  • TawaInnocent innocent tawa (@TawaInnocent) reported

    @AskPayPal you were to resolve my issue within 24 hours, it went to another 24 hours and now more than 72 hours. Can you be straight and open with me, am I getting the money or opt out for a different platform. I don't want jargons, be straight and simple.

  • BootsHelp Boots Help (@BootsHelp) reported

    @tapetone Hi Erin, if there was a technical issue at the time the order was placed then the funds will have been set into a preauthorisation by PayPal. Can you send us a DM with your email address, full name and DOB so we can look into this for you? Thanks- Gaby

    @LeilaniDowding @PayPal @PayPalUK You may as well shut down most of MSM, as they all refused to allow any comments that were anti vax .

    @horrordwarf @RickScottFlynn I don’t get why Bandcamp doesn’t let you sub with PayPal I’m sure that would solve the problems

  • HALA19651 Stuck in the middle with you (@HALA19651) reported

    @Duffeh_Leeds @sharrond62 @PayPal Yesterday PayPal closed down the account of an anti-********** group. Hmmmm.

  • AussieAlex27 Alex 🌸 (@AussieAlex27) reported

    @SethDillon @PayPal This is just further evidence that shutting down my PayPal account a few months ago was a really good idea. Their behaviour as a company is disgraceful; and shows that they are morally bankrupt degenerates.

  • glosuk68 glosuk68 (@glosuk68) reported

    @jusu2304 @sharrond62 @PayPal Regrettably it wouldn’t have surprised me if Sharron wasn’t further down their list anyhow. And I closed my account a few days ago too.

  • sinichol Simon Nicholls (@sinichol) reported

    @toadmeister How is it totalitarianism? The definition of the word is that all other avenues are closed down, that you’re subject to a dictatorship. Yet, PayPal is just one business in a free market that doesn’t want your custom anymore. How have they stopped you being a client elsewhere?

  • Jjulian6412 SassMaggs (@Jjulian6412) reported

    @offshorebella @PayPal I had that issue; you need to delete all payees - I wasn't even aware some of them were still listed. After deleting each one (in the 'active list), you should be able to cancel your account 👍

  • ekpo_oreva Ekpo Oreva (@ekpo_oreva) reported

    @AskPayPal PayPal Am tired try and resolve this problem

  • JohnieClayton_ johnieclayton (@JohnieClayton_) reported

    @OneSwitch @GBNEWS They didn't shut the FSU down. PayPal are not a utility. The FSU are still free to express their views and use other payment providers.

  • IsoTupe Guybrush Woodthreep (@IsoTupe) reported

    @toadmeister Well done PayPal for shutting down the accounts of people who make money by deliberately spreading dangerous misinformation.

  • KISSARM48156677 KISS ARMY (@KISSARM48156677) reported

    @LeeHurstComic PayPal hopefully will go down losing custom like a led ballon

  • JunquetbySolent Junquet🇬🇧 (@JunquetbySolent) reported

    A question was raised in Parliament and it was agreed the PayPal issue should be debated. Am I optimistic there will be change - not really! These institutions are too big!

  • OneSwitch Barrie Ellis (@OneSwitch) reported

    @JohnieClayton_ @GBNEWS Shut them down from using PayPal. On-line payment for some sites is PayPal only. It's not healthy.

  • jusu2304 Julies (@jusu2304) reported

    @sharrond62 @PayPal Sorry, I first read it as they closed your account down 😳

  • OneSwitch Barrie Ellis (@OneSwitch) reported

    @JohnieClayton_ @GBNEWS Shut them down from PayPal access was what I was saying. PayPal are offering what's becoming a key service for convenient use of the internet for many. That's a utility in my book, or getting close to one. We'll agree to disagree, but this is extremely unhealthy to my eyes.

  • elso_pedro pedro Elso (@elso_pedro) reported

    @realDailyWire Is @PayPal liable for aiding a peddo ring? Should this even be a question? How do we fix the first world and rid ourselves from those who would hurt our children and our women?

    @Josie19752 @PayPalUK Other charities are not having problems with PayPal. Probably because they're not spouting misinformation.
