  1st time I faced this issue was 14 months ago at PayPal while working with the new Datadog MCP. It may seem from the outside that tech moves fast, but the reality is that adoption within organizations takes a while

  Ripple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  @CDatrio26831 @GloriousAllianc May I suggest more platforms OG payment. I don't have either of those. My PayPal was hacked and I had issues with venmo. I have Cashapp and Zelle. Thank you.

  . Scummy tricks the platform sticks up my *** every day... a) A guy reposted one of my actual articles this morning, and I went over there to check on it about an hour later and found it 72 posts back on the timeline. b) I made a little post just about that. It has a few comments on it, but no one would ever know. Because the comment couter is blank. Comments to my post don't register. So no one would ever think of clicking to view them. They've been concealed by the platform. The scumbags that run this platform have pulled every ***** trick in the book on me from the very beginning, but have really put the hammer down since my series of articles targeting the PayPal Mafia directly, as well as the organized crime cartel occupying the Oval Office with articles such as "The Doge Scam", and The Pardons Racket". Since then, my account's basically been dead. .

  I remember sitting with these lawyers in New York, and they were lecturing me about how they can't use cold email to grow their business. And for a while, I believed them. But then I looked it up. In New York, lawyers can email anybody in business they believe might be "in the market for legal services." And if someone owns a business, they're in the market. So yeah, they were wrong. Cold email is totally fine. They just never checked. And I've made that same mistake - plenty of times. When I was starting out, I'd block myself on things like: "How do I take payments?" "Do I need a business license?" "Am I even allowed to sell this?" And the key part is - I never searched. Because it wasn't really a question. It was an excuse. The moment someone says "just use PayPal," you're at a fork. Either you go, "Oh, yeah, I could." Or you get mad. You reject it. You invent a new reason. I had a friend who went all the way. Built the funnel. Wrote the copy. Recorded all the videos. Set up payments. Everything was done. And he never launched. All the blockers were gone. But the mindset that stopped him at the beginning? Still there. That voice that says "I'm not ready" doesn't leave just because you did the work. What actually slows you down isn't risk. It's assumption. And the fact that you never checked. That's exactly what we break inside Galadon Gold. This is not a course. It's my actual outbound system - tools, flows, and frameworks that generate real leads and sales. 4 coaching calls a week.

  No way this is real... This chick seriously turned down a man, regardless of how much money he has in that account, because he banks with Chime? This is like saying "If you don't put the money in my hands instead of using Cashapp/Zelle/PayPal, I'm done with you forever" Wow.

  @tainted_ashes @PayPal It sucks so bad because this is how I make a living. I’ve been doing this for three years now and had no issues, and they blocked me out of nowhere. It’s ridiculous that this happens so often in the art community. 😩🫠

  @BrillVFX I normally don’t make posts like this, but after giving this person more than enough time, patience, and opportunities to communicate with me, I feel like this needs to be made public. On July 8th, I paid him to create an intro for my team. We said deadline was 1 week. Its is now Aug 7,2026. After receiving the payment, he sent me 1-2 updates showing that he had started working on the project. That was essentially the only real progress/update I received. I didn’t rush him. I gave him roughly 1–2 weeks without bothering him because I understood that creative work takes time. After that period passed with no update, I reached out simply asking about the status of the intro. It then took him another week just to respond. When he finally responded, he explained that he was dealing with a situation involving his family problems. I completely respected that. I didn’t argue with him, pressure him, or immediately ask for my money back. I gave him additional time because I understood that real-life situations come before a project. Another week passed. I reached out again asking for an update. No response. From that point forward, I continued trying to contact him and no communication. At this point, an entire month has passed since I paid him, I still do not have the intro I paid for, and I have not received consistent communication regarding the project. Eventually, after repeatedly trying to handle this privately, I told him that if I continued receiving no response, I would have no choice but to make the situation public and pursue a refund through PayPal. I gave this situation every opportunity to be resolved privately before posting anything publicly. I was patient, I respected the personal circumstances he told me about, and I gave him significantly more time because of them. This post is not being made to send harassment toward anybody. I’m posting this to document my experience and warn other people who may consider purchasing work from him. Everything I’m stating here will be accompanied by screenshots so people can look at the timeline, messages, payment, and communication themselves and form their own opinion. I paid for a service on July 8th. I gave him weeks of patience and multiple opportunities to communicate with me. I still have not received what I paid for. At this point, based on my experience, I believe I was scammed. I have opened/pursued a dispute through PayPal to recover my money. I genuinely wanted to handle this privately, but there comes a point where ignoring a paying customer and failing to deliver what they purchased needs to be addressed. Receipts/screenshots below.

