    AmEx supposedly decided to stop processing payments through my PayPal account. PP decided to not only decline to tell me, but also decided it wasn't their problem, and closed the ticket so I couldn't comment further. I'll be taking my (considerable) online business to Square!

    @askdepop I’m trying to print the shipping label for an order but it’s telling me that my PayPal account is not verified. But it is, I just got off the phone with someone from PayPal and they are telling me that my account is verified. Can you please help@me resolve this issue?

  • PhemProf Ken Adams (@PhemProf) reported

    @Frog__Princess @SolarCentre They won’t reply to mine either. PayPal are giving me a refund. This company must have changed hands, it’s terrible for customer services now. What a shame. And careful, they block anyone giving negative feedback on social media - you watch!

  • Biresu01 Biresu (@Biresu01) reported

    @tinastokyodiary I used to use PayPal a while ago. But if you have more trouble ask someone with a JP CC and just give them the money, maybe?

  • simon_hartnell Simon Hartnell (@simon_hartnell) reported

    @AskPayPal When i try to login my otp phone number is incorrect. What can I do? Thanks

  • RealLouisMiles Louis Miles (@RealLouisMiles) reported

    @AskPayPal I can't send a payment (via F&F payment) on one of my cards because of PSD2 regulations (PayPal says payment declined and Card Issuer says it's because need to approve via app but never get's that far). Is this a widespread issue? Any advice appreciated.

  • Josh_MovesYa Josh (@Josh_MovesYa) reported

    @sincerelymayhem @GameStop I had no problem with securing one at all. I waited there paitently until the status changed from "out of stock" then was able to add to cart and paid with PayPal not even a hiccup or long loading. I hate to hear others had a hard time and wish all good luck.

    🦤 Payments are made by my paypal 🦤 Payments are made after I show you the sketch 🦤 In case of a refund, I will have no problem giving it, as long as it is justified

  • Jerminate Jeremy (@Jerminate) reported

    Pretty irritating that @CheckOutMyCards takes 4+ business days to process a paypal cashout. They're so quick to remove money from your account for fees but so slow to pay you out. #stillabetteroptionthanebay

  • Maximus2wheels North57 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇦 (@Maximus2wheels) reported

    Well it appears @MetaQuestVR formerly Oculus VR have a big issue. Account seems to have gone, even my paypal billing details got cancelled. According to internet this is not an isolated incident. I hope they get it sorted, folk will lose a fair bit of £$ in apps & games if not.

  • Riifuneko LEAF (Shop closed) (@Riifuneko) reported

    @Hexed_Soul Yes. So the situation is like this : We, people who using paypal payments going to many government organization which working about money, bank, transferring etc. then they meeting and tell Paypal it is okay for us to do and it isn't against laws. Language barrier made trouble.

  • WHORECAT I DON’T CARE IF YOU'RE A CLEAN WHITE MALE (@WHORECAT) reported

    @sleepyh00ker Oh yeah, I forget only PayPal is available internationally. Definitely Amazon card then. But CashApp is easier to set up than PayPal, so I don’t know what their problem is. Honestly, its just usually an excuse.

  • DizoMiguel Miguel Dizo (@DizoMiguel) reported

    Can't deal with PayPal anymore. So many others have the same problem with no results, so there's no point now. Great job! Thanks for nothing!

  • spruebox Raven (@spruebox) reported

    @GreenManGaming how come you ask for issue date and number on cards? I've never seen that asked and my sister doesn't remember because of having to move suddenly and other turmoil. We just ended up using Paypal.

  • Maximus2wheels North57 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🇺🇦 (@Maximus2wheels) reported

    @PetrTechST1 Mine appears to have gone too, apparently they have a 'known issue' they are working on. even my billing through paypal cancelled which suggests the account got wiped. Interesting to see how they deal with ppls financial loss of software

  • DarkChaosWyvern Biomechdragon (@DarkChaosWyvern) reported

    Is anybody else having problems with PayPal? 🤨🤔😐
