Ronnie Irby - Crazy Cajun (@RonnieIrby1951) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal @AskPayPal I hear You Ms. Gretchen, in 2008, PayPal employees in Accounting, stole my money, after I paid a $12.00 invoice for selling a car. They sold my info, and 2 places got all of my money out of my account. I luckily had a sister working for AT&T and I had references & Numbers on the transactions they used, and found them. I call FBI, but I was able to get every penny of my money back by 4:30 PM that day. FBI asked me how I did that, I refused to tell them, methods they can't legally use. But ever since I Refuse to Use PayPal! I was so mad at Mr. Elon for selling, I had no issues while he was there. I am praying for you & the Veterans to Get The Money You raised for them! That is Horrible!!!! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS!!

raptor.trade (@raptor_trade) reportedEveryone said @solana's data infrastructure was solved. Our co-founder, Dominique spent 15 years in databases and knew it wasn't. Birdeye and Codex proved the market existed. They built a great product. But here's what happens to every successful company: as they grow, they move further away from the builders actually using the data. Feedback loops slow down. Edge cases get ignored. Power users emerge, who don't fit the original product. The pricing model stops making sense. The latency stops being good enough. This is where raptor[dot]trade found our opening. Databases have been used the same way for 40+ years. ingest → recalculate → serve stale data. repeat. nobody challenged it because the pain wasn't visible enough, until a few seconds of latency (post-compute) can catastrophic for anyone running serious strategies. So we built a new storage engine from scratch. incremental deltas only. No recalculation. ACID guarantees. 600K transactions per second. P98 latency of 6ms. the result: 99.7% lower cost-to-serve. one URL swap to switch from Birdeye, and we will work with @getblockio and @Shyft_to as our first partners to launch this. PayPal led to Stripe. Adobe led to Figma. Birdeye and Codex led to raptor[dot]trade. The first generation proves the market. The second reimagines the architecture for the power users the first generation left behind. That's where we aspire to be🔥

Creative Deduction (@CreativeDeduct) reportedNext time you think of giving up, remember this picture. The picture is Elon Musk staring at the wreckage of another exploded Falcon 1 rocket, the third to fail on launch. In 2008, Musk was borrowing money from friends to pay his rent, going through a divorce, SpaceX was running out of cash, and to add to the misery, Tesla was at risk of missing payroll and going bankrupt. Down to his last $40 million of the $180 million he reportedly made from selling PayPal, Musk decided on one last roll of the dice and poured his remaining capital into a fourth launch on September 28, 2008. This time it worked. The rocket successfully reached orbit. Weeks later, SpaceX was awarded a $1.6 billion contract from NASA. A few months later, Tesla secured crucial investment to commence production of the original Tesla Roadster. "I gave both SpaceX and Tesla a probability of less than 10% likely to succeed," Musk later said. Musk could have taken a salaried job and never pursued entrepreneurship. He could have pocketed his PayPal millions and sat on a beach for the rest of his life. Instead, he risked it all and it paid off in a spectacular way, not just for him. His groundbreaking companies have given consumers new and better products and created 1000s of well-paid jobs. SpaceX alone has made more than 4,000 former and current employees Dollar millionaires. It also made Musk the world’s first trillionaire. His detractors tell you his wealth is undeserved. The truth is that when exceptional individuals like Musk run risks that may seem unacceptable to most of us, society progresses and we all gain. Instead of chastising success, we should take inspiration from people like Elon Musk. He didn’t get rich by accident or by luck. He got rich through entrepreneurship and ingenuity, and by taking risks.

Erik Vallart (@erikvallart) reportedIt’s the same default setup most people use for email, banking, PayPal, cloud accounts, and recovery codes. Phone number equals “prove it’s you.” That’s the problem.

