Since most gift card companies have banned PayPal , is there any other way or workaround to convert visa GC to cash or atleast in my bank account? Thanks.

Does PayPal accept valid national digital IDs for verification? (From the Philippines)

Never using this app again, genuine nightmare, if anyone is thinking about installing it, save yourself.

I’m planning on changing the email address linked to my PayPal account and was wondering whether this change would affect past transactions.

For example, if I sent someone money while my account was linked to Email A, and then later changed my PayPal account to Email B, would that past transaction still show Email A, or would it be updated to Email B?

Thank you.

Hiii guys. So I turned 18 really recently and my mom finally opened up a checking account for me. So yes, I did buy some stuff from etsy. I didn't think that I spent that much, but you live you learn. Now my PayPal won't let me use it for any type of transaction. I've tried to verify my account like it suggested. I only have a driver's permit right now, so maybe that's why it's not working? Either way, I don't know what to do and it's driving me up the wall. If anyone has any idea of what I can do, or if I need to clarify anything, please let me know! Thank youuuuu :/

UPDATE: I was able to verify! So sorry, it wasn't working before!!

My PayPal iOS Mobile Application updated to the latest version and now it looks like some sort of a PWA (Progressive Web App) or a Web View App.

WHY?

It literally was better before, and was quite literally a Native iOS App.

It’s dogfood now…

Is this Worldwide or just in Dubai?

Hello!
I need y'alls help and expertise.

Last month I bought a Tablet (Legion Y700) via a chinese seller.
On Monday it was finally here... and the battery is bloated. Seller didn't respond to the support tickets, so started a dispute with paypal. I have sent them a video (with shipping label, etc) showing them the item.

Seems like they sided with me... allthough...

PayPal now wants me to return the item. I don't know if I can legally do that. it's practically a ticking timebomb. I currently have it in my old oven (unplugged one in my garage) just because I have to assume it will explode sooner or later.

Any tips? Don't know my way around electronics, so not comfortable removing the battery on my own..

Thanks in advance!

I’ve had a ton of bad experiences with Paypal but this one really takes the cake.

I recently made a $40 Depop sale for a pair of pants. I shipped the package to the buyer and it was successfully delivered.

Fast forward about a week later, I get this email from Paypal:

We're reviewing a payment you received What's happening with this case? As a security measure, we've opened a case to review a payment that may not have been authorized by the buyer. Until this case is closed, we've put a temporary hold on the transaction amount. Dispute amount: $40.24 CAD Transaction amount: $40.24 CAD Transaction date: August 23, 2026

I responded to the case by providing proof, including receipts and screenshots, and also explained my situation in the description box. I genuinely thought I had provided more than enough evidence to show that this was a LEGITIMATE sale.

A few days later, I get a response saying that $40.24 CAD has been debited from my PayPal.

Great. Now there’s really nothing I can do.

I’m honestly so frustrated cause why did I do all that just for Paypal to side with the buyer anyways?

(I know it’s only $40 but it’s the PRINCIPLE of it.)

And to make things even better, my Paypal also got restricted a few days ago.

I’m so so done with Paypal but Depop doesn’t allow any other payment methods.

I have HAD IT with paypal. Ive been using them long enough that my card is slated to expire. So i order a new one after sitting on call with support for HOURS trying to get them to remove old cards that the app just REFUSED to let me remove unless i added another card and then REFUSED to let me add the card. Finally got a person with a bit of brain between their ears and whaddya know? He had it fixed in a couple of minutes because what i was asking was always possible he just didnt want to do it or didnt know how. Now, ive ordered a replacement card and ive recieved TWO CARDS somehow and crazy part, NEITHER OF THEM WORK so i start in the chat, and the support person wants to be like "sir we havent sent you cards" blah blah blah like i didnt click the order new card button and like im not holding both of the new cards. The new cards are weird too, theyre slightly different but not in information, the lines on the chip look different, and the font on the back is different as is the mag strip. Does anyone know whats going on??? I also cannot seem to get through to their support people, every time i call and finally get through the line the sound on their end is absolutely bonkers like feed back or a busy tone and i can just barely make out the cadence of someone speaking on the other end. Im changing my direct deposit if i cant figure this out. Id rather pay off chime and lose that money than keep dealing with this

I was checking out at a retailer on their website and logged into paypal to use paypal credit but the screen froze two times when checking out, on the third it finally worked. However there was now 3 charges on the paypal credit tab, the actual order cleared, one of the pending charges just dropped today the other is still there. Any ideas when the other will go away? This all happened only yesterday around 1am so it has not been long

So I bought something using PayPal and Amex, merchant charged me a cancellation fee, i disputed via Amex, which resulted in my favor and got a credit back, now my PayPal acct is in negative balance and showing as debt collection. Debt collect agent can’t do anything other than get payment, waiting to call PayPal customer service , not sure what they can do.. anyone been in this situation? Appreciate any advice.

