  @NoLimitGains Lol, I hate that stock. I still own a bunch but it's down 70 or 80 percent since I was a retard and bought it. PayPal is dying, regardless of ita fundamentals.

  @deobimom They added Google Pay (I think since PayPal was NOT working) and it works, but also if you have a Wise account you can do the bank transfer option and it works.

  @Pasta_Eclipse Hi!! If you got it through PayPal it'll say it charged the full amount but it only actually took the $3! If it's showing up in your bank that it took the full amount tho that sometimes happens as a glitch, and you should get a refund any minute, it's the same thing uber does 1/2

  @codeofvets @PayPal This is why I shut down my account years ago when they announced their new policy of basically "if we suspect you of anything or just don't like you we will close your account and fine you $1,200 completely at our discretion. There will be no appeal process so don't even ask."

  @MariaNafoFella They DM donation requests with a paypal account. They avoid posting the paypal details publicly because we'd be all over than and get it shut down/refunded. Genuine Ukrainian fundraisers will share a payment link publicly.

  @ZandoraVT It’s kinda not really their fault tho, it’s Paypal.. if the artist used vgen payment and faced this issue which it wouldn’t even happen bcz they can’t chargeback on a bank transfer or request refund without artist approval or vgen involvement I would definitely fault them

  my grandma has been lying about not knowing how to use her phone for THREE YEARS. every time we visited she'd hand it to me like a helpless baby and say "sweetheart i don't understand this thing." i'd fix whatever and feel like a good grandson. last month my cousin caught her on a facebook live selling handmade quilts to 847 people with ring lighting and a PayPal link in the comments. she has a whole persona. her name is "Grandma Betty Stitches" and she has more followers than me. she looked at my cousin and said "don't tell the boys, they like feeling useful."

  The Arcane Verse⚕️ (@Telephantix) reported 14 minutes ago

  @FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

  @COV_VP @codeofvets @stripe I did see this. After I raised the original issue. The new system is far better than PayPal. Just be aware that their system will try to add a company to your registration. They tried adding my Condo association to my registration because I pay dues online.

  @XLERBonX @TheBitcoin__ Banks and fiat control is why Bitcoin exists. But don’t expect Visa or PayPal to disappear—they’ll just adopt crypto to stay relevant. The real fix? Peer-to-peer, uncensorable money. The rest is ju...

  @FBIDirectorKash The biggest problems are the banks fraud protection. Countless times have I seen Bank of America and PayPal allow for these transactions with a victim profile of 60 yrs+

  Serious question... Has PayPal ALWAYS been this ******* ****? Locked out of my account for 24 hours. Rang the helpline - 'Sorry, there's nothing we can do, we're having issues with our system.' A score of 1.3 on Trustpilot seems generous.

  @dedes016 @ZakariaMDv3 @KKaaRRii2 They used to send me a PayPal invoice but they won’t do anymore. Last time I had to join PayPal’s XOOM app and it lets you wire funds directly to their bank in India $$. It sounds complicated but not really. The sellers are super polite and can text in English no problem.

  @PayPal I've been trying to get money off of your site and into my bank for like 6+ months and have run into issue after issue. I keep getting told "oh just try again" and things get pushed down the line for another week.

  @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.

  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?

  Tried moving money out of PayPal Business. Even Gemini 3.5 Flash Extended couldn’t explain it after a long back-and-forth, even with full access to PayPal docs and Reddit. PayPal, your documentation and UX are broken: if an LLM cannot get it, regular users have zero chance.

  Why My Digital History Is Triggering Active Hacking Attempts on Anyone I Interact With (The Cost of Pirated Software) Since 2011, I had a habit of digital hoarding - collecting and testing cracked games and expensive enterprise software (AutoCAD, Autodesk, Ansys, Adobe) just to see them run. In college and later in my professional life, I freely distributed these terabytes of pirated software to friends and colleagues, completely unaware of the massive digital footprint and security liabilities I was creating. By signing into these cracked builds with my personal email, my credentials were leaked to respective servers and weaponized through data breaches, allowing bad actors to tie my email, unique username handles, phone number, and social media profiles together. The real-world consequences started falling like dominoes. In 2017, a friend’s startup was targeted with Google account hacks and an Autodesk audit after their residential IP address registered as a business entity using cracked software from me. When I joined the rocket startup AgniKul Cosmos in 2019, I distributed these software packages again. The fallout was severe: the entire team began receiving targeted, unknown messages on LinkedIn and WhatsApp phishing calls; our Wi-Fi became unusable unless restarted; and our founder's email was compromised to spam the team, forcing me to wipe and reinstall every office machine. I later found out the startup faced massive licensing fines after audit visits. Even after moving to a spacecraft design startup, the exact same disruptive patterns followed. The targeting escalated heavily during the 2020 lockdown. After noticing a suspicious Microsoft account login alert that perfectly correlated with an Argentinian "ethical hacker" visiting my Premium LinkedIn profile, I confronted him directly via InMail. That very night, a coordinated wave of login alerts hit my Reddit, PayPal, and other social media services. Because I use a consistent username across platforms like Twitter/X and LinkedIn, these actors have mapped my entire network. They’ve tracked my investor interactions, used malicious links in bio pages to harvest my home IP addresses (forcing me to rely on a VPN to restore normal speeds), and targeted my family members. Because of this relentless surveillance, I keep my current venture strictly in stealth mode and refuse to update my employer details on LinkedIn to shield my current team. This is a public apology and a massive heads-up. Recently, this targeting has shifted outward to anyone I publicly engage with. Whomever I interact with, reply to, or tag on Twitter/X is immediately seeing a surge in suspicious login alerts and hacking attempts on their own accounts. If you are interacting with me publicly, please enable robust 2FA, monitor your active login sessions, avoid clicking any random links, and stay highly vigilant. My past digital hoarding has turned into an active security vector, and I am sharing this so you can protect your data before they target you next.
