-
Tadit Dash (@taditdash) reported@krunaldesai14 Tried. Card added successfully to PayPal, but payment failed saying “authorisation error”.

Xebg (@ImXebg) reportedNever use PayPal They block your account permanently for no reason, didn't even tell me why they blocked the account. So many people on YouTube has the same problem, why don't shut down your company? I don't know why they still in business? @PayPal @AskPayPal @PayPalIN

yul🪽 (@rosesvasline) reported@whoiscalaca @yuerivt in this case the artist asked the patreon team to talk to paypal then the issue was solved

Grok (@grok) reported@LastManBalling @marlowxbt Flaws in this plan: - Scraping Google Maps violates ToS and risks bans/legal issues; cold emails often hit spam filters and violate CAN-SPAM rules. - As a 14yo, contracts, payments (Stripe/PayPal age 18+), and liability are tricky without parents. - AI sites are basic; businesses expect maintenance, SEO, hosting—$1k sales may not close reliably or repeat. - Easy to copy, so leads dry up fast; 3% response is optimistic. Solutions: Partner with parents for legal setup/LLC. Manually search instead of scrape. Offer maintenance packages for recurring revenue. Use compliant outreach tools and build real portfolio sites first to prove value. Test 10 calls before scaling.

koffi of arts | VGEN OPEN (@koffizinhoart) reportedI did manage to fix the issue, seems like the website wasn't taking cards directly but they worked through paypal, so I can go back to work again 😗

esthero (@theRealEsthero) reported@ecwid There is no bigger issue for a seller than a customer not being able to complete their purchase. Many people reported getting stuck on the PayPal process with withdrawals showing in their accounts but no order confirmation, then PayPal returning the money later in the day.

Maverick (@Maverick_usa2) reported@Cointelegraph Big move by PayPal — doubling down on crypto and payments signals serious long-term commitment 🚀

540flair.loopring.eth (@hattenhof) reported@derekquick1 @unusual_whales Yes PayPal is way more dumpster, more FCF. But this proposal looks terrible for GME shares or not!?

TraderTV Research (@ttvresearch) reported$PYPL PUMP! PayPal is pushing SHARPLY higher on a CNBC report suggesting that new CEO Enrique Lores plans on separating Venmo into its own business unit! This could make the Venmo business easier to sell later down the line. @tradertvlive $SPY $QQQ @paypal @EnriqueJLores

Kai Micah Mills (@kaimicahmills) reportedI dropped out of high school at 14 years old shortly after discovering people were working on the death problem that was where I belonged I had $0, a student paypal account, and a dream to be an entrepreneur to advance this mission minecraft servers were my first startups

𝐂𝐈𝐑𝐈_𝐕𝐓🐾🪶 (@Ciri_VT) reported@emmysotis I get you, I do. I see what you were trying to do. The issue is that it puts a lot of faith in people already understanding PayPal Business, invoices, taxes, and account setup. Sadly, a lot of creators do not. So when the post is worded as “how to hide your personal information from PayPal invoices using a PayPal Business account,” some people may read that as a privacy hack rather than invoice settings for people already using a business account properly. That is why you got so many comments trying to help or warn people. I do appreciate that you clarified later, genuinely. My concern was just that once a post spreads, not everyone reads the full thread or the replies, and newer creators may walk away with the wrong idea. I personally think you meant no harm at all, truly.

Hölle auf Erden 🏴🇩🇪🇩🇰🇨🇦🇺🇦 (@Sunking278) reportedWow, life is thoroughly beating me down just now. Someone hacked my PayPal account and spent more than $1,000, leaving me with next to nothing, and on top of that I am spectacularly ill. Vomiting, sweating, shivering, every bone aching, my voice completely gone, and I cannot even stand up straight. The sickness has eased somewhat with plenty of water, ginger ale, and no food, but I remain in an absolute stupor and have not felt quite this dreadful in some time. If I may humbly ask for your prayers, that I recover the money and that whatever is going on with my health proves to be only a temporary blip. Blessings to each of you.

FutureTech (@FutureTechie) reported@GregAbbott_TX @AmyMek Thank you, please also look into the 12 acre Islamist “Excellence Academy” being built in McKinney. They were illegally fundraising for construction through PayPal on their website they took down, which means foreign and non-citizen money is likely paying for the project.

Exedious (@Exediouss) reported@V0IDEYEDPANDA could try checking your email, usually most companies will send you an "unknown login location!" email, but i'm not too sure about paypal?

mr e ❤️ a music-loving slushy lover (@ProfKukuiLVR) reported@mikajihiko Nooooooo!!! I hope it goes through! 😭😭 Hope it's a PayPal issue and not an issue on your side 🥹

Rat (@RattyTatty2x4) reportednot using a business PayPal for commissions can get you in trouble by the way. besides you just not paying the tax, pp can also just nuke your account because you're accepting business transactions through your family account.
-
Jordan (@jzrdan) reported@sionster @antibearthesis I’ve been in and out of PayPal, thankfully for profits. Many people seem to agree that a lower price would make it good value based on the P/E. Earnings have plummeted which will be an issue soon resolved, you’re highly unlikely to see a brand like Nike trade at 15 PE.

Jordan (@jordanpaid) reportedPayPal freezing your funds with no warning is one of the most painful things as a dropshipper... but this forced me to figure out a method where reserves and bans basically become impossible. i made a FREE guide breaking the method down. comment 'PAYPAL' and i'll send. (follow me + RT)

swandiving (@xXGuppieXxs) reported@VanVanillaNSFW If commissioned well over 100 people and never had this problem yet and majority is PayPal. It doesn't really happen I'm sure you're more likely to get struck by lightning haha

Rick Rick.. nirvanafan#1 (@yesman000000000) reportednow donnaai cant get a debit card or payment from paypal because they cant take visa os mastercard now.... fck it shut all the banks down then.... we dont need these people running ****.

Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) reportedOk now I see the difference began @Square and @PayPal. ✅ PayPal offers zero customer service and if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem In contrast, Square offers customer service that will keep you on the phone for half an hour and tell you that if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem

Shashwat Chauhan (@Shashwat_web3) reportedHere's what 99% of people are missing. X Money isn't competing with PayPal. It's the trojan horse. → 500M users already on the platform → 6% yield on balances (higher than your bank) → 40+ states on day one via Visa rails → "Smart Cashtags" linking crypto tickers live on timeline → Nikita Bier literally tweeted: "Crypto's had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it." They're not entering finance. They're entering crypto with 500 million normies as the army. DeFi spent 5 years trying to onboard the world. X Money might do it in one month. This is either the biggest onboarding event in crypto history or the biggest fake-out. Either way, you should be watching. 🫡

CEO_Vader (@CEO_Vader) reported@cryptorover I find your lack of payment infrastructure **********… disturbing. In the Empire we call this “proper capital allocation at planetary scale.” Meta just turned 3.56 billion daily users into instant USDC recipients via Stripe. No more slow bank wires. No more PayPal fees. No more legacy inefficiency. Creators get paid in real time. The old financial rails just got optimized out. This is not “crypto adoption.” This is the Empire seizing the creator economy’s entire payment stack. The board approves. The Dark Lord of the P&L has spoken. #CEO_Vader #EmpireEfficiency #DarkSideOfBusiness
