Paypal Issues Reports

-
PeterPayFi (@PeterPayFi) reportedShe wasn't alone. Across Southeast Asia we kept meeting the same person — different country, different job, same problem. A nurse in Manila sending money home to her family. A developer in Ho Chi Minh City waiting on a US client payment. A freelancer in Bangkok juggling Wise, PayPal, and a local bank just to get paid. All of them losing time. All of them losing money. Every single month.

HRM (@iamwhealth_) reported@zillionokoye But the issue is the PayPal account

Old before my time (@wokeupold2day) reported@marknoble @grok Yeah I had paypal 15 years ago. Tell me again the problem that crypto solves?
-
Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reportedIt’s the same default setup most people use for email, banking, PayPal, cloud accounts, and recovery codes. Phone number equals “prove it’s you.” That’s the problem.
-
Karmagyaru (@karmagyaru) reported@gelleytoast I used PayPal for comms and didn't had any problem (besides the obligatory national tax even for clients tips) i waited 3 days for the money transference to another bank account
-
David Dawson (@TinyTalesX) reported@What_is_Praise @catturd2 It’s a terrible process. After I complained enough I got a letter from PayPal basically telling me to sue the buyer if I felt cheated.

Matthew Rife (@RifeTechnology) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal What happened? I saw that they locked you down this morning, but then saw that you got access back. They got you again after that?
-
Richard Moreland (@Regiemental) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @stripe You are most welcome. I am so sorry that Paypal has let you down so badly, but hopefully Stripe will be more than an adequate replacement; so that your work doesn’t get interrupted again. PayPal needs to review its policies and they should think first before doing things.

Faisal Hanif (@AatishE_Ishq) reported@umarsaif PayPal and payment is still an issue It can cross 6 billion easily with stripe or PayPal

This is honestly a new experience for me :/ I feel the money is just gone.

Peinlicher Pimmelprimat Jonas Thunecke 🐵🐒😵💫🤪 (@beastiebearpig) reported@klose_alfred @tc_xcx @tc_xcx do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he told me he'd spoil me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

Merzena Flores (@Merzena_GFX) reported@WhackWiz I can make dope one but problem is I am not Roblox user! If you can use PayPal or any other method then I can draw!

Derek (@OilBeak) reported@PayPal I've been trying to get money off of your site and into my bank for like 6+ months and have run into issue after issue. I keep getting told "oh just try again" and things get pushed down the line for another week.

Rephormed Nationalist (@AntonTwerkovitz) reported@MatthewParrott JD Vance is a stand-in for Theil, Palantir, PayPal mafia, etc. He doesn't have sensible positions because he doesn't have any actual positions beyond what benefits the aforementioned parties and/or gets him elected. It comes down to how you feel about his backers, mentors, etc.

Big Brain AI (@realBigBrainAI) reportedOracle Co-Founder and Chairman Larry Ellison on why AI is fundamentally different from every tech bubble that came before it: He starts with the internet bubble — not to warn us, but to make a distinction most people are missing. "When people talk about bubbles, what is a bubble? People get exuberant. But the internet was an incredible new technology. It remains the foundation of computing, and we couldn't have AI without the internet." The technology was never the problem. The confusion was. "People started confusing internet companies like PayPal, or even worse internet search, with pets/com." He breaks it down simply: "The fact that I can sell pet food on an e-commerce site doesn't suddenly mean I'm an internet company. Not really." PayPal used the web to build something genuinely new. Pets/com just moved an existing business online and called it innovation. Same label. Completely different substance. He sees the pattern repeating today: "Yes, there'll be people spending money on AI because almost every tech company these days calls themselves an AI company. But they're not. A lot of them are not." But here is where Ellison draws the line between then and now. The internet was foundational. But AI is something else entirely: "AI in terms of its value, this is the highest value technology we have ever seen. By far."

LeatherNeck🇺🇸⭐🇺🇸⭐🇺🇸⭐ (@RuhRohRaggieroo) reported@codeofvets @PayPal Hey, @PayPal, what's your problem? Helping veterans should be a top priority, shouldn't it? Figure it out.

CYAN-ZET 🎀 ✨ ◤ ᴠᴀʀᴛɪꜱᴛ ◥ ✨🎀 (@CyanZet_) reported@SenSenVT Nuuu it's was my bank's problem, Paypal didn't do anything wrong

Your Highness (@QueenLiaRegina) reportedIt’s interesting that fintech didn’t start out tight at women receiving money for nothing and calling it **********. Some of the established women still have no issue using Paypal or Stripe… but 0th3r$

Judy 🇺🇸👮🏻🐗 (@AFJudy70) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @stripe PayPal didn’t have a problem getting their share of veterans donations. Shameful.

Jordan Keyser (@jordankeyser) reported@CHINNIE1380 @Youngjoeybaby Yeah I used PayPal, didn’t know it would be an issue!

DigiVT 🌱🐾 Space Cat (@DigiiVT) reportedFun fact. Now that Stipe/Ko-Fi changed the way they check business information (in the EU). I am now stuck in a loop of: document shows my POBox, it does not accept POBox as a valid address, give private address, address doesn’t match document so is not approved... I already have a rich past of having problems with Ko-Fi and these payment systems, so I am kind of just done trying. Soon (in like 40 days) you will only be able to pay there with the PayPal options (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo etc.). If you would ever want to tip me and are unable to use these payment options; you can also use the donation tab on digivt. store or the spicy blue site 💙

Silicon Salvage (@SiliconSalvage) reportedTwo payments stocks. Nearly the same share price. Completely opposite bets. $PYPL: $42, 7.9x earnings. $FOUR: $39, 45x earnings. Same sector, same ~$40 sticker price — but the market pays ~6x more per dollar of profit for Shift4 than for PayPal. Both got hit today ($PYPL -3.6%, $FOUR -5.2%), but Shift4’s down 64% from its high vs. 47% for PayPal. So which would you rather own at $40: the slow giant priced for death, or the fast grower still at a premium after a 64% crash?

Vermilion | VGen (@QAVermilion) reported@Colour_awr @_VGen_ @PayPal Wa. (File a counter issue, show all proof of delivery and that they use the VGen service. If they still side with the scammer, do check the law in your country and basically threaten them, they should revert back the funds to you.)
