  • ToshiroOnchi Toshi (@ToshiroOnchi) reported

    We reactivated our US accounts on FFXIV! We figured since you can use PayPal on US accounts now it makes sense because the time I stream is terrible for playing FFXIV on Mana so we figured Primal it is, and we both had our old awesome characters!

  • CptBenzie Captain Benzie 🇿🇼 Mobile Gaming (@CptBenzie) reported

    Having a real rough time of it today folks. Trying to fix my PayPal so I can get paid, and it's taken a week of frustration to the point where it's nearly done. Now my network won't connect and finish the process - along with all the PayPal guys being slow and useless today.

  • boy_cards Big Boy Sports Cards (@boy_cards) reported

    @BradLovesRNG Go to the cops and get a report filed. That way when you take it to PayPal it makes your case stronger. Also if lawyers get involved you'll want that. However, G&S should be open and shut. What gives @PayPal? Fix his problem!!!!!

  • X_eLle_S Elle Linton | Fitness Pro & Blogger (@X_eLle_S) reported

    hey @adidasUK why is your site not working? can't check out with credit card nor PayPal... literally always an issue on ivy park launch day

  • TheMess88 Mark Rimmer (@TheMess88) reported

    BREAKING : PayPal to stop issuing refunds. The once reliable purchase protection service will no longer issue refunds except in extreme circumstances. The refund process is made even harder since PayPal axed customer service. RIP : BUYER PROTECTION

  • jasperapowell Jasper A. Powell (@jasperapowell) reported

    ever have an issue with @PayPal where you sent funds to wrong person? I have tried all week to get a refund & @AskPayPal is telling me to report it to my bank. But the bank wasn’t involved…it was funds in PayPal. Any suggestions? The person won’t respond who received the funds

  • Moshcrates Patrick (@Moshcrates) reported

    I would encourage those that are, rightfully, upset about the Activision news to have a talk with your community moving to off-platform monetization (paypal, fanhouse, O F, kofi, etc) rather than subs and bits, which contribute to the problem. You can rescind partner/affiliation.

  • Nikos_sou22 Nikos (@Nikos_sou22) reported

    @AskPayPal I think I found the solution for those whom their balance is locked over 180 days after PayPal closed their account for no reason. This worked for me: Go to login page, then click forget password and reset it. After a couple of minutes you should be able to withdraw.

  • JasminManticore JasminTheManticore (Comissions Full) (@JasminManticore) reported

    @GemlinChalk Well normally Paypal support actually answers and does something, wish you luck, if you have any doubts there's always internet guides for this type of problems

  • tradesbuteras naranja🍊 (@tradesbuteras) reported

    @HuionTab hey how do i use your website?? anytime i use my card i get an error 400 but if i use paypal i get an error 500?? how do people buy things from you if your website doesnt take literally any card

  • honeyateez cIoita (@honeyateez) reported

    apparently the person who bought from me had their card stolen and that’s why paypal is flagging it as unauthorised transaction i could honestly scream i rly hope they can fix this bc it’s been almost a week and i’m still waiting for paypal to help & take me out of minus 😵‍💫

  • GuyverGamingTV Guyver (@GuyverGamingTV) reported

    @TheTechChap @PayPal @AskPayPal Ye I had problems with PayPal in the past when I got conned selling my old laptop. I lost £700 and not one bit of help from them. I was not happy, their policy's are pretty rubbish and also very hard to find to check your rights.

  • JasminManticore JasminTheManticore (Comissions Full) (@JasminManticore) reported

    @GemlinChalk Normally this just happen when your account is not verified with a credit or debit card, whenever Paypal detects any "suspicious" activities. In this case i think you can verify it to unlock, but there are forums about the issue

  • Anastasia_Hesse Anastasia and the Bunnies (@Anastasia_Hesse) reported

    Had problems with PayPal last week. It came out that they somehow managed to forget my address... 🤔

    @ViewParkside @FirstGW_00 @AskeBay Personally I don’t really see any difference - only thing is I have to sign in to PayPal which isn’t too much of an issue. Only issue for me is the ridiculous prices…

  • andrew7668 andrew (@andrew7668) reported

  • Nikos_sou22 Nikos (@Nikos_sou22) reported

    @LiLBoWeep @AskPayPal @PayPal If have passed more than 180 days, the solution is to reset your password through your login page.

  • mzsooze ⟬⟭ᴮᴱSusan ⁷ ⟭⟬ (@mzsooze) reported

    @MountainDew trying to get this Cake Smash thru DewNation and the sandbox PayPal portal says my account doesn’t exist... it does, I even changed my password. They tried to enter my cc info and it keeps saying “This application has encountered an error” 😭

  • WrnchspnnerBill Bill (@WrnchspnnerBill) reported

    @AskPayPal so I finally got my problem resolved but now can’t send money because there’s a “problem with your account”. How does this get fixed?

  • _darrenmartyn Darren Martyn (@_darrenmartyn) reported

    So @dpdireland claim to offer card payment for customs charges, but all you get is "3069: The PaymentSystem is not supported on the account." for months. The only way to pay is Paypal, which a lot of people prefer not to use. Surely they should fix this by now?
