  • TheLordofBTC Lord_OF_BTC (@TheLordofBTC) reported

    As good as the Curv news is, I hope @PayPal never makes it in crypto. So many people have issues with PayPal locking accounts etc. as it is for measly payment processing, imagine holding lots of money on there.. no thanks:)

  • DaiShimaVT Dai Shima (@DaiShimaVT) reported

    "Your account access is temporarily limited" Thanks paypal. Well they better fix it faster this time.

  • nintendohyuck tatyana (@nintendohyuck) reported

    @jingyoroo This is the issue I had, and I waited for them to reply which took 5 months, so I would suggest to contact paypal if thats the method you used to pay

  • themeredith pretty and rude (@themeredith) reported

    @aspiringburner I have a SERIOUS problem with taking edibles and online shopping, Apple Pay and PayPal make it WAY too easy!!!

  • SrAlex76490804 The Little Duck (@SrAlex76490804) reported

    @Workedia This increase is apparently due to the paypal news, but as I see on f2pool they added 1900 bitcoin a few hours ago. maybe we will go down in price. or I don't know.

  • chungdha Chung Dha Lam (@chungdha) reported

    @DocumentingBTC Atleast holding BTC in Paypal instead of other money currencies your money will go up instead of down due to inflation.

  • AfordHobby AFord Hobby (@AfordHobby) reported

    @5tevenRo55 @eBay @PayPal I get that..but when other users are contacting you about similar issues with the user, that’s when it’s obvious. Also, what do we have feedback for? 100% positive feedback as opposed to 0 feedback (at the time) and refuses to communicate with the seller when I asked questions

  • SebastianJunior Sebastian Junior (@SebastianJunior) reported

    @methodproducts Nobody from your lame C/S team contacted me. I;am escalating the issue to PayPal now. I will never purchase any of your product again.

  • jackhig25 Jack Higgins (@jackhig25) reported

    @talktoBOI Hi I contacted you this morning regarding a Xoom payment into my bank account. I used Xoom, a PayPal site, to transfer money to my bank account and after being told the transaction was complete the money is still not in my account. What is the issue regarding this?

  • JSCryptoAccount JSCrypto (@JSCryptoAccount) reported

    I have like 40% of my PF in LTC and ADA which are both pretty much not moving unlike everything else. Super tough to leave it in there when you can see so much else going up. The issue is, if Paypal makes their announcement or there is a Cardano announcement, they'll both rocket.

  • grudell A tennis nerd (@grudell) reported from Greenville, South Carolina

    @ElCryptorino @PayPal @Algorand Yet - $Algo is down this am and has been oscillating for the past couple weeks. When do all these announcements translate into price movement?

  • TravisSMcClain TravisSMcClain (@TravisSMcClain) reported

    I am decidedly not happy that @Mastercard took it on themselves to block @PayPal and @Venmo as part of their new wildly aggressive anti-fraud program. I had no idea they'd even done that until I had to contact my card's bank to find out what the problem was.
