Aaron Ware (@aaronware) reported@johnofhousejohn I think it's a combo. Plugins being purchased by PE and devs rapid releasing. We had an issue with The Events Calendar Tickets. Literally couldn't setup PayPal. I may not like PayPal but they are a top online payments processor. Setting it up shouldn't be broken...

robert peachey (@RPeachey86) reported@KatrinaHelle Been in PayPal since 2023. Fortunate enough to have been able to average down. $80 is a good price, $40 off the low. Surely PayPal will reach $100 again on its own but CEO said turnaround would not begin till 2028. Rather go ahead and cash out at $80 then redeploy.

DFIR Radar (@DFIR_Radar) reportedJWR, an undocumented PhaaS framework linked to Chinese-speaking actors, uses AES-CTR encrypted WebSockets to give operators live keystroke-by-keystroke control over victims across 44 fake Shopify, PayPal, Apple, and Klarna pages. - The client engine runs in two modes controlled by window.__HOST_MODE: Host Bridge (parent page relays commands into a phishing iframe via WebSocket at path webSocket/QT/{sessionId}/khkjsahfjkwhakjlsdwdddddd88) and Content Mode (Vue.js app rendering 44 phishing pages). Operators issue 40+ named commands (to_card, to_2fa, tip_change_card, to_success, etc.) to steer each victim session live. Final exfiltration POSTs the entire cvvform object to api/open/the_final_interface. - Data harvested goes far beyond card numbers: SSN, passport and driver license images, up to three sets of website credentials, PayPal login, card PIN, browser fingerprint (IP, language, timezone, geolocation, cookies), and OTP codes intercepted in real time before the victim even hits submit. - The active smishing campaign delivers JWR via SMS lures impersonating toll authorities and postal services targeting Singapore 🇸🇬 and UAE 🇦🇪 victims. Operator-facing dashboard messages are hardcoded in Simplified Chinese 🇨🇳, consistent with the broader Chinese-speaking PhaaS ecosystem. Talos assesses with medium confidence JWR is a variant of The Outsider, a PhaaS platform disrupted by FBI Operation Ghost Hook in June 2026. #DFIR_Radar

GeekyHairyBestia (@GeekyHairy) reported@PayPal does ur resolution Centre use AI or something. How can you refuse a claim for having a delivery of over 30kg of RAW DOG FOOD delivered rancid because they shipped it on a Friday so took 5days instead of next day to deliver and vender states not their problem as it a MEAL.

Tevin Macharia Mukabana (@TevinMacharia) reportedYou know, since PayPal blocked my account with money in it and there is nothing I can do about it, I have been wondering how we are victims of the systems of this world and sometimes there is nothing we can do. Imagine how one simple block can take you back to finding a way to eat and finding a way to restart your business again !! And this is a sign one day ,Your money won't be safe in the bank .. You will need a chip to use banks . This thing called money. You cannot appeal. You cannot withdraw your money. You cannot access what belongs to you. And eventually, they can use the money to pay their charges and fees. It is unfortunate that even as children of God, we are still living within these systems. And experiences like this make me think deeply: How many people will survive when the mark of the beast is introduced? Today, it may be a financial platform blocking your account. Tomorrow, it could be a law. A rule. A digital system. A currency. A condition attached to your ability to buy or sell. Think about it. When laws and rules are established, what happens when you cannot follow them? What happens when a new digital currency comes with instructions and conditions? What happens when the system says, “If you don't accept this, you cannot buy. You cannot sell. You cannot transact. You cannot live normally.” And what happens when obedience to that system means disobedience to God? This is why the issue of the mark of the beast should not be treated as a joke or something we only talk about in church. Revelation 13:17 says that no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. I don't know exactly how everything will unfold. But I know this: The world is becoming increasingly dependent on systems. And when systems control access to money, businesses, food, transactions, and even basic necessities, we need to understand the times we are living in. As Christians, we cannot put our ultimate trust in money, banks, governments, companies, digital platforms, or financial systems. Our ultimate trust must be in God. Because there may come a time when choosing God will cost you something. It may cost you access. It may cost you comfort. It may cost you money. It may cost you opportunities. And ultimately, it may cost you your life. The question is not only, “Will I survive financially?” The deeper question is: “Will I remain faithful to God when obedience becomes costly?” May God prepare us spiritually. May He give us discernment. May He give us courage. May He give us the grace to stand when the systems of this world turn against those who refuse to compromise. Because at the end of everything, our hope is not in money. Our hope is in God.

🎀 𝐵𝑒𝓉𝒽 🎀 (@Bethsparepat) reported@Parker17Luna @PayPal It’s just an error. Try updating your PayPal app so this issue can hopefully be resolved.

R.Louis (@RLouis1397) reported@TonyClimate @eBay I absolutely hate buying from eBay. Slow shipping and customer support. Always pay with PayPal when using eBay and have a credit card as the primary payment method for two layers of protection. Always DYOR on seller. If a price seems too good to be true, it probably is.

VC Intern (@the_vc_intern) reportedPayPal paid approximately $4 billion for Honey in 2020. The browser extension had 17 million monthly users, worked across roughly 30,000 retailers and gave PayPal something it normally reached only at the end of a purchase: influence over what happened before checkout. That position created Honey’s value. Shoppers installed it for discounts, merchants supplied offers to reach those shoppers, and Honey earned money through affiliate attribution when a purchase occurred. Then MegaLag alleged that Honey sometimes replaced creators’ affiliate tracking with its own. PayPal said Honey followed industry practices including last-click attribution, but the explanation did little to stop the reaction. Honey has reportedly fallen from more than 20 million Chrome users to 12 million. Merchant relationships declined from roughly 35,000 to just over 28,000, while its coupon database fell from about 90,000 codes to 50,000. This is what happens when a marketplace flywheel reverses. Fewer users make the product less valuable to merchants. Fewer merchants mean fewer working offers. A weaker product gives the remaining users another reason to uninstall it. Affiliate networks added pressure. Rakuten removed Honey before later reinstating it with new protections, while Impact and Awin also took action. A creator lawsuit has survived PayPal’s attempt to dismiss it, although that is not a finding that PayPal is liable. PayPal bought Honey because it occupied a valuable point between product discovery and payment. The same position became dangerous once shoppers and creators began questioning whose interests the extension served. A $4 billion distribution advantage turned into a trust problem sitting inside 12 million browsers.
