  When I get a message from @PayPal to contact my bank @FNBSA because there is a problem with a transaction my blood pressure rises as I realise that I could be on the phone for hours being pushed from one call centre to another.

  @ns1778 @realradec HBO doesn't take "foreign" card payments. Even with PayPal, we technically can't legally. I had to buy an account through a website and get the login. Well using a VPN but now I have both suits, so no complaints about it.

  @AskPayPal Hello, my PayPal account supported Standard Transfers normally until recently. Less than one month ago I was able to withdraw using Standard Transfer without any issue. Now all my Saudi cards only show Instant Transfer, including previously confirmed cards. Plz fix it

  @azusai_ @Kimberstar_ I said this in a discord server, and granted this is easier for me/the artists I have commissioned before because it means I either put minimal or no info in the PayPal transaction notes I just write my username for the site I'm talking to the artist on- )1

  @wil_da_beast630 @FedEx Wil, you are big enough on here to get their attention, I'm, sure. But, I had a similar runaround situation with PayPal not too long ago involving someone fraudulently using my account to issue payouts. When their customer service was useless, I started finding people in their corporate structure on "Linked-In" and emailed them directly. In my case, it finally got the attention of someone in the executive office, who actually resolved the issue in ten minutes. So, if this doesn't get their attention, start privately contacting anyone you can identify at FedEx corporate. Skip the traditional customer service route. You've got to get a hold of an actual decision maker.

  In December 2008, Elon Musk gave Tesla the last money he had. The wire went through at six in the evening on Christmas Eve. A few hours later and the payroll checks would have bounced. He'd sold PayPal in 2002 and walked away with about 180 million dollars. He did almost none of the things a person does with 180 million dollars. He put it into a rocket company and a car company, two industries with almost no history of outsiders winning, and then 2008 arrived and started draining what was left. By the end of the year he was down to a few hundred thousand dollars and borrowing money from friends to make rent. His marriage had fallen apart that year too. Two companies. Both nearly out of cash. The same month. The rockets had failed first. SpaceX had one product, a small rocket called the Falcon 1, and only enough money to fly it three times. That was the whole budget. The first one caught fire and fell back to the pad. The second reached space and lost control before orbit. The third separated cleanly, and then the spent first stage drifted back up and tapped the second one... a timing error on a new engine, and the rocket was gone. Three launches, three failures, no money left. He built a fourth out of the scraps and put the last of the cash on it. It launched on September 28, 2008, from a small island in the Pacific, and reached orbit. The first privately built liquid fueled rocket that ever had. He said afterward it was the last money they had, and a fourth failure would have ended the company that night. It didn't save Tesla. Tesla had been about to close a hundred million dollar round that summer when the banks collapsed and credit froze. A tiny car startup raising money while General Motors itself slid toward bankruptcy had almost no chance. It was burning cash, had no car in real production, and was days from missing payroll. So he took over as CEO. He put in his last dollars. He talked the existing investors into restructuring the round as debt to get past the one who was blocking it. That deal closed at six on Christmas Eve. He gave Tesla the last of his cash and, in his words, "didn't even own a house or anything sellable." The day before, NASA had called SpaceX with a 1.6 billion dollar contract to carry cargo to the space station. He said he could barely hold the phone. Two companies pulled back from the edge in 48 hours, at the bottom of the worst year of his life. People look at Musk now and argue about genius. The genius was already there through all three failures, and it didn't save him. What saved him was a choice he'd made months earlier, when the money was running out. He could have put everything left into one company and let the other one die. That was the sane move. He split his last dollars between both instead, knowing it could mean losing both. He said later it nearly gave him a breakdown, and that it could have killed both companies at once. Most people fold at zero for three. He paid for the fourth and... it worked.

  @O2 are you having issues with your card payment system? I’m trying to pay the reservation fee to upgrade but no method is working. Cards, Apple Pay or PayPal. I have funds in the account and have also tried 2 individual accounts Incase it was my bank.

  @PattyTrills Imagine being so insecure you have to flex your finances on someone going through financial trouble. You reap what you sow and if I had to guess soyboyluke's PayPal account is going to dry up pretty quick here.

  @cryptorover PayPal sucks. They promote an instant transfer, but they randomly hold clients money 5 to 21 days. When i realized this, I knew they would go down. No integrity in this company.

  Everyone counts stablecoin TVL. Almost nobody prices the bill to keep it liquid. PayPal pays ~$10M/yr to @sparkdotfi just to keep PYUSD deep against major stables. That's the hidden COGS of stablecoins. Issuance is trivial. Paxos mints, you launch, TVL prints. But depth that survives a redemption wave without slippage destroying trust? That costs millions a year, every year, forever. Someone underwrites the risk and charges for it. Quoted liquidity and reliable liquidity are different products — and the gap is paid in inventory risk and idle capital. For RWA-backed stables it's worse: tokenized assets, FX, and commodities are far less capital-efficient than synthetics. Only Spark, Ethena, and Grove can underwrite this at scale. Everyone else issues a token and prays for organic depth that never comes. That's why your favorite new stablecoin will quietly die. Not from a depeg. From the liquidity bill.

  Anthropic is going down-market. Claude for Small Business drops into Quickbooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign, Google Workspace, and M365. SMBs are 44% of US GDP. The frontier labs are not only chasing enterprises. They are chasing everyone else.

  Right now, most creators use: 📲 Telegram 📲 WhatsApp 💳 random Stripe links 💸 PayPal or platforms like Whop and WINIBLE The problem? 👇 These platforms are: 🚫 too restrictive 🚫 not professional enough 🚫 overloaded with fees 🚫 bad for long-term branding Meaning creators lose money AND control. 💀

  Geez Designz (@Geezdznz) reported 59 minutes ago

  Really disappointed with @PayPal @AskPayPal They marked my transfer from PayPal to my bank account as “completed,” but I still haven’t received the money. What makes this worse is that this has happened before — and I ended up losing the money entirely. Their support system is honestly pathetic. Calls never get picked up, there’s barely any proper way to explain the issue to a real person, and the automated support never even addresses the actual problem. This is people’s hard-earned money. Completely unacceptable experience for freelancers and creators depending on timely payments.
