    @AskPayPal I am 19 years old (born 2007). I've sent my ID but got banned for being under 18. This is a technical error, please review it manually.

    @Spookidusk Ugh, this is terrible! If you sent payment through PayPal you could theoretically do a chargeback since it hasn't hit the 6 month mark- if you are comfortable w that and feel you have no other options. If you wanted, I'd be happy to draw something for you for funzies <3

    @ryancohen I just read that post and it resonated with me. I used to sell on eBay in the early 2000’s. I’ve completely stopped. I just logged in to my old account which is still active. The fact that I used to use it a ton, I even had an ebay store, and have not logged in for a decade is indicative of a problem with eBay. By the way I know it’s somewhat unrelated, but PayPal has brutal customer service. I just wasted an hour on the phone with them this evening.

    @AskPayPal Hi, I’m having the same problem and this didn’t work for me. I can’t access the chat without logging in. What can i do? I’ve tried calling but they said this phone isn’t registered to their system. Idk what else to do

    @Yaw_nyame35 They do not have any problems with sending speeding tickets by email. And one can pay with PayPal instead of an international money transfer.

    @CardPurchaser this is my opinion, and would like to see if others feel the same. Ever since Venmo started offering the immediate transfer option on accounts for the extra fee like Paypal has, Venmo then slowed down their free regular transfer method to try and push people into using it. It's bad customer service, just to make extra money. I never in the past had to wait more than 24-48 hours for my free transfers to go through despite it saying it could take 1-3 business days.

    Why is @PayPal asking for father's documents? Just because Adhaar address includes "S/O [Father's Name]" as per their gov ID format? This is a huge privacy overreach and a failure to understand local document formatting. Fix this. @AskPayPal #DigitalIndia #PayPal

    i'm Malaysian, live between NYC, Dubai, Spain, and nomad. Earn in USD, invest globally, send MYR home, trade on hyperliquid last weekend i used: -Wise (1.5% fee) -Chase bank (slow + fee) -Binance (worse rate) -Paypal -Hyperliquid (separate wallet) Paypal took $40 from my mom's birthday transfer so I'm building @tachyon_fi one app for all of it, with one API to route between all routes

    @HardRockBet seriously bro, you guys have the worst system of all books. Suspend my account for 5 days to verify my paypal. Reactivate it..I use my debit card to withdrawal my winnings been processing since the 11th. How come you guys are the only ones with these issues??????????

    @N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you

    @Hemomal @PayPal @AskPayPal Did you try to unlink the bank account ? Sometime with large amonthof money paypal does that and thats how i "fixed" the issue . Just unlink and link it back. If you got multiple card you can also put another card to make sure

    I'm planning to start PayPal commissions soon... The reason is that I need money to repair my PC, which is still relatively new but has broken down, and my secondary PC is too old to be used for game development 🥲 I really need the money 🥲

    Update on Commissions: I will be closing them for now due to issues with PayPal, once the issue is resolved, I will open up again

    @StreamlabsHelp @zachbussey Paypal is well known to lock accounts and balances. Ever since I was a kid i had paypal issues and I don't trust it. I don't feel safe, connecting paypal business to anything related to where I actually live. Are you guys willing to try and imitate SEPay? It was an amazing feature. Not to mention the sponsorships from stream elements. I went back to streamlabs today. And the sponsorship page didn't work.

    2017-2018 I lost many gigs just because of payment issues. You had to wait for 14 days for fiverr to clear your funds. Using PayPal with pseudo-names and masked location means you are one message away from getting suspended. It’s truly transformative to see @RaenestApp solving these issues for freelancers

    I feel awful for the creators as patreon seems to use them as a human shield, I attempted to contact patreon since its there websites issue but the number provided by them to paypal is non functional and support was an infinate bot loop. So to the 2 creators im sorry patreons ***

    @jcpenney WORST experience trying to return order. Traveled twice to “nearest” store. First time the system shut down. Second time I was told I could only receive a gift card for full amount back even though I paid with part gift card and @PayPal. PayPal has been no help either.

    @PayPal My paypal account of 18 years was permanently blocked this morning, with no reason given. Your support staff has been less than helpful. I use paypal every week for automated payments, Apple, Google play, and Ebay purchases. I have not broken your TOS.
