Afari (@Nkrumaneverdies) reportedGood job, @samgeorgegh, for this clear up because I thought the previous registration didn't go through. It left with sim registration against fraud, PayPal, and then hit more on the data issue.

Toma Sidibeh (@TSidibeh2774) reported@silverpenydr I am finding it difficult to have a patner. Plus i am having issues with the payout. I only have paypal

Miss Sweet (@MissSweetDallas) reported@TIF_Productions CashApp and Venmo for regions that allow it. Make sure that they are careful on their notes. For those that don't have access to the aforementioned two, Throne. Create a subtle cash gift. I refuse to use PayPal and Zelle for privacy/protection issues.

Position Journal (@PositionJournal) reported@arbel_amir The thing with Pinterest is, the product is fantastic, the user growth is consistent (10 straight quarters) and they have a meaningful differentiator with their 80B monthly queries across images. The issue is management, I did not expect Bill, who came as COO of PayPal and founder of Venmo, to be so reactive. The issues he laid out in the call are all rudimentary issues (losing big advertisers) and his reaction of hiring more sales team and upping the GTM strategy is something that could have been done months prior and not just in Q1'26.

aurora 🌙🐲🪽🦋🪻🫧 (@wishkept) reported@ecutruin @Xurran @PayPal unfortunately , you are entitled to the artist's process when that artist is selling it as a product to you , that is the point of a commission ☺ it is an artist's responsibility to accommodate you when you are purchasing a custom work from them , and once more , in this particular process the "artist" here *did* share their "progress" however it was not authentic and they continued to story that the art work was their own work without any generative AI tools used lastly , human beings are not omnipotent , so it is not viable for us to magically generate some sort of mind reading ability of foresight to tell the future as to whether or not someone is going to go back on their word or lie outright , the point remains still yet: even if you *did* make an agreement beforehand , that person can still lie , they don't have to honor their word , which is still not the fault nor responsibility of the client when the liar turns out to be the artist who was peddling a product that was dishonest , this is the very core of a "scam" what is the client meant to do ? interrogate them ? there is no guarantee of the truth , even still , the artist continues to double down , this is one particular scenario and though you are attempting to make some kind of blanket statement to defend the potential usage of AI still makes no difference here unfortunately the artist was deceptive , and agreements beforehand or after the fact made no difference , because the artist was questioned and denied the claims , and continued to be unable to produce a commission with the details requested in accuracy , instead what was delivered was inconsistent with what was advertised and the artist's behavior and "progress" provided contradicted the artist's own statements i don't disagree with the latter part of what you are saying , and some people do trace AI , you're right about this , i'm not going to get into a debate about whether it's right or wrong because it has nothing to do with the scenario . artists sometimes trace over real life references or even pictures they took of their selves for poses , sometimes models will model poses and allow artists to use it as a base for free or for cost , so i understand what you're saying . sometimes people are forthcoming about it and other times they are not , sometimes there are people out there who even trace over other artist's works without permission and sell it as their own no AI involved , but we cannot blame clients if the artist is the one who holds the responsibility to be honest about it when it comes to using AI , and the person was not drawing over AI - the luxray had 5 legs , absol has 4 eyes , even if you traced over AI to assist your art work then anyone can debate that elsewhere , but a person who is paying attention to what they're doing is not going to include these blatant mistakes , and there are even more to list . some people are still not able to easily spot AI , and they don't understand; it's still new to some , and it's still new to my friend here , people have to learn to spot it and make their choice as to whether or not they are going to support or or avoid it . but regardless of that , the artist explained away even these glaring issues as her own works , which , if it even had been true , then perhaps there is even more of an issue than the simple usage of AI . still , this is the whole purpose of making a TOS , which the artist must do; it makes no sense for that responsibility to be on the client , because it is not their business and they are not the ones who are held to account for the invoices . if you're trying to say that commissioning someone in good faith without witnessing a TOS first is unwise , then i can't entirely disagree with you , but the responsibility is still on the person who was dishonest . people may try new things and be unaware , and that's just something that happens . i've been scammed before by people who didn't even use AI , this was well over a decade ago and AI wasn't really a thing - they just simply chose not to complete the commission . i don't bear any resentments towards them or anything , so i'm not attempting to detract , i'm just saying that we cannot always prevent or predict what someone is going to do to us , so it's unfair to expect a client to be all knowing , they are not running the business , they are merely a patron and if the business owner takes advantage of the patrons , then who is at fault ? we can only know what we know until further information is revealed , and the artist here was still revealed to be deceptive in the end . perhaps it is a learning lesson for the client , sure , but for the artist , if they are not willing to operate truthfully , what can be done ? there is no willingness to change the structure of the business nor admit to the fact that AI was used , she's already determined that , which cannot be helped . we cannot force others to concede , but stand by our own convictions

FDC INC (@fdcincshop) reportedThat 8 is the byte size of the response your server sent back to PayPal (likely the word "Verified"). PayPal sees that 200 OK, and it stops trying to send you that specific notification. You’re being a "good citizen" in the PayPal ecosystem!

; 🏳️⚧️ (@tmascchloeprice) reportedI might have to cool it with the crowdfunding because if it gets shut down and I'm locked out of my PayPal I'm really ******.

Hugofrost (@H2gofrost) reported@AskPayPal My paypal has been permanently deactivated after sending some extra information about me (because they told me to do) It's been only 2 weeks since I started using it. I really don't know what to do for this, I'm actually really sad right now. Is there any way I can resolve the issue? (The cause of this might be VPN; I think I was using vpn when I was using paypal one time before because of Twitch shutdown in Korea)

Bixu | Video Editor (@bixuedits) reported@dharyaedits Most clients prefer PayPal it’s easier for them to get refund, terrible for freelancers

DirtandDissent (@hwoodhmstd) reported@PayPal are you trying to make it so hard for ppp to pay their bills online therefore we rack up late fees? Whats up with your terrible web design that seems to be intentionally obscuring the bill pay mechanism? Which even after calling yall, I have not located.

hyojin (@hyojin_en) reporteddude this little arc from me getting hacked is getting so annoying, im considering just wiping myself off the internet. they got into my paypal and tried to buy 120 dollars worth of console gift cards, and it backfired only because i didn't have the money to pay for it i've once again locked down another account and added 2fa, and did it to a couple of others for good measure. im hoping this is the last of it im quite tired.

Timmy Turner (@timmyturner1337) reported@EspurTrashDump @NotJoshart I’d be down if it’s like over PayPal or smth if it’s not too expensive. I’m buying that Tomodachi game so maybe like next week if it’s over 50 dollars

youssfi abdessamad (@lemeanter) reported@AskPayPal Hello, I encountered a technical issue with my account. It was permanently restricted the moment I uploaded my ID(CIN) for verification. I believe this was an automated mistake as the documents are 100% authentic. Could you please manually review my case? Thank you.

villin 🇨🇦 (@villined) reported@H2gofrost @AskPayPal No problem man I went through the same thing.. You can keep trying, I've heard that sometimes it can get lifted. But generally the most they usually do is screw us over and say "It's not a mistake." They don't like to admit they're wrong.
-
Layal 🌙🖤 (@layalafterdark) reported@santhemu_ @iamjoseh_ I have this, but the problem is that it's not linked to paypal withdrawals, the other one ndio iko na hiyo feature. I don't understand how they separate these things.
-
Lord Sammy Gato (@lordsammygato) reported@Nero His work on PayPal is commendable. But Tesla is the result of a **** ton of money printing. If that's centrist then I say we tear it all down and go back to living in the trees.

DODANING (@DODANING) reported@AskPayPal What a terrible service they offer, and the customer service is even worse!
