    So, someone just tried to make an unauthorized charge to @Expedia on my @PayPal account. I assure you that customer service at both is terrible. You cannot reach anyone to stop the transaction. Moved my $ from the bank account into another one so it's not getting stolen.

  • Montanasdreamer Kimberly (@Montanasdreamer) reported

    no I will not accept cash money I will not accept cashapp PayPal or anything down the line donations for humane society that's a different story but I'm not dying there are people in the world that need it more than me

  • MexZaibatsu93 MexZaibatsu 🍷 (@MexZaibatsu93) reported

    @InfernoOmni First time in its 17 year history that Facebook lost daily users. And this dragged down the entire Nasdaq index along after Paypal did the same yesterday 😬

  • JimmEmily090 Jimm Emily Ann StockWatch (@JimmEmily090) reported

    $AMZN if you aren't prepared for the huge potential risk down get out now. It's a gamble . Look at paypal and fb

  • JoeFrmLI Joe 🍒🎾🍷 (@JoeFrmLI) reported

    @JBoyd_TDA $PYPL SUCKS. They shut down a business account and wouldn’t say why and kept the money. Their customer service sucks. They talk in circles without answering questions. They need to be investigated by the attorney general for their business practices. @PayPal @AskPayPal

  • Roy2928 Roy (@Roy2928) reported

    @squawksquare People assume that consumer spending is terrible based on PayPal’s earnings forgot really quick the massive earnings Visa and Mastercard had. Add UPS earnings to that and we could see a short squeeze. Time will tell

    My new video about what’s going on with PayPal stock is premiering in 8 minutes on the TipRanks channel: PayPal Stock Down 54%: a Golden Opportunity or a Falling Knife?

  • octopus_teach Octopus (@octopus_teach) reported

    @heathen_godless @DirkSchwenk "inadvertent" PayPal "mafia" (Thiel mail one) are all for anarchy / burn it down. They are libertarians who have zero concern for other humans

  • DerpyWolf13 DerpyWolf (@DerpyWolf13) reported

    @JWolfskyART Yoo what the actual **** dude. That's completely horseshit. I've heard that PayPal had some issues but they closed it that fast? No inquiry or anything like that? Jesus man so sorry to hear that. I've commissioned ya and I loved it! I don't understand people sometimes dude

  • skumar13739 shravan kumar (@skumar13739) reported

    My paypal account unable login plz help me out @PayPal @PayPal

  • TheRealSHA256 TheRealSHA256🇺🇲 (@TheRealSHA256) reported

    Both meta and PayPal are down 26% and 25% respectively Now that's volatility! Buy #bitcoin instead

  • enuminous Matthew Chenoweth 'eNuminous' Wright, DAMMIT!!! (@enuminous) reported

    Disability discrimination exists when a banking or computer error happens and the PayPal representative chooses to shout down the reporting client when making inquires, after first disclosing the disability and asking to not be talked over or shouted at by the PayPal employee.

  • Futbollfanatic STOCK-A-DAMUS (@Futbollfanatic) reported

    @seedcounter @avivhadar Doubt it. If paypal transaction are down i cant see them making money. Also amazon almost always follows facebook earnings.

  • hibbybobbywobby aavviinniittsskkii (@hibbybobbywobby) reported

    @Independent This is misleading and misinformation, most tech stocks are down at the moment. Is Rogan to blame for huge stock dips for PayPal and Facebook?

  • Rai95615141 Rai (@Rai95615141) reported

    @CoinDeskMarkets Paypal is down 26% yesterday and Facebook is also down 26%. Btc dropped 5%. I think the investors who were in others will come to btc tomorrow.

  • gloverstweets Ashley (@gloverstweets) reported

    plus OIC can’t take credit card/paypal so for every €50 fee it’s a drive to the actual bank as I said to them, next time I’ll put € behind the bar, and just draw in down for each subsequent FOI/AIE appeal in fairness to OIC, appeal fees are often later refunded

  • Blackdudenumbe2 Blackdudenumber5 (@Blackdudenumbe2) reported

    what is happening at PayPal?? Are they closing down @PayPal @AskPayPal

  • abcdbandit2017 BW (@abcdbandit2017) reported

    @HodlMagoo @PeterSchiff Cramer has the same issue with PayPal

  • BackspinPromo Backspin Promotions (@BackspinPromo) reported

    @MineralDisk Is there really no way round paypal fees? does seem to be the biggest glitch in the BC system.

  • David43729141 Draco Mightyena (@David43729141) reported

    @JWolfskyART As someone outside the US, i have paid with Stripe before. Someone I commissioned also had PayPal issues, so used that. My experience is it's fast and easy to pay for a commission that way!

  • KB33844356 KB (@KB33844356) reported

    @ripster47 Nice charts, ripster. Could you do one for paypal too if its not much trouble please?

  • OhPuffz #FixApexLegends (@OhPuffz) reported

    @SkittlezJuice 2fa is always broken on paypal i swear

  • sopheegm 🐧 Sophfluffy🐧Store Open! (@sopheegm) reported

    @SkittlezJuice If you need two factor auth on (I recommend it) use the phone text and not the app option. Also if you can't add your bank info, apparently "this bank account is on too many PayPal accounts" is just a default error message and it absolutely may not be the actual issue 🙄🙄🙄 2/2

  • Blackdudenumbe2 Blackdudenumber5 (@Blackdudenumbe2) reported

    @alimashaya90 @PayPal @secandleco The f*cking app ended up blocking my account .are they closing down with our money? Heard their shares are falling

  • hloninalana Hloni (@hloninalana) reported

    @LesegoMahlako Hope it’s better but the issue is with PayPal so 😭

  • littlewyvern Jason Alt 👨‍💻 (@littlewyvern) reported

    Amazon is great and AWS is great, therefore I expect $AMZN to do well today after earnings. However, I still also expect the S&P to trade down to 3900 sometime soon-ish. Amazon getting killed today like PayPal and Facebook did on their earnings would be a good way to get there.

  • LeSebafox 🐺 Seba (@LeSebafox) reported

    @JWolfskyART Man i had a simmilar issue with paypal . People can be such pieces of **** dude. I hope you can get this fixed. If i can help you in any way please let me know dude.

  • la_soa_akane Camila Silva (@la_soa_akane) reported

    @AskPayPal I'm having trouble to resetting my password. I no longer have the phone number that appears on my account.

  • eldwitch Tryph ⚔️ (@eldwitch) reported

    @AskPayPal where is the Philippine department that the hotline keeps tossing me to? What email am I supposed to message? You keep asking me to find it via the help centre but I can't login in the first place!
