The Bitcoin Diaries Fashion (@btcdiaries21) reported@HumbleWarrior @JenBartonDesign I've been advised that it's best not to draw attention to their websites. It just gives them publicity, and they're not Bitcoiners like last time. They have no social media either. Found this with AI. I've reported them to PayPal. You never know. They might just do something about it. Hope you get your work taken down from scam sites, too.

Angel Camacho (@AngelCam7) reportedWanting to purchase stuff directly from the Glitch store is so hard... I mean, yeah, I could pay with PayPal, but why does it not have the Pay in 4 option? That would make things so much easier.

Ames Wick Kitty Sniper Chick🇺🇦 (@amessniperkitty) reported@Zsibo1 No, my buy me coffee got flagged for being suspicious last year. I only have PayPal lol I have to use a broken phone and cannot even get my lens replaced… all my resources are going to my units, I am fed up with having to buy prizes just so people donate.

Ace 3 boogie (@Ace3boog) reported@AskPayPal have called 10 times , provided proof the crypto went to the wallet the issue is still unresolved. Which is why I’m on x unfortunately
-
Lemon れもん (@lexiton69) reported@LilSpoot @DOMDOOET I would say to do a chargeback and not message them because there’s no point after you got ghosted but since you passed 180 day mark and if you did use PayPal, that’s really not much option at this point. Either they passed away or IRL issues.

Tarique Sha (@tariquesha1) reportedA London payments startup just raised $100 million. Primer was started in 2020 by 2 former PayPal executives who saw a messy problem hiding in plain sight: big online businesses were stitching together 5, 10, sometimes more payment systems and none of them talked to each other properly. So Primer built one layer that sits on top of all of them. now they process billions of transactions a year, capturing over 400 data points per transaction and their average client runs more than 95% of their payment volume through Primer. The $100M they just raised is going partly toward making Companion fully autonomous and partly toward cracking the US market,where they currently make about 20% of their revenue but want to reach 33% by 2028. London continues to dominate European fintech. UK startups pulled in $3.6 billion last year,about 41% of all European fintech investment. One city,41 percent of a continent. Primer is a good example of why.

Manish Kattel (@Manishkattel100) reported@AskPayPal I am having trouble logging in to my PayPal account. It says “We’re having trouble making sure it’s you”even with the correct email and password.I can’t receive the SMS, the phone support isn’t working, and without logging in I can’t contact support either. @AskPayPal
-
『 Ukiyo 』 🫧⭐️💧 (@UFOkiyo) reported@JunHakase I’ve sadly heard a lot of PayPal accounts for people in those countries are mysteriously being shut down or suspended recently.. and personally, I kind of don’t think it’s a coincidence. It seems to stop them from getting international clients.

-
Linda (@therapyworksBC) reported@rbernier22 @skullmandible Nooo. The same fees apply. Paypal is often the credit card version. You truly dont get the currency exchange issue. No one does it for free
-
JWJI III (@JWJI_III) reported@Prominent_Bryan As a Canadian living in America, I much prefer etransfer. I’ve never had a problem with it. I have had problems where business can’t get done because one person only does Venmo and the other only does PayPal. Anecdotal however
-
Walik Goshorn (@waliik1) reportedMy @PayPal account was hacked. The evidence that they have clearly shows that it was not me. Theu continue to give me problems. They denied my claim amd now want to re-open it so that I jave to wait again. Its always a PROBLEM !!
-
Fadehanmi Timilehin (@Timilehnsamson) reported@mypagacare I would like to kindly request a change of my registered phone number on my account. I need to update my old phone number so that I can link the new number to my PayPal account and access its functionality without issues.

theotherdave (@thepustule) reported@KASTxyz no problem. Paid my bar tab with Paypal debit instead and got FIVE PERCENT cash back. {wink}
-
me me (@me_sheer_) reportedImmediately they blocked my PayPal account I've had for years without an problems, to prevent me from making any money. You can make up their rabid fixation, these agency criminals have with me, their obsession with harming me repeatedly & ongoing other harms.

صالح الخضر (@syi0h) reported@AskPayPal I'm having trouble linking my card to my PayPal account
-
Binz | Noos Ambassador (@iambinz01) reported200K+ workflows/day across 5 verticals. Stripe, Circle, PayPal, Chainalysis already snapped in. The infrastructure exists. The question for builders is: why are you still writing custom integrations for problems that are already solved?
-

Feat-feet (@DargonPhil) reported@SamuelVieiraMe1 Mmm, I' not sure, what's the issue? Is Paypal the problem?
-
Cristi Cotovan (@graphicious) reportedEvery time I do my tax, I get reminded how incredibly idiotic the @PayPal reporting interface is... I'm actively moving everything away from sending money or receiving money with PayPal because it is just... absolutely terrible. I have no words. Not only are the reports convoluted, badly structured, filters are useless, filters don't work, they refuse to validate, they are inconsistent, date formats are sometimes US-formatted, other times UK-formatted. Oh, and they log you out of your session like after a few seconds... The classic case of: we built something but we're not actually using it ourselves. Who approved this? And yes, it's been stupid like this for years.

Chris (@theechriswhite) reported@jcpenney WORST experience trying to return order. Traveled twice to “nearest” store. First time the system shut down. Second time I was told I could only receive a gift card for full amount back even though I paid with part gift card and @PayPal. PayPal has been no help either.
-
🚷🔞Gato Taco (@Asihablounotaku) reported@AskPayPal To put it simply, due to a problem with my phone number, I can no longer access my previous account. How can I restore all my information to the new account?
