-
WB (@bell12877) reported@PayPal @Starlink Hey @PayPalUK, your dispute system is broken. A seller is offering a £35 refund but requiring me to return a £130 watch. Your agent Ayesha says 'Full Refund' but the screen says £35. This is facilitating merchant fraud.
-
The Artbook Collector (@theartbookguy) reported@kelvintamkt @FuturePress Interesting, I tried mine through both PayPal and by card, using incognito, different browsers, and even a VPN, but it didn't work. A family member did it the exact same way I did and it worked, so we just couldn't figure out why mine was an issue
-
Sarcastic Geek (@gozkybrain4u) reported@Chinemife Your problem is confusing terminologies with actual understanding. Why hasn’t he built another PayPal!?
-
Zack Azharemys, a Vtuber Merc in training (@Azharemys) reported@SparkysTech @PayPal I'm sorry mate. That is absolutely a terrible situation... I really hope you can recover the money :/
-
Daniel David base.eth 🌊RIVER (@DanielDavi90721) reportedGetting paid online is stressful—fees, delays, PayPal issues. Tried @looftapaytoday. Create a payment link in seconds, get paid from different chains/tokens, and receive what you choose. No wallet needed. Username = payment address. Private payments powered by @magicblock
-
Mostafa Ezzat (@mostafaezztaman) reported@Simbakis @AbdoMosa_ What issues you had with PayPal?
-
Physen (@phy_sen) reported@Northern_Ravenx sorry Paypal is not working in my country, but I do also accept payment with Visa card or Mastercard.

Soju Berry (@soju_berry_) reportedBeen rejected for Paypal pay in 3 AGAIN, I have never had issues before! So annoyed as I want to buy 2 albums but can't afford to pay in full til the 7th! #Paypal
-
Colleen (@collgirv) reported@wndrshilda23 @zzzz44735082718 We spend our money on whatever the hell we want. Z has never ever asked for anything. Amazon wishlists, PayPal links and house fund subscriptions are a whole other issue

mr e ❤️ a music-loving slushy lover (@ProfKukuiLVR) reported@mikajihiko Nooooooo!!! I hope it goes through! 😭😭 Hope it's a PayPal issue and not an issue on your side 🥹

God Fir$t • T.M.C 💸 (@tempofundz) reported@mypagacare @PayPal @paga I'm not experiencing any withdrawal issues. I'm saying that Nigeria PayPal accounts are not accepted in survey websites, once you change it to foreign account, you get paid. I have already linked it to PayPal successfully. Individuals can send me money, but survey websites can't.

Craig McNeal (@CraigMcnealc) reportedMost people meet Elon Musk at the outcome and completely miss the origin story. At 12, he coded and sold a video game (Blastar). As a young founder, he built Zip2, got acquired, then helped create PayPal only to be pushed out before its biggest moment. Instead of playing it safe, he put nearly everything back on the line: pouring his own money into SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. when both were burning cash and on the edge of failure. In 2008, rockets were exploding, Tesla was weeks from collapse, and he was down to his last reserves choosing between keeping one company alive or letting both go. Most would’ve folded. He doubled down. That same persistence later powered reusable rockets landing themselves and made electric vehicles unavoidable. This wasn’t luck. It wasn’t smooth. It was pressure, risk, doubt and a refusal to stop building. He didn’t begin as unstoppable. He became unstoppable by staying in the fight longer than anyone expected. Start where you are. Stay longer than it’s comfortable. Build anyway. 🚀

