  @Cal_I_Guess No option to add Paypal. The only reliable way is buying giftcards which only come in 1k,2k,3k etc. if i wanna buy a game thats 599 i gotta pay an extra 400 to get a 1000 rupee gift card and only use half on the digital purchase. Not the case with physical. Unless they fix this+

  @quizzicalsystem Oh for sure, this is in no way meant as a critique of you. It's paypal & Peter Thiel that are the problem, taking advantage of ppl. Honestly, if I had the werewithal to put up w the BS I'd probably have all the links to all the crowdfunding sites

  @ShaneSchleger Nope. It’s 100% true. I called their customer care three times reporting the issue. Each time they told me they would correct the issue. I left the money in my PayPal account for months. I finally decided I wanted to earn interest on it so I moved it to my high yield savings account earmarked for PayPal.

  @AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal, I can't log into PayPal. Password + email OK, but no access to old phone (Georgia → Ukraine). Email code worked once, then still asks SMS. Can't reach support without login. Help regain access/update number please. Thanks.

  @PayPal @AskPayPal I’m honestly so frustrated right now. I’ve been trying to use my PayPal account normally, but I’m suddenly having issues with my account and I can’t figure out what’s going on. I’ve tried contacting customer service and I’m still not getting a clear solution.

  . 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. .

  @AskPayPal I have been locked out of my account for 2 years, I have tried emailing many times with no reply, I can't access the message centre to resolve the issue and I can't call due to anxiety issues, can you please message me to help unlock my account?

  I’ve had a business idea running through my head for a couple of years. It’s a short-term SMS marketing concept targeted at a VERY specific group of people with a very specific need. I was thinking about it again this morning and realized something: The idea hasn’t really changed. My ability to actually build the damn thing has. A few years ago, testing this would have been a giant pain in the ***. I would have needed some combination of a web developer, designer, copywriter, database, landing page, SMS platform, payment processor, automation software, and probably somebody technical enough to make all of those things talk to each other. Suddenly, a little experiment becomes a PROJECT. And that’s before I even know if anybody wants the thing. Today, I can sit down with ChatGPT Work, Codex, Claude Code, CoWork, or another capable AI tool and say: “Here’s an idea I’ve had for a couple of years. There was too much friction to build it before. What would it take to create an MVP (minimum viable product), basically the simplest version I could put in front of real people and test?” Then we can start building. I’ll probably still need something like Twilio for SMS and Stripe or PayPal for payments. That’s fine. The difference is that the AI can quarterback the whole thing. It can help build the landing page or lightweight app, handle the database, write the copy, connect APIs and MCPs, set up automations, and stitch the specialized tools together. That changes the economics of experimenting with a business idea. You can vibe code a workable version, put it in front of actual humans, see what happens, learn, and iterate. If people actually want it, THEN you can decide how much you want to invest in making it better and scaling it. Which got me thinking… How many good ideas are sitting in our mental graveyards because they were too expensive, too technical, or just too much of a pain in the *** to build when we first had them? Maybe it’s worth digging a few of those back up. Grab one and tell your favorite AI tool: “I had this idea a few years ago, but there was too much friction to build it. Given what’s available today, how could we create a simple version and test it?” Some of those old ideas might make a hell of a lot more sense in 2026. 👊🏻

  @AskPayPal EMERGENCY: Case ID PP-R-MCW-635878992 is auto-closing in 30 minutes. The buyer committed return tracking fraud by uploading the original outbound tracking number instead of returning the item. Phone support is down. PLEASE PAUSE CASE CLOSURE FOR HUMAN REVIEW.

  @valkyrieinpink Just got it! I tried the other way first but it was declined as a high-risk transaction. 🙄 Went through PayPal no issue.

  @HelpSupercard @2KSupport My web store checkout has been broken since Thursday. Filed a ticket, got ZERO responses, and you just sent me a satisfaction survey for a ticket you silently closed. PayPal works fine everywhere else. Please have a human look at my account.

  @grandarchivetcg Unfortunately gonna miss this because coretcg doesint accept paypal even though the website does. It seems to send the request for payment before you can choose shipping. So once the shipping is added later it errors out. Please choose a reputable company for sales in the future

  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.

  @OaklabsAlerts I tried to order something (a build and battle box for brilliant stars) and I got the same payment error that I had during the 30th booster bundle drop. Tried mobile and laptop with Apple Pay, credit card and PayPal.

  @PayPal Geez? Its already been 3 years?! I know its the stablecoin I prefer most. Mainly because you don't charge to buy and sell. But hey, why is the app so bogged down & glitch? Love the black screen (finally) & I have seen a few problems since the change.

  @RobSchneider The government can track down every penny you put in a PayPal transaction selling a used bicycle, but refuse to track down the real criminals funding this ****.
