  • z23ash Ima Gh0stbuster (@z23ash) reported

    @ShpockUK and @Parcel2Go are terrible. Was unable to print my label and now I cant get back and see it. No email has been sent with it on yet they have taken my money for it via paypal. Joke of a service

  • Phantom_McBane PhantomBane (@Phantom_McBane) reported

    I don't understand PayPal Tried adding balance but gave me an error every time but for some reason it's totally cool to just purchase things because it can just automatically get stuff from my bank?? I feel like something's ****** up but it works but it doesn't i am confusion

  • awpersonal Andrew Wilson (@awpersonal) reported

    @scotmacscotbot @margaretanntodd PayPal should refund you then, what an absolute shower. If memory serves, it took more than one phone call to resolve my issue, the first person I spoke to was useless and no help whatsoever. The second person was great.

  • brittanyhill_15 Britt Britt 🦋 (@brittanyhill_15) reported

    @AskPayPal it won’t let me link my bank account and is holding my funds because of it. I’ve been trying to reach out for help for days now without any type of response. Single-handedly the worst company I have ever dealt with. How is a company so big, THAT TERRIBLE?!?!

  • ImFrosty____ ImFrosti (@ImFrosty____) reported

    on second thought i might just get i taken away in 60 days because my paypal is broken on ps4 LOL

  • emmamorganphoto Emma Morgan (@emmamorganphoto) reported

    @joninlewisham @HouseofHelpers Good luck with getting a response 10 days in, I’m getting no where they have £360 refund and I’ve heard every excuse going why they can’t transfer my money back. Apparently there’s a problem with PayPal except PayPal pick up the phones and deal with customers properly it’s a lie

  • fairyroseseeds ashtyn is weird! ♡ .*・。゚ (@fairyroseseeds) reported

    a sugar momma hit me up in the dms and idk if it was real we had some convros and it wasnt a bot but wasnt down bc kept saying she only could do it if she had my bank info to “put me on her payroll” and idk im not doing that unless its just via paypal or cashapp

  • julesforest JET~7 (@julesforest) reported

    @Veganfunder @BTWsanctuary PayPal will never admit responsibility. Never. I hope you don't need to complain to them with lawyers, they will shut you down with bigger lawyers to keep their brand name.

  • stueyg87 Stu G (@stueyg87) reported

    @cdkeyscom are there any issues with your checkout at the moment? Tried 2 different cards and both transactions have failed despite having funds at my end. Noticed there was no longer an option to pay by PayPal too, is that no longer available as an option?

  • jacobabrams2 Jake abrams (@jacobabrams2) reported

    @AskPayPal It won’t let me transfer money from my paypal to my bank account. The only option it gave me that worked was to mail a check. My banking information was provided but your system is not working. Can you please transfer this money in my account ?

  • dab1gg00ch Dab1gg00ch (@dab1gg00ch) reported

    @AskPayPal Hi. I wanted to know how long we need to wait to after we get the message that says: "It looks like you've tried too many times. Try again later, or reset your password." I spoke to someone from paypal and they told me they unlocked my account. Still not working

    @OutlierCanada I'm half expecting Paypal to shut me down because of calling the dollar "***** fiat". (Please don't!)

  • im_fully_alive1 Abraham (@im_fully_alive1) reported

    @MTGSecretLair I just got my confirmation after having the PayPal .50 cent issue about being charged later but when I look at the total it's charging me 10 dollars more than what the total was.

  • emmamorganphoto Emma Morgan (@emmamorganphoto) reported

    @HouseofHelpers @houseoffraser 10 days, I’m getting no where you have my £360 refund. I’ve heard every excuse going why you can’t transfer my money. Apparently there’s a problem with PayPal except PayPal pick up the phones and deal with customers properly, guess what it’s a lie!

  • DrHeartlock 𝙳𝚘𝚌𝚝𝚘𝚛 𝙷𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝𝚕𝚘𝚌𝚔 🧸 (@DrHeartlock) reported

    Peepos, im not being lazy or an ******* for not working on comms atm ;; Ever since Paypal ****** me over, i havent been able to pay for my things including CSP licence and i was forced to get money some other way asap. (I am just a mom of two with no job and living from my art.)

    @rep0xx No, you shouldn't have to fill that information in if you're using PayPal. Please DM us if you're still having trouble.

  • julesforest JET~7 (@julesforest) reported

    @Veganfunder @BTWsanctuary PayPal. It was part of the identity theft from 18 years ago. That is exactly why I do the cash cards. Why doesn't Stripe accept cards purchased with real money? PayPal let my business down and refused to take responsibility.

  • Skant_01 TheTrueJEDI (@Skant_01) reported

    @DNPthree Fingers crossed 🤞🤞 Don't have cashapp..can I send crypto address or paypal plz.. Cashapp not working in my country..

  • RaivenTheTank RaivenTheTank (@RaivenTheTank) reported

    I have still not been able to get in contact with Paypal to fix my account. The donations you have been doing is soon coming back to you (because I can't claim them). Hope to fix it soon.

    @drdavidsamadi Ever heard of zoom? I'm sure you have. But the problem is $$$. Ever heard of PayPal? Churches just care about "tithing"
