Sorry if this is an already known topic (I couldn't find it on here). Since beginning of this year I noticed that Steam/Valve or rather PayPal forces you to accept the Facebook Data Policy by receiving the receipts in their messenger when purchasing games (pictures further down). At first I tought this was maybe a mishap on behalf of PayPal or Valve and canceled the transaction to repeat the purchase, this time without the prompt to accept the policy of Facebook. To clarify, I have no Facebook account because of privacy concerns (big news, huh?). Today I noticed unfortunately, that this behaviour is still present as of writing this post. Also it seems that I am not the only one getting these prompts when using PayPal as my payment provider as there are already these community threads on Steam and Reddit: Steam-Commuity-Thread by Nelly (dated March 7th, 2023) - LINK Steam Thread Reddit-Thread by u/HELPMEIMBOODLING (dated February 18th, 2023) - LINK Reddit Thread Within the Steam-Thread it was recommended to unlink your PayPal-account from any Facebook-account but the users in the Thread and myself were not able to find any linked FB-accounts within our PayPal. As a workaround it was recommended to try to purchase without storing the payment information to avoid this perticular pop-up, which does not seem to ask for Facebooks permissions. Another would be to not use the Steam-Client but a ordinary browser to process the payment within steam. I have tried several checkout options myself and have following results with attached screenshots: (please note that some screenshots may have been edited to hide sensitive information and to consolidate scrollable content from paypal for better format): Checkout using PayPal (not the "My PayPal" selection in Steam), like I would buy first time via PayPal on Steam and choosing to save the payment-information (checkmark before heading to PayPal). Paypal then asks you to accept Facebooks Data Policy without any visible other option except cancelation of the purchasing process: Checkout using PayPal, exactly the same as above without restarting steam. This time PayPal doesn't seem to ask for any permissions for Facebook. I assume this process differs a bit as the Steam-Client already has my PayPal-Login cached locally which also resulted in me only needing to reauthenticate my MFA: Completely restarting the Steam-Client and repeating the process as described results in first case, again asking to agree to Facebook's Data Policy. Checkout using PayPal (not the "My PayPal" selection in Steam), like I would buy first time via PayPal on Steam and choosing NOT to save the payment-information (no checkmark before heading to PayPal). This time we get a different PayPal-dialog (similar to any single-purchase process where you only consent for a single transaction) where no agreeing to any policy from Facebook is requested: I wasn't able to get in touch with any party (Valve or Facebook) yet but wanted to ask you first if you had any similar experience?

On the 23rd of April I ordered a keyboard on the official Keychron website. And at the following day I received the following E-Mail: PayPal was my method of payment and I followed the described procedure. Roughly 4 hours later I got a ping on my PayPal app that someone was trying to log into the account from a new location. I live in the middle of nowhere in Germany, but the attempt came from Berlin (upon further inspection, likely a VPN proxy). This account has not seen any other use for several days before. Please see this as a warning and potential warrant for support on how to properly deal with this situation. *This post is a copy of a Reddit post I made on the (sadly) unofficial Keychron Subreddit. Please excuse me if I accidentally broke a rule on this forum, since I don't really post on here, but I need the best advice I can get on how to proceed

I will open UK PayPal business account For sell service on internet I will face any limitations on account or taxes or holds or something like that? I don't want to be surprised by something that can't be skipped

hey guys, i found a cheaply priced RTX card on fb marketplace and asked the seller to ship it to me, he accepted and i told him i use paypal goods and services only, and he said thats fine as thats how he receives his payment usually. i checked his fb commerce profile and it shows many items marked as sold dating all the way back to 2019, he also mentioned that he's a trusted paypal seller, so paypal would release the money into his account before i receive the item, even if payed by goods and services. can paypal accounts be bought? like could it be scammer who has a trusted paypal account and when i send the money and get scammed i wont be able to get my money back since they wont be held but would be already released in his account as a trusted seller? what do you guys think ?

