  @RudraExchange Franklin Templeton, PayPal, Visa being 'live' on Stellar doesn't translate to $XLM the token. They issue in USDC and stablecoins, settlement runs in USDC, fees are 0.00001 XLM. Token captures no value from these partnerships. Exchange PR doesn't change that.

  Merchants hate payment fees. Stripe: 2.9% PayPal: 3.5% $XEC eCash: 0.0001% That's not a rounding error. That's a paradigm shift. When @Coinbase Commerce supports $XEC, this becomes real for millions of merchants overnight. #XEC #eCash #CoinbaseListXEC

  This is for everyone’s awareness. I allowed one person to borrow my PayPal account strictly for paying PerthSanta photocard transactions, under a clear agreement that it would only be used for that purpose. However, I later discovered that my PayPal account was used for personal transactions without my knowledge or permission. On top of that, this person received money through my account without informing me. Because the funds were placed on hold, I only received ₱18,000 and immediately refunded it. She then claimed that the ₱18,000 should be transferred to GCash account which I did, and since my PayPal account was on hold, the remaining amount of ₱33,718.14 automatically released and sent back to the sender. Despite this, the sender still reported my PayPal account and falsely accused me of being a scammer in relation to concert ticket payments. I had absolutely no involvement in any of these transactions, as my account was used entirely without my consent. The sender also harassed me and threatened to sue me for crimes I did not know about and did not commit. This situation has caused me extreme stress and sleepless nights. As a result, I am now dealing with the consequences, handling refund disputes, and my PayPal account has been permanently shut down due to actions I did not commit. Let this serve as a serious warning: never allow anyone access to your financial accounts, even if you fully trust them. One wrong decision can lead to severe consequences, false accusations, and irreversible damage to your account and reputation.

  @PayPal and @SafaricomPLC, I am seeking urgent resolution of a transaction issue. In November 2025, a withdrawal from my PayPal account to M-Pesa failed (via mpesa app) , but the funds were deducted from my PayPal account and have never been credited to my M-Pesa account.(1/2)

  So PayPal invoices all of my customers this morning and then shuts down my account from the ability to receive funds until I upload ANOTHER COPY OF MY ID. I hate banks.

  A bit of a personal update. I was able to get a loan to help with my Paypal situation. It's basically kicking the can down the road though. I still want to thank everyone who tried and was able to support though. External circumstances have made progress slow though.

  By any chance, you guys @PayPal @Venmo @VenmoSupport aware that signing-up and creating a new Venmo account is broken? It gets up to the point of [x] Verify you are Human, you click the box, and it dies.

  PayPal has 400M users and none of them have an autonomous money agent. Built FloatHQ to fix that.

  That year he was borrowing money for rent. The man who'd sold PayPal for $1.5 billion couldn't pay his own bills because he refused to let his companies die. When the NASA contract and Tesla funding landed weeks apart, he broke down in tears.

  @n1after40 Yeah, Apple Pay has been a bit unreliable lately. From what we've seen, the issue is usually on the banking side rather than ours, but our payment provider is already working on improving it. By the way, PayPal currently has the highest success rate for payments, so that's usually the smoothest option.

  When support is down & it’s business style meeting time, DSP is all “WE need to figure out what’s wrong” & “what are WE going to do.” After that money hits PayPal? “It’s MY money, and IM going to do whatever I want with it.”

  @AlityRay I did as a down payment because I wasnt expecting a massive amount after the fact. But once I sent 10 via PayPal then all of a sudden the actual price came out. It was stupid but I wanted to see if I was right about the tactic being used and I was.

  @PayPal if it is not one thing it is another thing broken with this platform. First can’t instant add money then i found the stablecoin solution and now the month of June wont let you set a cashback category. 0/10 rating since to even use your platform you just hope it works

  @bitchuneedsoap If Venmo is being used to finance these riots why hasn't the CEO of Venmo, Alex Criss which is owned by PayPal, shut down these accounts, they are just as guilty of all the destruction.