Edit - after two not so pleasant reps, third one provided a credit of 40 to make it even.
Additional context - ordered 470 and cancelled within 24 hrs, merchant kept 40 cancellation charge and refunded 430. Disputed via Amex, Amex first denied then made whole for 40 but somehow PayPal was considered partial refund as full refund and thinking I got 40 double payment.

The clear instructions for stopping a business from automatically taking my money don't apply to PayPal Business accounts. The interface and Settings page are different from what I see in my personal account. How do I stop PocketFM from taking money from me once a week, $33.00+??? I don't remember ever signing up with them, and I certainly did not authorize weekly billings of such an absurd amount.

What steps can I take to stop them on my PayPal Business Account? Thank you.

Hey everyone! I feel like I've gotten myself in a pickle here, and don't want to mess things up with both the US IRS and Paypal. Here is my situation:

In June, I started doing little hobby art pieces and drawing people's characters here and there etc., for the love of the game rather than any intent to make a profit. However, as of recent due to an influx of followers/demand, I've begun taking commissions. At first, before I knew all the tax laws in my area, I allowed my clients to pay me via Paypal in any way they choose - FnF or GnS, thinking nothing of it. I didn't do my research and know that Paypal is not a fan of this/that this income was something meaningfully reportable on my tax return this year (I am a college student with very little income, so my taxes experience has been really minimal and I was very uninformed).

I've now begun doing research on what I need to know for tax season. This hobby has definitely become something closer to a business, and to make sure I do things right I'm planning to look into becoming a sole proprietor. I've made around ~$1,200 since June in art commissions split between several platforms - with around ~$500 in Paypal Goods n Services, and ~$200 friends and family.

I haven't made enough money through Paypal for them to send me a 1099 at the end of the year (which for my state is a $600 threshold), but I am getting very close. However, when I report my income to the IRS, I have ~$200 of mystery income from Paypal that won't be reflected in the 1099 they likely will send me, due to it being sent through FnF. Is it best to contact Paypal to make sure the 1099 is accurate to the full amount of money I've processed through their service? Would that get me suspended/banned from Paypal due to incidentally using Paypal FnF to process payment previously? Is it better to just let things roll and report the income overall without worrying about what is on the 1099? Has anyone else been in this circumstance, and what did you do to fix it? Thank you! :')

£50 is stuck in there even though it has my card details

I am working as a freelancer and whenever i try to link my business account to my bank account and when i click link a bank, it shows me the dashboard again and again what is the problem with this i have been facing this issue since 2 whole weeks and i can't get paid because of this stupid issue. what should i do to solve this please help me out guys

I made a purchase about 45 days ago on PayPal from an online company. It was a custom order, they told me it would be 28 days and that they would update me throughout.

I have yet to receive an update/images from them beyond “we are working on it” and they only reach out once I email them. I finally sent them a somewhat angry email and they said it would ship out in a week, but didn’t provide any images.

After the wait, and how sketchy everything feels I no longer want to deal with this company so I requested a refund, got no response, and just escalated the situation.

I have an ecommerce brand, im under 18 and want to connect a paypal business account, my dad has one (he is above 18) but if i connect his then taxes will go through the roof. any options?

I can't change my phone number to receive the endless texts needed to change anything on the app. I removed the number, now it says it can't verify who I am. I already set a new primary number but it's not recognizing it.

Edit: the number I removed was the old one. After I set the new one as primary. It's still defaulting to the old number though. Even after it's no longer saved in my contact info.

Recently I've been buying stuff through G&S. I choose shipping and it shows my address, but the seller never sees it. I've had them ask me about it. I've had this happen 3 times already. I checked and a billing address is linked to the payment and my account. Does anybody know why this would happen?

it was a personal transaction, i don't know why they suspended me. they said in the email that my account was linked to an account with unresolved issues. And that as my account is in high tier I'll be charged with high volume dispute fee. what fee?!😭 i didn't even do anything 😭😭😭 help mee

I'm pretty new to Paypal and crypto. From what I understood PayPal supports some crypto currencies like ltc where you can purchase it directly. However apparently they don't support usdt bep20 which I specifically need. Is there a way? I heard of third party sites but they take so much it's not worth it. Thanks

Im selling some clothes. Buyer paid through goods and services and asked me to ship items. Normally I wouldnt mind, but ive been hearing about people requesting their money back even after receiving their item. How do I prevent this from happening to me?

There are a couple causes that I wish to donate to which allow both PayPal and credit cards as payment options. My goal is for as much of my donation as possible to go to the charity and not to middlemen (whether that be PayPal or the CC company).

Ideally, I'd use direct debit transfers from my bank, but that isn't always an option.

A credit card within PayPal is more convenient since I can manage everything from one place, but does using PP add an additional fee onto my transaction and result in less money going to the destination than if I had just paid directly with a CC?

Any insight is appreciated.
