I use Paypal Here about 10 times per week. 8 of those times, the card declines on the first swipe. Half of the time, I'll swipe it (insert card into reader) 5-6 times, and it won't go through. Then, I'll input the the information manually, and it goes right through. Sometimes it will work with 2-3 swipes. So, it seems to be a technical issue. I've contacted Paypal about this problem previously; they sent me a new bluetooth chip reader. Same problem. Worse part about it is my customers tell me that all of the transactions show up on their credit card statement. They will see 5 cancelled transaction for just one job. It's embarrassing and irritating. I use an Iphone 11, and I am going to dump this and switch to Square if this isn't figured out soon.
