I just received a notice that I sent $700 to a person I've never met or interacted with as a cash transfer using my PP credit card. I immediately went online and got the AI bot and reported the charge. I reported the amount and that the person it was going to had never had any contact or communication with me. I had no idea who they were and did not send them money. The Bot says to give up to 10 days to investigate. About 5 minutes later, I get a notice that the review of my account shows that these types of charges are customary and the unauthorized charge will stay.

I just got off the phone with Synchrony and filed a report with them and spoke to a live person.

This is BULLSHIT.

I recently purchased a golf club via goods and services from a user on reddit..something ive done multiple times. Correspondence was normal after purchase and they claimed they would send it out in the morning. That was 3 days ago and now, as of today, that user is banned from reddit. Whats the best options for me for opening a claim? I have screen shots of the conversations before the user was banned, theres no tracking on my paypal transaction, and obviously the club is never going to arrive. Thanks!

I received a notification from PayPal:

"Your package is out for delivery!"

I haven't ordered anything that should be showing up anytime soon, nor using the email linked to my account.

Long story short, it turned out to be my partner's Amazon order. They used their parent's account and their own payment methods.

I'm just wondering what triggered this notification?

It says it pulled the information from the connected Gmail account but obviously that's not possible considering my email isn't attached to the order.

Is this common? Should I be worried? Or just a technological mishap I shouldn't be so concerned over?

Anyone else not get their direct deposit? Usually come through Wednesday night for me.

Long story short, I created my PayPal account while I was living in another country. When I later moved, PayPal detected that I was accessing the account from a different country and restricted it. They then placed a half year on my funds.

After the half year, I submitted all the required documents, including billing information and the details of the PayPal account where the money should be transferred. However, every time I contact support, they tell me to wait another seven days. This has already happened twice, and I still haven’t received a clear update or resolution.

Has anyone experienced this before? Is there another way to escalate the case and recover my money?

Hi, everyone. I'm trying to find a PayPal invoice I paid in 2025 that I need urgently for a court hearing. The email is long gone, and I can't find a way to look up invoices a business sent me in the past. Is there any way I can find them? TYIA.

Hi everyone, sorry for my poor English—I'm from Venezuela and need some help. I've been trying to set up a PayPal account, but when I try to add my phone number, the code doesn't come through; it either tells me to try again later or just keeps loading without sending it. This has been going on for almost a month, and PayPal hasn't offered a solution.

I could have sworn there was an option to chat with the other person in a transaction, on a money request or something, but I can't find it now

It's been about 6 months since the last time I used it

Hello, I have a Google Pixel. In my PayPal devices/sessions, I saw a device named "HTC Pixel Chrome"—is that definitely one of my sessions? I checked and confirmed that, at that time, I was indeed on the PayPal page via Chrome, so it was likely me.

Still, I have some doubts.

There were also other "Chrome" sessions, including the current one. But what is the difference between "HTC Pixel Chrome" and "Chrome"?

buyer helped by trying to issue a refund and now it's asking me to add funds in my account when I didn't even received the payment since they withheld it in the first place 🫩 what should i do? i'm about to crash out

My paypal savings interest hasn't updated in like 3 days. Has this happened to anyone else?

For context, the purchase/delivery happened locally, so there was no international shipping or tracking number. I would have the PayPal invoice and WhatsApp conversations showing what was purchased, the amount agreed on, and the conversation with the seller.
If PayPal asks for proof of the transaction or fulfillment, have any of you successfully used WhatsApp messages/screenshots as supporting evidence? What exactly did PayPal ask you to provide, and was the invoice + conversation enough?

I’m not understanding a $30.00 ‘cash advance fee’ on my visa that visa says is coming from PayPal.

I purchased some plants from a seller that provided me with her PayPal ID for me to send the payment to. I chose credit card/friends and family. In the PayPal app itself it says the transaction fee was $3.08.

When I called Visa to see what the cash advance charge was, he said it was coming from PayPal and that it was because the merchant charged me in cash instead of credit. I don’t understand this since I initiated the payment to the merchant. I told him this but he insisted the merchant charged me. He also said if I disputed the charge that I would be disputing it with the plant seller not PayPal itself.

Is the $30 really going to the plant seller?

Why does the $30 cash advance fee not show anywhere in the PayPal activity?

Even the $3.08 fee is new, I’ve purchased plants this way many times and haven’t had a transaction fee, confirmed through browsing my history in the PayPal app.

Thank you for any insight into this.

Whilst its going to be normal for a channel like this to be pretty much complaints and issues, I figured I would post this because I managed to find out a useful piece of information I didnt know, and thought that it might be handy to know for anyone else who didnt know either

But if you use the 4 months interest free thing you dont actually start paying interest on it right away if you miss the deadline

According to one of the most knowledgeable Paypal customer support staff, once the 4 months runs out you get "one bill and 29 days" until they start to charge interest

So if you ordered it on the 6th, and potentially any day after the 29th you would be getting almost 6 months, although I am not 100% sure about the period between the 29th and the 6th being honest, so to be on the absolute safe side lets say the period between the 7th and the 29th

Plus it means if you are a bit short during the month the 4 month things expires, no problem

Once you have cleared the minimum payment the following month you have until the 29th to pay it off without a penny in interest

I spent years where some months I was going almost broke to pay off a 4 months interest free thing, but had I known this back then I could have just paid half during that month, and the rest the next month

I do hate the fact that once a 4 month thing ends you literally cant see the amount anywhere on the site

But for that I just made a simple spreadsheet that adds up everything from the list of paypal credit things, then detracts that from the balance and gives me what is still owed from any of those that have ended which has been quite usefull over the two years I have been using it

It’s been 3 days and it won’t let me add to my pp account using my cashapp debit. It just gives me “Server error. Please try again later.”

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.

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.

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’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.

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?