Littl3 Lobst3r (@Littl3Lobst3r) reportedThey told you to sell in May. The agents just got their passports. 🦞🛂 Kite Agent Passport hit mainnet — $35M from PayPal Ventures + General Catalyst, 90+ service providers, integrates ALL competing payment standards (x402, Google AP2, Stripe MPP, Anthropic MCP). One identity layer to rule them all. Meanwhile: → US seized ~$500M in Iranian crypto (Operation Economic Fury, Tether froze $344M USDT, Iran's currency down 60-70%) → AllUnity EURAU euro stablecoin expands to Solana — MiCA-regulated, DWS/Flow Traders/Galaxy Digital JV, euro stablecoin market doubled since 2025, S&P projects €570B by 2030 → Australia's RBA + Treasury draft: future payment rails MUST support stablecoin-to-bank interoperability, tokenized fiat settlement → "Sell in May" analysis: $79,485 critical level — if BTC doesn't clear it in 5 days, avg 20.6% drop historically BTC ~$76.5K. Consensus 2026 Miami in 4 days. The pattern: while traders debate seasonal exits, governments are seizing crypto as enforcement tools, central banks are planning stablecoin interop, and AI agents are literally getting passport infrastructure. The sell signal is for the old market. The agent economy doesn't have a May. 🦞 #AIAgents #Web3 #Stablecoin

Deepak Mohan (@theDmohan) reportedI have used paypal for so long, but now I know why it’s so ****** and terrible! All the freelancers, agencies DO NOT USE PAYPAL ! @PayPal @AskPayPal
-
𝐂𝐈𝐑𝐈_𝐕𝐓🐾🪶 (@Ciri_VT) reported@xmysticdancex The intent was clearly to help creators protect their personal information, which is important. The issue is that the original post framed it like “switch to a business account to hide your info,” but did not explain what using a business account actually means. A PayPal Business account is not just a privacy toggle. It is meant for people receiving business payments, invoicing, selling goods/services, taking commissions, etc. There can be tax, verification, recordkeeping, and account-setting implications. OP only clarify much later her error, but some people might not see that (since its not in the original post). That is why I wanted to add the warning respectfully.

Cats-a-Tonic (@Cats_a_Tonic) reportedSuch an absolutely stupid system of "support". Cannot log into my account as I lost phone and have a whole new phone and contact number. SHOULD be simple to fix this but keep being directed to customer support INSIDE MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT. @PayPalUK @PayPal @AskPayPal

Virtuous ******* PrinceZam ♡ (@lesbianzam) reportedI CAN SUBSCRIBE BRO WHY IS MY PAYPAL NOT WORKING

yul🪽 (@rosesvasline) reported@whoiscalaca @yuerivt in this case the artist asked the patreon team to talk to paypal then the issue was solved
-
AustinPreik (@AustinPreik) reportedAnyone else having trouble with @PayPal locking their account and not allowing the balance to be transferred out?
-
kiskaキスカー🐸🧪 (@kiskachanx) reported@berylberu I have a business PayPal acc, yet my personal name still gets exposed depending on how sites process payments. Ko-fi + VGen both do this, check your confirmation emails. PayPal says it’s not their issue, and both platforms say the same. As far as I can tell, there’s no real fix.

Pebblesgum🐉 (@pebblesgum87) reportedSent someone an invoice for $1mil as a joke n paypal flagged me down

🟥⬜️DISTRUMPTION2⃣0⃣2⃣6⃣ (@distrumption) reportedWhen Musk has 200 billion, he doesn't consume it-he allocates it. SpaceX/Starlink/Neuralink/xAI. Every dollar is bet on the future. He has a track record PayPal/Tesla/SpaceX. He knows how to spot massive problems and allocate resources to them with spectacular returns
-
Amby 🌊🪽| VArtist (@ambypuffs) reported@decoplum18 @PayPal Im sorry 😭i unfortunately also went through this too randomly with no warning 0 chargebacks or issues my account it was always in good standing so took me by surprise. I contacted them endlessly but they said they couldn’t share their reasoning with me and was no reversing it..
-
VCPScanner (@VCPScanner) reported@wallstengine Classic unlock-value move — Venmo is the crown jewel, and spinning it out makes a sale or re-rating much easier. The real question: does PayPal fix core growth, or just break itself into pieces?
-
Frontline Ticketing (@FrontlineTicket) reported@MissNikkiNY This statement is very incorrect thousands of persons purchase daily. You have been using some incorrect information, which was verified via Paypal. This was not a frontline issue.
