    @LilNasX @CashApp **** I ONLY HAVE PAYPAL MY CASHAPP IS BROKEN

  • Zipolite_Trader ZipoliteTrader (@Zipolite_Trader) reported

    @AskPayPal Thanks but no spin please, your exchange rate was not the problem here, lack of disclosure was. The bait and switch of said XE rate displayed on @Booking and @Paypal was. And your CONTINUE button when you clearly mean CONFIRM. Thanks Again

    @faniie86 I don't understand about PayPal cuz I have never use PayPal but you right ppl need be careful when they want to buy with PayPal maybe better to ask first or use other payment cuz I saw some international fans have no problems with their order from EASTICE

    Connection to @Medium is also being broken between loading stories & also the @AskPayPal payment gateway; @googledevs password was not being recognized possibly changed after being remotely intercepted; connection was interrupted 3 times whilst posting this thread.

  • AriDavidPaul Ari Paul ⛓️ (@AriDavidPaul) reported

    @itsLIRAN The issue is that it’s what users want (at least so far.) People are happily using twitter over mastodon, Visa and PayPal over LN or Monero, most people (even in China) don’t bother with a VPN. We message with gmail and WhatsApp more than Signal. Etc.

  • LB74854541 DO NOT USE PAYPAL! (@LB74854541) reported

    @JerryHa05057186 @alwebbj Honestly....I loved using PayPal! Problem with PayPal/Synchrony Bank is they will NEVER give you money back..your fault or theirs! You would not believe the story. I WILL get my money returned!

  • DarkEpiphany85 DarkEpiphany85 (@DarkEpiphany85) reported

    They Claim to be entering into Crypto Payments but is using a **** altcoin called SIMP to tokenize and profit further from your work. I use Venmo as a bank, and then they suggested using Paypal. I receive Payments from multiple Platforms on Venmo with zero issues.

    @DLEasy_Support can you help me? I bought the tweak in 2020 and i had a problem so i had to restore my phone, now i cant download it again.. i have my paypal payment receipt it seems like i havent bought or linked my device

  • mikecane Mike Cane - vaxxed, always masked (@mikecane) reported

    @NathanTankus I was reminded anew yesterday that money in PayPal is not FDIC-insured and a glitch can cost you all of your "deposit."

  • Brinkster0x OnTheBrink 🦇🔊🤑 (@Brinkster0x) reported

    Dealing with @AskPayPal support to resolve an issue with my account. (if you like insanity, try it). To tell me what page I need to go to they give instructions like... click on the bell icon, then find blah etc, rather than sending me a link. It's like 1992 all over again. 🤦

  • SimonAndrewx Simon Andrew (@SimonAndrewx) reported

    @MissDestructo Tried to donate, there's a processing issue so if you message me your PayPal I can do it that way and no one misses out. ♥♥♥♥

    @nxcare I've just received a unexpected PayPal refund for my journey on 24th September. I have had no communication. Is this an error? Can I DM the details?

  • corruptvfx rupt (@corruptvfx) reported

  • DrewyH Andrew Hamilton (@DrewyH) reported

    @AskPayPal Terrible service months fighting to get a 4000 pound refund for money fraudulently taken from bank no one answers

  • StratusNova Stratus (@StratusNova) reported

    @twitchnuhdge @discord can you at least freeze my friends account? They've gotten multiple attempts to continue the hacking wave. We've shut them down as best we can but they've drained her paypal entirely now. Would be cool if they didn't have access to our server owner's account.

  • mirkatmadonna goddexx demon kat (@mirkatmadonna) reported

    Whoa, my paypal is empty boys. FIX IT.

  • tubbygyu patpat 🥟 (@tubbygyu) reported

    @dksgyusolo I saw other people on twitter having the same problem so I’m gonna wait till tmr to see if it’s just the processing time on the website’s end. If there’s still no ticket tmr then imma dispute it in PayPal 🙃

  • Winter_Kisses28 Jimin’s Serendipity (SEEING ATEEZ AND BTSx2!!!) (@Winter_Kisses28) reported

    @cokodive Are you having issues with PayPal? I am trying to make a purchase and the page is just spinning. And I can’t access my purchases using your app.

  • hermesbabie Hermes, Babie! 🦋 (@hermesbabie) reported

    @barksport The only slight issue is that my parents are able to see where I make purchases (because stalking your 20 year olds bank account is cool), whereas I’m in the clear if they just see a purchase at Amazon. However I am free and cool with my Venmo and PayPal?

  • skimcheese skimcheese 💕 (@skimcheese) reported

    @gyufIower Same issue here. PayPal is so stupid. If a payment is pending then they should give you the option of cancelling. Who has time to wait for them to approve the transaction??!! So now we have to dispute it or what?

  • Li0n_07 Lion. (@Li0n_07) reported

    @AskPayPal 2fa not working, what's up?

  • formulapetra petra🤍 (@formulapetra) reported

    Is it a problem that I made a PayPal when I’m 16 and wrote that I was born in 2003? or that doesn’t really matter?

  • Crackedgamingwz Cracked Gaming - Warzone Tournaments (@Crackedgamingwz) reported

    @Sulitify This is pretty slanderous to be honest. We've explained to people we have had a few issues the last week or two regarding PayPal/Banking issues which we are working hard to sort. But every single person who has entered our tournaments have been paid in full.. 1/2
