do not trust PayPal. All scammers use it. That’s why they don’t verify the accounts.

Do not use this app. They randomly hold your money. Then blame on other bank. Then when you find out bank did verify. they still hold. Then they try and make it your fault. Best way is zelle. Cause they own venmo to. PayPal is a joke. The Indian receptionists are very discriminatory towards American. They will purposely let you suffer even though they can credit a account or clear emergency transaction. They will just choose not to because they dont like you. Use zelle or cashapp.

Used to be great. Now, it's become an advertising platform more than anything. I've used PayPal since the beginning and am disappointed another good thing is being consumed by the greedy advertising engine. Still does what I've used to for so it does get 3 stars, but I almost dropped to 2 over it.

"We're sorry, this beta is not available for your account yet." Fantastic. I did nothing. The app used to work, now it can't even be updated from the app store. Solid work. Don't reply with "We're sorry you're having trouble, let's work together to fix it." I shouldn't need to interact with a help desk to work this app. Fix it. Meghan - not even to that point yet. just trying to USE THAT APP. Haven't even gotten as far as making decisions on what fun ways I can utilize it.
