    @AskPayPal hi. I have an issue that I want to resolve. Thanks.

  • ronenfield Ron Enfield (@ronenfield) reported

    @eBay is cutting Paypal out& using Managed Payments. Somebody forgot to tell someone at eBay that their mechanism to donate sales proceeds to nonprofits is now broken. The $$ now goes direct to seller, not to the charity.

  • cityflower21 shosh (@cityflower21) reported

    the company i got a np19 goth alt jersey from got shut down for copyright infringement lmaoooooo ... but at least paypal gave me a refund???

  • TrailheadsSG Trailheads SG (@TrailheadsSG) reported

    @LWOSMattPollard Down to 5 left in inventory. Sold them leading up to and including the tailgate at the preseason game at the new stadium. Msg @AnnieCOSPGS if you want to pay her via PayPal or Zelle to hold one for you. You can pick it up at the tailgate on 5/21.

  • Moonlight_Croww Dyn // Commissions Open (@Moonlight_Croww) reported

    @milkymosaic The problem is: Brazilian PayPal is somehow different from the north-american one, so from what I know there isn't even a number I can call to resolve the issue, so I'm just smashing my head on my keyboard and calling it a day 🙇🤦

  • Newtination Newt (@Newtination) reported

    @VideoGamesPlus_ @eastasiasoft I managed to grab a game, and pay for it but the success screen didn't happen since it 523'd or 503'd, but it took money from my PayPal lol, description is blank though in e-mail so have a feeling there's an issue.

  • johnmarkharris John H. (@johnmarkharris) reported

    .@PayPal is great for receiving money, but don’t ever pay for anything with PayPal. I had a glitch buying a @UPS label 3 weeks ago and had $14.84 “held” 3 times in a row. UPS said it’s usually released 24-72 hours depending on the “bank.” PayPal is still holding my money.

    @RebelNewsOnline thought you guys were shut down by paypal for spreading misinformation?

  • GabagoolK Gabagool King (@GabagoolK) reported

    @OtieeBoiii Did you issue a charge back through PayPal for pokemon cards purchased on Twitch?

  • SoulFairy3 Soul 🇿🇦🏳️‍🌈 (@SoulFairy3) reported

    @F_2chainz @thabang_R I sold PayPal to buy Aterian. I have no time for slow pokes now. I can buy PayPal when I'm bored again. I still love the company but Aterian needed some TLC

  • milkymosaic milky.mosaic (@milkymosaic) reported

    @Moonlight_Croww Good luck! I hope they can do something to help you. I have no idea how Paypal can go around being so big but having /the worst/ customer service. 😡 They suck. I feel like everyone has some problem using it. 😩

  • ssaig ˗ˏˋ Sai ˊˎ˗ 🇮🇳 (@ssaig) reported

    Anyone with PayPal experience here. Have an urgent issue to clarify @2shar @ePandu @PranavHegdeHere ?

  • Hydra_Saiko Hydra ヒドラ (@Hydra_Saiko) reported

    @Etsy I'm trying to purchase something and I'm on the basket and I keep on going back and forth on PayPal payment... I dont want to store my card on etsy Please fix its annoying as heck I keeps on asking me to log in to my paypal

  • tonykidk17 Anthkony $nell (@tonykidk17) reported

    @mattswider Hey what happens if I accidentally bought two is that possible? I checked out with PayPal and it gave an error and then I used gpay and I got it and got a confirmation. Then looking at my email I see a pending payment on PayPal

  • luxconduct LUX 🧙🏻‍♂️ (@luxconduct) reported

    @THETYFRANKEL Rarely, because those people can't fix my problems Example: GF: "how are you" Me: "never been better" But I just lost $20K trading crypto, my PayPal was banned and website went down because of a hosting issue She can't solve my problems, so it's irrelevant how I feel

  • BelleTheGoddes1 BelleTheGoddess (@BelleTheGoddes1) reported from Town 'n' Country, Florida

    @Niinafinessedme I'd be down for that. Instead they're asking for my PayPal to send me money so I can buy the product. They should just send a gift card.

  • misterhtmlcss Roger (@misterhtmlcss) reported

    @NickRuffilo @stripe Oh I'm not requesting anything with Stripe. Sorry for that miss communication. I wanted to share the two problems and platforms I'm already struggling with. I'll circle back to @PayPal & give them a look. Thanks you for the idea!

  • hayhay4k hayhay :) (@hayhay4k) reported

    so I thought about a charity subathon. Before taxes and after twitch/paypal takes their cuts, I will match every cent/hit/sub donated. I haven’t heard from my family who lives in the West Bank of Palestine. It’s terrible- I heard the the medical teams that head out to the ...

  • thijsniks Thijs Niks 💉💉 (@thijsniks) reported

    @AndrewSweet And the existence of PayPal, Venmo, Cash, and Zelle proves the point that the core system is lacking capabilities for US customers too. No other country has 4 large private networks to try and fix a broken public service.

  • marloljohnson marlo (@marloljohnson) reported

    @DCLBlogger @jack There was an issue where the tipper was given a receipt with the receiver’s address, so I’d probably make sure that’s fixed before using, though. Might be a PayPal thing.

  • T_SMartin S Martin (@T_SMartin) reported

    @kathygriffin @AOC Ah. I'd be careful who you align with. They could drag you with them as they go down. How's the lawyer bills? Try using PayPal...it's paperless!

  • weebeealt bee uwu (@weebeealt) reported

    Today is a proper **** day Just got my merch payout Bad news, the PayPal account it was linked to got shut down. cant have it.

  • sstephaniesayss S.R. Wesley (@sstephaniesayss) reported

    @PayPal is your website down or something? it wont let me reset my password via email. it says something went wrong on your end. i cant access my account at all.

  • zenchronicles1 zenchronicles (@zenchronicles1) reported

    @AskeBay Therefore I opened a dispute with PayPal & they said they are going to look into it. My problem is the non-existent communication between both (eBay and PayPal). If I have DM both of you in the same chat here then that’s what has to be done so eBay can confirm to @AskPayPal that

  • millerannette Annette Miller 🗨️💰🧑🏾‍🤝‍🧑🏼💙💬 (@millerannette) reported

    Payments are a disaster zone. Twice this week, I've had transaction problems because I was paying with 2 methods. Macy's I couldn't use a gift card and charge PayPal for the remainder due Delta Using an eCredit somehow interfered with processing the remainder due by credit card

  • SyMwez Sy 🇺🇬🇮🇱 (@SyMwez) reported

    @AskPayPal @PayPal your customer service is terrible!

  • DizzyDuchessXrd alice (@DizzyDuchessXrd) reported

    Mmm would be nice if paypal didnt deadname me when ordering stuff online. Especially when im like 100% sure i put my real name down for the shipping address

  • Grimsfury Red Tiger (@Grimsfury) reported

    Signed up to @webnovel via @AskPayPal, but didn't sign in. I checked out as a guest. Now I can't cancel the sub through webnovel, who tells me to do it through PP, but it's not under my subscriptions so I can't cancel it there. (1/2)

  • LungaMrhetjha Mabhalane (@LungaMrhetjha) reported

    @kabelo_mahloele @Nathi_KaJobe How much of his own money did he put in from his PayPal deal versus the investments from the US government? Don’t jump like me. Take your time to break it down to this keyboard master.
