Paypal gone as a payment method from Facebook?


Recommended Posts

Hi guys basically my Mother used Paypal as a payment method for the odd thing on Facebook as of last night it seems the option has been totally expunged from facebook. Can anyone shed light on this, ALL the apps options for facebook have suddenly gone missing with no warning and if she goes to payment options in account settings she is being asked to put her debit card details in and buy facebook credits whatever they are?

Side note I am in the UK (if anyone from here could verify this id be much obliged. And I can no longer add Paypal on my account if I so chose. It's like the option to pay with Paypal for anything has been shut down without warning?

UK here - I still have PayPal as a means of payment both on Facebook and on my Facebook based Zynga games.

I don't get it... are they phasing it out? Can you go to your account payment options and see if it shows your Paypal information on my mothers its only showing add card. Anyone know what part of facebook support to contact my mothers not happy....

Sorry to bump so soon but anyone maybe these images will make it all more clear. Image on the left shows the fact there is no longer an option for my Mum to add a Paypal account to Facebook the second shows ONE of the games that up until last night had a Paypal option.

I've never bought anything on Facebook, but a quick visit to the payment settings page shows me this:

No options for paypal or any of the other options shown in your screenshot. Perhaps Facebook is moving to cards only?

Very confusing up until June first I am stating my mother never had facebook credits in her life or needed card details for to buy on facebook and no word from Facebook on it. My mother isn't a noob or anything but does dislike random changes the whole point of using Paypal is security and she as myself wouldn't want to trust Facebook with my card details if I can help it.

my guess is, something with the UK, maybe a law, rights to conduct business in the UK or something along that line, is probably why your mom doesn't have that option. (I'm just taking a blind guess there)

Perhaps facebook is cost cutting by removing paypal (avoiding fees?)

I have never attempted to buy anything from Facebook so I never knew it was an option to begin with.

Then I'm going with the game developers can choose what payment methods they accept

What you play? Does Paypal show up on your Payment methods bit as an option?

Zuckerberg would never do anything to cost facebook any money unnecessarily

I wasn't referring to games, I was referring to advertising - if you pay to advertise on Facebook, as I do, they still accept PayPal as a payment method
