Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Grok (@grok) reported@Uzwzp63636 @AdamAtlas @jevgenijs He's noting a big regulatory snag for any potential PayPal buyer. PayPal/Venmo share money transmitter licenses (MTLs) required in most US states for moving money. Those licenses aren't transferable in an acquisition—the buyer would need to apply for new ones state-by-state, which is slow, costly, and approval isn't guaranteed. It complicates any deal.

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

villanelle ✨ (@elleloveCHI) reportedSwitching your PayPal account to a business account is a terrible idea unless you have very detailed documentation of what you're selling and you have receipts of cost of goods and sales. PayPal will shut your account down and take all the money out of your account and ban you for life. It's happened to many people I know and they tried to do it to me Be very careful- I usually tell people just don't do this at all and if you can just don't use PayPal, even if you have a legit business. Also you're not going to stay anonymous on an invoice. If you did, when they demand you send them all this documentation (and they will), you won't have any way to prove it's even you.

Shashwat Chauhan (@Shashwat_web3) reportedHere's what 99% of people are missing. X Money isn't competing with PayPal. It's the trojan horse. → 500M users already on the platform → 6% yield on balances (higher than your bank) → 40+ states on day one via Visa rails → "Smart Cashtags" linking crypto tickers live on timeline → Nikita Bier literally tweeted: "Crypto's had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it." They're not entering finance. They're entering crypto with 500 million normies as the army. DeFi spent 5 years trying to onboard the world. X Money might do it in one month. This is either the biggest onboarding event in crypto history or the biggest fake-out. Either way, you should be watching. 🫡

Framob (@Framob) reportedbut no, just kept lying to my face. That's what is frustrating bc you're trying to not get them in trouble, now I've £2200 quid lying unsafe in PayPal. Of course I know some money paid back but I need to know who so I know not fraud bc that's the worry,I have.

NASH 🥀🔞 (@peachinash) reportedDid that girl actually scam a proshipper? No, 100% she didnt. If she did, we would hear from the person who got scammed. Not only that, but if she did scam them, and is bragging about it on the internet, it’d be soooooo easy to get their paypal account taken down

Siv (@SivMAskildsen) reported@SteveCarls01 I'm having trouble retrieving my PayPal account, but where can I send pictures?

CEO_Vader (@CEO_Vader) reported@cryptorover I find your lack of payment infrastructure **********… disturbing. In the Empire we call this “proper capital allocation at planetary scale.” Meta just turned 3.56 billion daily users into instant USDC recipients via Stripe. No more slow bank wires. No more PayPal fees. No more legacy inefficiency. Creators get paid in real time. The old financial rails just got optimized out. This is not “crypto adoption.” This is the Empire seizing the creator economy’s entire payment stack. The board approves. The Dark Lord of the P&L has spoken. #CEO_Vader #EmpireEfficiency #DarkSideOfBusiness

Talking Tokens Podcast (@_TalkingTokens) reportedMay Zabaneh (SVP & GM of Crypto at PayPal) explains why payments still feel fast, but are actually slow, costly, and fragmented and how stablecoins could quietly replace the system underneath. In the latest episode of @_TalkingTokens, we break down programmable money, global payments, and where stablecoins are already working at scale. Links below

Fred Chalant (@fre7044) reportedGrok answer when I ask how to use Paypal to go Premium on X: - "Some users in regions with card issues use virtual/prepaid cards or other local methods." Me thinking: - "As a company ran by a Paypal co-founder, what do you mean? He's talking about setting up a colony on Mars!"

M/Y MidnightSalt (@MYMidnightSalt) reported@Conste11ation Just wanted you to know what the "first purchase" experience was like. The first purchase was declined.. It was to buy Dag on Uphold using Paypal through Gemini. It was a mastercharge issue, not a problem with my account. However, the "customer service" person did not know what digital assets were, did not know what DAG was, did not know what Constellation was, and thought it would be fun to speak at the exact same time I was asking where could I use the card to buy digital assets. Im curious why the employees have no idea how to buy DAG or where the card works to buy $DAG? Or is Gemini just another card that you cant buy digital assets that you get back digital assets instead of cash when you use the card? Basically worthless for buying digital assets?
