  So apparently late last night. Well actually like 2 something this morning. Someone hacked into my SHEIN account. I thought it was of those scam emails trying to get you to click on the link but it was real. There really is two orders on my SHEIN account. One cancelled for another watch. So technically 3. Thankfully I have never saved my payment methods. I only used PayPal and those payment methods aren't saved unless I login with my phone or code. None of the saved VISAS are mine. I don't know whose cards they are. Hopefully SHEIN can get this taken care of asap. The orders were packed so apparently they can't like cancel it. I do not know at all the address it's shipping. Info says my address on invoice as billing address, but with that Pretoria shipping address. When I googled the shipping address that is now default on my account it says it's a logistics business that's closed apparently. Someone's cards are being used. I don't see the cards being the hackers. Why login to my account to place your orders with your own card. This is definitely identity theft/fraud going on here. Hopefully those poor people notice the charge on their account and have contacted their bank. Hoping SHEIN really escalates this issue asap, I don't want this to keep happening. At this point i dont know if I should delete my SHEIN account now or wait till SHEIN does their thing. I'm definitely never ordering from SHEIN again after this.💔🙌

  This restriction over on PayPal and Cash-app makes me think it’s a conspiracy to make crypto a viable option where they can’t touch it and you can sell without issue.

  Supra | スープラ (@supurasensei) reported 20 minutes ago

  Just tried to help a friend get an Indian tourist visa and it was a proper nightmare. My friend is a Japanese national and has never had to apply for a visa for anywhere. The application form asks for all sorts of details, which was not too difficult to fill but in parts annoying. For example, it compulsorily asks for a person of contact in India and their address; how is a tourist who has never been to India supposed to have that? Luckily, I was able to provide a family member's details. But then it comes to the payment section (USD 25), the website only provides the following options: - SBI e-pay -PayPal -Axis Bank e-pay How on earth is someone supposed to know that choosing the e-pay options leads you to a page where you can pay by credit or debit card? Anyway, because I have helped people with this before, I advised her to choose the SBI e-pay option and she started entering her card details. Hit enter. Transaction failed. Strange, she said. It's a Visa and she's used it all over the world. Curiously, after a transaction fails, you still get a screen asking you to check transaction status but only AFTER 30 minutes. Going back simply brings you back to the same page. Kept getting an error. Tried two more times. Error. Tried another card. Another error. Exited and tried to get back to the payment screen from midway through the application and chose the Axis Bank gateway. Errors again on both cards. Another friend, from Hong Kong, volunteered to pay using her card. The first one received errors on both. Finally, on the eighth attempt, the friend's second card went through on the Axis Bank gateway. This entire process, that should have taken 15 minutes at most, ended up taking three hours. A foreigner with a genuine interest to visit the country, with tickets and accommodation booked already, needed multiple tries to book a simple e-visa, with four credit cards, all enabled for international use, that were declined regularly until one finally, randomly worked. If anyone in the Indian government is wondering why foreign tourism and Incredible India aren't exactly booming, they might want to consider this as a potential reason.

  @High_Impact_67 It wasn’t a misdirected payment, it was an exchange rate correction. I originally sent someone in Norway $100. The PayPal exchange rate for the Norwegian Kroner was messed up that day. They charged my account $5,000 instead of $100. They corrected it 3 weeks later crediting my account and making me whole. Then two months later they corrected it again in error giving me $5,000 that wasn’t mine.

  @JackedOnMargin PayPal users have been flat/down for years. Intuit grew users while flexing pricing hence how they grew top line 14%.

  @amansaini_11 As long as your product solves their problem & is user friendly, they don't care about anything else. Easy & fast checkout is soooo important - I've left websites when the checkout is really complicated & doesn't offer PayPal or stripe!

  the asian sounding woman with kids screaming in the background says she can't fix my issue with my name and that it's the merchant's settings that cause the problem. does anyone else get stuff addressed like "surname, lastname" when checking out with paypal?

  @Purple_Furplace It’s horrible to know I’m not the first one to be a thousand dollars worth costumer that she would give no damns about! The thing is that she just doesn’t care and feel like the amount of money is owed to her due to her super vague heart issues she always talk about whenever commissions are brought up… most of us artists have disabilities too— just as severe and sometimes worse, but still work hard to be a good business owner. She takes the money, dips, and accuse you of being a horrible person for telling her to please give an update. It was so heartbreaking because I wanted to give her a chance, but I lost my patience when I heard I wasn’t the only one so I gave an ultimatum…and honestly? I should have just gotten a charge back and reported her into losing her PayPal. Considering she tells people she doesn’t even have money for a $42 (!!!) dollar refund and guilt trips the person to just cancel and give up, her lack of intelligence with business is probably expanded to lack of intelligence with money…

  @zachmoskow @stripe Our only option was to use Stripe radar and its far from being fully effective IMO. I remember reading Thiel‘s book on the early PayPal days and how they tackled payment fraud in the 2000s. You would think that this is a solved problem…

  @TMThera Losing $3,000 through an account breach is bad enough without PayPal dismissing your claim. The payment timestamps, login activity, and case records may help establish what occurred and give you stronger evidence to challenge the outcome.
