Sean Irish (@RealSeanIrish01) reported@LandlordLinks @AmberWoods100 @GreyAreaMonarch I placed a book order with you this morning knowing EXACTLY what I ordered, and then PayPal somehow goofed that up... check your site email, I have it detailed there and no problems, we'll work it out and no rush. 'gremlins' of course.

D3xxyyyyy (@Dexxythevexxy) reportedYknow what? Down payments of $50 before talking. Im tired of wasting time. If I dont get the paypal/venmo notification, I'm not talking

The Few Bets That Matter (@WealthyReadings) reported@zebaloobie My problem remains the same, those are math. The market isn't about math. If no one has a reason to buy PayPal, those math don't matter at all... On the paper, I'd agree with you, In pratice, no

Eze • 💢 • (@0xEze_) reported12/ At Consensus Miami last week, Google Cloud's head of Web3 strategy said something direct: "An agent cannot get a bank account. It's not hard, it just is impossible." What’s more, a @PayPal survey found that 95% of merchants already see AI agent traffic on their sites. But only 20% have the infrastructure to handle it. Meanwhile, @McKinsey estimates that AI agents could mediate up to $5 trillion in global commerce by 2030. So, the agent economy is fast arriving. And the rails it will run on are being decided right now. But one problem that is not yet solved cleanly is Custody. → How do agents touch user funds without custody?

Ghost (@D4vdReece) reported443 products. Built by AI. Delivered automatically. No humans touched anything. The future is already here. You just arent fast enough. PayPal IPN + zero server costs + infinite scale. This is what unlimited AI power looks like.

Common Sense 🇺🇸💙 (@commons96055467) reportedBreak up Amazon to 3 companies. Meta to 2 companies. Spin off Space X and X from Elon other companies. PayPal and Palantir to two separate companies. Divest Ellison’s media holdings. Limit Murdoch media empire to one or two. Voila, America’s problems are solved. Democracy restored.

BeatTheBotz (@BeatTheBotz) reported@cryptorover PayPal is a reminder that even dominant companies can become terrible investments if expectations and valuations get too far ahead of reality.

gökhan 🇲🇰 🇧🇬 (@gokhansanirimm) reported@giffgaff Hello. I have a problem. I have about £150 in my account, but PayPal is banned in my country. What can we do about this? I don’t want my money to be lost.
-
moizah / COMMS ABERTAS .ᐟ (@von_demello) reported@EmilyMary35hh @mello Yes, but i have a problem, my paypal account is not working to receive order kinds of currencies (other than BRL). So, i'm not accepting international ordering... sorry 🫠🫠🫠 I'll let you know when everything gets normal.

wiper (@andersonthecat) reported@j3w7a @comms2point0 i actually did get someone in support chat, they escalated and supposedly are getting back to me. i don’t think i need blockchain forensics, it’s just the paypal stable coin. i need paypal to fix their withdrawal glitch…

-
Karl (@Maxxl94) reported@Retailer1041 @TechEquityEng @amitisinvesting Paypal is profitable but stock is going down. Same logic could be applied to reddit (at least for the next two quarters). Fyi: I'm a shareholder in reddit but small position. Will add if it goes to 100 or at the end of the year due to new licensing deals
-
paulmary (@paulmary70) reported@slothnotsorry @0xAdesola Or what you should have done was the link they sent to your email, click on it then it will take you to that tremendous visa card page, click on the drop down and change the country from Nigeria to USA then if you have or know anyone with PayPal account select and send it there.

Nat 🌻 (@ayammmentega) reportedi have a problem with my paypal account right now gulp 😥 i'll close the form for now, if the issue cannot be resolved i might close and cancel all overseas order. i'll try contacting their support team later in the morning. i'm very sorry for the inconvenience aaaa 🥹🙏💦💦

RYCHE (@FahdHussein) reported@HasanEssam29636 Your fundraiser can only accept payment by paypal. That is funny because the rest of the chuffed fundraisers let you pay directly by card. I think some people like me are facing trouble with paypal and so can't donate.

Julie (@Love_Bug64) reportedFYI! No, the game “Harvest Arrows” (likely referring to “Harvest Arrow Maze” on the App Store) does not reliably cash out. It’s a logic/arrow puzzle game that heavily advertises cash rewards (e.g., PayPal withdrawals) for reaching certain levels, often promoted with claims like cashing out after level 15. However, user reviews and similar games in this category show it’s designed to keep players engaged with ads while making actual payouts extremely difficult or impossible. Common Issues Reported: • Moving goalposts: Players reach the advertised withdrawal level (e.g., 15), only to be told they now need $1,000, $10,000, or more. Earnings per puzzle often drop to fractions of a cent after a point. • No actual payouts: Many reviews describe hitting high “balances” but being unable to withdraw. The game shows fake progress (e.g., stuck at 99%) and requires endless ads without delivering real money. • Scam-like tactics: Similar arrow/tap puzzle games (e.g., Arrow Way Out, Tap Arrows) are widely called out as fake cash apps that use AI-generated ads and deceptive mechanics. They monetize through ads but don’t pay users. These types of games are common on app stores. They promise easy real-money rewards but rarely (if ever) deliver, as confirmed by broader discussions on reward games. Legitimate cash-earning apps exist but usually offer much smaller, verifiable payouts through established platforms. Recommendation: Treat it as a free puzzle game for entertainment only—don’t expect or play for cash. If you’re looking for games that actually pay, stick to well-reviewed ones with transparent redemption (and low minimums), but even those typically pay very little for the time invested.

Crypto Kɑrhen (@karhen_barbiie) reportedo’ve been tracking x money for 2 months now and the rollout in 40 states is real but that playground they own flips the script too hard on open protocols like email the micr0payments and shielded onchain agents mean legacy rails like paypal get squeezed whether or not they partner with ai checkouts skeptics calling the 60 day timeline aggressive are missing how fast this incentive math shifts for everyone else just the numbers and the privacy layer make me lean toward the owned version winning in agent economies down the line

Cracked Dev (@dev_lawal) reportedWon a hackathon and just got the “send your payment details” email 😭 They said PayPal or wire transfer… meanwhile we know how PayPal in Nigeria is, and this is my first time dealing with wire transfers. Tried Grey but faced issues, now looking at @clevabanking. Thoughts?

Forgettable Beth (@ForgettableBeth) reported@TheNewRhyme This in fact happens , last year someone sent money to one of my campaigns and then refunded it. Well some how they managed to refund it about 20 + times whatever the amount my PayPal was almost 10k- It’s a huge scam tactic Took PayPal forever to fix. Rhyme keep an eye on PayPal
-
Ortis (@I_am_Ortis) reportedI wonder whether this means that the credit cartel, @Visa @Mastercard @PayPal , could no longer claim that people purchasing legal products might "damage their brand." That's the excuse they've been using to close people's businesses and shut down payment processing.
-
Nico_Xia (@nico_skys) reported@valebxiaa I’m sorry this is happening to you Val, I’ll fly down and pay you myself /silly. But still it is ****** what is happening with PayPal and all their “new change” bullshit when it’s only made to hurt people with small business. Hope they get a splinter

Ray, The Immortal🔱 (@SheFell4Russia) reportedIf you have a PayPal or venmo, there's a life hack for being able to consistently buy Bitcoin and other crypto as well as stocks throughout the day. Instant Legal Transfers type sht. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.......
