    @PayPal @PayPal is the worst payment gateway for sellers. You don’t help us at all. You always choose the customer when they are wrong. Terrible.

  • ByronGoldberg Byron Goldberg (@ByronGoldberg) reported

    @PayPalAU - received horrible support from your team. Spent 40 minutes on the phone only to be put down on, with absolutely no resolution. Seriously, will never use PayPal in my life.

  • JesseTheGreat4 Elon Musk (@JesseTheGreat4) reported

    @TeamStubHub and @StubHub Have an issue. Somehow you sent payment to wring PayPal. How do I fix?

  • QueenCalima Calima (@QueenCalima) reported

    Not only are you banned on FA, but also were banned from your own PayPal for similar behavior. Multiple people have come forward now talking about having issues with you in the past. Using your hubby's PayPal to continue your damage path is against TOS. 4/

    @DIRECTV My stream account has multiple issues, first I couldn’t sign in, I can use my account on the app (it says I don’t have a service) now today my payment failed and a rep tells me maybe I should put money in my account and try again (it auto pays through PayPal with funds there)

    @Jayecane Just wished that I had the revenue to topup my BTC/ETH wallet balance . So does my PayPal account. However I did tweeted my Wise JP Morgan Chase Bank account number, that if you would make any interbank transfer . Otherwise, I just had to sit down and wait for the opportunity.

  • evansinco SkiKUNG⛷️❄️ (@evansinco) reported from Vail, Colorado

    Anyone having trouble transferring $$$ to their bank account in PayPal? This is rent money from roommates & my landlord is old af & I write him checks, getting pretty pissed off over here

  • DeborahWMI Deborah with many Interest (@DeborahWMI) reported

    @jcpenney @askjcp I got a message saying that I would get a refund to my Paypal when I used a gift card. I still have not received that yet either. It seems like every time I have a JC penny rep tell me I will be getting it within 2 or 7 days it never happens. What could possibly be the problem?

  • hambinooo LG hambinooo (@hambinooo) reported

    @ScottyTidwell @PayPal dude the call was incredibly eye opening. the laundry list of errors they will run into trying to confirm every transaction& restrict withdrawals for up to 21 days after receipt. Doesn't matter what the payment is if it funnels thru a business account, prob time for ACH

  • ooqya oqya (@ooqya) reported

    @AskPayPal why can’t I login to PayPal

  • DarthValtrex Jared (@DarthValtrex) reported

    @DogecoinRide It's unnecessary there are plenty of online payment processing systems out there. The issue is that people are often forced to use paypal.

  • SoozUK Sooz Kempner🐀 (@SoozUK) reported

    Has anyone had trouble with Paypal today. Mine just freezes when I try to log in and has done since this morning. Paypal...more like....anus...*****.

  • CheckFact Chuck Rogers @chuckrogers@mastodon.world (@CheckFact) reported

    @TdStromanIII @thebesestore Oh, you won’t be getting it. They’ll charge you but send something else and only issue a refund if you ship it back to China. Very common scam. Whenever you see a Chinese site that only takes PayPal, they’re running that scam.

  • verysimple sam (@verysimple) reported

    @magi_jay I think the biggest problem for many of these guys is conflating being smart at one thing, and assuming that makes them smart at everything. Musk was good at identifying market gaps and investing in existing companies (PayPal, Tesla, etc), but he’s **** at everything else.

  • NaoDoragonENV Nao 🦊🐉Fox-Dragon Vtuber (@NaoDoragonENV) reported

    @Vertabia @AskPayPal I understand when I called the First Lady said they could fix it. Just for the other two to say there was nothing they could do

  • QueenCalima Calima (@QueenCalima) reported

    After I replied to the PayPal dispute showing that you did indeed receive everything (and you yourself showed the proof that the art was complete via the photos of my screen I sent to you on 12/31) you have chosen to double down on this knowing you have the work. What a scam! 3/

  • TroublesumKitty T.K. (@TroublesumKitty) reported

    @QueenCalima So much for keeping it anonymous. 1. You had months. 2. Agreed upon deadline was Jan 1st. That was back in October 3. I am not banned from FA nor paypal I have no idea where you got that info. Give me names of the ppl that have issues with me
