  • zIProph Ethan (@zIProph) reported

    @kaiileymae @PayPal Paypal is *** sometimes. I got paid like $500 once in multiple payments and the guy ended up charging me back. I was down the $500 and had to pay like $60 in chargeback fees. Couldn’t appeal or anything

    @UbisoftSupport The Ubisoft+ service has been suspended even though two charges were made to my bank, the first when I just activated the subscription and the second when I changed the method to PayPal as I wanted to fix it quickly because I did not let me continue playing

  • mjones907 Matthew (@mjones907) reported

  • throughtprocess Imoan (@throughtprocess) reported

    @PayPal had someone trying to use my PayPal account, I closed the account with no problem. I tried to open another PayPay account and it allows me to establish new PW, but won't let me close 2nd account.

    @DollStargazer Discord banned me for "chargebacks", I wasn't able to talk to them. Only bots responded, and I needed human help to properly navigate the issue. I followed through on Paypal's end to get my money back because I didn't know what was going on. So l lose my account and get perma ban

  • TheBaleygr Baleygr🎭 (@TheBaleygr) reported

    @NoctilucaVT I saw something on Twitter awhile ago about an issue with payment being taken back from PayPal after the sponsorship. Not sure how legit it is. warrants research

  • Xurii_Ryan Xurii (@Xurii_Ryan) reported

    I have an extremely major problem.. When I went to Mainstage I sent money to Hamp with PayPal to help pay for my plane ticket cost and the hotel room cost. This was the only time I've sent over money. Two times. This was enough for PayPal to PERMABAN me for potential high risk.

  • usualdetritus usual detritus (@usualdetritus) reported

    @wesyang @omni_american @Stanford See also: PayPal reinstituting the $2500 fine for “misinformation” back into the TOS a month or two after the furor died down, and there was virtually no coverage of it.

  • katthebookmouse Kat the Cheshire Mouse 🐭📘 EN-VT (@katthebookmouse) reported

    @TheBaleygr @NoctilucaVT There were some legit issues, but they were eventually resolved. Still, it's panic-inducing to see large sums of money taken from you so that your PayPal ends in the negative over someone else's mistake. I'd understand if someone's wary about it.

    @yourfavlil All this is terrible esp. on yr birthday. Can't they make an exception and fit you in ? You need a calendar program. I could help w yr ticket if you have a paypal account...

  • leilaleitails Peeve (@leilaleitails) reported

    @kaiileymae @PayPal They need to specify what rule was broken in their TOS so you can properly appeal.

  • StellaLove4life Stella Williams ♊🐍📚 PREORDER RECLAIMING HUNTER! (@StellaLove4life) reported

    @AuthorWinifred I had one week to move for a job across country. Rented a house sight unseen on the internet. They let me pay the down payment with PayPal. It was great we stayed a year then bought a house. This is in no way an endorsement for that though I got real lucky.

  • BlacknessinXtra Anchored In Xtra Blackness 🏴First Generation.💯 (@BlacknessinXtra) reported

    I have heard about this IRS ting going on in America and I strongly believe that government is pocket watching our people to see how much donations, superchat, cashapp, PayPal and other moneys they are receiving. And if they get benefits or unemployment I see trouble.

  • Masked_Sol Sol Forecast (@Masked_Sol) reported

    Waiting for PayPal to fix itself in my country...
