  • SteveCinq Steven Cinquegrana (@SteveCinq) reported

    @PayPal PayPal, people really, really hate you. If you start listening and fix things, you might not go the way of Yahoo!, which didn't listen and disappeared without a trace.

  • Crybersole Fucking Jesus (@Crybersole) reported

    ******* FIX YOUR **** @AskPayPal YOU PIECES OF ****

  • scottbolinger Scott Bolinger (@scottbolinger) reported

    @pmgarman I think the big draw for PayPal is people who don’t have US banks or credit cards. I’m not sure this solves that problem.

  • Distronical Distronical (@Distronical) reported

    @greg_doucette I just want to know how you got your PayPal to screen shot? Mine always gives me an error and says for protection it won't let me screen shot while the app is open.

  • JeffAtam Jeff 🇨🇦 (@JeffAtam) reported

    @grickle Anyway that you could put one aside for me? I'm having problems with PayPal and can't get in.

  • SCP_20202 SCP 20202 🕯️ (@SCP_20202) reported

    @PayPal once again proving that they're absolutely garbage by randomly marking a transaction I need to pay as "risky" for absolutely no reason. I totally didn't pay basically the same invoice in October without any issues at all, nope.🙄

  • needyshells shells (@needyshells) reported

    yall i learned in the previous times buying the signed cds that there’s always issues making payments. if you click express checkout with apple pay or paypal theres never an issues. that’s helpful information just in case they restock

  • AbrahamLiad Liad Abraham (@AbrahamLiad) reported

    @dspreadbury @doricoofficial Thanks for all the amazing help. I'm downloading now, hope there isn't a problem as I tried to use my download access code on my download assistant and it didn't work. Could it be a problem if I purchased with a different email that's on my launcher? I had to because of PayPal

  • _Missy13 Mediocre Title 🐈 (@_Missy13) reported

    Haven’t been able to work in over a week because of possible Covid & new heart issues. Owe over $500 in bills Please, if you can help me I will be so so grateful! I have proofreading experience & a PayPal if you can donate.

  • FrankMcG Frank McGovern (@FrankMcG) reported

    How often do you check your PayPal automatic payment connections? Good to do an annual check on those to ensure those are all connections you still want. Login to PayPal and go to Settings > Payments > Manage Automatic Payments.

  • Akvvo akuvo (@Akvvo) reported

    @R31TZV2 i can help fix your miscalculation, ill dm my paypal

  • Struggl66246911 An American (@Struggl66246911) reported

    @4Kenosha They should fix that, it looks fake. I wonder if they got the 1.7 million back from PayPal yet. Have you heard anything about that?

  • bobmcallister4 bob mcallister (@bobmcallister4) reported

    @scotmacscotbot @IDeserveFreedom @applianceoffers I always use paypal. Always got new goods or my money back on the few occassions i've had to go down that route.

  • chimpy24 Cristin (@chimpy24) reported

    @thetownsman @Messyah8 Paypal is the key and saved me. Have it set up and ready to go. Check out with Paypal and process your payment outside of their site. You can get there and check out before it goes down and OOS.

  • Shadowhaxor I'll trade my Xbox Series X for an RTX 3080!🎮 (@Shadowhaxor) reported

    Geez, @PayPal @AskPayPal why is your customer support so terrible. You can't contact you directly and if you call, your automated system basically ushers you off the line. This is pathetic and when you're dealing with disputes over $100+ I want to talk to someone.

  • ItsStefi_ 🎄Sleigh my name (@ItsStefi_) reported

    @thejenlife Everyone has been good about refunding & PayPal didn't even have a card attached to it anymore so it's been fine but it's been a lot of instances. I've changed my passwords everywhere & my email once a week since the first issue bc my google has all my cards attached for GPay.

  • imagineeagrande sam ❀ (@imagineeagrande) reported

    @obviouslysav YES. i put my paypal info in and then it just completely shut down i hate it here

  • jayceonnyg Jayceon Johnson (@jayceonnyg) reported

    @AtHomeWithTia PayPal are clamping down on selling vaping products several companies have had their accounts suspended with any money in the account being held for 180 days

  • pressleyfrevert Pressley (Baird) Frevert (@pressleyfrevert) reported

    @AskPayPal thanks. Live Chat isn't helping, and when I call, I'm told my issue can't be resolved over the phone. is there another way to fix the issue?

  • hellogilly gilly (@hellogilly) reported

    @depop hi how do i get invited to 'Depop payments'? I no longer have paypal and I can't find a place to enter my bank details so that I can get paid when my items sell... Right now it says 'error occurred' when people who have my items in their basket try to proceed onto payment

  • vampsnvrhurtu joe (@vampsnvrhurtu) reported

    @fiveyearwinterx I went to go buy a card and it sold out when I was on PayPal smdh I’m too slow

  • imgoingtheretoo I'm going everywhere (@imgoingtheretoo) reported

    @bathanbody 1/2 most frustrating online shopping experience of this year. Started out with 12 lovely candles in cart, hit paypal to checkout with 1 click. error message. something is now sold out. cart doesn't show which item is sold out. click on individual items....
