  @gy_sup @kianamosser Yeah I think so too, personally I haven’t had any issue using a PayPal business account as an individual for earning like $100 here and there. But it seems like a lot of the people getting their accounts shut down are making a lot more and it gets flagged as “suspicious” 😔

  @Icerzzxx @PredAlerter Lol. It's not about them getting in trouble and off the streets.. It's about these guys luring people to a meet where they outnumber them and they can smack em around and seem like heros to the low IQ. While they're back home checking their PayPal account and counting all the donations. The Peds they 'caught' are back home creeping on kids lol. Wtf did they do other than entertain you and take your money?

  Now that I posted that edited screenshot, business owners with permits, artists who use PayPal, and people with over 20k in their PayPal balances have started sharing that they've experienced the same thing. This was never just a "tax fraud" issue, it’s a PayPal issue.

  My number 1 advice to anyone doing service (commissions counts as service) or selling things (aka running business), first thing you should absolutely do is check your local laws and regulation regarding earning money yourself (aka running business, but not only that, patrion and gifts too, and selling things you own), every country has those (taxes is how counties is keep things running), because if you not following them, paypal closing your account is least thing that can go bad for you, actual banks are even under more stricter rules then that and public institutions find about about they be knocking to your doors. PayPal is not doing it to upset you, they do that because they would be in big trouble if they didn't do it. I heared a lot of stories like that even when i was in school, people getting to trouble because they started selling things, because lot of them are not aware of those because if you have normal work, lot of those obligations and dealing with this stuff usually falls down to your employer (atleast that they case in Poland). And yes it sucks, in most cases is reason why business owners and corporationare more angry about taxes and law changes, then most people are because they the one who usually need to deal with it for you when they employ you and you don't never see money was taken from you... welcome to this side of world, now you know why they are so on edge. Business is always a risk and it comes with extra obligations and costs, if you plan to do it you need to make sure you on stable ground and plan things ahead, make sure what you doing let you effort it before going all out. Even if laws don't make you pay taxes, in most cases you likely required to at least raport income anyway, even you not running business. This also means check licences and ToS of services you using to run business and anything commercial, because if you do business there usually different rules on those for you then of using those products and services. Also in case of PayPal, if you being payed for service make sure your client pick payment service not family and friends, or send them paypal invoice which is safest option as it does that automaticly. PayPal requires you to pay them fee for using there services for commercial use, they will ban you if they find out you avoid that.

  $PYPL just reminded everyone why chasing headlines is expensive. PayPal reported a double beat: • EPS: $1.38 vs $1.28 expected ✅ • Revenue: $8.68B vs $8.47B expected ✅ • Payment Volume: $486.5B vs $468.5B expected ✅ • Raised full year adjusted EPS guidance to $5.38 vs $5.31 expected ✅ It’s funny how so many people abandoned $PYPL when sentiment was terrible, and now many of those same investors are rushing back after a strong quarter. The market has a way of rewarding patience and punishing emotion. The best opportunities usually don’t feel comfortable when you’re buying them

  Every headline this morning: "PayPal raises full-year guidance." Here's what's underneath it. Payment volume +10%
Net revenue +5%
Transaction margin dollars +1%
Non-GAAP EPS −1%
GAAP EPS −3% Now the part nobody runs. Diluted shares went 977M → 882M — down 9.7%. Apply that to a 1% EPS decline and the actual profit pool fell about 11%. PayPal raised guidance to ~$5.38. EPS is a fraction. They spent $6.0B in twelve months retiring 111 million shares — shrinking the denominator. GAAP guidance still says down. To be fair, two things genuinely improved: transactions per account rose 3% to 60.0 after falling last quarter, and free cash flow doubled to $1.8B. Branded checkout, in their words, "has further stabilized." But volume grew ten times faster than the gross profit it produced. That's the business. $PYPL $V $MA

  @fsonic3 In addition to legal issues, PayPal doesn't assist its users, yet supposedly demands compliance. The blocking is actually due to "traffic," or rather, bank transactions that the AI ​​flags as false positives for fraud, leading to account blocks

  @t_anairo People tell you to stop using paypal because you clearly don't understand how to use it properly. if you really need it then at the very least move the money over to your bank as soon as you get it. Your problem is that you use it to store your money, not to transfer it

  StreamerTV 📺 (@Str3amerTV) reported 58 minutes ago

  @NamesakeGeodite The problem that many miss here, is because you are taking payments from a random source that paypal don't recognise. a easy flag for the system & if you get continuous payments, enough to pay tax then you should have an accountant that will register you as self employed or limited company. I can guarantee if you set this up & show paypal legitimate background business, this can get easily removed as a accountant can also back you up. A lot of people do this just to avoid tax with a lil side hustle. Register as self employed & thank me later.

  Wait if you operate under your legal name you don’t legally have to register anything. Is PayPal still shutting people down for operating legally like that? I’m in Canada and you only need a license or permit if you have a business name to register.

  @noisy_engineer @inkfycreates Yes, part of the reason that PayPal has had success is they managed to navigate around all the regulatory issues that make sending money a giant nightmare. There is a reason why many of their competitors usually feel more restrictive in one way or another.
