Jade the Protogen (@AmodeusthePure) reportedUhh, so I have a problem…I tried to set up a PayPal account for Ko-Fi, but PayPal immediately flagged my account with suspicious activity as soon as I made it. I don't have an ID. What ******** do I do???
-
DigiVT 🌱🐾 Space Cat (@DigiiVT) reportedFun fact. Now that Stipe/Ko-Fi changed the way they check business information (in the EU). I am now stuck in a loop of: document shows my POBox, it does not accept POBox as a valid address, give private address, address doesn’t match document so is not approved... I already have a rich past of having problems with Ko-Fi and these payment systems, so I am kind of just done trying. Soon (in like 40 days) you will only be able to pay there with the PayPal options (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo etc.). If you would ever want to tip me and are unable to use these payment options; you can also use the donation tab on digivt. store or the spicy blue site 💙

BradStyleZ(Commissions Open) (@Dibujos_Dairaku) reportedI solved the problem to receive payments! I found an app that allows me to receive their payments and they can pay directly from their credit or debit cards without using Paypal thanks to @Mr_Sandman404 for helping me test the app!!

Panche I. (@PIsajeski) reportedIt's shocking how much hidden FX fees we're paying for currency conversions. This morning, Wise charged me €22.90 to convert €5,000 to USD = 0.46%. Despite the "cheaper FX" marketing, I decided to investigate what others charge for the same conversion. Many providers advertise "low fees" or "0% commission," but the reality is different when looking at the actual costs: - Wise: €22.90 (0.46%) - Revolut Standard above their free limit: ~€50 (1%) - Revolut on a weekend: ~€90 (1.8%) - My local bank: €75-100 (1.5-2%) - Western Union: ~€100 (2%) - HSBC retail: ~€175 (3.5%) - PayPal: ~€200-250 (4-5%) The best option charges 0.5%, while banks can take 2-5%. For €100K in cross-border transfers annually, this could mean €500 to €5,000 lost to fees. Some of these hidden FX fees from markups are buried in the displayed rates rather than being itemized separately. Here's the kicker: the conversion is just a database update - debit EUR, credit USD, all internal. Real money only moves when the provider rebalances its overall position. So a big chunk of what they charge isn't cost, it's margin. Could stablecoin rails fix that? They already do.

bren (@brenontheroad) reported@juanfranciscosq @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So you're basically saying exactly what I said at the start. Once a company grows to $1B, the owner should be forced to sell it to someone else. Once Elon sold Paypal, he has to stop working. Not allowed to invent anything for the rest of his life. Once Bill Gates invented Windows 95, he has to sell Microsoft and has to stop working too. Once Steve Jobs built the Apple 3, he can't invent anymore and needs to sell. Most people don't have a billion dollars to buy their companies, so they'll need to be split. 100 people buy it for $10M each. And all the way down it goes until the companies all the dumbest people in society own 0.001% each. So what happens then? These people are supposed to invent the iPhone? lol

Rogue Hillbilly (@From_The_Hills_) reported@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 *****.

Judy 🇺🇸👮🏻🐗 (@AFJudy70) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @stripe PayPal didn’t have a problem getting their share of veterans donations. Shameful.
-
Mason🛸PHM era (@ItsMaybeMason) reported@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
-
Gretchen Smith (@codeofvets) reported@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!
-
Siku🐺✖️ ~VENATOR~ (@sikuvious) reported@Mama_Succ @RianiEmberblade @stubafrica Thats why i try to immediately pull funds from paypal asap. I've seen too many accounts just be shut down randomly. Im not risking that happening ever.
-
Jack Raper (@JackRaper7) reported@RightScopee Not in a minute. They money will be spent to save way more than a 1000 livelihoods! Look at the vision, the success and transparancy and the facts of what this man is truly about and why the extra zeros matter. Elon could drop a million dollars at my feet and walk away and I am the poor MF that would chase him down to give it back and ask WTF just out of curiousity. Obviously I am an Elon fan and have been since his PayPAl days.

Liberty Eagle 🇺🇸 News (@EagleOfLibertyX) reported@GuntherEagleman @PayPal Big Tech has no problem processing payments for radical activists but kicks off a veterans nonprofit — the bias couldn't be more obvious.

Matthew Rife (@RifeTechnology) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal What happened? I saw that they locked you down this morning, but then saw that you got access back. They got you again after that?

E_A_L_II🇺🇲 (@E_A_L_II) reported@libsoftiktok @PayPal Paypal goin down hill...they have a policy if you use PayPal money to spread what they say is misinformation, you get fined like 2k a month or something...so if u used PayPal to buy a billboard that said the 2020 election was stolen, you would be fined.
