  @FatherAltman Hi Father, Paypal throws an error saying your webmaster needs do/fix something. I used CC instead, but normally always use Paypal for online purchases. Looking forward to the book!

  @___EEF_ There are apparently people on Reddit as recent as 4 days ago having the exact same issue on me and the working theory that it’s due to paypal’s ai security. This could validate for a genuine law suit

  @linuxuser1996 Eww. @PayPal is disgusting. I would consider it a feature of graphene OS to have it crashed everytime it opens. Plus, @GrapheneOS is busy doing better things. I hope they won't fix this.

  @timetobe_brave Just use PayPal... if someone refuses to use it that's your #1 sign its a scam. And if they use PayPal but scam you, PayPal will fix it.

  @joeroganhq So Elon created PayPal, SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Company, purchased Twitter and became the world's first trillionaire... ...only to be called a "really broken person" by a crack fiend. **** is WILD in 2026!

  @ShoeQueen0318 @ThatsAllAreanna Sadly wokesky isn't doing ****. Been doing the same. We need to hit her where it matters the most, either her linktree or her PayPal/venmo. Won't they shut PayPal down if there's too many charge backs?

  Chaos🔞Comms Open (@ChaosReverb) reported 42 minutes ago

  @Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

  @linuxuser1996 Just to verify that this issue still exists. I intentionally logged out of PayPal while my password manager was still enabled. I closed and then reopened it. Then it began crashing. Disabling the password manager (with protection compatibility still enabled) temporarily fixed it

  @rasmus1610 @bot The PayPal login being the one manual step is actually the right shape for this — checkout is where you want a human in the loop anyway. Curious whether it handled the cart/shipping choices itself or just followed the exact product link you gave it.

  @PayPal I have a problem with my account where payments I send get reversed every couple of days for absolutely zero reason. Frustrating isn’t the word. And speaking to overseas CSR is getting absolutely nowhere.
