Mehul Mohan (@mehulmpt) reported@PranavBobde @atybdot @aegloist I have had my fair share of problems with Razorpay (my tweet you quoted is almost 4 years old). However when I was in India running the company, I found other gateways even worse, so we never left Razorpay. Eventually the problems faded away and it worked consistently okay for us for Indian payments. Never left stripe/paypal, we had our own payment gateway orchestration sending people to right gateway based on their location

コリン (@Korin1989) reported@Wario64 Had it in cart. Microsoft doesnt accept PayPal and gives you errors to confirm payment before finally telling you we don't accept PayPal for this preorder. Then tried card and ooof it was gone.

TullyNotes (@fantony_francis) reported@GeniusGTX Everybody says the same stupid things. Passion, strategy, edge... scale marketing. Meanwhile, mega success sometimes comes down to simple luck, timing, or random events. Or buying 10 houses in NY back in 2005. This fat slob- he must eat all day- an Epstein camper and Soros lover- lucked out by being with a much smarter Peter T. and sold PayPal to eBay for 1.5B. In 02. Once in a lifetime.

Satoshoes (@satoshoes) reported@Novanoodle5165 @CashApp Glad it got resolved and sounds like just an error at least. Given my PayPal experience I'd still be sceptical personally

Cadillac Ceryss #smokefleet #nafo (@SerlyFilya) reported@Mutualaidboost2 I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

Stevie The Fixer: Lord Of The Impossible (@StevieTheFixer) reported@MinxGenie I usually buy on fleabay wether new or used items. Unlike Amazon they use PayPal and I have never been let down by them even if attempted scams. The only bad thing is EVRi being involved in sending stuff. They have discovered a hole in the universe between Nottingham and here!

If anyone knows how I can get this resolved, please help me out. 🙏 @PayPalIN @PayPal

E.G. Martínez² (@Egm225) reported@RealWarnerus PayPal has been my main middleman for online purchases, & so far I haven't had any problems.

John Score (@JScoreForever) reported@AndrewPerpetua Yeah, if you ever get an e-mail like this for an online account, or your bank or something (I get them for PayPal all the time, despite not even having a PayPal account), ALWAYS log into the actual service to check if there is actually an issue. Never use links in e-mails.

fallen | comms open (@fallxn_angxll_) reportedHad some trouble giving a refund to a foreign client (I had just created a Paypal account), explained to him the situation and he asked me to make another art for the same price I owed him instead I sent the sketch and he never replied back 🥲🥲

Liv’s Hub (Megs🩷) (@MyAngelLacy) reported@rays_in_bahrain Yeah I have gotten tickets from people on this app before and haven’t had any issues yet luckily!! paypal goods and services is the only way to go for this tho. It backs you up and will protect your money if you don’t get tickets. Anyone who doesn’t want to use it is 100% a scammer

MC (@mccdmatthew) reported@mauerstrasse I think app could be a good shopping destination, if there was a way to add item to basket and immediately pay with PayPal button. Unfortunately lots of friction. Home page looks terrible, but the backend works very well. Would like to think I could design better homepage.

Possum | CF23 prep (@Possumtion) reported@calogue_ Wait this happened to me last time, apparently its bcause the name i put in my paypal isnt my full name thats attached to the bank account. The issue fixed itself after i changed it
-
T 🇺🇸 (@MadeSLoppy) reported@Adiofreak @PayPal Honestly this sounds like a problem you started. Honestly what is the actual problem. Sounds like people are trolling you with donations and you are overreacting. Then you are blaming paypal, for "problems" that you created. Living with you must be a nightmare.

🌷𝙵𝚎𝚕𝚒𝚌𝚒𝚊 (@EarthyAngelFe) reported@MarrieyJefyc No I don't. I'm sorry it's giving you an issue. I had someone give a small donation just fine via PayPal.
