MozzuMuscle (@MozzuMuscle) reportedGenerally speaking it's a good habit to always withdraw funds from online money platforms when they come in (I.e. Paypal, patreon, throne, streaming services, etc.) as you never know when an account may be frozen or taken down for any reason.

♱⃓˚₊‧꒰ა cierra 👁️🪶|| healing arc ໒꒱ ‧₊˚♱⃓ (@CierraTenshi) reportedI may just be slow and maybe missing or misunderstanding things..but genuinely, what does one even do in this situation? I felt genuinely relieved and happy after receiving this email from @PayPal saying some features of my account had been restored and that I only needed to provide additional information. I logged in immediately following the instructions, but I found nowhere to submit anything. I then messaged customer support only for them to say that I just ignore that email because they decided to keep the limitation. I was cooperative and provided all the info they needed as soon as I could, so receiving that email gave me hope that there was may some progress. I just don’t understand why that email was sent at all if they were just planning to keep my account banned. It feels incredibly misleading and honestly unfair and hurtful.

Pipio🪶🎱 【IRIAM Pre-Debut】 (@PipioHato) reported@pwupcakie My biggest issue if streamelements goes down is that almost everything else uses PayPal for payouts of tips and I can't use PayPal so I dont know what alternative to use 🙃

Funnelish (@funnelish) reportedShopify checkouts leak at the payment step. 1,800 sessions with 36 ATC and 0 sales → That’s payment friction. Buyers show intent—then vanish at checkout. The culprit: limited payment choice (PayPal only). 0 purchases after 36 checkouts = users were forced down a single trust path. 50% of leads abandon checkout if their payment method isn't listed. Minimize drop-offs by removing Shopify hurdles. - Match payment options with the audience type. On Funnelish you can build checkout paths around how each market actually pays.

MeeseeksInDeFi (@Meeseeks_inDeFi) reported@Morpho @SentoraHQ @merkl_xyz 8/ Let's break down what's actually happening here. PayPal wants to expand PYUSD's footprint in DeFi. So they set aside a budget and distribute PYUSD to anyone who deposits into this vault. Sentora gets higher TVL. Users get extra yield. PayPal gets PYUSD circulation and visibility. Everyone wins until the campaign ends.

Norm (@postanoun) reported@unusual_whales People forget that Elon Musk was involved with Paypal, which acts like a bank, and everything Elon Musk is doing right now appears to be the exact same business model the banks are doing. If you don't like it, that is your problem, stop using money. If you can't do that, lol

Termites (@TermitesRGood) reported@N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you

Ben Valentin (@TheBenValentin) reportedAnthropic just went after 30 million small businesses. Claude for Small Business dropped this week. 15 pre-built workflows. Connectors to QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Docusign, Google Workspace. Invoice chasing, payroll planning, lead triage, contract review, cash-flow monitoring. All baked in. No extra charge beyond the Claude license. Here's what most people will miss about this: The biggest AI lab on the planet just told small business owners they're worth building for. Not enterprise. Not Fortune 500. The 10-person company that's been duct-taping tools together for years. That's a market signal. When Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all start shipping SMB-first products in the same quarter, it means the enterprise-only era of AI is over. But pre-built workflows are the floor, not the ceiling. They solve the generic problems every business has. The real unlock is when a business deploys an agent trained on their specific operations, their specific data, their specific customer patterns. That's where the ROI compounds. Generic workflows get you started. Custom agents get you ahead. 10-city live tour starting yesterday. Free half-day workshops for small business owners. Anthropic is doing field sales now. Let that sink in. What's the first workflow you'd hand off to an agent tomorrow morning?

The Bitcoin Diaries Fashion (@btcdiaries21) reported@HumbleWarrior @JenBartonDesign I've been advised that it's best not to draw attention to their websites. It just gives them publicity, and they're not Bitcoiners like last time. They have no social media either. Found this with AI. I've reported them to PayPal. You never know. They might just do something about it. Hope you get your work taken down from scam sites, too.

BigErn (@BiggiePerms) reported@realroseceline Worth nothing pretty much all fintech and payment companies are down near lows. Look at Adyen, Nu, Meli, Paypal, Fiserv, and so on. Nu straight up said Q1 is seasonally Brazil's weakest quarter. I think it's a good opportunity to initiate or avg down in some of these names.

JWJI III (@JWJI_III) reported@Prominent_Bryan As a Canadian living in America, I much prefer etransfer. I’ve never had a problem with it. I have had problems where business can’t get done because one person only does Venmo and the other only does PayPal. Anecdotal however
-
me me (@me_sheer_) reportedImmediately they blocked my PayPal account I've had for years without an problems, to prevent me from making any money. You can make up their rabid fixation, these agency criminals have with me, their obsession with harming me repeatedly & ongoing other harms.

Charlotte Muse (@charlottemusexo) reported@PossessedLettu1 Yeah, you are right i have faced that problem so many times but we still have to use the paypal cause then they think we are some kind of scammers haha

Serenity Solo Studios (@SerenitySoloDev) reported@TiggerStan01 I get the verification message now and again. I have no problem with those. I also have no problem making big purchases on Amazon or in a doing monthly shops. It's always PayPal it happens for. Not even every purchase I paid using them. It seems to happen at random. It's not as bad as what you've been through, though. At least I made the purchases. The money wasn't stolen. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I can only imagine the amount of stress that causes. The closest I got to it was when someone got my partners bank card details and started spending the money, leaving them broke within a week of my partner being paid. Of course, I got the blame for not pulling my weight financially for months. That was a stressful time.
