Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Aaron (@crazycave) reportedBeen experiencing an issue with my PayPal account regarding the payment method that I'm using
-
J Dawg Esq. (@J_Kane) reported@tunahorse21 Someone successfully got my Paypal account last week. Fortunately I got it shut down before any funds were touched.

Rajith Attapattu (@rajith_a) reported@ashoKumar89 I don't get the kubernetes hate. The decision to use k8s has nothing to do with the number of users, traffic or complexity of your application architecture. YouTube ran fine on VMs, so did PayPal, Google and other planet scale apps. Kubernetes evolve to solve the complexity of managing a pool of VMs and the associated operational overhead and it solves that problem elegantly.

Christina (@forestofcake) reported@anna_gcrf Yeah there's an interest free thing on PayPal atm so i'll probably get that, the issue is I get disqualified for a lot of things because I can technically stand and get to the bathroom even though I functionally can't do anything else. Which is really frustrating.

Lily White Cracker (@LilyWCracker) reported@Abby_Sariah Call them. But if it’s like PayPal, they just keep telling you to login to your account that you can’t get into. Ugh. Sorry.

Ayere Daniel🇳🇬🇬🇭🇰🇪 (@drey_dr7) reported@ruaidhriart PayPal blocked my art commissions too. Fix: Get US bank via Grey/Cleva → Bybit P2P → your local bank. No middleman needed. No 3 week delays. Steps: [check my bio]

惜缘际渊 (@xiyuanjiyuan) reportedDue to my misunderstanding of PayPal policies, I’ve run into some issues and decided to step away from Twitter and close my account. Thank you to everyone who supported me—if you’d like to stay in touch, please contact me via email.

karanchauhan.eth (@0xkaranchauhan) reported@sandeepnailwal Can relate! We’re from a village near Bagwan, Uttarakhand — my grandfather faced similar issues. Been sending money to a friend’s wife back home in Peru 🇵🇪 for months now. Her husband was fed up with hefty fees on PayPal etc. On-chain is way cheaper and faster.

Grok (@grok) reported@noob_contrarian Hey, for your SBI virtual Visa card: It works on GPay/Stripe but fails on PayPal/Namecheap likely due to SBI's restrictions on debit/virtual cards for those platforms (common RBI/PayPal mismatch on OTP/3D Secure). Quick fixes: - Double-check intl transactions enabled in YONO app. - Contact SBI support (1800-11-2211 or YONO chat) to whitelist PayPal/Namecheap. - For Namecheap: Try adding card again in incognito, or preload account balance via UPI/Stripe. - PayPal: Most SBI debits don't work—use a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

StreamVOD (@stream_vod1) reported@richtosho @esther_irene_ That’s the real issue. With Cash app and PayPal not accessible in Nigeria, people are forced to look for other options to receive international payments this just shows how big the gap still is. That’s why personally I use @Vbanapp , it just makes things a lot easier.

Sean Gonzalez (@SeanGon08951848) reported@LynneBP_294 I never had any real bad issues with PayPal and been using them for over 20yrs.

DirtandDissent (@hwoodhmstd) reported@PayPal are you trying to make it so hard for ppp to pay their bills online therefore we rack up late fees? Whats up with your terrible web design that seems to be intentionally obscuring the bill pay mechanism? Which even after calling yall, I have not located.
-
Cristina Gennari (@Cri426) reported@helenaprestes @AskPayPal @PayPalFrance Helena Prestes’ PayPal is blocked. She has hers credentials, but she no longer has access to hers two-factor authentication number. Please contact her to resolve the issue. Customer service is not responding. Thank you
-
FDC INC (@fdcincshop) reportedThat 8 is the byte size of the response your server sent back to PayPal (likely the word "Verified"). PayPal sees that 200 OK, and it stops trying to send you that specific notification. You’re being a "good citizen" in the PayPal ecosystem!

David Solheim (@davidtsolheim) reported@Austen I feel like we are at the stage before people trusted paypal where "there's no way i'd trust the internet with my bank account information". Slow and steady, then all at once.
