    @JacksonsCumcow you dont seem to understand the problem here. this is not evil pornsite who want us disapear, its the lawmaker and the corps. doing a nsfw paypal would be a gud idea for a for-profit business. They just can't do that because of laws banks and GAFA banning them from all the store

  • ReinaCr0wnd 👑Reina 👑 - 18+ Only (@ReinaCr0wnd) reported

    @MissMixi I switched to invoices pretty recently to avoid potential issues and keep my PayPal email between me and clients because of the years long battle between PayPal and artists.

  • hd_tsd Hugh Ⓥ (he/him) (@hd_tsd) reported

    so, @AskPayPal, if i use my balance to buy something, and y’all issue a temporary hold, then the merchant cancels my order because it’s out of stock, why do you hold MY money for 30 days? i did nothing wrong. doesn’t a month seem excessive…

  • kabangeh Kabangeh 🔞 (@kabangeh) reported

    @baritone_v It's like Paypal, but they don't actively try to **** up for income by shutting down your account and stealing your money.

  • mazuretsky Alex Mazur 🇬🇧 🇷🇺🚡 (@mazuretsky) reported

    @jew_AndAhalfMen And you don't have to be old to have trouble keeping track of direct debits - it's easy to do so if you pay via paypal, but not if you are debited directly

  • Adham_darwish Adham Darwish (@Adham_darwish) reported

    @PayPal @UN_Women My problem with you is for a year and more. I received money on my PayPal account and after that the account was closed and we waited for more than 180 days to get my money, unfortunately for more than a year and I did not get my money. Now the money has disappeared from my accon

  • ElevationMtg James | twitch.tv/ElevationAV (@ElevationMtg) reported

    @drood519 I had to file PayPal claims for THREE of my secret lair orders in order to get the issues resolved. I had so many damn issues with these things which has cost me thousands of dollars in lost revenue. My orders weren’t small either- having $10k+ ******* for months is an issue.

    Do anyone know some alternatives to paypal? I live in Philippines and my account got problems and they say they'll be closing it LMAO

  • HulkCapital HULK👊 (@HulkCapital) reported

    Damn if the market wasn't down 400pts premarket $PYPL would be over 300. Deutsche Bank analyst Bryan Keane raised the price target on PayPal (NASDAQ: PYPL) to $360.00 (from $310.00) while maintaining a Buy rating, saying elevated volumes are becoming the norm.

  • hyva_io Hyvä Themes 🟢🟢🟢🟢 (@hyva_io) reported

    It's been 2 months of support emails back and forth with @PayPal, but they won't re-enable our account. No reason given for initial shutdown, nor for continuing the block of our account. Anyone of influence or insights how to go about this issue, please advise. @PayPal4Business

  • ScrapyardSatyr 🦌⚙️ Skid ⚙️🦌 (@ScrapyardSatyr) reported

    What are the best PayPal alternatives for artists? Really need some suggestions before I settle for them. I'm really paranoid Paypal would **** over my account out of nowhere and do nothing to fix it.

    @BootsHelp I have tried various browsers and your app, I keep getting a message that there has been a "technical issue" processing payment and it doesn't go through. I am forced to use PayPal and I can't use my can't directly. I'm at my wits end with it...

  • aniciaclean Jo (@aniciaclean) reported

    Anyone else having problems with their Paypal?? 😕 Some of my money's been on hold for almost two weeks now. Never had this problem before so what is up @PayPal @AskPayPal

  • visualsbyfenz fenz'closed (@visualsbyfenz) reported

    @metalfnbr @daanivfx They can only issue a refund, not fully refund. And if they issue then just send paypal the twitter dms with the client and it should be fine

  • TaedybugFairy °○Callisto⁷🧈○。 (@TaedybugFairy) reported

    @btgongon @weverseshop Yes that is true! They changed it after this mess with the Be Essential Edition that got send back when they used dhl. After that they started to use fedex. The only issue that I have with them is when I have to pay the custom fees because they don't accept paypal

  • Yuki_Hatsu_Ch Yuki Hatsu ❄️ Ice Dragon Vtuber (@Yuki_Hatsu_Ch) reported

    @YuriKomorebi Hoping they come through. Though if it comes to the worst PayPal should side with you. I had an issue with an artist ghosting me for a month and they only replied after the charge back.