hey guys, so i sent money to a seller on facebook using paypal goods and services and now hes telling me he cant use the money as its showing as pending and he wants to return the money because he doesnt want anything to do with it now after getting to know that he has to wait till i receive the item and confirm that its all good, now i really want that item, is there a way from my side to make the money available instantly before receiving the item so the seller can go ahead and ship the item already as hes hesitant that i will scam him and get a refund after he ship the item. TL;DR : i want to make the money i sent by paypal goods and services available to the seller asap even before i receive the item

Hello, I want to make a payment to a website and the website has PayPal payment there is also an option to use a credit card to make that payment. So can I just make a payment using my credit card or do I need a PayPal account because the website says only payment from the following account would be approved i just put my email there but I dont have any PayPal account. The screenshot is attached for better understanding.

xpost from r/paypal on reddit Hi, I have recently bought a graphics card off of someone on offerup thru a Paypal sellers invoice using my debit card (to avoid steep offerup fees). In the past when using the exact same debit card in the same fasion, its instant and they can receive the money instantly. This time, the invoice was pending for 3 days before the seller just said screw it and shipped it off. He still has no option to accept the money even though my account has been charged. When I contact paypal, the virtual assistant says that the money has been sent, but not claimed, even though he has no option to claim it. I think it may be related to the value of the item and/or that he is a new seller (its ~$350 and this his first paypal invoice ever). Please if anyone has any answers or can confirm this suspicion let me know, he is getting a bit worried that I have scammed him or something, and he also needs the money quick to get a new gpu for himself (his computer is useless atm).

Source: The Verge After the recent acquisition of Honey, the money-savin', discount-searchin', coupon-findin' browser extension, Amazon has been notifying Amazon users that Honey's browser extension is a security risk and encourages Amazon users to uninstall the extension. The official warning reads as follows (or above in the quote if you wanted a visual): When interviewed by The Verge, Amazon initially stated their stance on Honey, but declined to elaborate. Reading on from The Verge's article on the situation, the journalist Dami who wrote this article perfectly articulates a theory behind why Amazon is so against the browser extension: Having recently installed Honey and finding literally zero results for it, I'm not compelled to re-install Honey any time soon. I do believe Amazon does have a point, but their point could reflect onto any browser extension, as browser extensions all track browser activity in some form. I agree with Dami that Amazon might just be feeling the heat from PayPal now owning Honey.

I was hoping to buy a couple of items but the website I wanted to use only accepted G2A. I have an account for it but I can’t find the top-up button or the deposit button. I already have PayPal linked so I don’t know why I can’t add money. I also have my phone linked so that shouldn’t be a problem either.

Just a quick question about amazon payments/shipping: I bought a Ryzen 7 1700x during Cyber Monday for $180(USD) when it's usually $210(USD). my card got declined so i had a friend paypal me some money he owed. How long will Amazon honor the $180 while i wait for the money to transfer?

So im working on this website for my missionary team and we want to set up a donation system. (for now we use paypal) We have a couple of different areas that we serve in and we have gotten many donations from people. The problem I keep running into though, is we need to set up a donation system in which the person donating can click a button for a specific ministry and his/her donation would go already preassigned for that ministry. I have been searching for a donation platform that can do this but I have not found any so far..... any suggestions?

Hi, I really wanted to get some money in my steam wallet to get plat in Warframe, because I got 80% discount. I talked with my mom and she was terrified that someone will steal her debit card somehow and we will lose money. I am trying to explain to her that Paypal is really safe platform and she doesn't need to worry about getting robbed. She wouldn't listen to me anyway. I started searching if there is a way to add money to Steam Wallet using phone, but I couldn't find anything that looks legit. Can someone recommend me a way to pay in steam without using any types of cards?

Hi, I wanted to apply for the paypal credit so i can pay my purchase within 6 months, but paypal always refuse me. I associated one of my bank account that has 800$ on it and i get paid like 150-200$ every week. Why did they refused me ? And how can i get accepted ? Thank you

Hi guys, I don't know if it's a good forum to ask this, but with th paypal credit 6 month no interest, how much money do i need to have? I associated one of my bank account with paypal ( 800$) on it and get paid like 150$-200$ every week, how much money do i need to have to use it ? When I try to apply they always say: ''Sorry, but you’re not eligible for PayPal Credit.'' Why?

