  Matt Hunter (@MattHunterCoach) reported 4 minutes ago

  The best decision PayPal ever made came out of a fierce disagreement between its two top leaders. Max Levchin wanted to send money between Palm Pilots.  Peter Thiel saw limited market potential and said so, clearly and directly. Neither backed down easily. Neither softened the message for the sake of harmony. Out of that clash came a pivot to email money transfers that eventually led to a $1.5 billion acquisition by eBay. When talented people argue honestly toward the truth, great things happen.

  @t_anairo People tell you to stop using paypal because you clearly don't understand how to use it properly. if you really need it then at the very least move the money over to your bank as soon as you get it. Your problem is that you use it to store your money, not to transfer it

  @Devon_Eriksen_ @artwithinpod He has the capital & the clout - that's what matters. He doesn't engineer anything anymore. I think he was good w PayPal - One problem with today- Tech bros get successful in one specific area- they get an ego & think they're extremely special geniuses in all other areas.

  @NamesakeGeodite It's true, the new PayPal policy and support are terrible. They took $700 from my main account for nothing and won't give it back. This was my money for the month, I got into trouble because of it

  @Icerzzxx @PredAlerter Lol. It's not about them getting in trouble and off the streets.. It's about these guys luring people to a meet where they outnumber them and they can smack em around and seem like heros to the low IQ. While they're back home checking their PayPal account and counting all the donations. The Peds they 'caught' are back home creeping on kids lol. Wtf did they do other than entertain you and take your money?

  I never had a problem with Paypal ever since I started using it since 2023, so I don't know why these artists are experiencing these kinds of problems. I just send invoice with TOS and detailed information, get paid, and that's it.

  @NamesakeGeodite Its probably more about not using paypals business account. I have been using paypal to write invoices for about 6-7 years now, no issues. But I am sure if I had used a "personal" account there instead of using their business one they´d eventually have complained.

  @RobertJSalvador ROBERT Chris just asked BUYRON about his insider trading and BUYRON with his anger issues exploded into a bevy of angry lies and trying to cover up his crimes.. who knew that one could earn 600% profit return on just casually doing stock trades? BUYRON needs to educate the FL VOTERS ON HOW HE IS SO DARN GOOD AT PICKING THOSE STOCKS! CURIOUS JUST HOW DID BUYRON KNOW ABOUT THE DOJ CIVIL LAWSUIT AGAINST PAYPAL WOULD BE SETTLED SO QUICKLY AFTER HE PURCHASED THEIR STOCK? GEEZ WHAT A RETURN OF AN INVESTMENT THAT WAS! PURCHASING IT IN MARCH 2026 AND BAM SETTLED IN MAY 2026! HIS SURPRISING SUCCESS EVEN CAUGHT THE NOD OF OUR VERY OWN DOJ AG HARMEET DHILLION.. SHE COMMENTED ON BUYRONS SHOCKINGLY GROWING STOCK MARKET SUCCESSES! WHAT A GUY! HE IS A STOCK MARKET SAVANT!

  Wait if you operate under your legal name you don’t legally have to register anything. Is PayPal still shutting people down for operating legally like that? I’m in Canada and you only need a license or permit if you have a business name to register.

  Hello everyone>< I'm a new artist to this overseas platform, so I have quite a few questions... How do people usually pay when using Vgen? I see many people using PayPal, but I've also heard that its drawbacks include having money held or account locked. How to fix it?😭

  @noisy_engineer @inkfycreates Yes, part of the reason that PayPal has had success is they managed to navigate around all the regulatory issues that make sending money a giant nightmare. There is a reason why many of their competitors usually feel more restrictive in one way or another.

  @CambionKami @NamesakeGeodite oh now you've done it. all the "all characters are +18 and why did my paypal and patreon get closed down?" are going to be very upset with you stating basic logic.

  @NamesakeGeodite The problem might not be paypal as much as the country you live in. Different places have different income laws that paypal is forced to abide to.

  @DragonKnight_15 In my country, PayPal transfers everything at the end of the day, and I've never had any problems, even when I'm the one who sends the transfer to the bank, so 🤷🏽

  @SStricklandMMA I’m broke as ****. Probably get me for $1000. I would have no problem posting pro Israel content if they paid me $1000. I think that’s a fair deal. If anyone’s listening, I have PayPal and Cash app. For just a little bit of money, this becomes a Neil Diamond fan tribute page.

  @NamesakeGeodite if you're keeping that much money in your paypal account trying to use it as a bank account, that's just skill issue. You played yourself.

  @NateTheLance @NamesakeGeodite definitely. This has been a problem for years and has sunk quite a few small businesses. They get away with it because despite fufilling all the conditions, paypal is not legally a bank and therefore does not fall under the same regulations. I occasionally use paypal just for processing but never leave money with them directly.

  StreamerTV 📺 (@Str3amerTV) reported 54 minutes ago

  @NamesakeGeodite The problem that many miss here, is because you are taking payments from a random source that paypal don't recognise. a easy flag for the system & if you get continuous payments, enough to pay tax then you should have an accountant that will register you as self employed or limited company. I can guarantee if you set this up & show paypal legitimate background business, this can get easily removed as a accountant can also back you up. A lot of people do this just to avoid tax with a lil side hustle. Register as self employed & thank me later.

  The issue is the fact Paypal is basically one of the only international payment apps that Canada allows that lets most people all over the world be able to purchase from me and many others.

  @fsonic3 I've been using PayPal for 10 years, and I pay every tax and transaction they require. The common problem or pattern I see in every post, Reddit thread, etc., is the indiscriminate use of AI moderation.
