    @ilyREAPER This is why for online purchases I specifically use PayPal. I have a better chance of getting money back with that then through a regular bank. Amazon can be quite difficult I've had issues in the past.

    @AskPS_UK Hello, I am currently experiencing issues with subscribing to PS Plus. I cannot connect my paypal account to my psn account. Is there a way to resolve this or maybe use my current wallet funds to subscribe? It is for 1 month.

    @kelly_ques Two days before pay day, driving up to a gas tank and looking down at my phone and seeing a @PayPal notification that someone sent 100.00. 💙👨‍👩‍👦🙏🏻🌝💶

    @WilCarter10 @NotAlexSheppard @queenlyc It goes WAY beyond Twitter. Canada just froze bank accounts for protesters. Paypal and others have frozen accounts for dissenters. Amazon shuts off web hosting overnight. There is an organized effort to shut down dissent that includes Twitter but is much more than just Twitter.

    I have a terrible caffeine headache from 4 days without it. If anyone could literally help me get a coffee or a soda, I’d be so thankful. I genuinely have $0 in my account lol paypal: xouija

  • RussCastella Russ Castella (@RussCastella) reported

    @nexta_tv Do they set these days in the future thinking “if Ukraine falls, then we might as well just leave the wallets operational” ???? PayPal should just give 24 hours notice and shut them all down.

  • SoNCSU95 Sophie (@SoNCSU95) reported

    @noahjnelson @MetaQuestHelp @MetaQuestVR It’s not just PayPal. I have a credit card linked and got notice that a subscription payment could not be processed yesterday. Oculus is giving me two days. I’m on day 3. I hope Meta can solve this issue today!

    Nobody: PayPal: *locks your account* I don’t even use PayPal so the fact that they always randomly coming up with a problem is annoying as ****. Delete my account already! I’m begging.

    I should have never gotten that damn PayPal credit card. OMG the balance. Sigh. Going to take a while to pay down. I can do it, but ****!

    @mini_polilla More like 60 seconds! It was in my basket, I was at the checkout, I paid, then got a message - there is a problem with your paypal! The problem was that is was out of stock!

    These people are just people who solved great problems in different markets, industries and niches. Elon Musk thought of creating a transaction system = Paypal and that's where his success began Jeff Bezos connected Seller and Buyer = Amazon

    @coolgirlkarmen How much money in your paypal. Please tell me I will solve your problem.

  • NesWrites Pilk Scientist (@NesWrites) reported

    @larry_hoodie @fatbrogurt Shutting down Paypal and McDonald's doesn't harm their war effort, just the people. It's cruelty. Hell, arguably keeping things like ebay running could *help* hinder the war effort, by supporting corruption and grift, letting their army sell supplies online. Which was happening.

    Somehow the 100 Thieves drop got botched on my end now I’m sad literally had like 4 really cool shirts in my cart and checkout on PayPal was going so slow. 😔 I pray they do a restock on these one day, AoT is my favorite anime by far @100Thieves @Nadeshot #100TxAoT
