  @InTheAssembly I think the Big Bankers and the finance system in the US hate PayPal. And i think they know how to hold PP down for years.

  @pokemondealsuk I still don't know how people are getting to the point of choosing apple pay/PayPal. Every time I hit checkout I'm met with an error, then things go out of stock 😭

  Anthropic shipped Claude for Small Business. 15 workflows, 15 skills, connectors for QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign. Demoed it in Friday's session. Two things stood out. 1) US stack. Most aussie SMBs run Xero, not QuickBooks. Xero has its own MCP server now (MIT licensed). Local door is there, just not through the pack. 2) Skills are generic by design. Hit that on the tax organizer. The trigger and categories don't match an Australian BAS. The pack gets you to the door. The work begins where it stops.

  I had to temporarily suspend commissions due to issues I'm having with PayPal. I want to apologize to everyone who wanted a commission from me. I would like recommendations for international alternatives to PayPal (I live in Chile)

  @AskPayPal I deleted my previous account as i needed to change the country. Now when I try to sign up, it says the account with the email id exists. Neither password works nor Forgot Password. Something went wrong pops up. I can even ask the Assistant since I need to login.

I am really struggling and I’ve missed a lot of work this week due to this, now I’m hospitalised I know I’m gonna be here for at least five days and that’s the bare minimum. You’ll start buying the **** out of some content or bless me. I’ll post my links below. I don’t do this, but like I said, I’m having a very very hard time and this is very unexpected I’m trying to earn it and I’m not asking for handouts thank you.

  @CashApp What does it do? I can't order one because you guys shut me down for transactions you allowed to FanDuel without giving me any warning whatsoever and you won't give me a second chance. Millions of dollars worth of transactions since 2014. You lost a huge customer to PayPal now.

  @3G2point0 @CardPurchaser @eBay 1. eBay Money Back Guarantee might still help Even if you’re past the standard 30-day window from the estimated delivery date, open a “Item Not Received” request in your Purchases right away. Go to the order, hit “More actions,” and report it didn’t arrive. If the seller keeps dodging, ask eBay to step in after a few business days. They often side with buyers on non-delivery, especially with a paper trail of the seller admitting they never mailed it and promising refunds.  2. Payment method is your backup • PayPal? You usually have up to 180 days from payment for a dispute/claim. Log in and open one for “Item Not Received.” • Credit/Debit Card? Contact your bank or card issuer ASAP for a chargeback. Explain the situation with screenshots of messages, promises, and lack of delivery. Many issuers are buyer-friendly here.  3. Other steps to take now • Document everything: Save all chat messages, the original listing, tracking (if any), and dates. • Message the seller one more polite-but-firm time: “Hey, still no card or refund. Please issue it today or I’ll have to escalate with eBay/PayPal/bank.” • Check the seller’s feedback and report them if they’re sketchy. In most cases like this, buyers do get their money back one way or another – eBay hates scammy sellers too. If the amount is small, it might not be worth huge stress, but don’t let them get away with it.

  @ruppe_tr Yes my friend, it did work, thank you. My only problem with paypal is that it will take until next week to hit my account. But it will help so much until that first payday. Everything helps right now, especially with teens to look after while I try stay working 🥰

  Pasco Sheriff (@PascoSheriff) reported 48 minutes ago

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several jury duty scams that occur across Pasco County. Oftentimes, the scammer claims to be an official, sometimes using PSO and/or a PSO member’s name, to inform the potential victim that they’ve missed jury duty and must pay a fee. These payments are made via PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and similar services. Scammers may use a blocked number or spoof a PSO number, such as our general information line. PSO does not manage jury duty notifications, and we stress that these messages are not legitimate. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise.

  Onboarding new tech is best dome seamlessly - as few actions as possible, and fewer "decisions". Same goes for RWAs, tokenization, Web 3.0, whatever words we use. "Click here for a 50% discount on your remittance fee with our new high-speed program." One-click. As a parallel, let's look at mobile APIs. 50% of the people using them probably never heard the term. 99% of users don't even have a basic technical understanding of what coding language to use for an efficient secure application programming interface. That doesn't stop an estimated 4-6 million people from using mobile APIs regularly. (Sign in with Google/Apple, Pay with PayPal)

  21-year-old student living with her mum, single for 6+ months, openly admits she dates for money and will cheat if he doesn’t pay up Babe, you’re not looking for a boyfriend, you’re running a side hustle with terrible ROI. Loyalty isn’t a PayPal invoice, and the streets already have better rates.

  @RaenestApp Hi Raenest team, I'm yet to receive my new USD account details. It's been 8 long days now, even though you claimed that it'll be 2-5 days. My salary was delayed for too long, so I had to force myself to use PayPal. Now a fraction of my salary has been locked up. Please fix this!
