    2017-2018 I lost many gigs just because of payment issues. You had to wait for 14 days for fiverr to clear your funds. Using PayPal with pseudo-names and masked location means you are one message away from getting suspended. It’s truly transformative to see @RaenestApp solving these issues for freelancers

    @jcpenney WORST experience trying to return order. Traveled twice to “nearest” store. First time the system shut down. Second time I was told I could only receive a gift card for full amount back even though I paid with part gift card and @PayPal. PayPal has been no help either.

    @exisbread I have the fees built into my prices because you are losing 10% with those fees. I always offer my friends either Vgen commissions or direct Paypal/Cashapp payment to save money. If they want the Vgen protection that is not a problem, but I am not losing money over it.

    @0xkarasy @PayPal It doesn’t seem like the update is out yet though. I really hope they don’t delay it under “technical issues” or something vague. I also wonder why banks like NTB, HNB, NDB etc didn’t hop on this

    since my account is permanently shut down on paypal the only form of payment i’ll be using is venmo. thanks for your understanding my loveys🫶🏻.

    @base Every UI you’ve released thus far is pretty bad. Base app is terrible. Think PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle etc. Simplicity leads to adoption.

    @omoalhajaabiola @RaenestApp I am not the type to talk down on other brands but PayPal set a $20 benchmark of African transactions, $20! That is equivalent to writing a continent off but @RaenestApp puts us back in and I am all for anything that benefits and puts Africa back on the global map. 1/2...

    @Yaw_nyame35 They do not have any problems with sending speeding tickets by email. And one can pay with PayPal instead of an international money transfer.

    Why PayPal in Sri Lanka Actually Matters (And What it Means for You) 1/ The Old Problem Before today, Sri Lankan devs had three options: Use fake overseas addresses (illegal, risky) Keep money in foreign accounts (forex leakage, tax issues) Rely on shady remittance channels (high fees, no protection) We were essentially locked out of the global economy. Meanwhile, Indian and Filipino devs were cashing in directly.

    @hxneycafe YEAH IKR!? She spun a whole story about being broke and having health issues and breaking her hand and wah wah wah then blocked me after all that effort. It was just past the time I could have had paypal intervene too.

    Anthropic just went after 30 million small businesses. Claude for Small Business dropped this week. 15 pre-built workflows. Connectors to QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Docusign, Google Workspace. Invoice chasing, payroll planning, lead triage, contract review, cash-flow monitoring. All baked in. No extra charge beyond the Claude license. Here's what most people will miss about this: The biggest AI lab on the planet just told small business owners they're worth building for. Not enterprise. Not Fortune 500. The 10-person company that's been duct-taping tools together for years. That's a market signal. When Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all start shipping SMB-first products in the same quarter, it means the enterprise-only era of AI is over. But pre-built workflows are the floor, not the ceiling. They solve the generic problems every business has. The real unlock is when a business deploys an agent trained on their specific operations, their specific data, their specific customer patterns. That's where the ROI compounds. Generic workflows get you started. Custom agents get you ahead. 10-city live tour starting yesterday. Free half-day workshops for small business owners. Anthropic is doing field sales now. Let that sink in. What's the first workflow you'd hand off to an agent tomorrow morning?

    @NovaScotiaa3dh @MikhailaFuller @PayPal oh again, i get it. the problem i have is two fold, 1) paypal is wrong to withhold the funds 2)why are they raising money when they can self fund? they can afford this study on their own, if $70k is going to break the back of the study, they never had a chance

    I'm planning to start PayPal commissions soon... The reason is that I need money to repair my PC, which is still relatively new but has broken down, and my secondary PC is too old to be used for game development 🥲 I really need the money 🥲

    @Spookidusk Ugh, this is terrible! If you sent payment through PayPal you could theoretically do a chargeback since it hasn't hit the 6 month mark- if you are comfortable w that and feel you have no other options. If you wanted, I'd be happy to draw something for you for funzies <3

    @realroseceline Worth nothing pretty much all fintech and payment companies are down near lows. Look at Adyen, Nu, Meli, Paypal, Fiserv, and so on. Nu straight up said Q1 is seasonally Brazil's weakest quarter. I think it's a good opportunity to initiate or avg down in some of these names.
