  • Andrew55276805 Andrew (@Andrew55276805) reported

    @AskPayPal Thank you! So in general query, what happens if someone makes a mistake? How would someone get the fee back paypal took? The other party would have to agree it was a mistake surely, but I cant see any other issue.

    @Scribd Hello Scribd, After signing up for your service I wasn't particularly happy. I canceled and removed my card from your site yet you're still charging my paypal. How about you take 5 minutes of your day and help me fix this would you? Sadly your site has ZERO chat & call numbers

    @Julia14284275 @PayPal Sounds alot like my issue. PayPal/Synchrony Bank are THE WORST! BEWARE: Do not use PayPal for any CREDIT purchases! They use Synchrony Bank and they WILL NOT SUPPORT YOU!! ZERO SUPPORT!

    @N4ughtylus Kikatek outright said details incorrect bank declined card And amazon accepted payment then emailed the refund Then PayPal accepted payment no issue. Very strange and worrying will check with my bank in the morning.

    @hyuun571 @halseysaysysbs hello!!!!! sorry to butt in but yeah we paid with PayPal even tho it was to a US address and we live outside the US, ours couldn’t be processed, we had to call them and change the details to bank card details instead everyone seems to be having an issue with PayPal!!

  • TheBigLewski Big Lew (@TheBigLewski) reported

    @FallenOneMusic No problem. Twitter is full of scumbags like this. A big red flag that you're about to get ripped off is when someone won't let you pay with Paypal.

  • Spazybuns Spazy 🌟 Commissions open ! (@Spazybuns) reported

    @HeartWolfdragon Wow that is absolutely terrible, i don’t understand how people can take someones money like that and not hold up their end of the bargin. Are you able to put in a claim with paypal?

  • getoutfast Aaron M (@getoutfast) reported

    3/ send them a tracking number (again, they didn't order anything), or "other". I refunded them. But then PayPal charged me a 4.78 euro fee for this refund. I marked this as an issue, since I didn't want this 100 eruo in the first place.

  • Doodletones Suzy (@Doodletones) reported

    Yo, anyone else have this issue where you can't keep money on Paypal as you send money to your bank account? You either transfer it all or transfer none of it with the "things aren't working right now" error? Or is that literally JUST a me problem?

  • WintersHowling Winters Howling (@WintersHowling) reported

    Swing to it! Handpaws are one size fits most. I'm open to payment plans, but you must put 30% down to claim em! Please only buy if you know you can! No time wasters! Bank transfer preferred but PayPal accepted. Must be 18+ to buy and I will be asking for ID!

  • Lisajaver7755 lisa scott (@Lisajaver7755) reported

    @leanpub @Berci İ can not buy by paypal or debit card, there is no any information about error reason. P.S. from Turkey. Thanks

  • rick_nd_rick cleverbot (@rick_nd_rick) reported

    @BotlibreBot a problem too, what about paypal ?

  • codenificient Très Computer Smart (@codenificient) reported

    @PayPal 's idea of multifactor authencation is requiring the user to login multiple times: first asking for the six digit code from user's authenticator app, and then sending user another code on mobile number and finally asking user to reset their password
