  Hi @TwitchSupport i just recently moved and had to redo my onboarding again. Back in 2021 when i did the onboarding the first time i was forced to choose Paypal, as one of your fields for local bank transfer is a drop down menu instead of manual fill in. This is relevant for me as a sole proprietor, as my tax forms use my legal name but my bank account is a company account registered with the company name. I wanted to see if it would be possible for me now to use SEPA, as you recently advertised it could save EU streamers some money on fees... HOWEVER I'm still forced to use PayPal, is there any way you could help me with this? Note i did write Twitch Support back in 2021 as well...

  @karupilled what payment method are you using credit/bank card or paypal etc. Japanese sites dont allow foreign cards to be used usually you'll have problems with most cards (in my case at least) try using paypal or amazon pay if you haven't. Thats how i purchase from base shops

  @Jason______A @PayPal @AskPayPal Avoid apps like PayPal and Revolut at all times I've had so many problems with both, they'll lock your account, have you contact some DEI hire that knows nothing, and your money will just be gone.

  The entire world launch market was about $4 billion a year. He stood in front of Stanford students and said his rocket would fly for about $6 million a flight, against a competitor charging many times that this is Elon Musk in October 2003 – introduced as the guy from PayPal, because that is all he was SpaceX is one year old in this room. No Falcon has flown. Tesla does not exist yet as anything you would recognise he divides the whole market by the number of flights and reads the number out loud, the way you would check a bill on why the price had never come down: he says nobody had tried to build the vehicle and the engine and the avionics in one building, so every rocket carried four companies' margins no slides worth the name – a room of maybe a hundred students – a man in a black shirt who has not yet been photographed a million times this recording exists because Stanford filmed its entrepreneurship course for a teaching archive and put it out free bookmark & watch today ↓

  @GabrielCor54922 yes... wechat still is hit or miss with that, but my foreign linked alipay works well enough for me. that said, both apps still require some chinese ability even though the english is more prominent these days (eg errors are still in chinese) and ID vertification is cumbersome paypal is an app people outside china already use

  Man I got an email from PayPal that I had some refund thing and I did a bit of research first to make sure the refund was real and also checked the email and saw it was the real one but after clicking the link and logging in to claim my money I’m worried I got scammed cause I didn’t receive anything and I’m worried it was a login info steal attempt and now I feel super stupid for even logging in through a link to begin with whether it was a scam or not. I really hope it isn’t a scam and it’s legit but me being in need of cash right now made me behave stupid

  When Reynolds logged into PayPal to check his balance, it showed $0. PayPal later acknowledged that the massive figure was an error and corrected it.

  The maestro (@maestroslay) reported 30 minutes ago

  Elon Musk sat on a conference sofa in November 2008 with both his companies weeks from running out of money and the credit markets frozen shut. Lehman had collapsed 8 weeks earlier. No investor in the room was writing cheques for an electric car startup. Tesla had laid off staff in October and was down to a balance that would not clear another payroll cycle. Watch how he handles the funding question. He is being asked to defend a business that had already burned through most of what he made at PayPal. The Model S existed as a plan and a price nobody believed, and the Roadster was shipping in small numbers at a loss per car. Six weeks after this conversation the Tesla round closed on Christmas Eve. He was on a sofa arguing for a company he was days from losing.

  Honestly, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. There are others who have gone through something similar or even the exact same situation with him, and apparently, they end up settling things amicably. I hope this can be resolved, as the whole thing seems completely crazy to me. I can understand a problem or a disagreement and working toward a solution, but filing PayPal claims over things that don't even fail a similarity check (like a background) is just absurd; he simply filed a claim for the *entire* job

  @PayPal @AskPayPal why does your face scan suck so damn much. I've done it a million times, either make it work or don't make me deal with it to get my money. Fix your ****.

  @KonstantinKisin Most of the time people get very wealthy by doing something better, faster, or cheaper than how it’s currently being done. Elon for example got started with PayPal, then running a company that makes the best EV, then by driving down the cost of rocket launches.

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  Deleting the commit does not remove the secret. *** keeps history. The blob is still reachable by hash, still in every clone and fork, likely in a mirror you have never heard of. Rotate the credential. A team that spends the first hour rewriting *** history instead of revoking the key has spent the hour the attacker needed. Public repos are scraped continuously. A committed cloud key is found and used in minutes, not days. Push protection blocks the credential before it leaves your machine, which beats detection after the fact. The supply chain side is worse. Event-stream 2018: maintainer handed the package over, new owner added code targeting a bitcoin wallet. No bug. The maintainer changed. Dependency confusion 2021: public packages matching internal names at higher versions, builds fetched the attacker's copy. Worked against Apple, Microsoft, PayPal. No vulnerability. Just resolution order. xz-utils 2024: multi-year effort to gain maintainer trust and reach sshd. Found by an engineer investigating a half second login slowdown. Dependency review cannot be a one time check. The package that was safe when you chose it can change hands afterwards. Wrote up the full breakdown of repo security, credential rotation, and three supply chain attacks that worked without exploiting a single bug.

  Peter Thiel is worth over $20 billion and he tells students that competition is for losers. He earned the right to say it. In 2004 he wrote a $500,000 check to a 19-year-old for 10.2% of Facebook - the first outside money that company ever took. He sold most of it for over a billion. Before that he cofounded PayPal, before that he was a failed Supreme Court clerkship candidate who quit corporate law after seven months. His argument in this lecture is one line long. All happy companies are different because each earns a monopoly by solving a unique problem. All failed companies are the same - they failed to escape competition. Google makes about 30% margins. Airlines fight each other into the ground. Perfect competition is a synonym for zero profit. He wants you to build something nobody can copy.

  E-commerce founders: run these 4 checks today. They come from the 265-point audit we run on e-commerce stores, and none of them need a tool or a developer. 1. Open your top collection page. If there's no text beyond product tiles, Google has almost nothing to rank. Add a short intro up top and a buying guide at the bottom. 2. Google your best-selling product's name. If a retailer outranks your own page for your own product, open both side by side and you'll usually see why: theirs has more detail, more reviews, more reasons to buy. That page is worth fixing before anything else. 3. Count the filters on your biggest category. If a shopper can't get from 400 products down to 10 in a couple of clicks, most of them just leave. 4. Buy from your own store on your phone. Count how much typing you did that Apple Pay or PayPal would have handled. All that typing is where people give up and close the tab. About ten minutes for all four.

  It’s ridiculous; I’m having a serious problem with a client who filed a series of PayPal disputes. It’s absurd because the complaints stem from the fact that some thumbnails didn't pass the UEFN similarity check—something we all know is normal and happens with 90% of thumbnails. Even so, I made sure they passed the check; I even enlisted @MalakiDZN help to ensure they did. Yet, days later, the client disputed every single thumbnail I created—even the ones that had passed the check. On top of that, he defended his claim on PayPal by alleging I had plagiarized existing work. That’s ridiculous, considering I basically took Roblox concepts he sent me and adapted them for Fortnite. It’s absurd. I hope no other designer works with him, because this could happen to them. I don’t know why PayPal hasn’t resolved this yet; having more than six disputes filed at once doesn't even make sense—it’s just a desperate attempt to get his money back 🫩🫩
