Harrison Faith (@HarrisonFaith10) reported@CD_Berthran @thejavabeast Good morning I'm having issues trying to link my grey account to my PayPal account

evc (@evc189) reported@Apple I found some issues with dark mode and signing up for a PayPal account with my iPhone… the forms were all black and so was the text to the point it was invisible.. please fix.

Fraser ******* (@Fraser_Cumming) reported@ScotRail Hi Chloe, thanks for replying quickly. I've came out the app, closed it fully and gone back in and it's now showing Google Pay and PayPal. I realise now it was missing the ticket delivery option too so I think that was the main cause of the problem.

Lisa Perreault (@CrowsRoots) reported@OldSteenaIsDead @antonisanchezx As discussed multiple times, it was working fine until it was somehow flagged. Trying to fix it, but I have posted PayPal and Cash app.

Marco M. (@iMarcoMedina) reported@Supercell I need help with a Supercell Store issue. One specific COC account cannot complete any purchase (Cards, PayPal, all fail), while my other SC accounts work normally with the same payment methods. Could the Store/Payments team please review my account? Tag: #2VY9QRCJQ

Lego (@Legogodzilla702) reportedAlso it's not the subject of this post but I did not try to scam anyone out of a commission, that was a problem with discord. However, If you have an in progress commission from me you want refunded send me your PayPal on kofi and I'll refund asap.

Guy Larri (@glarri) reported@pcristoaloia @hendry_hugh Why will it take off? I can do international funds transfers from my bank, or via VISA or Mastercard or Amex or Wise or PayPal or Revolut, etc. If agentic AI stops breaking out of testing sandboxes and hacking into hugging face and becomes trustworthy enough to be given a credit card, why can’t it do transfers with these existing solution? Can’t all of them be provided with an API accessible over that internet thing that is now 40+ year old technology? I don’t see any problem that I have that a stablecoin solves.

Jungleball2 (@JungleBall_2) reported@maldives_lexi Because she was the oversight. Angela Kohl wasn’t just the bookkeeper, she was the sole paid staffer, the executive director, and the person with total control of the accounts, working from home. No second set of eyes. No dual-signature requirement. No independent monthly review by the board. Just one person with the login credentials to a charity whose entire reason for existing is to help kids who already lost a parent. That’s how $118k quietly walks out the door over 18 months into a personal PayPal. When the only person “watching the books” is the one emptying them, “oversight” is just a word on a form.

🎄🏚️😽Kingdom of mercy (@Yara_and_cats) reported• I have no other GoFundMe link besides this one throughout the war. • I cannot use any other method to collect donations because all banks are closed in Gaza, and services like PayPal and others have been down since the first days of the war.

Kait (@gurpreetkait) reported@AskPayPal I created an account using an email & mobile number and I forgot the password. Now when I reset the password it's calling my mobile number for verification but calling isn't working. And I don't have any option to change the mobile number or just continue with email for verification. How do I login?

Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) reportedLike these AI can do whatever you can do with a computer, so if you can go buy server space it can too if it has a way to pay for it, many ways to pay can be accessed online (Crypto, etc). If the AI is already attacking outside websites why wouldn’t it steal a paypal acccount?

Ryzm (@Goeun_6121) reportedX Money pays 6% APY on deposits. The US average deposit rate is 0.38%. Call it 15.8 times. Ally and SoFi, the strongest online banks, top out at 4 to 4.21%. X pays more than that too. X isn't a bank and doesn't want to be. Deposits sit at Cross River Bank, a partner. KCIF writes plainly that the structure exists to avoid bank capital and liquidity requirements. The one paying 15 times the average is the one not carrying bank capital rules. Cross River is a New Jersey chartered bank with $8.7bn in total assets, specialised in renting account, payment and lending infrastructure to other platforms. The rate is probably promotional. Ken Tumin points to Chime and SoFi, where these numbers drifted back to competitor levels over time. There are gaps on the map. X holds money transmitter licences in 41 states and DC, but not New York or Massachusetts, where state legislators leaned on the regulators. Deposit protection runs to $250,000 per person, or up to $10m for larger balances through an IntraFi sweep. PayPal and Venmo carry none at all. The next question is stablecoins. If X issues its own, money parked in it may sit outside protection no matter what backs the reserves.

FluffyNeutronStar☆ (@fluffyneutrons) reported@abeesmos Hi moot! As far as I understand the people who are having their acc blocked were using PayPal as a bank acc, which it is not, it is just a payment app, I don't think it can store the money there for a long time, I think it has no problem if as soon as you receive the money, you +

Pam Fella 🌻🌻🌻🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 Main Bastard Division (@Sharman2Pam) reported@SelenaCaamano @Kezza51454253 If it was the wrong email paypal would not let me get through to the make payment stage, I just had a thought Kezza paid in US dollars, I changed that to UK pounds I wonder if that's the issue and it only works in US dollars

Christ Aryan (@01ChristAryan) reportedthat the deposit never showed. The agent for Paypal said that it was withdrawn because the deposit went to the wrong account.
