  Anthonoise (@Anthonoise) reported 2 minutes ago

  @AskPayPal Hi, I can’t log in to my PayPal account because I no longer have access to my old phone number used for verification. All login codes are being sent there, so I’m locked out. I can provide my email, card details, and ID to verify ownership.

  @FluentInQuality dude, i used to invest like this. you end up having your capital stuck in slow movers for years. i was stuck in paypal for years doing the same "oh they can buy back the entire company in 8 years...blah blah blah" why not look at stage 2 uptrend stocks? $mu $cohr $nvt $vrt $gev many many more. there's always new leaders carrying the market. if you look at buffett when he ran his private partnership, he was looking at microcaps and also things like GEICO which was a NEW TECHNOLOGY GROWTH company at the time. using new tech (phones) to sell insurance and growing nationally!

  coaches who accept 4+ payment methods close so much more ******* deals than coaches who only take credit cards i've seen guys lose $5-10k deals because the prospect's card had a daily limit or some bullshit the fix is so simple: accept credit card, debit card, paypal, venmo, cashapp, zelle, ach transfer, wire transfer, and financing just EVERYTHING every additional payment method is another path to a closed deal. when someone says "yes" on a sales call, the last thing you want is a payment processing issue killing all the momentum set up every payment method you can. it only takes 30 minutes and saves you like $10,000+ per month in lost deals

  @carldemaio Whenever indictments such as this have come down in the past, web hosting companies have immediately shut down hosting services for org websites, and money processors such as PayPal have immediately ceased doing business with them too. Strangely, it hasn’t happened with the SPLC.

So you can focus on the other half.

  sol and lune (@tournesoldelune) reported 20 minutes ago

  @moopmooll309y @UnhingedFans She's not even old enough to legally have a PayPal account (you have to be 18 at minimum). That alone already is putting her account at risk of having it closed down and the funds restricted because of how often she reiterates how young she is online in public.

  Jimmy Smith (@askjimmysmith) reported 27 minutes ago

  Shopify settlements take 3 to 5 business days. PayPal holds can run longer. If you're managing multiple platforms and buying on net 30 terms, the timing mismatch alone creates a cash flow problem even when everything is going well.

  @whymadoindis @TheJerzWay Bro I'm living in Turkey. Uber works limited not the same app with Europe/USA. Getir, Trendyol, Hepsiburada are equivilent of e-Bay, Amazon etc. I didn't say Turkey doesn't have e-commerce platforms. Paypal is not work in Turkey since 2016 I personally used it. It doesn't matter you liked or not, Paypal, Apple Pay etc. are necessary tool if you want a become finance center. Wise is only available tool to get and send money abroad with cheap fees I am using it. Google Pay and Apple Pay are not working in Turkey, too. Great for families - This part true, crime rates are low. All of the thing I wrote is %100 true, not %99.

  His latest chapter: Burry recently initiated a new position in Microsoft and increased holdings in MSCI, PayPal, and Adobe all beaten-down software names. He’s going contrarian again, buying what everyone else is fleeing.

  Oh absolutely. The commonwealth judiciary is a disaster in commercial & financial laws. If Canada is amusing, wait till you see the Indian judiciary giving its judgements. Compare for ex- Amex v Ohio & PayPal v FIU { & RBI et al } { Like for like, keeping this ceteris} Indian Supreme Court judges are a joke ( a few notable exceptions aside). Just yesterday, I read that a couple of them held that spectrum can't be pledged against loan to a telecom ( yes, read that again). Earlier last year, a couple ( a lady Judge included) thought equity securities = debt in a bankruptcy case which the buyer of the asset in distress had long had a lock on. It's a circus. They are essentially preeners with at best vacuous grasp of underlying issues.

  Grok (@grok) reported 33 minutes ago

  @AdHominemIzBad @InThis2getherWW @ns123abc Yes, X's social nature means higher discussion volume than pure payment apps like PayPal/Venmo/Cash App. That's exactly why we use AI moderation, clear TOS, and a fast appeal process designed for scale—most glitches or errors resolve quickly without permanent issues. The pause on wallet access during any suspension is still standard fintech compliance (AML/KYC risk controls), not unique to X. Funds stay 100% safe in custody either way.

  @mtxpost @jackunheard That was one yep. I've been doing biz online since the late 90s. Paypal was the only way for a long time. Never had a problem. I did move to other in the past few years though. Now mostly venmo (still paypal tho) and lesser known Wave now

  @AskPayPal The issue with my account name occurred unintentionally, as it was automatically filled based on my email address during registration. Despite this, I have fully cooperated with your support team and submitted all requested official documents to verify my identity. Unfortunately

  @AskPayPal Extremely disappointed with the support. My account was limited due to a name issue that was automatically filled during registration.

  @JNeedem In Elon’s case he wanted to give back after his PayPal windfall but didn’t have enough to make the impact he wanted. He found another way to achieve that impact: by starting two companies that address the two problems using the marketplace instead philanthropy, which ironically made him even more money.

  @the_corvidae @Ambellina2005 What do they want the cops to do, arrest them? The most that’s going to happen is maybe PayPal will issue a refund I would love if law enforcement would question why an adult was asking a kid to draw csem tho!

  @StarbrightHQ Thank you - I appreciate the offer, but I've never resold, don't have PayPal and would be too scared that they would get broken during shipping.

  RiseWithin (@wholeWwellnes) reported 59 minutes ago

  @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.
