    I’ve been trying to link my bank with my PayPal for THREE DAYS. I keep getting errors and try again later. 🤬😡

  • masalaifrog masalaifrog (@masalaifrog) reported

    @Michaeline @CyberDazer @SamoNaro Well the other issue about investing in BTC from PNG is that accounts like CoinBase don't allow trading from PNG, even a PNG based PayPal account doesn't allow you to buy Cryptos yet. So we can't even easily buy Sataoshi's yet here

  • LimeSlushy Slushed Lime (@LimeSlushy) reported

    @MOCHlCREAM I’d be so down but I can’t use it if it’s thru PayPal and can’t even use it if it’s from a bank, it has to be in change (which I can’t withdraw from PayPal or my bank), even paper money doesn’t work. It’s 40$ with taxes to Uber to his house but I already crowdfunded for-

    Hey @paypal and @AskPayPal, I've been on the phone to you guys three times now about why I can receive but can't send money despite being able to barely a month ago and being told different things each time I call. I'm losing business. Fix it, or I'm taking my $ elsewhere.

    @PayPal. I’ve been trying to resolve an issue since Christmas. Seller sold me a severely different item than pictured. I sent the item back to China per your instruct and now you choose to not refund me? I have no money and no item. Cust Serv won’t answer and chat no help either.

  • EruditeElf WanderingRN (@EruditeElf) reported

    Hey @AskPayPal I have 400.00 "on hold" for ZERO reason. I'm driving cross country and I need that money now. I literally can't get a hotel room because of YOU. Fix my ****, please. @PayPal

  • DerekMc27239593 Derek McDaniel (@DerekMc27239593) reported

    @RomanchukBrian Btc is fine. It's just decentralized paypal. Mining, is a silly exercise designed to solve a coordination problem. Mining just proves someone prices it more than zero, to the point of investing capital assets(hardware). Bitcoin is not better off with a higher market cap.

  • HamptureI I Chose Hampture (@HamptureI) reported

    Before anyone asks, I voluntarily went to BK fully intending to eat their food product because they accept Paypal. Someone did an identity theft on me, my card was shut down & the replacement isn't here yet. Only Dominos & BK accept Paypal, I'm tired of pizza & out of canned food

  • JacobBoucher20 Jacob (@JacobBoucher20) reported

    @LunaLuvsU_ contact paypal and issue a chargeback if no replies from her. dont mess around with that stuff she never gonna learn until she actually get ****** by a charge back

  • HamptureI I Chose Hampture (@HamptureI) reported

    @Spessmen That would either require that I drive to the store to purchase said salts which is unsafe because of the snow & impossible unless the store accepts Paypal until my new card arrives, or for a wheeled delivery vehicle to bring it to me, same problem until the snow melts
