    @ashleylynch This actually is an old trick and goes against eBay’s standards. It caused a lot of lawsuits and bad press for eBay in the 90s, so that guy should have no problem getting ebay/PayPal to refund his money.

    @PropagandhiPod how does this currency exchange work, you know that? i just have a € account ... what do I put in the drop down? what exchange rate do take into account? and better send € and exchange at your end or vice versa? you know how that works, not a Paypal expert I fear

  • bukiyos mikki🧋 (@bukiyos) reported

    @ReducedTo21 As what ginger said yes using paypal invoices is good for TOS to protect you in case the commissioner is one of those that will get angry and try to dispute a claim on you. How i generally do it is either having a small down payment up front before starting the comm (cont)

  • shopshop0 shopshopshop (@shopshop0) reported

    @AskPayPal I’ve issue with my Business Account and I’ve been calmly trying to contact customer service through both Twitter DM and PayPal Message Center since Sunday, however no one has acknowledged my existence yet. Is everything okay at the PayPal HQ?

    // admin rambles : Reasons why I hate paypal : the day I turned 18 I tried to validate my account and they then restricted it so I wouldn't be able to use it at all, and they still refuse to let me use my ACC or overturn the issue. **** you paypal, let me pay for my ****!!

  • jessicarachelpr sandakalum jessica (@jessicarachelpr) reported

    @woolhatwoman @PoundShopOwen @suewill63 I’m having the same problem. My PayPal says ask him. So I did. He replied asking me to request via PayPal.... but there’s no option to...

  • VarunNOTriego varun (@VarunNOTriego) reported

    @piccmeeprizes I do have a paypal but most of the people in my country are not used to it,they dont find it safe as dere are many frauds already going on by digital money, so people love taking cryptos because its easy to take & it always has less issues unlike strict rules of paypal

  • rachelc09205148 rachel cole (@rachelc09205148) reported

    Please respond with details of when my order will be despatched tomorrow or I will raise a PayPal dispute for the cancellation. I came to you guys as I had issues with your rival Sports direct, and I’m having the same issues here. It’s a disgrace

  • DevLikesTurtles Devs (@DevLikesTurtles) reported

    @skywithlennon @BanquetRecords @yungblud A few people are but it's the Bank or card. I've bought through banquet probably nearly 100 times and so far only 2 times had card issues. Was my banks fault they weren't letting it process. If name doesn't match or if address don't match could be a reason. Pay with paypal :)

  • Goreshx Goresh (@Goreshx) reported

    @SillyNolar @AskPayPal Love getting redirected to the message center so that the issue can continue NOT getting resolved. Great customer service.

  • CosmicKosmo ✨🎄 Emily 🎄✨ (@CosmicKosmo) reported

    @TrilbeeReviews not to diminish how shady a lot of this is, but that's a common paypal glitch. Usually the money is refunded within 24 hours. I had it happen on Big Finish's website a few weeks ago

  • frogykis AKARU 🌱 KIZETSU LIVE (@frogykis) reported

    okay so paypal fixed my account and approved it which is cool, but apparently i cant fix my holds, only the people i bought from can, so anyone who’s donated pls dm me or comment so i can either refund or fix this!

  • TanoroZ Tanoro (@TanoroZ) reported

    @faelions Huh? I e-mailed Andie this afternoon about problem with a Paypal receipt I got after donating to her stream. I used the address on the receipt. If I'm the one that rattled you, that was not my intention. :(

  • GrimOgreLabs Zev (they/them) (@GrimOgreLabs) reported

    Today I'm horribly enervated. Besides breathing problems, I'm also dealing with food insecurity again and was forced to use delayed payment, which will most likely lead to another 30€ of fees on my PayPal and bank.

  • Wolfwalker23 O Ross (@Wolfwalker23) reported

    @tonyhawk hey brother I tried to purchase a photo 2 times. The paypal glitch cancelled me again. There is nothing more That would inspire me more than that photo. What can a super fan do??

  • marcellagflower Marcella Flowers (@marcellagflower) reported

    @Rex_Hdez @PhilosophyTube His income is largely paid by Patreon and one time donations through PayPal. With how exclusive the partner program has become, ad revenue is not as lucrative as it used to be. This feels like you're making an issue out of nothing.
