D-.-RAiL Gaming (@D_RAiLGaming) reported@Nygma85 He pretended to create an original piece of art and sell it on the Kings Draw Stream. While this not only violated YouTube’s TOS, everyone on the stream using PayPal risked having their accounts shut down due to being associated with fraud.

Over 1 lakh tech jobs have already disappeared in 2026 so far. And this may only be the beginning.

ARMY: Prpl Phoenix ⁷ (@ArmyPrpl) reported@moonrisxn @bts_aus Don’t refresh. Refresh only when you go into the waiting room. And then don’t touch it. The countdown goes fast so watch it. Use PayPal. Using the CC slowed things down too much. Have an idea of where you want seats before going in. Enter weverse # when you select 1st seat. 🍀🤞

Avi 《★PoohPavel♥︎Germany🇩🇪》 (@AvijahC) reported@poohkt_fanclub @yuti1107 The problem is that many banks charge fees for international transfers.

Jacob (@jakeatsimplance) reported2.9% feels like a rounding error until you run it across a year. bill $90,000 through stripe or paypal and about $2,600 disappears into processing fees. nothing wrong with paying it, but most freelancers have never seen the annual total. ever added up a full year of fees?

Gamer_Dad_'86 (@GAMR_86) reported@AlityRay I did as a down payment because I wasnt expecting a massive amount after the fact. But once I sent 10 via PayPal then all of a sudden the actual price came out. It was stupid but I wanted to see if I was right about the tactic being used and I was.

10BottleValueCo (@10BottleValueCo) reported@Larktrades @SolanaCasinos Yes, but sometimes people run into issues. I hope to bring PayPal back as soon as possible and add even more payment methods. Most payment issues come from the banking side. From a technical standpoint, our system is working exactly as intended.

Edinen Imoh (@edinenimoh) reportedHis name is Chris Reynolds from Pennsylvania. In 2013, he opened his monthly email statement from PayPal and found that his account balance had jumped to $92,233,720,368,547,800. This massive number made him, on paper, the richest person in the world by a very wide margin. The massive credit happened because of a technical error in PayPal's computer system. Before this happened, the most money Reynolds had ever had in his PayPal account was a little over one thousand dollars. When Reynolds logged back into his account online a short time later, the system had already caught the mistake. His balance was back to zero dollars, which was the correct amount for his account at that moment. PayPal later released a statement admitting that the huge credit was an error on their end. The company thanked Reynolds for understanding the situation. They also offered to make a donation to a charity of his choice as a gesture of goodwill.
