  PayPal is fine tbh except bowing down to payment processor.

  @TerraDraca @Grummz Because arseholes on the internet will report you and PayPal wont care enough to actually check manually. Thats what started this whole thing a while ago. PayPal received shedloads of complaints about morally grey content and decided to shut it down rather than deal with it

  @MeganKayleigh @JustEatUK Yep, they're thieving scumbags. I ordered food, something didn't arrive & had a video of my partner opening a SEALED McDonald's bag & they refused to refund despite showing them the video. Paid with Paypal and they refunded. Issue chargeback if you paid by card & delete account.

  @AskPayPal You never seem to understand how frustrating and time consuming this is. There is no account access issues tab , and resolution center asks for mobile code, which I do not have access to. Can you really be of any help? I have been reaching on X with a weak hope that you can solve this fraudulent suspicious thing.

  Every time I do my tax, I get reminded how incredibly idiotic the @PayPal reporting interface is... I'm actively moving everything away from sending money or receiving money with PayPal because it is just... absolutely terrible. I have no words. Not only are the reports convoluted, badly structured, filters are useless, filters don't work, they refuse to validate, they are inconsistent, date formats are sometimes US-formatted, other times UK-formatted. Oh, and they log you out of your session like after a few seconds... The classic case of: we built something but we're not actually using it ourselves. Who approved this? And yes, it's been stupid like this for years.

  @AskPayPal @AskPayPal already tried calling the phone number, but the call does not connect. I cannot access Message Center or other support options because I cannot log into my account due to the OTP issue. Please provide an alternative way to verify my identity and recover access to my id

  @FredMartinezST @nepentia @CharuSan83 Technology? Hilarious what’s the miracle tech that xrp provides? Zelle , PayPal , WesterUnion send money more efficiently trusted by everyone and no one questions it … xrp ? Not so much … downtrending hard since Jan 2018 and nothing can stop it going down … joke is on you all

  ******' devastated. had my phone and laptop ready. refreshed right at launch time and was met with errors. got in a few minutes later but the qty option on both devices was glitching. managed to add about half my order to cart and was literally signing into PayPal when it refreshed because something sold out. i removed it and tried again. that cycle repeated itself 5 times. everything sold out before i could process a single cart. couldn't even get a pair of ******' underware. way to go @CalvinKlein. im heart broken.

  15 years using paypal with 0 issues, when will you all understand that the only single thing you need to put is just “illustration”, “detailed painting” or whatever similar without giving any damn description of it, also why none of you read the rules of paypal?

  From what I understand the the set of laws they have built in the EU are less about censorship(they don't care about it) and more about breaking the 90%+ marketshare VISA and Mastercard have. Most payment systems around the world(Stripe,Paypal for example) rely on the existing VISA/MasterCard networks. The change is that a service can now directly connect to your bank account in the EU completely bypassing the VISA/Mastercard network in order to bring down prices and introduce competition. It has apparently worked.

  I’m sick of it I’m tired I’m wore down I’m stressed and overwhelmed. For no reason someone went after my kofi which all of my art and writings I created. I filed an appeal but it will take up to 7 days to even hear back. My moms medical can’t wait I have other PayPal links

  XRP just got a new label at Consensus 2026: World Bridge Currency. LIFTT Capital's Ted was asked one question about XRP on stage at Hederacon in Miami. His answer: three words. Here's the logic. PayPal processes payments. Cash App processes payments. Every major fintech platform runs a closed loop: money goes in, money stays inside. Moving value between these systems is slow, expensive, and built on legacy rails loaded with intermediaries. Ted's argument: interoperability is the missing layer. One bridge currency that connects all these walled gardens seamlessly. His pick is $XRP. "I am not talking about a coin. I am not talking about a dollar. I am not talking about an exchange note. Currency is the purest form of money — and that is what we are going to be seeing with XRP." The counterpoint: Goldman Sachs just exited $154 million in XRP ETF holdings across Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares. Institutional selling at scale. Two narratives colliding

  @TerraDraca @Grummz I've been using PayPal for 6 years and I've NEVER put "lewd" on an invoice, I only put "Digital Service" and that's how it should be to avoid problems..

  Honestly, I’d love to use Stripe, but the problem is it's not supported in my country. It’s such a shame that PayPal is my only option for accepting international payments.😔

  @LilSpoot @DOMDOOET I would say to do a chargeback and not message them because there’s no point after you got ghosted but since you passed 180 day mark and if you did use PayPal, that’s really not much option at this point. Either they passed away or IRL issues.

  Regarding the c0mms... I still haven't resolved the problem... I need to contact PayPal, but I admit I don't think it will lead to good news... so I'm a bit short on ideas. I always kept track of those who wanted to do it, I haven't forgotten you... 9/11

  @itsalexiagrace Shame on them!! Although I have to say at least they let you get your money. @PayPal shut my account down and they don’t want to give me my money back. They blocked my *****, ***** money

  @SwissKnifeInv Have you ever compared buying something with $PYPL vs Apple Pay ? Worlds apart That’s why PayPal is down so much

  Angel Camacho (@AngelCam7) reported 46 minutes ago

  Wanting to purchase stuff directly from the Glitch store is so hard... I mean, yeah, I could pay with PayPal, but why does it not have the Pay in 4 option? That would make things so much easier.

  @Grummz Deapite de massive fees on transactions I’ve had to deal with paypal bullshit since 2014 but in 2019 after all my details address and legal stuff was filled I haven’t had any other issues. I’ve got 2 of my previous account shut down back in 2016 and 2018 but at least they allowed me to withdraw all the funds before they closed the accounts completely

  @athcanft I’ve had offers go through till escrow stage (no PayPal at high enough valuation) and people drop out and disappear before payment. ID verified no issue