  Brittney constantly says “leave my children alone” and acts outraged that people review what she publicly broadcasts about them. The problem is, Brittney herself keeps putting her children and alleged CPS calls into her content over and over again. Not occasionally. Repeatedly. Just in 2026 I've tracked 134 substantive retellings of Brittney’s personal CPS history across 91 streams on 83 separate dates between January 1 and August 5, 2026. She talks about her children being questioned by CPS, what CPS allegedly asked them, how the visits supposedly traumatized them, what allegations were made about their food, bedrooms, medical care, firearms, drugs, prenatal care, the baby, her parenting and her home. Then those stories become evidence that she is being persecuted. Then specific creators are accused of calling, inciting, “dog-whistling,” knowing the caller or being responsible because of who they associate with. And very often, all of this is happening alongside memberships, super chats, gifted memberships, Cash App, PayPal, Venmo, registries or other financial support. A few examples: 2/17 — “Get HELP Stat!!!” — 1:25:00–1:39:54 Brittney recounts six alleged CPS visits, police entries, drug accusations, drug testing and police canines while gifted memberships and Cash App support are being discussed. 2/18 — “Dehumanizing & Outright Lies!!” — 1:00:17–1:09:43 She tells the story of CPS allegedly being told she cooked for Craig but not her sons and says a caseworker inspected her refrigerator. Her child is audibly part of the stream while memberships are being gifted. 2/23 — “A Talk With My Daughter: The Impacts of Harassment on a Family” — 28:53–35:27 Her daughter is literally brought onto the channel to discuss how the online conflict and CPS calls allegedly affected the children. 6/28 — “Let’s Pick Up Where We Left Off” — 4:35:30–4:43:12 She discusses money viewers sent after a serious CPS allegation and explains that it was intended for an attorney. 8/2 — “What’s That About Nicknames?” — 2:18:28–2:26:31 She again talks about CPS repeatedly coming to the home because of online allegations while memberships, Cash App, PayPal and Venmo are being promoted. So spare me the idea that simply reviewing her public streams is somehow “exploiting” her children. She is the one repeatedly making alleged CPS calls and their supposed impact on her children part of her channel’s storyline. And she knows damn well people review these streams. She talks about clips. She talks about screenshots. She talks about people saving streams. She talks about transcripts and documentation. She asks people to send her clips. She discusses collecting material for attorneys, CPS and the district attorney. So this whole shocked act that people actually listen to what she publicly says is ridiculous. There is also an obvious contradiction in constantly demanding that everyone stop discussing the children while continuing to publicly disclose intimate details about them whenever those details help reinforce the victim narrative. The children are apparently completely off-limits... until their alleged trauma helps prove how persecuted Brittney is. Then suddenly we hear about CPS interviews, fears of police, medical treatment, sleeping arrangements, pregnancy, the baby, drug accusations and what caseworkers supposedly found. And to be clear: none of this means every CPS call was fake or that every donation was specifically given because of CPS. But the recurring content pattern is impossible to ignore: Talk about the children → tell another CPS story → describe the family as victims → accuse someone in the community → outrage the audience → promote or receive financial support → repeat. You cannot repeatedly use your children’s alleged trauma as evidence in your public persecution narrative and then declare that nobody else is allowed to discuss the very information you chose to broadcast. Protecting children means limiting their exposure. It does not mean making their alleged trauma recurring content whenever it is useful for sympathy, loyalty and financial support. At some point, “leave my kids out of it” needs to start with the person holding the microphone.

  Airbnb Part 2 I clicked PayPal on a booking just to check the payment flow Airbnb instantly confirmed the reservation and charged me €1,000 without showing any final confirmation screen or asking me to confirm the booking I canceled it within a minute and immediately messaged the host explaining it was a mistake and asking for a refund Then I realized it was non-refundable Turns out the co-host is the same host I had a dispute with a month ago They refused to refund me and Airbnb says they can’t do anything So I’m now €1,000 down with no reservation @Airbnb I really need you to step in here

  @PayPal Placed an international @Etsy order that took 28 days to arrive damaged & missing items. To keep buyer protection, I should've escalated to PayPal day 1 to freeze seller funds. Giving them time to send a replacement exceeded that window. 30 days is wild with how slow Etsy can be.

  I got hit with a 200 Dollers PayPal lien by a US client 🤯 Sounds scary, right? But honestly this experience reminded me of something I'll never forget entire my life Hear me out guys Few weeks ago , I started working with a new client and the biggest issue what we are facing wasn't the work Yes yess you heard me right It was communication So the client was not very active , so we couldn't discuss feedback properly. Because of that, video revisions kept getting delayed, deadlines started slipping, and eventually our contract was canceled.🥲 To make things worse, I got a $200 PayPal lien. At that moment, I could not blamed the client. Or neither I just walked away Instead, I reached out. I explained my side of the story, listened to theirs, and gave them time to think And then .. Something completely unexpected happened. They finally removed the $200 PayPal lien So the lesson is : Not every problem needs a fight. Sometimes, it just needs a conversation ✨

  @LeeandLie Unsure if this applies but if you guys used PayPal, I know they are great for getting a refund if you have proof of bankruptcy? They instantly refunded me for 3 purchases from an major anime figure site that closed down suddenly a few years ago. Can't guarantee it'll work though
