    @AskPlayStation Thank you - i get to the point where it lets me start to ‘add a child’ then it rejects every payment option I put in for verification. I’ve tried credit/debit/PayPal - I have called the bank and there are no issues with my cards. Please let me know. Thanks

  • bartonfriedland Barton Friedland (@bartonfriedland) reported

    When I call your support line on 888 221 1161 I am told that my issue cannot be dealt with by phone and that I should use the help center. Your staff respond to my PayPal account message center, however, the issue I am having blocks me from accessing this resource. Can you help?

  • HisWayUp Gavin Owen (@HisWayUp) reported

    @AskPayPal Please can you tell me how can I speak to a human on the phone about my account? I've had a problem for a month but can't resolve it via your online support system because the agents who have responded to my messages have been, to be blunt, useless.

  • NigelDragon NigelDragon 🇳🇱 (@NigelDragon) reported

    @PinkHrothyDad if its paid through paypal, you can give them a warning like "im sorry i have to do this, but if you arent working on my commission without a reason i will issue a refund". it may sound rude but if they have gone completely off the radar it might be your last solution.

  • boredwalktees Boredwalk 🌊 (@boredwalktees) reported

    @HiddenStashArt We don’t bother talking to infringers. We send takedown notices to whoever is enabling them — Etsy, Shopify, Google, PayPal, etc. That’s who can shut them down. They may keep popping up but PayPal, Etsy, etc. do have some systems in place to at least try to stop that.
