    // Spider , tarantula Made some adopts inspired by @GlitchSixxle Commissions are coming in really slow and i really need to save up for summer so ill make a batch each week if possible. Each are 10 euros to claim! First come first serve! I take payment via paypal only.

  • VanEppsAuthor Eric VanEpps (@VanEppsAuthor) reported

    @sweetandzesty I had to create a PayPal account. No other way to do it. Kept getting error screens otherwise. Decided I wasn't going to give up and it says I am registered. Will see what happens next.

  • Aeon_Blu_AD Aeon but horny 🔞 (@Aeon_Blu_AD) reported

    @AltCocoa I believe that's call the infinite money glitch irl. I'm sure at some point PayPal will act and recover the costs but if you've gotten away with free money go you. Just don't push it.

  • nkneuper Nicholas Kneuper (@nkneuper) reported

    Placed an order with Golf Galaxy. Used PayPal, of course defaults to wrong shipping address. Live chat customer support immediately after order to fix shipping address. Confirm next day shipping is updated. Get tracking today.... Going to wrong address. Sooooo frustrating.

  • kushalbyatnal Kushal Byatnal (@kushalbyatnal) reported

    now, back to Pay! Creators only have 3 options for sending & receiving payments today (PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App). PayPal - charges a 2.9% fee, clunky UX Venmo / Cash App - slow (ACH), unprofessional, and leads to tax headaches

  • gramatica_y Gramática y Traducciones (@gramatica_y) reported

    Hi, I'm Miguel Antonio and I solve grammar errors and translate up to 40 pages of a book in your Word documents and in Spanish and English prices: 5 to 10 dollars or your currency media: paypal, movii, daviplata,

  • sweetandzesty Cute Pun Name (@sweetandzesty) reported

    @VanEppsAuthor I agree it is a terrible pain in the butt unless you already have a PayPal account. I hope it worked!

  • AndrewDresden Andrew Dresden (@AndrewDresden) reported

    Mind you, @PayPal never mentioned this in any other contact, yet somehow it's a big known issue in their system? Mhmm🙄

  • WonDodobebe Kaimona 🌟 WENEEBEBE (@WonDodobebe) reported

    Gggrrrrre the frustration... I trying so hard to find work online but there's ALWAYS a problem.. I can't use PayPal because of my country of residence, I don't have a functional laptop, Internet connection isn't fast enough GAAAAAAH I swear I'm giving my best and it's not enough

  • hijadecano d. (@hijadecano) reported

    And I told my Dad, beforehand not to send money, least of all, thru paypal. He is a stubborn Puerto Rican man but that’s not the issue. She’s had that money for two weeks, knowing it’s not hers. Honestly don’t know why I am giving her the weekend. She’s had plenty time.

  • Lambertdudecor Lambert Corsi (@Lambertdudecor) reported

    @AskPayPal hello, I have big problems with my paypal account, I vant pay with it anymore and I dont understand whats wrong. Can you help please ?

  • sweetgeorge48 Sweet George, Willie & Tiffany (@sweetgeorge48) reported

    Oops we just refunded some money from my PayPal to some people cuz it said they had requested a refund but then we see other people that I'm sure not requesting refunds but the same thing so I think it's a glitch but anyway we refunded $150 because we wanted to make sure😽

  • Nivi_Sid Nivi (@Nivi_Sid) reported

    @i_sreenivas @CilanDance Mine went to PayPal and I had to login. Tght I could try it later.

  • BenTucker92 Ben Tucker (@BenTucker92) reported

    @Ryanair is your website down? I’m trying to change some flights but it keeps saying the payment was not successfully authorised. Tried various cards and PayPal and getting the same message. Please advise what to do

  • EuropaMaddie maddie 🌟 (she/her) (@EuropaMaddie) reported

    so it appears I have been scammed on facebook marketplace trying to buy a second hand camera 🥺 I’m trying to get the money back but me being dumb, I didn’t use PayPal (been having issues with my account) so I did it as a bank transfer. don’t do that kids

  • AndrewDresden Andrew Dresden (@AndrewDresden) reported

    So @paypal's new excuse, that sounds a LOT like a lie and is so far unverifiable, is some "issue" on their end in their debit card systems. Yet there was NO notification, NO press release, nothing. Yeah, sorry, but nothing goes unreported when they're this big of a problem.

  • SAVVY_LOCO SAVVY LOCO (@SAVVY_LOCO) reported

    @playskyclimbers hey i have a rather unique problem i backed you guys and i forgot to sign in and i have my paypal reciept and confirmation email but have no idea how im going to get my physical copy and such ... please help?

  • puxanphoto Puxan (@puxanphoto) reported

    Been trying to update KYC on @coinbase account for months now. Terrible customer service, automatic responses. Should I take my business to @gemini ? @PayPal Might be a better experience!

  • AndrewDresden Andrew Dresden (@AndrewDresden) reported

    @PayPal has spent the last multiple days trying to screw my wife out of $150 she never spent nor authorized. Even after they admitted multiple times was an error in their system.

  • Spaghetti42069 Spaghetti 💛🦌 (@Spaghetti42069) reported

    Headshot/Icon $6 USD Bust - $12 USD Full body Chibi - $12 USD -ToS- - Any commissions are for personal use only. - I have the right to turn down any commission for my own comfort. - Payment will be done through PayPal or Ko-fi.

  • GayVinJackal Vinchenzo The Jackal (@GayVinJackal) reported

    @TheWereRen @PIBBLEKING Their Paypal was shut down months ago because they had a history of doing this. I only learned about her history after commissioning her.

  • cameramayn osama 🇵🇸 (@cameramayn) reported

  • rudytgx Rudy Lacosse (@rudytgx) reported

    @AskPayPal the referral service on the website is not working

  • footytube 💜 Footyshube (@footytube) reported

    @n2theForest @BillyM2k Is he pumping or just being honest about how he feels about the tech? I guess doge represents what he and others envisioned PayPal might have become were it not for incumbents slowing down innovation.

  • TradesTrey Trey’s Trades (@TradesTrey) reported

    YouTube paycheck just hit my PayPal! Should hit my bank account on Monday or so - meaning that I'll be doubling down my position sometime between Monday and Tuesday if all goes well! Video and/or livestream will obviously follow for it

  • iskep Laces Out Ⓥ (@iskep) reported

    @SOLELINKS Had tons of processing errors but I finally was able to grab the LA gray with PayPal

  • AndrewDresden Andrew Dresden (@AndrewDresden) reported

    @PayPal has spent the last multiple days trying to screw my wife out of $150 she never spent nor surprised. Even after they admitted multiple times was an error in their system.

  • ElijahP77289647 Elijah Price (@ElijahP77289647) reported

    @Spotify I'm trying to update my payment info and change my country from Switzerland -> USA. After clicking USA from the list, there are no payment options as there were before (Visa/Master, PayPal) and I cannot advance. How can I fix this?

  • max_tarantik Max Tarantik (@max_tarantik) reported

    @Pabu01 @robindchnt I still don't understand why this is such a problem in the USA. But I think Paypal wouldn't exist, if they payed their bills via banktransfer like in germany.

  • PrekopD Prekop David (@PrekopD) reported

    @AskPayPal hello Paypal, i have a problem please fix problem me thanks.
