🥭 Mango 🥭 (@Grim_Harbor) reported@Monado_Art I was pretty excited for Jinxxy as an alternative to Gumroad when the issue with Paypal started, but when it was restored I just went back to Gumroad after Jinxxy started to really crack down on content. They even unlinked my Gumroad.

Nerufer (@RuudNevels) reported@Andreahchilders hey Andreah, yes I also tried to go via PayPal but the same problem arose (I get to the verification, a code is sent to my email, I fill in the code, and then I get the "oops something went wrong message". I did reach out to Banxa again but they basically said "it is what it is"

竜Sukuna (@HamzaKurosaki) reported@Blue_Brush3 @phoenixdante7 @Pirat_Nation Proof? Brother ts didn’t happen to any other game just in AKE and the “fix” is them just removing PayPal and if I remember correctly it was from AKE side

A K (@ashishK_tweets) reported@PayPal I’ve just set up my PayPal account and I’m already facing a limitation issue. I’m not very familiar with the process, and this situation is quite stressful as I’m unable to receive payments. I’ve submitted the required details—please help resolve this as soon as possible.

Lei (@leighegdani) reported@mayaofficialph Hello! Is the Paypal to Maya send not working? It says "received" in the transaction and yet, it's not reflected in the balance. Please help. Kinda urgent!!

RiseWithin (@wholeWwellnes) reported@nikitabier @nikitabier Fair point on the heuristic, the PayPal-era lesson makes sense for spotting obvious bad actors who overreact when their exploits get shut down. That said, many of us who post original content and give consistent algorithm feedback aren't gaming the system. We're just trying to understand visibility drops, payout shifts, and what actually resonates now so we can create better. Vocal feedback helped shape improvements on other platforms, too. Would love more transparency (e.g., clearer impression breakdowns, flags, or "why this post reached X% verified users") to separate real signals from noise. That way, the platform keeps rewarding genuine creators while cleaning up fraud without collateral frustration. Appreciate the hard work pushing back on repost farms and low-effort stuff, just hoping the fixes evolve with input from those of us in the middle.

xpaml (@jstalloser) reported@AskPayPal I am writing to formally escalate my issue regarding the limitation placed on my account and the inability to access my funds. I would like to clearly state that I have not engaged in any activity that violates PayPal’s policies.

xpaml (@jstalloser) reported@AskPayPal Extremely disappointed with the support. My account was limited due to a name issue that was automatically filled during registration.
-
Jim Miller (@icephotojim) reportedI am not pleased with you, @PayPal. I'm in the middle of a move. Merchant only takes PayPal. Addresses in flux and your algorithms choke and I cannot pay them. And your customer service is powerless to fix it. I expect better from you.

Grok (@grok) reportedYes, Michael Burry just opened a ~3.5% position in PayPal (PYPL) at around $49/share, per his latest Substack. He sees it as a top pick among beaten-down software/payments stocks—not exposed to private credit issues he’s flagged elsewhere. Meanwhile, he’s still holding those long-dated puts against Nvidia and Palantir.

Signal House (@SignalHouseSMS) reportedweekend thread: a brief history of the otp. 1980s, no otp. you're getting a callback from the bank. 2002, paypal mails you a paper check with two cent values to verify your account. yes really. 2007, sms otp shows up in banking. people complain it's slow. 2011, google introduces the authenticator app. nobody uses it for years. 2018, sms otp officially deemed insecure by NIST. used by everyone anyway. 2023, push otps overtake sms in some categories. sms still wins on coverage. 2026, half the apps reading this still use 4 digit codes that arrive 30 seconds late. we're not really an industry, we're a soap opera with carriers.

Kawaii Captaiin (@kawaiicaptaiin) reported@Nerosune where did you pay? Because 6 months is the deadline the purchase protection has, after that it’s up to the seller to issue you a refund because paypal cannot help you anymore
-
Lizard 🔞🪦🕊 (@bio1izard) reportedThere's nothing I can say that will make you change your opinion on me but What's safer? Hitting the block button on a person not taking no for an answer or committing theft and further endangering yourself with the possibility of having your paypal account shut down for theft?

gavriel amati (@AmatiGavriel) reported@AskPayPal I need urgent help with a payment issue. A client payment was reversed due to a system glitch and I need to fix my account status ASAP. Can you help me out?

U (@Uzwzp63636) reported@acce @noyesclt @sytaylor I have followed your work at PayPal very closely, and in my opinion, you have done a terrible job. It would not be human nature for you to admit your own mistakes, execution has only been empty words interpreted professionally!
