  Today a designer in Buenos Aires getting paid by a US client has 3 bad options: • Wire → 3–5 days + $25–50 fees • PayPal → 8%+ taken • Crypto → confusing, needs SOL/ETH for gas, public addresses leak income None of these feel like a normal wallet. We fix that.

  @redcurses please stay confident;your paintings are irreplaceable, including the concepts you have given them. I regret that I was unable to submit a submission this time, and perhaps next time I will consider entrusting someone else to purchase it for me to resolve the PayPal issue. 😭

  @PayPal in spite of setting a default card, you keep withdrawing from the wrong account . Problem did not exist earlier. Why are you making this worse?

  @anna_gcrf Yeah there's an interest free thing on PayPal atm so i'll probably get that, the issue is I get disqualified for a lot of things because I can technically stand and get to the bathroom even though I functionally can't do anything else. Which is really frustrating.

  I APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE WHO MADE A PURCHASE AND HAS NOT YET RECEIVED ACCESS TO THE DOWNLOAD. THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO MY "ITCH IO" ACCOUNT LINKED WITH "PAYPAL", WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER A REVIEW PERIOD. I EXPECT EVERYTHING TO BE WORKING PROPERLY BY TOMORROW.

  @santhemu_ @iamjoseh_ I have this, but the problem is that it's not linked to paypal withdrawals, the other one ndio iko na hiyo feature. I don't understand how they separate these things.

  @arbel_amir The thing with Pinterest is, the product is fantastic, the user growth is consistent (10 straight quarters) and they have a meaningful differentiator with their 80B monthly queries across images. The issue is management, I did not expect Bill, who came as COO of PayPal and founder of Venmo, to be so reactive. The issues he laid out in the call are all rudimentary issues (losing big advertisers) and his reaction of hiring more sales team and upping the GTM strategy is something that could have been done months prior and not just in Q1'26.

  @ProofOfCash @lightning This is where the problem is. The gigantic gap between what a Dev and a normie think is so simple and easy. Do you agree lightning is almost exclusive used with PayPal clones?

  @xHeraKita @AskPayPal Why would anyone use your service if you lock accounts without any legitimate reason? Fix your ****.

  @Abby_Sariah Call them. But if it’s like PayPal, they just keep telling you to login to your account that you can’t get into. Ugh. Sorry.

  My PayPal banned. The account that I depend on promoting and sell my art got deactivated. My account have such low impression, maybe because my art sucks. I have 5 unfinished major works. And I have a major problem with my family relation. I'm going to kill myself.

  @ShadirHS @Maalcrom @Wowhead But like I said, Blizzard can impede them in other ways. They may have already sent a C&D to Paypal, explaining why the donation page is down.

  @PayPal are you trying to make it so hard for ppp to pay their bills online therefore we rack up late fees? Whats up with your terrible web design that seems to be intentionally obscuring the bill pay mechanism? Which even after calling yall, I have not located.

  @Austen I feel like we are at the stage before people trusted paypal where "there's no way i'd trust the internet with my bank account information". Slow and steady, then all at once.

  @ecutruin @Xurran @PayPal unfortunately , you are entitled to the artist's process when that artist is selling it as a product to you , that is the point of a commission ☺ it is an artist's responsibility to accommodate you when you are purchasing a custom work from them , and once more , in this particular process the "artist" here *did* share their "progress" however it was not authentic and they continued to story that the art work was their own work without any generative AI tools used lastly , human beings are not omnipotent , so it is not viable for us to magically generate some sort of mind reading ability of foresight to tell the future as to whether or not someone is going to go back on their word or lie outright , the point remains still yet: even if you *did* make an agreement beforehand , that person can still lie , they don't have to honor their word , which is still not the fault nor responsibility of the client when the liar turns out to be the artist who was peddling a product that was dishonest , this is the very core of a "scam" what is the client meant to do ? interrogate them ? there is no guarantee of the truth , even still , the artist continues to double down , this is one particular scenario and though you are attempting to make some kind of blanket statement to defend the potential usage of AI still makes no difference here unfortunately the artist was deceptive , and agreements beforehand or after the fact made no difference , because the artist was questioned and denied the claims , and continued to be unable to produce a commission with the details requested in accuracy , instead what was delivered was inconsistent with what was advertised and the artist's behavior and "progress" provided contradicted the artist's own statements i don't disagree with the latter part of what you are saying , and some people do trace AI , you're right about this , i'm not going to get into a debate about whether it's right or wrong because it has nothing to do with the scenario . artists sometimes trace over real life references or even pictures they took of their selves for poses , sometimes models will model poses and allow artists to use it as a base for free or for cost , so i understand what you're saying . sometimes people are forthcoming about it and other times they are not , sometimes there are people out there who even trace over other artist's works without permission and sell it as their own no AI involved , but we cannot blame clients if the artist is the one who holds the responsibility to be honest about it when it comes to using AI , and the person was not drawing over AI - the luxray had 5 legs , absol has 4 eyes , even if you traced over AI to assist your art work then anyone can debate that elsewhere , but a person who is paying attention to what they're doing is not going to include these blatant mistakes , and there are even more to list . some people are still not able to easily spot AI , and they don't understand; it's still new to some , and it's still new to my friend here , people have to learn to spot it and make their choice as to whether or not they are going to support or or avoid it . but regardless of that , the artist explained away even these glaring issues as her own works , which , if it even had been true , then perhaps there is even more of an issue than the simple usage of AI . still , this is the whole purpose of making a TOS , which the artist must do; it makes no sense for that responsibility to be on the client , because it is not their business and they are not the ones who are held to account for the invoices . if you're trying to say that commissioning someone in good faith without witnessing a TOS first is unwise , then i can't entirely disagree with you , but the responsibility is still on the person who was dishonest . people may try new things and be unaware , and that's just something that happens . i've been scammed before by people who didn't even use AI , this was well over a decade ago and AI wasn't really a thing - they just simply chose not to complete the commission . i don't bear any resentments towards them or anything , so i'm not attempting to detract , i'm just saying that we cannot always prevent or predict what someone is going to do to us , so it's unfair to expect a client to be all knowing , they are not running the business , they are merely a patron and if the business owner takes advantage of the patrons , then who is at fault ? we can only know what we know until further information is revealed , and the artist here was still revealed to be deceptive in the end . perhaps it is a learning lesson for the client , sure , but for the artist , if they are not willing to operate truthfully , what can be done ? there is no willingness to change the structure of the business nor admit to the fact that AI was used , she's already determined that , which cannot be helped . we cannot force others to concede , but stand by our own convictions

  @PayPal I have some issues with your service it forces me unwillingly to use my full government name during transactions and I feel this is a breach of privacy if you do not handle this I will no longer use your services thank you

  Paypal denied my claim stating a reason that has nothing to do with my issue. NEVER again will I use paypal. @PayPal @AskPayPal Paypal did NOT take care of the customer in my case so BEWARE when using Paypal.
