  @GrandukeAnduke If you paid through an invoice you should be able to get a refund through paypal with very little issue, if not could try and go through support but its likely gonna be hell

  @kat_cs2 @Weixin_WeChat Ah I didn’t realize Alipay was more consistent. Will try that, thanks! Kind of hope they solve this issue for the PayPal integration since it’s obviously a push to be more foreign tourist friendly

  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

  I may never be working with editors after my terrible and unprofessional experience with my very first one as an indie vtuber, this is the **** that makes me want to quit sometimes I never had an editor come to my friends chat after I gifted them 5 subs and they say “can pay her pookie subs but can’t pay her editor properly” After I expressed I cannot afford to pay them the wage they want, they asked me how much I can afford, I provided my budget and they immediately took the deal instead of waiting for me to get the right money I took the deal because they insisted it’s okay that time, a month later they’re asking me to pay them more because they regret taking my low payment , I expressed how unprofessional and stressful this experience has been and they tell me “you could’ve just said no” It’s a little hard not to say just “no” when the prior statements after asking for more money is “I worked over 25 hours on this and I can’t justify how much you paid me” I paid them more today and told them I don’t want to work with them anymore after this current video, and then I see this in my PayPal Imagine trying to run a business and you treat your clients like this.

  @thecanozer The payment access part is underrated. Getting Stripe + PayPal solves the first problem, but as the business grows I'd still avoid making either one the only payment rail. Access is step one, redundancy comes next.

  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.

  @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.

  @moneyacademyKE This is the cost of being on FATF's grey list. Kenya was listed in Feb 2024 for weak anti-money laundering controls. When global firms like wise, sendwave & paypal pull back, it's compliance risk. Diaspora will pay more to send money home. We need to fix our AML framework fast.

  @WagerWizard00 I agree that PayPal is still something but when you look at the overall revenue growth it’s not impressive. Unless they can get revenue acceleration then a low multiple is warranted in an industry like this. And what I said was that I think the chances of them reaching sustained revenue growth has gone down

  AI AGENTIC PAYMENTS: The Middle Layer May Capture the Most Value AI agents are beginning to purchase data, software, computing power and services without a person initiating each transaction. Over time, agents could conduct more transactions than people, with many payments worth only a few cents or fractions of a cent. This does not necessarily mean payment processors will collect large fees. Coinbase reported more than 165 million x402 transactions but only about $50 million in cumulative volume—roughly $0.30 per transaction. The x402 protocol is also open and charges no protocol fee. If basic settlement becomes inexpensive and standardized, more value may accrue to the middle layer between the agent and the payment rail. That includes: • Identifying the agent • Confirming its permissions • Setting spending limits • Metering resource consumption • Requesting and verifying payment • Routing the transaction • Managing fraud and compliance • Granting access to the requested resource Public companies positioned around this middle layer: Cloudflare $NET Cloudflare may have the most strategically important position because it sits directly between agents and online resources. Its Monetization Gateway is designed to let an API, dataset, webpage or AI tool require payment before providing access. Cloudflare can potentially handle the payment request, usage metering, verification and access decision at the edge. Cloudflare Wallets could also give agents programmable spending limits, approved merchants and maximum transaction sizes. This places Cloudflare on both sides of the transaction: helping online resources collect payments and helping agents make them. The products are still early, however, and meaningful revenue has not yet been demonstrated. Coinbase $COIN Coinbase has the most developed overall agent-payment stack. It created x402, operates Base, provides agent wallets, facilitates payments and participates in USDC economics. Because x402 is open and vendor-neutral, Coinbase’s long-term opportunity is not charging a large protocol fee. It is monetizing wallets, balances, compliance, business services and activity occurring through its infrastructure. Mastercard $MA Mastercard’s potential role extends beyond processing the payment. Agent Pay for Machines is designed to manage identity, permissions and trust across cards, bank accounts and stablecoins, including high-frequency payments worth fractions of a cent. Even if settlement moves to inexpensive stablecoin networks, Mastercard could remain involved as the credentialing and risk-management layer. Visa $V Visa is developing agent scoring, tokenized credentials, fraud models, stablecoin settlement and an agent directory. Its infrastructure may be especially relevant when an agent makes a larger purchase for a person and the merchant needs to confirm that the agent is legitimate, authorized and operating within the user’s instructions. PayPal $PYPL PayPal combines merchant distribution, consumer wallets, PYUSD, fraud management and dispute resolution. Its strongest opportunity may be serving as the connection between consumer agents and merchants rather than processing sub-cent machine-to-machine payments. Circle $CRCL USDC currently dominates x402 settlement, making Circle an important part of the underlying payment rail. However, Circle primarily earns reserve income on USDC balances rather than revenue from each transaction. High transaction volume matters only if it also creates larger funded balances or demand for Circle’s paid wallet, compliance and developer services. Marqeta $MQ Marqeta can issue virtual cards with detailed spending limits and programmatic controls. This makes it a useful middle layer while agents still need to purchase from merchants that accept cards but not stablecoins. Its role may become less important if direct wallet-to-wallet payments become widely accepted. My current ranking: $NET — payment and access decisions at the internet edge $COIN — wallets, facilitation, Base and USDC economics $MA — agent identity, permissions and trust $V — credentials, fraud protection and merchant acceptance $PYPL — connection between consumer agents and merchants $CRCL — underlying stablecoin settlement $MQ — programmable card bridge

  @Mickskinz May be stating the bleedin' obvious here... 1. Stop the DD at bank level 2. Close the PayPal account - via the "forgotten password" route 3. Contact Microsoft Support directly - "Services & Subscriptions" see if the storage plan is visible & tied to an active Microsoft login
