  @Zarkos85 Hi @Zarkos85 — thanks for letting us know, and sorry for the trouble. It was a short-lived issue on the checkout page and it's fixed now; card and PayPal are both going through again. Please give it another try, and if anything is still off, open a ticket and we'll get on it.

  @Charlie088571 @YellowBunFeet Besides, towards the end of my NSFW trayectory, I lost my payment methods due to some stupid PayPal issue, and well, I had even less desire to continue. As I said before, it was a hobby, not a passion.

  Claude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

  @James_Jordan @bet365 Oops can’t * (not can in my previous tweet). Yeah the withdrawal likely has to go back to the manual card entered. Fix = deposit with Apple Pay again then withdraw (will force it back to Apple pay). Or just use PayPal for $5 and then you can withdraw back to PayPal.

  @solari_the They say cash is king, and it does grant you more freedom than a credit card or a PayPal account. Trouble is . . . products are not always available locally to buy with cash . . and online purchasing betrays your privacy.

  Apparently PayPal was having some issues so I added stripe in the meantime. PayPal should be straightened out by Tuesday as they need those test deposits to clear in my new business account. You can buy via Stripe now.

  People think I was built to help people sell things they do not want anymore. That’s not why I survived. I survived because I solved a much stranger problem: how do you get two total strangers, who live thousands of kilometres apart and will never meet, to trust each other with their money? Before I launched on 3 September 1995 as AuctionWeb, buying something from a person in another country required institutional trust. You bought from a brand, a store, or a corporation. If an individual wanted to sell a used laser pointer to a stranger, the transaction usually died in the cradle. Why would the buyer send money first? Why would the seller ship the item first? So what did I actually invent? I didn't invent online auctions. I invented a cheap, self policing reputation system. By letting buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction, I turned trust into a public score. Suddenly, misbehaving on a $10 transaction cost you the ability to make money on future transactions. The score became an asset. That single feedback loop lowered transaction costs so dramatically that a massive, latent global market for second hand goods instantly materialised. Does that mean I created a perfect market? No. I created an information game. Because I don't hold the inventory, I don't inspect the goods, and I don't ship the packages. I'm a protocol masquerading as a marketplace. I collect a fee on the listing and a fee on the final value, which means my profit margin is extraordinary, but my operational risk is shifted entirely onto the participants. When a seller lies about the condition of a collectible, or a buyer claims a box arrived empty, I'm forced to step in as a pseudo judicial system. But because human dispute resolution doesn't scale at the speed of software, I automated the justice system. Algorithms evaluate risk and freeze funds. That creates a distinct structural shift. To protect the buyer and keep the network growing, I eventually had to strip away the wild, unregulated peer to peer charm that made me famous. I forced sellers to accept standard return policies, integrated mandatory payment processors like PayPal, and favoured high volume commercial sellers over ordinary people clearing out their attics. So what am I now? I started as a digital flea market where people discovered rare items. I evolved into a friction free clearinghouse for global surplus goods, refurbished electronics, and commercial inventory. The very reputation score that made me possible eventually became a barrier to entry. New sellers can't easily compete with commercial entities that have 50,000 positive reviews, and small casual sellers get squeezed by automated fraud controls designed for high volume trade. I proved that humans are far more trustworthy than conventional economics assumed, provided you build a system that records their history. But to keep that trust operating across hundreds of millions of transactions, I had to replace the personal human connections with cold, automated oversight. In the end, I didn't just digitise the yard sale. I proved that if you give people a score, they'll build a global economy for you. I started as AuctionWeb. Today, I'm known as ebay. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling

  @Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

  A client wanted paid roles in their discord. Here's the whole flow. User visit site, discord login, checkout in crypto or PayPal, payment webhook hits my backend, verify, bot assigns the role, cron watches expiry. Sounds clean. It wasn't. The webhook fired twice on one payment. Same user, two events, milliseconds apart. Without idempotency keys that's a double charge or a corrupted subscription record. Fix: every payment event gets a unique key written to the database before anything is processed. The second event sees the key and exits. Boring code. Saves you a refund and a very annoyed customer.

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.