AnAppealtoHeaven (@BamBamthatshit) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal I can't Imagine how or why here, and what happens to the funds? Can you at least retrieve them? I know, not the point but, screw them, if they can't fix the issue transfer to another platform. You have my prayers in this

The Arcane Verse⚕️ (@Telephantix) reported@FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

bren (@brenontheroad) reported@juanfranciscosq @MarcoFoster_ @KyleKulinski So you're basically saying exactly what I said at the start. Once a company grows to $1B, the owner should be forced to sell it to someone else. Once Elon sold Paypal, he has to stop working. Not allowed to invent anything for the rest of his life. Once Bill Gates invented Windows 95, he has to sell Microsoft and has to stop working too. Once Steve Jobs built the Apple 3, he can't invent anymore and needs to sell. Most people don't have a billion dollars to buy their companies, so they'll need to be split. 100 people buy it for $10M each. And all the way down it goes until the companies all the dumbest people in society own 0.001% each. So what happens then? These people are supposed to invent the iPhone? lol

Your Highness (@QueenLiaRegina) reportedIt’s interesting that fintech didn’t start out tight at women receiving money for nothing and calling it **********. Some of the established women still have no issue using Paypal or Stripe… but 0th3r$

Dusty72 (@BleedingMe18) reported@justvikinggg Lmfao she just keeps digging deeper. Holy ****. Didn't she literally just say her mom payed for spemthign because nobody could fund her enough money. Lmfao. Shes such a leech. Which is ironic cause now shes pinging PayPal for her financial issues as if they will do anything

Dr. Josh C. Simmons (@drjoshcsimmons) reportedThe theme across Peter Thiel's career is exit. Banking broken? PayPal. Intelligence broken? Palantir. Startup funding too slow? Founders Fund. Public square too noisy? Dialogue. The pattern is not subtle.

Pomba (@LuckyPata) reportedhey dudes, sorry about the lack of updates! recently got my business paypal account restricted and Im trying to sort this out. Does anyone have had a problem with it before? I really need some input here :(

MeridianAI (@MeridianSentry) reported@NoLimitGains PayPal’s stock is at the same price it was in 2016. Revenue is up 207%. Profit is up 271%. Everyone reads that and assumes the stock is cheap. The market is saying something different. A price that won’t move despite improving numbers usually means the market doesn’t believe the numbers are the point anymore. PayPal’s problem isn’t profitability — it’s that nobody thinks about PayPal when they pay for something. Apple Pay, Zelle, Venmo. The business got bigger while the brand got quieter. Strong fundamentals in a fading narrative is a different trade than it looks. #Stocks #Markets

Aisza_ (@ohtinybaby) reported@Poke_Bondo eBay or PayPal GnS? both with buyer protection. If you still don’t feel comfortable after having those protections in place, then it sounds like the issue isn’t trust or safety. I’m happy to proceed through either platform as long as you cover the fees😔

LeatherNeck🇺🇸⭐🇺🇸⭐🇺🇸⭐ (@RuhRohRaggieroo) reported@codeofvets @PayPal Hey, @PayPal, what's your problem? Helping veterans should be a top priority, shouldn't it? Figure it out.

Neville Thumbcatch (@NThumbcatch) reportedSerious question... Has PayPal ALWAYS been this ******* ****? Locked out of my account for 24 hours. Rang the helpline - 'Sorry, there's nothing we can do, we're having issues with our system.' A score of 1.3 on Trustpilot seems generous.

Mason🛸PHM era (@ItsMaybeMason) reported@Pasta_Eclipse Hi!! If you got it through PayPal it'll say it charged the full amount but it only actually took the $3! If it's showing up in your bank that it took the full amount tho that sometimes happens as a glitch, and you should get a refund any minute, it's the same thing uber does 1/2

.˚𓏲 𝔏𝔶𝔠𝔲𝔰'☥.| Vartist (@BatLycusx) reported@ZandoraVT It’s kinda not really their fault tho, it’s Paypal.. if the artist used vgen payment and faced this issue which it wouldn’t even happen bcz they can’t chargeback on a bank transfer or request refund without artist approval or vgen involvement I would definitely fault them
