    Can’t believe how messed up @PayPal is, denied access to my account even after resetting my password and passing all security checks, same error every time ‘sorry, we couldn’t confirm it’s you’ and only solution is to call an expensive number, no reply via Facebook either 🤬

    @GernaderJake Huh. I now have a scam bot dedicated to me XD I don't use PayPal for reasons. I won't trouble you for any other payment method. At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you enjoy the mini game with your viewers!

  • imisaacsmith Isaac Smith (@imisaacsmith) reported

    @michelletandler Good question. Would the world be better without Tesla, PayPal, Spacex, etc? Or Amazon, Apple, Microsoft? Call me crazy but I say no. Millions of lives are better off because of MS Windows, for example. What laws have the founders broken anyway?

  • entrophen sugarbby (@entrophen) reported

    stop giving pathetic excuses/reason "my paypal got hacked" "paypal requires a fee" "I got scammed" Well not my problem, if it got hacked then how you using it now? or make another one duh? ,, the sender always pays the fee, never the receiver,, well you're a scam yourself

    @syun @Etsy The seller only accepted PayPal, which is a problem itself. I should have known better here. Lesson learned.

  • styledliving styledliving (@styledliving) reported

    @Buyee I cannot because an error occurs each time I try to make the purchase. My credit card account gets charged. Same with paypal and multiple credit cards. And no, it’s not because my credit cards are maxed out. Amex does not have a spending limit.

  • nabittae latte (@nabittae) reported

  • GlennBladon Glenn (@GlennBladon) reported

    @PrivilegedPlan1 I tried that. I put 1 dot in, 3 dots in and also the first line of my address. All with PayPal and Google Pay. Just get that same error every time.
