  • mrbgag mrbgag (@mrbgag) reported

    @RyanAFournier Can someone please explain this issue? To my knowledge, PayPal is a $ service. At what point are you expressing your beliefs?

  • Dave09791877 Dave (@Dave09791877) reported

    @PayPal @paypal Do you have payment issues today

  • DemandFactsNow Shaun McCarron 🌎 (@DemandFactsNow) reported

    @ACTBrigitte Yeah, nobody outside the MAGA cult doing that. FYI: PayPal has 30,900 employees. @ACTBrigitte has zero problem going “scorched earth” on every one of them, taking their jobs away, just to promote her twisted, anti-American, MAGA cult agenda.

  • JamesOster11 Jimmy (@JamesOster11) reported

    @realmichaelseif I closed my account out with PayPal yesterday. I had just came back to PayPal after being away for several years and I like them then but when I came back it was totally different so I did one transaction with them and that was it then I shut my account down. I'll never go back.

  • Dirtgeetar Dirt Linville (@Dirtgeetar) reported

    @ACTBrigitte I've used PayPal for years, never an issue. You must hate companies that do well.

  • Ari1869 🅐 🅔 🅡 🅘 🅝 🍮 rest and work again (@Ari1869) reported

    Maybe I should stop using PayPal. If Paypal would have such a problem

  • prosurfsco prosurfsco (@prosurfsco) reported

    @elonmusk @davidmarcus @PayPal ‘Error’? Looks like PayPal is the one with a misinformation problem and needs to fine itself.

  • Zayukoni Zayuko (@Zayukoni) reported

    sorry for broken english artists i need help for my friend, they're a ph artist and are looking for Paypal alternatives cause their broke, what do u recommend? #ArtistOnTwitter #artistsupport

  • Patlaugh Patrick Laughney (@Patlaugh) reported

    @AskPayPal I no longer have the phone number associated with my email and it just takes me in circles trying to fix it. What do I do?

  • Pittboss1968 Pitt-Boss (@Pittboss1968) reported

    @JamesMelville Maybe PayPal will shut down Microsoft now?

  • lzsthw Zed A. Shaw, Writer (@lzsthw) reported

    After a week of _terrible_ sales conversion with an ultra clean Stripe based page I'm switching back to Paypal with Stripe as an option. My sales were down about 75%, but I'll post some real stats sometime later today in a new blog post.

  • Cheeeesy_ Cheesy (@Cheeeesy_) reported

    @MacroSkokie I agree this is a terrible policy, but using nonsensical buzzwords is only furthering the culture war that exists. We’re on the same side of the argument against PayPal, but if you really think calling them woke shows you’re standing up against cancel culture, you’re a hypocrite.

  • lzsthw Zed A. Shaw, Writer (@lzsthw) reported

    @christkv That's possible. I'd have to see if there's a way to know if someone paid with straight card or their paypal login. I'm switching it back then doing an analysis to see what's possibly going on.

  • Tintin75141732 Tintin (@Tintin75141732) reported

    @PeterSweden7 Even if they backed down I don't really want to put my hard earned money in a bank that thinks it's okay to do that, makes me nervous. So I closed both PayPal and Venmo. I didn't use them much anyway so it was easy for me. Other people will have a more difficult time.

  • truckers_wife_1 just_a_truckers_wife (@truckers_wife_1) reported

    @silver_screener @Kryptobish @PayPal At least we will stand up and you libitards do is lay down and roll over

  • sevens805 Sevens (@sevens805) reported

    @AP @Cernovich All these accidents… PayPal publishing their own terms and services was an “error” too.

  • JoshuaBrunken Joshua Brunken (MultiVerse Variant) (@JoshuaBrunken) reported

    @RealYeshua1 @RonFilipkowski @syzygy10 Thus why #Paypal cracking down on fake Rapture ministers on YouTube & Rumble & Tiktok & Bitchute & Facebook & or R fake Watchfolks who live off PayPal donations as a "job" is a good thing. Coughs, most #PaypalGoWoGoBroke folks R mad they can't scam Christians anymore on YT

  • Tracey5634 Tracey (@Tracey5634) reported

    @VernonForGA @PayPal I shut down my account immediately! Bye, bye, PayPal!

  • Dave09791877 Dave (@Dave09791877) reported

    @PayPal Do you have issues with payments today

  • IndrekLobus Indrek Lobus 🇪🇪🇺🇦 (@IndrekLobus) reported

    @sugarcubedog2 Thanks! But I made a 60+ euro donation a few days ago but it seems there was a problem with the paypal payment. I’ll try again as soon as I’m sure the payment didn’t go through. It’s been two days now. So I guess it’s time to try again. 🙄

    Be the glitch in the Matrix Not the PayPal kind of glitch— oops, I didn’t mean to say I was going to steal your money for wrongthink! Be The Love Glitch

  • BiggiesTake K9 Protection (@BiggiesTake) reported

    We no longer accept payments from @PayPal Or @Venmo As an American Owned Business and American Citizen we will not do business with companies who piss on the freedoms of Americans' Constitutional Protected Rights. With all the proofreading it was not an error. They got caught!

  • JessaZombii Jess ☠️🎮🌙 (@JessaZombii) reported

    @shmanders_ Use PayPal, don’t directly use your card through their website I was having major issues. PayPal worked right away

  • kadeen__ Kadeen (@kadeen__) reported

    @iamshats @_jenjs I’ve had that issue for years. I just cash out with Paypal

  • GameGodsend Godsend GameDev (@GameGodsend) reported

    @montymiff @ScottAdamsSays can you think about the big picture? its not about misinformation, its about Paypal deciding what is worthy of a 2500$ fine or not. for now it might not affect you....but down the road they might decide speaking against them is "misinformation". $2500 fine.

  • JessaZombii Jess ☠️🎮🌙 (@JessaZombii) reported

    @dhutchens32 @Ticketmaster @LiveNation Was having the same issue. Both my cards wouldn’t process. Then I used PayPal, got right in! Try that, good luck 🤘🏻

  • StarfishSammi Sammi Starfish (@StarfishSammi) reported

    @realmichaelseif It is impossible for paypal to win me back after this. I go to my grave having never again used their server.

  • AwakeYet20202 2nd Protects Children, Use it (@AwakeYet20202) reported

    The palpay issue may have let the cat out of the bag.. Folks need to be considering now.. What if the other credit cards decided to follow suite with this agenda? I canceled PayPal when they would only allow me to add money with my bank account years ago..
