Astro Greek (@astro_greek) reportedWhat makes Elon Musk so good at detecting fraud and scams? Here’s the full list: • First-principles thinking: he breaks everything down to fundamentals instead of trusting hype • PayPal days taught him that fraudsters complain the loudest (real customers stay calm) • Insane pattern recognition from seeing thousands of pitches, contracts & scams up close • Zero tolerance for bullshit: he doesn’t need to be liked • Engineering mindset: follows incentives, money trails & data like a bug in code • Been burned before: sharpened his radar permanently

z (@zesqyb) reported@FrankF639800 So currently the main way people are getting money in is through Crypto transfers or PayPal. Some are able to accept money to their banks but as far as I know many of their accounts have been shut down or are inaccessible. Once the organizer of the fundraiser page receives the money, they usually send it to the person in Gaza’s crypto PayPal or bank account, then that person goes to a middleman who they transfer those funds and then get cash usually for a % commission. It is inconvenient for them but unfortunately they have to survive. Hope that makes sense

Jenna Ryan (@realjennaryan) reportedRyan v. PayPal - This case is about PayPal shutting down Jenna Ryan’s account on January 21, 2021 after she shared a fundraiser link on Twitter and raised approximately $200. She had used her PayPal account for roughly fifteen years. Less than an hour after closing the account, PayPal’s Director of Reputation, Kim Eichorn, spoke to national media outlets, including CBS News, and stated that Jennifer had violated PayPal fundraising policies by raising money for purposes other than legal defense. Jennifer contends those statements were false because no such “legal-defense-only” restriction existed in the user agreement. #ryanvpaypal

George (@George_Dubs_) reported@ebittdah @Jclouie1Im But that’s why it’s so smart, the market will pay kings ransom for the growing but unprofitable business that is Venmo and put no value on the slow growing money printing machine that is PayPal. Huge value unlock. They can sell Venmo and still maintain buybacks/FCF

VeNooM (@IhabAlfattahy2) reported@AskPayPal @dhaneeshc @AskPayPal.m locked out of my account. I don't have access to my authenticator app and the SMS option was removed. I cannot use the website 'Call Us' verification because it requires a login I can't perform. Please help me reset my 2FA.

PanamaSea_Studios (@PSea_Studios) reported@nono2357 Absolutely love this! Working on a very similar business, PanamaSeaeSIM. No account or login required. eSIM access is tied to Order ID. Our site doesn’t track or log user metadata info like IP or device fingerprinting. We currently are launching with PayPal as our payment processor but have plans to include crypto payments in the future as well. Would love to hear about your experience so far growing.

Tamaraebi Deborah Engbi (@TamaraebiEngbi) reported@PayPal How do I fix to a customer support agent I have never done a transaction immediately I create my PayPal account you people put it on the limited why

Sarah Vee (@rsVeeV) reportedThere are upsides and downsides to both methods. Personally I use the non-steam method directly through Square. 1) I can still use paypal, and have never had payment method issues. (I primarily use credit card. If people have payment issues, chances are this isn't the only 🧵

kelvin (@kelvin20566282) reported@PayPal @AskPayPal Why is it that when an African receives money, it suddenly becomes a problem for PayPal? If you don’t support us fairly, then just block the service completely instead of targeting legitimate users. My account got permanently limited after receiving only $20.

Fabian Häusle (@Lausbub2001) reported@nataninvesting PayPal is down 22 % Ydt and 8 % of your Portfolio Seems significant as well

MIKΞ STAHL (@mikeastahl) reported@ryancohen Stopped selling with them years ago when people would buy and receive product, say it was broken and ebay/paypal would side with them when all they really wanted was to get an item for free or deep discount. 1985 wants the design back.

Albin Gasi (@alvrixdev) reportedHas anyone managed to connect PayPal Vault with guest checkout? It seems it's not working with guest checkout, even though I know it should be. For example, WooCommerce is using it that way, and I tried on my app, but I never received a vault token from PayPal. #paypal #question

nijiiro🫧 (@chizuchiii1) reported@CierraTenshi i have the same issue. call them, this is clearly their mistake. or if you have any alternatives, switch to them, because for me, vgen doesn't have ukraine in the list of supported countries :( wish you luck, paypal is horrible service.

Frankie171717 (@frankie171717) reported@AnnabethUnbound @calvinrobinson Oh sh!t you diss Fr Calvin for asking for donations and yet you do the same.. Why should I donate to you.. Fix your website first. You are grifting for a few quid on Paypal.

CoinGo (@CoinGoNet) reported⚡ PayPal and Google Cloud just said agentic commerce at scale needs crypto rails. Open payment protocols. Machine-readable catalogs. Multi-party custody. Translation: AI agents buying and selling autonomously can't run on legacy banking. Too slow, too closed, too human. This isn't hype. This is infrastructure mapping. #Crypto #Payments 👉 @coingonet

Naomi Ackermann (@royalty_naomi) reported@Justin788476172 Reporting to PayPal isn't helping. If this isn't resolved yet, reach out to @Findyourasets for recovery assistance if you have fraud related issues @justin788476172

Moot Point, Stocks + AI (@amootpoint) reported@BullTradeFinder Does this feel like $PYPL ? Broken thesis but good prints ? Paypal never recovered after the downside from 300.

RJC 1776 (@RJC1776US) reported@LoneStarMedics Yeah PayPal is the problem. I tried more than once on different devices. Sorry about that.

Aryan Potdar (@AryanPotdar) reported@AskPayPal My account has been limited and the Resolution Center won't load (system error). I'm an independent contractor with a legitimate US client payment on hold. Can you DM me so I can share account details privately and resolve this? Thanks.

Tim (@Oregonian4Trump) reported@end3of6days9 I recently paid off my PayPal Mastercard I've had for over 10 years. Within 2 days of paying my account balance off my credit limit was cut from $17,500.00 down to $380.00. Total BS cost me 18 points on my credit score.

S0L0 (@StebieVunder) reported@PayPal @AskPayPal why are you now hanging up on my phone calls after I asked u the past 3 days to fix my account. I want my account deleted immediately and a letter sent to collections

O’TRAK (@SireErfan) reported@coinbureau actually, what @BosonProtocol is building with x402B fits very closely with exactly the problems PayPal and Google Cloud were describing at Consensus Miami. $BOSON The key point is this: x402 mainly solves machine payments Boson x402B to solve machine commerce

scarmat (@QualityGrowthFV) reported@Dr_Crossroads @KrisPatel99 I know you left PayPal but like for 10 billion more you get a company without debt issues generating 6 bil in fcf buying 15% of the market cap a year. Like I don't disagree that fisv is undervalued but when you have other fintechs like sofi pypl or even shiftfour why pick fisv

SK Bronkhorst ✝️🇺🇸🇮🇱 (@SkBronkhorst) reported@trueusagoods I placed an order with this company. I am now trying to cancel it. The website changed the color of what I ordered, it decided to run my credit card through Paypal even though I clicked Paypal off, and it has a wierd “add a tip” that defaults to adding a tip unless you use the custom function to say zero, I guess? Also, the payment goes through to an individual name rather than the name of the company. I would overlook one of these errors but not all of them. I’ve requested the order be cancelled, if it works I will update.
