    The audacity of Paypal tho. Ill be closing my account. The intels did say they were taking them down. Dem bright sah.

  • AK24612 Vito Stanley (@AK24612) reported

    @Texasiswhereil1 @PeteTheBladeGuy @kimKBaltimore "error"....do you actually believe that? Companies the size of Paypal don't write up a new user agreement and publish it without first going through hundreds of reviews and edits. It was an intentional publication and they realized they messed up.

  • DicTater_Tot MrDadArt 18+ (comms open soon) (@DicTater_Tot) reported

    Just gonna try paypal for now, and if i need to switch to an alternative down the road, I will.

  • NMassian Nick Massian (@NMassian) reported

    @pulte PayPal has been on the way out for a while. They have terrible customer service and drive their customers away.

  • SteamFlyerJames James C.@Steampunkflyer 🇨🇦 🌊 (@SteamFlyerJames) reported

    I suspect someone's trying to drive down #Paypal stock. #Elon?

  • RhondaHolland Rhonda Holland 🇺🇸 (@RhondaHolland) reported

    I'd close my @PayPal account but I haven't been able to log into it for about 2 years and @AskPayPal ignored my attempts to fix it. Now I don't care and will never use them again. #closepaypal

  • BryanMo88320272 The Reverend Blue Jeans (@BryanMo88320272) reported

    @UnwashedJacques @BenAdamsO_O @SenatorTimScott It was posted on purpose. Impossible to say otherwise because of exactly what Jacques said. Huge corporations don't cross a t or dot an i that's not scrutinized by legal, but PayPal's claiming it was an innocent mistake while trying to push the event down the memory hole.

    @mkibbe @PayPal Cool. You are not entitled to use PayPal despite whatever policies it may choose to put in place and enforce. There’s this thing called a user agreement. You poor pervs have a lot of trouble with this idea.

    @RealCandaceO @PayPal @AskPayPal I had no problem...I got confirmation within a couple minutes.

  • ALaks1500 VS (@ALaks1500) reported

    @AskPayPal I’ve been trying to close my account for a few weeks. Yet I’m still unable to do so. I need this account to be closed ASAP. I’ve done whatever was suggested a few weeks ago. I’m still getting an error msg stating that the account cannot be closed.

    @DineshDSouza @PayPal Don't know what the problem is right now with PayPal. But I do know that it is not a bank.

  • BloodthornKeon Kieragale (@BloodthornKeon) reported

    Hey @PayPal just got notifications of unusual activities on my account. Reset my password but I can't login now because of this new authentication # from an authentication app? What app?

  • 0rf Matt Orfalea (@0rf) reported

    @jeffreyatucker @EpochTimes “An AUP notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information. PayPal is not fining people for misinformation and this language was never intended to be inserted in our policy” ie, the error was notifying people early

  • Waviehall David hall (@Waviehall) reported

    @dddd87659459 @Martinsohaks @Nostre_damus That’s always been an issue, it’s a security issue going back as long as I can remember PayPal existing. You have to delete your data, cards etc before closing an account or they will just not let you reopen using the same card etc, saves alot of scammers etc doing it

  • MrGreen25895342 Mr Green (@MrGreen25895342) reported

    @disclosetv Short these PayPal fu ckers to death and close down all accounts with them power in numbers people power is what they fear.

  • tealosprey Reverend Jim (@tealosprey) reported

    @DineshDSouza Do you feel silly now that PayPal said it was an error and that bit was never supposed to be in the user agreement?

  • yaronco77347085 Rico B111 (@yaronco77347085) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal We should ban them! It will go down in history as a lesson!

  • ShuForCongress Shukri Abdirahman (@ShuForCongress) reported

    I closed my PayPal. The safety and security of our women and children and the protection of our most fundamental liberties will not be scorned without consequence. Send PayPal a loud and clear message; Shut your accounts down. Don’t spare it till it looks like postwar Japan.

  • SectorSpider SectorSpider (@SectorSpider) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal Let them burn on the way down.

  • DiabeticDadUK Diabetic Dad of the Dead (@DiabeticDadUK) reported

    @Cazcharl1 Yes, Teemill accept PayPal. Is there an error message?

  • ThatUmbrella ThatUmbrellaGuy (@ThatUmbrella) reported

    @NatetheLawyer People are saying "this has been corrected." No - this was walked back. Sort of. But PayPal Is desperate. $114 BILLION in stock cap lost since Jan or over 50%. They are looking for a "new" way to offset that and other issues.

  • JimmyT2022 JT. (@JimmyT2022) reported

    @JimMurp77852985 @PayPal Same i just pulled my account at the right time last night alot of people had issues closing them yesterday. #GoWokeGoBroke. Wonder how their stocks will look like tomorrow

  • j_yeatts Proud Conservative Kevin Yeatts (@j_yeatts) reported

    @JennaEllisEsq Yeah bull **** "in error"! Someone thought enough of your policy to PUT IT IN WRITING!!! I've used PayPal for 20 years but my account is closed as of tomorrow. P. O. S!

  • garydeaton70 gary deaton (@garydeaton70) reported

    @DineshDSouza @PayPal Shouldnt one of you repubs actually try and help solve problems instead of always doing nothing and whinning like a high schooler

  • JoshSasquatch JoshSasquatch (@JoshSasquatch) reported

    @ABohdie @DineshDSouza @PayPal It's linked to an email address which likely is used for other sign in, ie social media

  • PJZive PJ Zive (@PJZive) reported

    @TomFitton @PayPal Are they a private company? Do they have the “right to refuse service to anyone?” Then what’s the problem? You think there should be no consequences if you spread misinformation? Too F-ing bad.

  • MrGreen25895342 Mr Green (@MrGreen25895342) reported

    @disclosetv Short these PayPal (PYPL) fu ckers to death and close down all accounts with them power in numbers people power is what they fear. @Official_WSB

  • RosAwithanA R Hohman (@RosAwithanA) reported

    Per:@PayPal “An AUP [Acceptable Use Policy] notice recently went out in error that included incorrect information, PayPal is not fining people for misinformation…” So who @PayPal is being fined for this piece of #misinformation? Just asking. #PayPalFine #PayPalAUP

  • 3hurleys Mike (@3hurleys) reported

    @durdyessobee @davidmarcus @PayPal Not an “error” if it was post dated to November. It was part of a plan and they got caught.
