@tails_cat36544 That's the problem. I don't trust PayPal. Even ebay dropped them, so they must have had good reason to do so, after years of using them..

@martianwyrdlord This hellscape is long in the making. Almost 10 years ago I had issues with Ebay and Paypal that made me realize even then that customer service almost did not exist and in most cases they could get away with doing almost anything to almost anyone. It is grim and getting worse.

@begraced @thejobchick During the pandemic my eBay side hustle became my full time hustle because it didn't shut down. They started randomly freezing my payouts indefinitely and no1 had answers. When I told them that I needed that money...2 not starve, their suggestion? Sign up for a PayPal credit card

@Crunchyroll or anyone else I need h e l p: I’ve been trying to renew my membership but I keep getting a "An unexpected error has occurred. Please check your details and try again” at the payment window. I’ve tried my card, I’ve tried my PayPal (1/?)

@ems77_ @jmclaughlin9191 @JoJoFromJerz Balance the deficit was never a problem... there are always countries who export more than import. The US imports more goods. But when it comes to X, Paypal, Ebay, Amazon it's the other way around. Have you ever heard that other countries complain about this? No you haven't!

Early 2000s: eBay was the king of online auctions. But there was one major problem: Its internal payment system, Billpoint, was failing. Meanwhile, buyers & sellers were quietly using a little startup instead… PayPal.

@GodsFavGooner @CounterStrike They should make it similar to paypal goods & services vs family pay where you have optional protections, the real fix would be enforcing 2FA by having it as a requirement for trades (not just steam guard confirmations), which would make it WAY more secure... but its valve lol

@thedigitaldash_ When I had this happen, the pic the driver sent was at another address. I went to the local processing USPS office and asked about it, and they did a report and helped me track it down. It was a scam sale. So they gave me paperwork for PayPal to get my money back, and PP refunded

I know average prices, just cant seem to sell, eBay won't let me sell, Disgogs keeps saying light in error, don't know my password to link PayPal and the phone number is over 10 years old, tried to open a new PayPal but won't let me in, eBay has restricted me on everything connected to them and PayPal.

@CheckOutMyCards @eBay The communication with updates and fixes needs to be better. Sites been down for hours and not even a post recognizing it, bid on a live auction yesterday, eBay connected to COMC and was charged via PayPal bc apparently live auctions can't be paid with your COMC balance anymore.

It isn’t ridiculously uncommon to not accept Amex. Top example from my mind is eBay. My guess for not accepting discover is the size of the user base. I have not met a single person who uses discover as his/her main card. It is weird not to offer PayPal as an alternative since I have never had the issue of a store not accepting Amex and PayPal (other than the My Nintendo Store, where I just put down a MasterCard)

@AppleSupport Please how I can chat the support!?? I have problem here!! I have $20 in my Apple Store account, and when I buy something in the game, it tells me that I must have PayPal or a credit card. The problem is that I live in Libya, and this is impossible for us.

I made a @krakenfx account years ago and promptly forgot about it after trading a few times. I went back because of the $DOG listing and I must say it's a really really good exchange now. Also their marketing is next level. Once the DE issues get fixed I will also be using @Krak to send money to Germany, something I've used PayPal for in the past (which is a horrible experience).

What is $HANA Gateway? Today the major means to trading crypto to fiat or fiat to crypto, is by p2p on CEXs like Binance, Bybit and Bitget. These CEXs most of the time have lots of problems, they require KYC, they have the ability to hold or freeze your assets for days. Which most times takes a long and stressful process to recover. But with the $HANA Gateway, you don’t have to show your ID (KYC), Pay high fees, or have issues of your money getting held or information getting accessed illegally. Hana Gateway is like your regular crypto exchange but without a middleman. It’s a peer-to-peer (P2P) tool tha lets you buy or sell crypto directly with someone else. No big exchange in the middle taking fees, no KYC, no high fees, and you always control your funds. It works by connecting two people who want to buy and sell crypto together. Let’s say David wants to sell Solana and I want to buy Solana with my dollar, i make the payment from PayPal and once David confirms it, the system uses ZK-SNARKS to prove the payment happened and then releases the solana to my wallet. You can trade crypto with full privacy now, It’s safer, cheaper, and gives you full control.

@EE I receive the message "Sending failed. Message barred." It was fine only a couple of days ago. I can't login to PayPal because I can't receive their SMS/call to verify my account anymore. The only option I have from yr website is to write you a letter.

I know many Nigerians who go to China often and do business with Chinese people. I do business myself with Chinese people all the time. I’ve never had issues with a vendor on Ali express, Ali baba or Temu. I have had MANY issues on eBay, Amazon, PayPal etc. The Chinese I deal with in Nigeria in my recycling business pay me on time and do what they say they will. Americans and Canadians have cheated me personally A LOT You should understand these things because as I gather you are in a business that’s heavy reliant on Chinese imports. I cannot speak to more than that. What I can tell you confidently is that I cannot wait to visit China and I am not worried. I am confident I will enjoy my trip and not have any problems.
