Prince 💙 プリンス 👑 (@PrinceVTube) reportedSo uh…. If StreamElements is really going down where ******** are we moving our tipping/donation stuff? Preferably something that isn’t tied to PayPal for all those security reasons….

Nadia Tory (@Nadiatory_) reported@AskPayPal Good morning, I hope you're doing well. I have been trying to login to my PayPal account to no avail because the SMS with verification code sent to my phone won't come through and I never changed my number. I would like an assistance please.

JustAWuWaGuy (@JustAGuy1610) reported@_Aemeath_ Or at least fix it like AKE fixed their paypal issue.... Just delete it.

Ann O'Neill (@Ann_ONeill) reportedI just discovered I am being charged by @Cerebrum_lQ for a service they are not providing. When I tried to cancel I was told I have no active account yet a charge went through @PayPal today. I expect an immediate refund. Sad that X has become a watchdog for these issues.

Katie (@Katie_Kittymeow) reported@unblueable1 PayPal holding the money because of unusual activity? Been there... Had that issue because of many individuals donations coming in to PayPal, I'd have preferred to pool it and cash it out all at once like weekly, but here we are
-
Luke Layton (@LukeyLayton) reported@AskPayPal My case was closed incorrectly due to an automated error. Delivery was 13 April and I contacted the seller on 27 April. PayPal closed it saying I reported it after 30 days, which is factually wrong. The appeal button is missing and chat agents refused escalation.

oceanturn (@oceanturnmusic) reportedGuys… PayPal doubled down with a consumer wording. They tried to play human without soul. So I gave them the soul they needed and pressed “send feedback.” Good luck with the FTC.
