  • porcelainchaos Meagan G. (@porcelainchaos) reported

    Spend 3 hours browsing the @OldNavy website, collecting my shopping bag. Go to checkout. It rejects my PayPal payment method and then errors out my entire shopping bag, so now I have zero items in my shopping bag. This is why I don't do Black Friday.

  • Tea_air_raaaa Fire & Desire. (@Tea_air_raaaa) reported

    @PayPal @makethingseven But your customer service sucks! I don’t recommend using PayPal to anyone. I’ve been locked out of my account because of a problem on their end and they refuse to help me!

  • tylfc1 Diogoat 🐐 (@tylfc1) reported

    Anyone had problems on curry’s. I bought something and I’ve been charged but I never got a conformation email from them or PayPal

  • MxPixyStyx Mx.PixyStyx ☎️🚀💙💙(FRIEND OF THE OOD 🦑❄️🪐) (@MxPixyStyx) reported

    @LiamChave @PayPal I wondered. seriously though what really ticked me off was there was an option on the webpage to chat without login and they STRAIGHT UP removed it while i was having this issue. you don’t solve anything by making help harder to access.

  • silicon_valets Finkle is Einhorn (@silicon_valets) reported

    @AskPayPal Every time i log into paypal or pay, whether on app or pc i have to verifiy my account and enter a code sent by txt? this never used to be the case and now it is every time and is getting irritating. is this a glitch because if not why would you over complicate logging in /paying

  • dear_polywood Polykarpos Manousaridis (@dear_polywood) reported

  • cgarci21 ᴮᴱSuga Plum Fairy⁷ (@cgarci21) reported

    @AskPayPal hey, your customer care number hung up on me and when I was talking to a rep via message, as a guest because I’m locked out of my acct due to YOUR sms problem, they said the would escalate my acct. which they didn’t even have/ask for. DM me.

  • crayolapoo Karl (@crayolapoo) reported

    @MDRN1 @PayPal No issues here. Have you logged into your account on the PayPal app or website to check it out?

  • murphwiz Leon Murphy (@murphwiz) reported

    @AskPayPal @PayPalUK You’ve had ample opportunities to resolve this issue via your claims system, but you keep shutting it down when it gets a bit complicated. So I have no option but to open case with financial ombudsman, and also ASA, as buyer protection appears false advertising.

  • MxPixyStyx Mx.PixyStyx ☎️🚀💙💙(FRIEND OF THE OOD 🦑❄️🪐) (@MxPixyStyx) reported

    @carolinecstark @PayPal there was a link to chat without login, after they hung up on me i went back to try that, they REMOVED THE LINK. so i cannot ask for help at all. someone else suggested that theyre breaking down due to black friday traffic, but their response seems to be ‘pretend we’re not home’.

  • philosophus75 Patrick Baum (@philosophus75) reported

    @PayPal Your 2-factor-authentication is broken: neither message nor call reach me. that locks me out of my account.

  • schietkop @rno (@schietkop) reported

    @PeterSchiff PayPal and Square...... Lol only 2 companies pumping the price imagine..... Gold? Down..... U must be loosing so much money btc will suck gold empty

  • truck_puncher Burgundy David (@truck_puncher) reported

    @ASOS Hi ASOS. I have ordered 2 items and selected Pay x3 via PayPal. The issue is I have been charged 1 payment x2, but received no confirmation email from ASOS and nothing showing in my orders. I’m now concerned my items have been taken by someone else. Please advise ASAP.

  • _vikasgupta Vikas Gupta (@_vikasgupta) reported

    @quadernoapp The app is not importing transacions from Stripe and PayPal as expected. Can you look into this? All our automation are suffering because of the outage

  • dailydammit Daily Dam•mit (@dailydammit) reported

    @AskPayPal I've reset my account successfully but it won't let me login. It's only on the biggest shopping day of the year.

  • nanobook Karen Halliday (@nanobook) reported

    @AskPayPal It would be helpful if your phone callback service did what it offers! Im trying to unlock my account since there seems to be an issue with 2f today

  • ClashJen Jen clash (@ClashJen) reported

    @PayPal I have problems with my log in each time I try and use it. I now cannot contact you as it needs me to log in. Sort it out PayPal it’s just not good enough

  • jim7962 Jim Meta (@jim7962) reported

    @jimwexell So I’m sent the link to my wife to get this for me for Christmas....problem is that when she uses PayPal, I get 3 notifications on my phone!! @elliefinnerty how about that, I’m reading this too. Can’t wait to get it. So much for the surprise! #HereWeGo

  • brobey1 Brian (@brobey1) reported

    @MMBTVS @CheapFunBreaks Such a shame either way. Either people knowingly taking advantage of the system (with PayPal slow to react) or people overextending themselves to purchase trading cards.

  • WilliamCSmith1 Chuck Smith (@WilliamCSmith1) reported

    @fredjsnj @AskPayPal Yes they are down. I can’t login and others are having similar issues

  • Charliegirl Charlene B.C.Coleman (@Charliegirl) reported

    @PayPal What is the issue with your customer service? They are useless. I cannot login to your platform because you've determined I need to change my password. If you want to be a bank, act like one. Contact the customer via text or phone.

  • loftlizard26 Linda (@loftlizard26) reported

    @RazorriUS trying to purchase products but keep getting an error about authentication even trying different payment methods including PayPal

  • LouMillsYT Louis Mills (@LouMillsYT) reported

    @NikoOmilana really wanted to cop both Kerch but my cards not working and my paypal is asking for identification on the wrong phone absolutely gutted😞

  • Shimmerlicious_ moneyoholic (@Shimmerlicious_) reported

    I see that loads of you are having trouble logging into @PayPal, what I do to avoid that is to install an Authenticator app, go to my PayPal security settings and change it from verification code to the Authenticator app. Hopefully this’ll help you too @AskPayPal

  • coltondigital Colton ||⚡️💰 (@coltondigital) reported

    @JaranHustles LMAO it's a paypal glitch, these are actually all $6 or so sales. the tweet is all jokes anyways

  • danthat Dan Marshall (@danthat) reported

    ARGUABLY the best way is to buy my games at full price, or just PayPal me like £100,000? Buying my games on sale is actually a little way down the list, now I think about it, but still an alright and cool thing to do.
