  @silverybarbs Oh completely understandable, but any time I see any paypal issue like this I gotta reiterate it in the hopes SOMEONE reading it might listen and change how they're using Paypal, so it doesn't happen to them going forward.

  @PayPal You may not even see this message but you better hope I don't leave a review. 1 across the board since your customer service is cheeks. Wait 3 days, no solution, wait two days, no solution, and then kicked out of chat for the same problem. 3 years member btw.

  @HattoriPonzo @tushar_jain I think most people don't care about privacy because it's not a luxury they enjoy in every day life. So you're trying to offer people a solution to a problem they have come to live with. The vast majority of fiat currency is digital. As is the vast majority of fiat currency transactions. People have come not to care that their bank or credit card issuer can see their OnlyFans subscription. In crypto the only person you're trusting to "know" your wallet address (unless you publicize it) is your crypto bank (CEX on-ramp). So if we don't mind that our fiat banks see all of the embarrassing things we buy, why would we care that our on-ramp links us to a certain "credit card number" ? Even if I go to the drugstore to buy an embarrassing ointment and pay in cash...my cell phone tracked me there and the stores CCTV captures my face. And if it's just to send money between friends without disclosing your "bank account balance" - we already have PayPal and Venmo that do that already.

  You may have heard the story last month that Pope Leo’s bank hung up on him, mistaking him for a prank caller. Today there was no such problem. At the Vatican, Treasurer Frerichs personally presented Pope Leo with an $8.65 I-Cash claim, the proceeds of an abandoned PayPal account he left behind in Illinois. "I am happy to send $8.65 to the world's most famous White Sox fan" Frerichs said.

  @DismasWaTabu We need to audit, locally costs about 20k, a lot. He agrees, gets the money later in the month, not immediately. What would happen to a person who took a loan for a project? PayPal, fix your stuff. You run guys out of business,

  @mikebelshe @Beagleboiy Exactly. People forget how excited $GLXY shareholders were about striking a deal to acquire $BTGO. "Paypal couldn't get it done, but Galaxy did!" When the market took a dive and Novo decided to scrap the deal on a technicality to try to avoid paying the $100M termination fee, many Galaxy shareholders defended Novo, saying it was just business. What about shareholders of BitGo at that time who lost the opportunity to have a hard-earned liquidity event? They trusted the deal at the cost of other opportunities. I get that Novo was looking to save his company. But he could have done this while honouring the 100M termination fee. As I've said, I think both companies thrive in the years ahead. But I will never back down from my view that Novo made a bad ethical decision on this one. And BitGo deserves the $100M payment plus legal fees at a minimum. Anyone who disagrees and thinks that Galaxy and Novo behaved righteously - I can never do business with you because I cannot trust you to do the right thing under difficult circumstances. One last thing: Novo knows exactly what he did. He knows he did the wrong thing. If this had happened in reverse, he would have sued without question. But I would not want to be judged for my worst moments, so I don't hold it against Novo or Galaxy. But Galaxy must properly compensate BitGo for real damages that occurred, and my hope is that the court comes to this rightful conclusion.

  @abuyamasta You are another imbecile?!!! Kenya is on FATF Greylist. We can blame Paypal all we want, but our issues starts with the regime that has allowed wash wash monies into the system. Till we are out of that list, international Financial firms will always have a keen look of Kenya

  @TwitchSupport @Twitch Really? You have a creator who has things set up as you suggested and their payment method was still hacked. Wouldn’t it make sense to maybe block a payee when you know they are fraudulent? I understand with PayPal it’s hard to clawback but this is kinda BS. It’s a known issue that creators are seeing over the last few months and it feels like nothing has been done to heighten security to help better block fraudulent activity. You are a big corporation please do better

  @Mahayasir248909 Crypto? I just do not know anything about that yet Maha. I need time on that. I don't own any crypto and never have. Paypal may be the only way for now will it work? We'll see. The worst thing that could happen is I have trouble sending it so I'll just give it to you via Sarah B.

  🚨 NEW: US-Iranian Tech CEO Arrested For Supplying Iran's Nuclear Program Jamshid Ghomi, the CEO of a Tehran-based technology firm, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly funneling sensitive American networking and security equipment directly to Iran’s military and nuclear facilities. Prosecutors claim he operated a massive money laundering network to bypass strict US sanctions and finance a lavish California lifestyle. His company, Faraz Pardaz Rayaneh, allegedly supplied critical equipment to Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization and the Ministry of Defense over an eight-year period. Ghomi laundered more than $15 million into American bank accounts and construction escrows, falsely reporting the illicit funds as a foreign inheritance. The 63-year-old executive utilized personal eBay and PayPal accounts to make over 400 purchases of computer networking equipment, routing the shipments through intermediaries in the United Arab Emirates. Federal prosecutors are now actively attempting to seize Ghomi’s massive $35 million mansion in Newport Beach, California, which was largely funded by foreign wire transfers. This high-profile arrest exposes severe vulnerabilities in global supply chains, revealing how hostile foreign programs can acquire restricted technology through basic e-commerce workarounds. It also marks a significant escalation in the ongoing enforcement of sweeping sanctions against Iran's manufacturing and defense sectors. Are current international export controls completely broken, or will massive asset seizures like this finally deter intermediary smuggling networks? Source: Justice Department

  @KrzyDays @vexmlk @PayPal Asking and mentioning because she said the issue they had was 2023 and I am only now hearing about these bans for this specific reason. I dont know what the policy was I just got here but that might be why this option wasnt one though everyone says it like its so obvious.
