Habib Saba (@HabibSaba4) reported@AskPayPal Hello, I'm having trouble logging into my account because I no longer have access to the registered phone number. I can access my email, but I'm stuck at the 2FA step. Calling support is too expensive for me. Can you please help me verify my identity through other means?Thank you

J. Penrose-Drain (@WynDuffy) reported@janninereid1 if i refuse to pay taxes for even one tax year, or if I refuse to report income over $600 on paypal, then all hell rains down on me, but a 3d world peasant with nine kids can invade and eat the taxes that the regime has stolen from me. No, I don't care about his sad story.

Reactor Axe Man (@ReactorAxeMan) reported@TachiTach_ PayPal direct doesn't sound terrible, then. I always tip you anyway beyond what we agree to, so the tip more than covers the charge.

m. (@zL19uMsnpSU) reportedReal issue though I see is there are many freelancers/companies (incl. me) selling digital products in global market. However, we're forced to use third party gateways and losing potential customers because our policy isn't ready for Stripe, Paypal, Google merchant account etc.

Vegeta (@Nigeta1234) reported@xblazrx @spiderspookie @Kaiser7861 3. The problem is that the intent of the expose is literally her not caring about the actual victim but clout chasing. She literally tells him "you can still talk to me lol" in her own recording 4. She was fine giving him her paypal and accepting money

yuany (@yuany194687) reportedHey @BeatStars ,I have a payment issue where a 'Successful' sale didn't hit my PayPal or Wallet. Ticket #542882. Can someone look into this?

✨Lewdish Zelvamist✨ (@Zelvussy) reported@Miilfywayz Respectfully, I do not understand what you are thinking is shameful. Could you please explain it to me? I know you previously did NSFW audio content but stopped when your paypal was frozen over it. I also see there is lewd art available on your patreon from this year. So I am having a hard time believing it is about NSFW content as a whole. Is it the act of inserting a microphone itself? As long as safety precautions are taken, I see no problem. I think the human body is a beautiful thing and while womb can be degenerate in the sense you are hearing the “insides” of a girl if she goes the insertion route, but it is also a very calming and comforting type of asmr audio. I think it is ok to have opinions and to dislike a certain type of content, but I’m not sure if shaming girls for having their own boundaries in the same niche you once worked in is the thing to do. If you regret your participation in nsfw work, that is ok too. There are a lot of women who get into it because of societal pressure and from the money it can bring if you do it right, but that doesn’t mean every girl that does it is shameless. I feel as if this take might have a root in self shame and guilt if you do in fact have regrets in your previous work and I urge you to find a professional that can help you work through that rather than attacking other women. Find your strength in helping empower other women, we need to focus on supporting each other not bringing one another down.

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.

CHANELLE GLOBAL BACKUP (@GLOBALCHANELLE) reportedWe are still trying to fix the issue of the PayPal, however our Ko-Fi should still be accessible. If you cannot access neither to Ko-Fi nor the PayPal, we are making note of everyone who has DMed or emailed us!

Chirag (@ChiragLathiya) reportedI used to think Stripe won because they built a better payments infrastructure. That’s not what actually happened. When Stripe started, payments were already “solved” in the traditional sense. - PayPal existed - Banks had their own systems - Payment gateways were widely available If you were a business, you could accept payments. But if you were a developer trying to integrate them, it was a different story. The process was frustrating. Documentation was unclear. APIs were inconsistent. Setting up even a basic flow could take days, sometimes weeks. Every integration felt like stitching together systems that were never designed to work smoothly. The problem was not availability. It was usability. Stripe focused on something that looked small from the outside but was fundamental in practice. They made the API clean and predictable. Accepting payments took a few lines of code. The documentation was structured. The developer experience was consistent. They did not change the underlying financial system. They changed how developers interacted with it. This had a compounding effect. Developers started choosing Stripe not because it had more features, but because it was easier to start with. That initial decision shaped everything that followed. - easier integration → faster adoption - faster adoption → more businesses onboarded - more businesses → more volume and feedback - more volume → better product over time What looked like a small improvement at the entry point became a long-term advantage. Stripe did not win by introducing something entirely new. They won by removing friction at the first step and making the default choice obvious. In many markets, the product that is easiest to start with is the one that scales the fastest. The entry experience is not a detail. It is often the decision point that determines the winner.

king ra (@kingra24241821) reported@JumpyFeller @The_Real_Lord33 Like even before that bullshit with Patreon, Paypal (which artists use for commissions) was (and still is) anti-porn. If Paypal found out you did NSFW art then there would be issues from them freezing your account and keeping YOUR money. Genuinely a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Victim Tee (@HomeInvasionCop) reported@AnthonySabatini I'm liking Mr Donald's less and less but he is allowed to trade stock and basically legally insider-trade being immune from insider trading laws as a US Member of Congress? What rule is he broken by trading PayPal stock and disclosing it?
-
Abdul wasay (@Abdulwasay0090) reported@PayPalUK Small business owner here my PayPal was deactivated with no explanation no disputes no refunds everything legit so what’s the issue just be clear instead of hiding behind vague policies
-
Zethuzz (@Zethuzzzz) reported@PayPal in spite of setting a default card, you keep withdrawing from the wrong account . Problem did not exist earlier. Why are you making this worse?
-
David Dent (@ddent366) reported@Owlizard Ah I see now. They couldn't make the payment at the level they booked. If it were once or twice I might add with bad wi-fi / early Patreon and Paypal I used to have trouble connecting my payment methods but this seems rather a large number not just one or two?
-
Anakhelon (@Anakhelon) reported@GamingWithNuke @KrestoTheArtist The problem isnt really ISPs, its payment processors. If they cant make money they won't do it. If Visa/Mastercard/PayPal etc all say no go to processing the "donation". then they cant make money off of it.
-
Lily White Cracker (@LilyWCracker) reported@Abby_Sariah Call them. But if it’s like PayPal, they just keep telling you to login to your account that you can’t get into. Ugh. Sorry.
-
Marwane (@MarwaneResub) reportedNever run 100% of your revenue through one processor. Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments — they're all the same risk. One fraud pattern. One disputed batch. One compliance flag. Your entire cashflow stops. Fix: Route volume across 2–3 processors. Never let one hold more than 60% of your monthly revenue.

hialex (@hialex_sol) reportedToday a designer in Buenos Aires getting paid by a US client has 3 bad options: • Wire → 3–5 days + $25–50 fees • PayPal → 8%+ taken • Crypto → confusing, needs SOL/ETH for gas, public addresses leak income None of these feel like a normal wallet. We fix that.