I have no idea how this happened. I understand wanting to collect money that is owed but there no need to be a dick about it. If its an automated message maybe its more understandable but I'm confused since the letter mentions that the person is deceased so its not like its a completely confused bot. https://gizmodo.com/paypal-dying-while-owing-us-money-is-unacceptable-to-u-1827499095

Story Time: I purchased a specific laptop from Best Buy. It was supposed to be in excellent condition. The bottom panel came damaged. I purchased a new one, thinking no matter. Fast forward a few weeks of use, I notice from looking at other laptops that the display quality is quite poor. I go in my hardware settings to tune the colors, and find out the screen I was given was not the one listed in the Best Buy listing, and Best Buy will not work with me on resolving this. I have photo evidence of speaking with an employee and asking about the specific screen before purchasing. I am now no longer able to return the laptop nor get the screen I was promised put in by a Dell employee, as it is past their 30 day warranty. I open a Paypal dispute for a partial refund. I did not realize that closing a dispute to edit it does not work, that the case is considered "resolved" and closed, after speaking to a couple of supervisors with my concern. Fast forward, I proceed to open a dispute with my bank. It is rejected because the dispute is "authorized". I file a claim with the BBB after multiple claim rejections and incorrect filings, after submitting all the photo evidence I had and entire story, telling me the transaction was "authorized". After the BBB complaint, someone calls me from my bank. She gives me her number and name. I call her back, she submits my complaint as being a "Promotional Balance" and some funds were returned to my bank account. She told me she worked with some of her coworkers to have the complaint be put through as an "unauthorized complaint" because it was a special case of me not receiving the product I purchased. Here's where things get weird: I go in my Paypal today, and Best Buy has been notified to their PayPal email and will be given a chance to respond to the claim. Paypal has opened up a transaction dispute for the case and limited my account. Now I am afraid Best Buy is just going to prove that the purchase was in fact authorized. I thought my bank's decision put legal precedence/authority over Paypal, so why is a dispute now opened up automatically in Paypal maked as an "unauthorized transaction" and why is Best Buy being given a chance to respond? How should I proceed? Should I call the woman from my bank? Should I wait things out? I have had poor experience with Paypal customer service in the past, and assume they're going to twist or get confused by my words and just go "Oh, the transaction was authorized? Ok we'll resolve this in due time, thank you" and a day later, the case will be closed.

For the past few months, I have been getting charged $2.99 for FP and a $0.02 foreign transaction fee. I understand that there is a fee and that it's perfectly normal since money is going over the border to LMG/FPM. This last month though, I was charged a $0.06 fee. Are there some new rates that I am unaware of? I want an explanation as to why the fee would've tripled within a month.

Hello! I just wanted to ask if a person is under 18 years old, and their parents let the kid make a paypal on the kids name, what should they put for the date of birth? And of course, the kid has their own credit card.

Since coinbase removed paypal as an option to withdraw bitcoin to usd, how can i take out the 188$ I have of bitcoin in my wallet and transfer it to paypal??? and websites??? I can not use a bank account btw

So. If you read my previous thread then you know what is going on, if not then here is the short version. If anyone can help me get in contact with paypal i will pay you. Paypal keep not responding to my emails, they have blocked me on twitter, they hang up on my phone calls, delete my community calls. WHAT AN I DO, I HAVE HAD ENOUGH

I have an old paypal account but i cant access it since i forgot everything about it(old email,old phone number)and it takes time to get a new one going and i dont even know if they will accept the same debit card,it is really unacceptable that there is no direct visa-mastecard support,almost all online stores accept them the only people that dont are random ebay sellers that only want paypal.LTT shouls include more payment options.

Its been a hussle for me , ive always considered paypal as a safe way of earning/giving out money but according to some critics and videos , paypal is not that trustworth (?) So the question is , is it safe for me to link a credit card or bank account to paypal and purchase stuff online? And im not talking about phising and going to fake websites giving out info , im talking about the ability of one to hack my account and steal money , or if an ebay seller gets my info steals money and gets away with it.

I just joined Floatplane! This is going to be amazing!! Any tips or tricks needed?
