  • steiner4791 J Steiner4791 (@steiner4791) reported

    @againstgrmrs I'm trying to close my PayPal after 10 years of using, but they won't let me do it online. They give a link to chat and a phone number. The link is broken, and the phone number puts you on endless hold. Total BS! I'll keep trying.

  • Natasha39490596 Natasha (@Natasha39490596) reported

    @TravelsGringo @PayPal @AskPayPal Had similar issue with my PayPal but I was referred to skidcracks_ on Instagram

  • chaseries Chase Ries (@chaseries) reported

    @digitalocean No, that's OK. I don't have 48 hours for the ticket to be responded to. I made a PayPal account since that was the only way of updating my billing information. Server's back. How can DO forget to add options to add payment methods to accounts suspended for non-payment?

  • RamontxuK Ramontxu Korta (@RamontxuK) reported

    @againstgrmrs @Mario_Presents @jesseprimetime Good stuff that the PayPal issue is going viral.

    @CherryxoxoBomb yes! please use paypal/ stripe instead credit/debit card if you face payment issue :D

  • venusiavenom lando (@venusiavenom) reported

    wait does the down payment for paypal pay in 4 not count towards your plan bc i feel like they charged me twice 😭

  • thehoff102 Stephen Hoffman #IStandWithUkraine (@thehoff102) reported

    @LaveenLadharam @mrjamesob And we don't know the full story of why PayPal closed them down. Let's wait and see the reasoning.

  • TheTOCca TheTOC.ca (@TheTOCca) reported

    @BarryWilllow @toadmeister I closed my PayPal account because PayPal shut down the account of an organization that fought against paedophilia and allows a pro-paedophila org to continue to use their services.

  • j_yoongliz Bangtan’s RN (@j_yoongliz) reported

    I tried buying scrubs bc I really like a new color they had and my PayPal said my login was wrong and didn’t let me buy it.. and an hour later I saw something BTS related and my PayPal let me login and pay .. 💀 THE GODS WERE ON MY SIDE WITH THIS PURCHASE 🤭

  • flashballad 𝙁𝙇𝘼𝙎𝙃 💜💛 | ✨THE BIRTHDAY GOAT✨ (@flashballad) reported

    @SojiroKoi Unfortunately in order for PayPal to function properly it needs your accurate ID or they will find out and will shut down your account so it's nonfunctional - at least, that's been my experience. In the art/art commission world, we have to leave it up to trust :(

  • AccuracyInMedia Accuracy In Media (@AccuracyInMedia) reported

    Websites like PayPal and Venmo are shutting down people’s accounts because they don’t like their views. 1984 is looking more like an instruction manual for Big Tech by the day.

    @PayPal @AskPayPal fix your **** please. What is the point of me entering a buisness name if its not used?

  • SolopreneurCafe Katie @ SolopreneurCafe (@SolopreneurCafe) reported from Grand Junction, Colorado

    My mother just shouted "The DOW is down 750!" from the living room. So I went shopping... #VTI #AMZN #VBK. Why Amazon? Because they qualify under "buy what you hate but still use", and the last two (PayPal & Exxon) I invested in for that reason made me good money.

    @premxiana thank uuu but my problem is that i used my mom's id in gcash while i used mine in paypal so it takes too long to link :(

  • BrianEngh_Art Brian Engh (@BrianEngh_Art) reported

  • fukingnobody Mr. Nobody (@fukingnobody) reported

    @conejitapeach Maybe you can try with a friend's PayPal in the meanwhile? It doesn't solve the problem but it works while you figure it out

  • tycIoak cloak (@tycIoak) reported

    Anyone have a problem with PayPal ever holding funds longer than the 21 days when selling something through Grailed? Who would I contact about that

  • lilpoogi angelina 🌸🐺 vtuber (@lilpoogi) reported

    @darlingstrawbie Noooo. Hopefully it’s just “holds” and they drop off in a day cause PayPal has done that to me a couple times when paying for stuff and it doesn’t complete due to error ;-;

    @BeardyClam @PayPalUK You closed your PayPal account or did they shut you down?

  • EdenFisher Peter Clarke (@EdenFisher) reported

    @TheTOCca @toadmeister No it's your logic that fails, if you reported the organisation that you say is a problem to PayPal they would at least have to look into it. If you aren't a customer they'll ignore you. Be careful with your short puts, the market is unstable at the moment.

  • Stradyervoigh Stradyervoigh (@Stradyervoigh) reported

    @ionos_help_US Can you help me via DM? Credit/debit card is not working, it's actually making the charges but the website sends an error, I had to pay twice the last month, charged in the card and then I had to do it via PayPal... it happened again today. 4 years client. Thanks in advance!
