    @bryan_caplan @PayPal When PayPal couldn't keep up with their customer support calls, it was the great entrepreneur Elon Musk, who decided to simply remove all physical phones and let the problems work themselves out. That strategy continues to today.

    @bryan_caplan @PayPal If your paypal is funded from a credit card the credit card company should be able to fix it for you

  • taylorgrayson Taylor Grayson (@taylorgrayson) reported

    @bryan_caplan @PayPal I didn't use my PayPal account for over ten years because it contained an old address for shipping that the web interface would not display for me and thus I couldn't change. I finally broke down and called; having to do that is what I consider a website flaw.

  • Maclac7 Maclac (@Maclac7) reported

    @AskPayPal a complaint was raised on my behalf, before 27th December. I cannot access or use my PayPal as I've recently changed my mobile number. When I login to my PayPal, it wants to send a unique code to my old mobile number. I've never heard from your complaints team!

  • TommyPfink Tommy Shelby (@TommyPfink) reported

    @FDSportsbook Do you guys think you're ******* funny??? Making it so when I try adding money from PayPal and it just sits there without going through. If I get charged for multiple deposits I'm going to piss down each on of your dumb ******* throats

  • kpen79 Kathleen (@kpen79) reported

    @AskPayPal I have received a package from a seller, but instead of the Nintendo switch, I had ordered it was a pack of 5 KN9 Masks. The package sent weighed 0.5 G when a Switch weighs 4 pounds to ship. Please resolve this issue.

  • marlachildress Marla Childress (@marlachildress) reported

    @AskPayPal (PP-L-255890068952) and (PP-L-255905581040). I am tired of these back and forth “direct messages” from PayPal. Read the transcripts of these conversations bc actually speaking w a human at @PayPal is impossible. PayPal has everything you need to resolve this so please fix it!

    @RevolutBusiness why you have to move to Lituanie? the IBAN is shadowed everywhere, it looks like it's accepted but there is no way to pay direct debit with them on Paypal or anywhere. Shadowdow ban is the worst of kind @AskPayPal fix this !!

  • ExplicoLo Fernando (@ExplicoLo) reported

    @bryan_caplan @PayPal Had a similar problem with my @UberEats account. I just asked my bank to freeze my card and perform a charge back. They suddenly cared then.

    @means_tv @MMNonMeansTV Hey sorry to bother again, I tried my credit card first for the subscription, it came back with an error message and so I used my PayPal, now looking at my credit card it looks like I may have been charged twice. Will the pending CC authorization go away? 😨

    Para-social relationships are a very real issue which many content creators exploit and it's really disgusting. Anyway you guys are all my best friends! Like and follow and donate to my paypal!!!

  • _JaneyLaney Legally, JaneyLaney || #BlackMinecraft (@_JaneyLaney) reported

    @Tired_Wifey Right!!! So he agreed to PayPal! His main issue was fee...which is the issue for a lot of people. But I agreed to the PayPal option. And I also checked his selling score . We are also both in a Pokémon go group

  • CloudScene_McD McD (@CloudScene_McD) reported

    @bryan_caplan @PayPal Did you get useful replies to this question? I recommend enabling two-factor authentication where you'll be send a code to enable a login and that should stop unauthorized purchasing. Some clever gamer has figured out a hack to get free shopto dollars. Keep pressure on PayPal.

  • RuleXRP JamesRuleXRP💫HODL💫DYOR💫Don't FOMO🚀👊😎 (@RuleXRP) reported

    2/2 #USDT instead of PayPal. I refused because PayPal is set up on my business account. They paid me via PayPal with fees, but why was #USDT Tether such a big deal? The Ellipal Titan is my cold hardware wallet of choice, but the USDT issue sparks a question..... 🤔
