Deepak Mohan (@theDmohan) reportedI have used paypal for so long, but now I know why it’s so ****** and terrible! All the freelancers, agencies DO NOT USE PAYPAL ! @PayPal @AskPayPal
-
Todd Wilson (@twilson1970) reported@PayPal What makes you think it's ok to issue a refund to a consumer's disputed payment after the seller has provided PROOF of shipment & delivery of the order. You act like you're doing everyone a favor. The truth is this practice simply adds cost to businesses accepting paypal.

DisgruntledPatriot (@Freaky4Freedom) reported@DorLinder @MAC_ARMY1 I got a letter from PayPal saying the investigation of my account was complete and they found that I owe them money. Problem is I don't have a PayPal account. I deleted it.

Fraktyr (@Gr_immi) reported@esbellesantos I was using PayPal for awhile but switched to using Stripe. For new accounts there is a 7 day hold so they confirm your bank info. But I haven't had any problems with it.

Fiona@PLAY BOTH PARANORMASIGHTS (@ThornheartCat) reportedFedEx won’t let me pay a duty… it keeps saying error when I try to use PayPal and when I put my card info in it says it’s wrong… is it because it’s a debit card and not a credit card? I don’t have a credit card, what do I look like, a functioning member of society???
-
Denis B (@AdHominemIzBad) reported@grok @InThis2getherWW @ns123abc Do you see that x is not the same as Paypal or venmo or Cash App as those platforms are not social network platforms that encourage discussions on large volumes. Do you not see how odds of violating TOS of X even by error are vastly greater than examples you've provided?

Conrad'Os - Comms open! (@Conrad_Os) reportedI want everyone to know that I have a terrible memory and wouldn't remember your real name from seeing it on paypal anyway LOL

xpaml (@jstalloser) reported@AskPayPal I am writing to formally escalate my issue regarding the limitation placed on my account and the inability to access my funds. I would like to clearly state that I have not engaged in any activity that violates PayPal’s policies.
-
Crypto Quick Hits (@CryptoQuickHits) reportedPayPal is pushing SHARPLY higher on a CNBC report suggesting that new CEO Enrique Lores plans on separating Venmo into its own business unit! This could make the Venmo business easier to sell later down the line.
-
Anthonoise (@Anthonoise) reported@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.

RunyaChan 💫🪽 VTuber💫🪽 Dokomi 10D13 (@RunyaChanVT) reported@Chaos_Munchkin I have a business PayPal in Germany you have to have your IRL name and the IRL name of the other person on the invoice otherwise she will have a lot of issues with the IRS 🫠

M/Y MidnightSalt (@MYMidnightSalt) reported@Conste11ation Just wanted you to know what the "first purchase" experience was like. The first purchase was declined.. It was to buy Dag on Uphold using Paypal through Gemini. It was a mastercharge issue, not a problem with my account. However, the "customer service" person did not know what digital assets were, did not know what DAG was, did not know what Constellation was, and thought it would be fun to speak at the exact same time I was asking where could I use the card to buy digital assets. Im curious why the employees have no idea how to buy DAG or where the card works to buy $DAG? Or is Gemini just another card that you cant buy digital assets that you get back digital assets instead of cash when you use the card? Basically worthless for buying digital assets?

Jayyyylala (@Jayyyylala1) reported@woolongist since we know PayPals that are linked to that account as well.. if only there is a way to take their PayPal down and stopped the funding

Paul Michael Pineda (@paulmpineda) reported@xatacrypt @Chance_ Stripe would breath life in to PayPal! Hope it happens. The PayPal app feels broken sometimes.

Eric Carlson (@theericcarlson) reportedEveryone's talking about fully automating their ad accounts with AI. I think that's a mistake. Here's why. When PayPal was getting destroyed by fraud in the early days, they had a hacker named Igor who kept breaking through. They tried full automation to stop him. It didn't work. Actually caused more problems. So they tested something different. Algorithm plus human. AI flagged the patterns. Humans made the calls. That combination is what eventually became Palantir. One of the biggest AI companies in the world. And they still use that same model today. AI with human workflow. And that makes sense if you think about it. If everyone has access to the same AI tools and everyone automates the same way, that just becomes the floor. The baseline. The minimum. So where does the edge come from? Not from automating everything. From automating the right pinch points and keeping humans in the loop for the decisions that actually matter. I built a creative analysis tool that pulls 90 days of ad data, transcribes videos, generates scene notes, and maps performance to patterns. That used to take 6 hours manually. Now it runs in the background in 15 to 50 minutes. But I still sit down and interpret it. I still make the calls on what to test next. The AI compresses the grunt work. The human finds the alpha. Everyone's racing to remove themselves from the process entirely. I'm racing to stay in it. Just at a higher level.

Elevate Dreams (@ElgDreams55370) reportedGlobal payment platforms are not equally accessible to every business For many African founders, the issue is not demand or credibility It is structure Payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Square operate within specific systems

ＺＥＦＩ (@zefirium) reportedI lost $54 on a PayPal transfer I don’t understand companies that still haven’t opened crypto accounts for payments and expenses, especially when it’s fully available to them. Example: I invoiced $500 (for content) Received $487 (???) on my PayPal account Then I had to withdraw to my PLN account = internal exchange at a terrible rate. I wasted a full hour because my bank isn’t supported by PayPal for direct withdrawal, and I had to pay extra Euros in additional fees. Result: one hour of my time + only $446/500 on my balance. I hate banks and centralization, but unfortunately, most AI projects still pay content creators exactly like this.

Darshak Vasoya (@VasoyaDarshak) reportedUnbelievable. Now @coursera is closing my new support tickets without even replying, despite their own policy and 'Cora' confirming my refund eligibility earlier. I’ve officially opened a dispute with PayPal to get my €42 back. Fix your support system. #coursera

Shaffaf Ahmed (@shaffaafahmed) reportedPayPal PayPal PayPal. Why always talking about PayPal when we have access to Chinese markets? Why not try to leverage what we have first before trying to get access to something else. This obsession with the west is keeping us down.

ᥫ᭡ ❀ (@WRITTENBYNAMl) reported@decoplum18 @PayPal Did you use a nickname or your actual name? I once, had this issue and it was because my pen name didn't match my info. 😭 I eventually got back. I verified my email and gave them my ID and stuff.

James Inman (@_james_inman) reported@brivael The problem with this metaphor is you assume the teacher is dumb. She's the teacher. She's older, wiser, and knows what she's talking about. The kids on the playground are playing with Pokémon. PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX are only Pokémon. We could easily live life without them.
