WinterBerry (F.Ibe), Esq.™️ (@ButterBabe__) reported@DwinTheStoic I have always known Uber to be a terrible seevice, terrible consumer app, terrible company. They are no different from likes of PayPal. Uber is terrible normally and I say this as someone who have patronised them in major countries.

DingusCola SLOTS CLEARED (@fackinbuddy) reported@___EEF_ There are apparently people on Reddit as recent as 4 days ago having the exact same issue on me and the working theory that it’s due to paypal’s ai security. This could validate for a genuine law suit

Edward The Loudmouth (@EDMaumbauer) reported@GretchenPSmith Gretchen, yeah, you do... that is how Paypal operates, same with X, FB, Insta, Visa, Mastercard, Your bank... we used to simply call them server farms. Data Centers are as necessary for the world to operate today as is oil. Get rid of them, the world STOPS DEAD

-
Moshe Klein (@KleinMoshe) reported@PayPal I have a problem with my account where payments I send get reversed every couple of days for absolutely zero reason. Frustrating isn’t the word. And speaking to overseas CSR is getting absolutely nowhere.
-
A.M. (@steelballrunner) reportedCrap, do I HAVE to submit some kind of photo ID to get my new Stripe/Kofi account to work? I said no to that for two whole years and my old Paypal account got shut down last week.

Laura M. (@Vero_barcalover) reported@AskPayPal I cannot log in to my account. It is asking me to reset the password. I'm traveling, so I can't text, but I can email, and I never get the email. I tried the security question, and I get "There is a problem, try later." I cannot even contact you!!!

Cadillac Ceryss #smokefleet #nafo (@SerlyFilya) reported@Mutualaidboost_ URGENT!!! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. EVEN $1-2 ADDS UP!! WE ARE SO DESPERATE AND AT THE MERCY OF KIND GENEROUS PEOPLE! PLEASE HELP US GET SOME GOOD FOOD AND TOILETRIES! I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

Briteworx👻👽 (@briteworx_arts) reportednot to mention that 5-7$ gets immediately eaten by Ko-fi and PayPal fees on top of taxes and stuff I'm not working for pennies so you can still act ungrateful as hell
-
Mr Hankey (@hivanchi) reported@paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.
-
Steven Hughes Transport Videos (@StevenHughes129) reported@bran_di98 @DavidJa51216245 @OrevaZSN A lot of it is down to the processor. Your bank is only one part of the chain. Visa/Mastercard/PayPal/Square etc all form part of the transaction chain. While money moves from your available balance instantly when you process a transaction, it usually shows as "pending". 1/2
-
Laura M. (@Vero_barcalover) reported@AskPayPal I’m traveling and I cannot access my account! I’ve been asked to reset my password but the email with the code never reaches. Phone number is not working. Security question get a “there was a problem, try later”. It’s been 48 hours. Help!

Kapt'n Krunch 🛠️⚓ (@KaptainKrunch97) reportedif you’re an artist that takes 6+ months on a triple digit priced commission, we don’t issue chargebacks around here this is 2026, your PayPal got your government name and address on it, we are outside your house buddy
-
WELLIKAT (@LightOutAfterIt) reported@FatherAltman Hi Father, Paypal throws an error saying your webmaster needs do/fix something. I used CC instead, but normally always use Paypal for online purchases. Looking forward to the book!

Suyash Verma (@suyashverma) reported@PeterDiamandis Very few people know that Elon had funded SpaceX largely with his own money from the PayPal sale. He invested about 100 million dollars of personal fortune into the company. After three Falcon 1 failures cash was nearly gone. The team assembled one last rocket from leftover parts. That fourth flight on September 28, 2008 had to succeed or SpaceX would have shut down.
