  @Colour_awr @_VGen_ @PayPal I had the same problem as you a few months ago, for a smaller amount, but neither VGen nor PayPal helped me. The scammer got away with it and received his money back. 🫩

  Hi @PayPal. I just spoke to Yasmina and Miguel. Yasmina was lovely. Miguel is a problem. He informed me that ALL PayPal does is hide your payment info from the vendor. He also refused to transfer me. My problem still exists, and will happen again. Can someone help?

  @OldGloryBank @johnrich Is there any sort of service you guys have or can create to help her. She's always used PayPal in the past, however I suspect like everything else now days her problem is being caused by an AI.

  @SarahisCensored @JinxedRealityX She has a PayPal pool up now and PayPal won’t let me report it, and when I try and escalate their “Report Pool” button not working, their AI bot won’t let me go farther.

  @catturd2 I was actually in the middle of helping a homeless veteran living in his van. As you can see I sent him $500. I was able to send him $500 twice. I was trying to get him $2K total but Paypal would not authorize the transactions and then decided to permanently shut down my account!!! Therefore half of his funds are locked down! Unbelievable!!! I have used Paypal for years to get emergent funds to veterans!

  For 3.5 years, trying Artie meant a 5-step sales process. Now it means 30 minutes and a database connection. In the past, you needed to book a call. Discovery, demo, scoping, POC, contract. The whole process. That's how enterprise data infrastructure gets sold, and it worked. But we just launched Artie Self-Serve. 14-day free trial. Sign up, connect your database, see real-time replication running. No call required. We didn't treat this like a product update. We made it a proper launch, video, full team, because it's a real milestone and a new chapter. There's a piece by @gokulr that's been in my head for years (Self-serve first: the overlooked but essential paradigm underlying great software companies). He does a great job of breaking down how a self-serve business is a mechanism for bettering your business from all angles. Every $50B+ business software company as of 2018 — Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Adobe, Booking, PayPal, Baidu, Alibaba, Intuit — built formidable, fast-growing self-serve businesses. Here's what I've already seen: self-serve changes the product. When customers can try it themselves, everything has to work in seconds. Onboarding has to be intuitive, from documentation to login. The product has to stand on its own, no hand-holding, no walking someone through it to answer questions. It also opens the door to a different customer entirely. Builders, small teams, engineers who want to evaluate something on a Tuesday night.

  @codeofvets @PayPal PayPal is straight trash. I had an account for years with no issues, then about 5 years ago they suspended my account and said they needed access to my email and social media accounts to continue. I told em to eat a bag of *****.

  @codeofvets @PayPal @stripe You are most welcome. I am so sorry that Paypal has let you down so badly, but hopefully Stripe will be more than an adequate replacement; so that your work doesn’t get interrupted again. PayPal needs to review its policies and they should think first before doing things.

  @PayPal your managers are extremely rude, I have spent 4 hours over the last week trying to sort a problem, I asked to speak a manager as after 6 colleagues not understanding or answering me question. He was extremely f'ing rude and I am fuming.

  @xskinn O shoot! I've been wasting all afternoon, renewing all my direct debits, because a wretched merchant took money out when I hadn't authorised it. New card, change all direct debits, find out PayPal is down......****. This is our world now, isn't it...

  @atmosphere1119 @iKaito_1 @Credit1493 It is, ive done it for like 2 months and have had no problems, I use PayPal so you have to manually change it back to jpy, pay, then go back to the original page, click the button saying the purchase has been made, and it'll immediately be in your account

  @wariocolosseum Musk was born in 1971. He first appeared on the Forbes Billionaires List in 2012 (around age 41) with ~$2 billion net worth.  He made significant money earlier: ~$180 million from the PayPal sale in 2002 (age ~31), but it took further successes with Tesla and SpaceX for him to solidly reach billionaire status. The “40 years” rounds up from birth but overlooks that meaningful wealth accumulation accelerated in his 30s–40s through entrepreneurship, not a slow linear grind.  Now he is making $1 BILLION every 15 minutes from SpaceX stock moves alone.”Exaggerated but directionally illustrative of recent volatility. Musk’s net worth hit ~$1.3 trillion as of June 17, 2026. This is paper wealth tied to stock price fluctuations, not realized cash income. It can (and does) go down. This post reflects the polarised online discourse from people spreading misinformation or partial truths, exaggerated by the misinformed.

  @ImBreckWorsham So true but I can one up you. I was trying to get a refund for a warranty issue on a keyboard I got my son. The only way they will send the refund is through PayPal. It’s like they are trapped in 2000 and can’t let it go.

  @What_is_Praise @catturd2 It’s a terrible process. After I complained enough I got a letter from PayPal basically telling me to sue the buyer if I felt cheated.
