    @BitcoinGuide8 @BitcoinUltras @jacobko84 why do you need Ethereum when you can just have a centralized relational database that performs all of your smart contracts with almost no overhead? eth isn't solving the problem of money. it's adding features to Paypal.

    So, @AskPayPal still don't actually read your queries, they take the first sentence and answer that not the actual problem. On here they asked to DM a few days ago and they replied with the same bullshit. They have very ****** messenger service

    @MothmanArt It’s really frustrating but I had a lot of people unhappy when I couldn’t accept PayPal for a few days due to an issue with my account, so I will be begrudgingly keeping mine orz I understand your decision though

    @AndersenAngus With full awareness it doesn't address the bigger issues, do you have a paypal or Interac I can share?

  • DingleRaj raj ****** (@DingleRaj) reported

    PayPal offer no protection against rogue sellers. I returned some goods Tracked via Royal mail and now they are asking me to return them again in order to issue a refund. How is that possible and there is no one to speak to. Be aware of dubious PayPal protection @PayPalUK

  • robtaylorcase Rob Taylor-Case (@robtaylorcase) reported

    @krenshar_posts Yep! That's how I got the PayPal Giving Fund Canada link. The internet has trained me to assume everything is terrible, y'know.

  • inspirations75 dawn wood (@inspirations75) reported

    @AskPayPal hi I am having problems intermittently with my PayPal card reader. Sometimes the client swipes or puts their pin in & then it just says processing but does nothing. Yesterday it kept coming up declined on both contactless & within a pin for no reason at all
