  Just tried to help a friend get an Indian tourist visa and it was a proper nightmare. My friend is a Japanese national and has never had to apply for a visa for anywhere. The application form asks for all sorts of details, which was not too difficult to fill but in parts annoying. For example, it compulsorily asks for a person of contact in India and their address; how is a tourist who has never been to India supposed to have that? Luckily, I was able to provide a family member's details. But then it comes to the payment section (USD 25), the website only provides the following options: - SBI e-pay -PayPal -Axis Bank e-pay How on earth is someone supposed to know that choosing the e-pay options leads you to a page where you can pay by credit or debit card? Anyway, because I have helped people with this before, I advised her to choose the SBI e-pay option and she started entering her card details. Hit enter. Transaction failed. Strange, she said. It's a Visa and she's used it all over the world. Curiously, after a transaction fails, you still get a screen asking you to check transaction status but only AFTER 30 minutes. Going back simply brings you back to the same page. Kept getting an error. Tried two more times. Error. Tried another card. Another error. Exited and tried to get back to the payment screen from midway through the application and chose the Axis Bank gateway. Errors again on both cards. Another friend, from Hong Kong, volunteered to pay using her card. The first one received errors on both. Finally, on the eighth attempt, the friend's second card went through on the Axis Bank gateway. This entire process, that should have taken 15 minutes at most, ended up taking three hours. A foreigner with a genuine interest to visit the country, with tickets and accommodation booked already, needed multiple tries to book a simple e-visa, with four credit cards, all enabled for international use, that were declined regularly until one finally, randomly worked. If anyone in the Indian government is wondering why foreign tourism and Incredible India aren't exactly booming, they might want to consider this as a potential reason.

  Hi @AskPayPal @PayPal, my account has been restricted because I haven't logged in for over 3 years. I’m trying to link my Visa card, but I’m getting an error. I don’t want to change my registered email or mobile number. Please help me reactivate my account. I can provide my reference details via DM.

  @MomoDearestt @ShuraGacha @AKEndfield ok... so what's the problem again? paypal is most likely also one of the motives of people leaving, but also the overall factory system is a well known filter and devs knew it and will deal with it by having a niche audience. end game is missing, true, but-

  @High_Impact_67 It wasn’t a misdirected payment, it was an exchange rate correction. I originally sent someone in Norway $100. The PayPal exchange rate for the Norwegian Kroner was messed up that day. They charged my account $5,000 instead of $100. They corrected it 3 weeks later crediting my account and making me whole. Then two months later they corrected it again in error giving me $5,000 that wasn’t mine.

  @rakshit_yadav19 have you verified yourself via pan etc? open paypal in pc and see for the issues, beside that just open support and tell the bot that you want to talk to real person, the real person then will ask for some details or reason for the money, once done you will most likely get the money.

  @CoFoundersNik this highlights the issue with stripe. they don’t like hyper growth. my saas did $250k rev in first month after launch, stripe didn’t like it. 4 months in they disconnected us with a 0% chargeback rate (we forced 3ds! can’t chargeback when you literally have to sign into ur bank and 2fa). it was insane trying to find another processor to take us and integrate them. will never use stripe, they’re just a new paypal.

  PayPal is up nearly 50% in six months and still down 78% over five years. So the real question: is this the turnaround, or a bounce in a broken stock? Here's the actual setup: $PYPL sits in the middle of online payments. You check out, they move the money, they take a fee. PayPal and Venmo are both theirs. 🟢 What's driving it: - Buying from a shop you've never heard of? You don't type your card in, you hit the PayPal button — if it goes wrong, they chase it, not you. That trust is the product. - Shops can't remove that button. It turns browsers into buyers, so taking it off costs them sales. - Apple has your wallet but not the shop's checkout. Stripe has the shop but not your wallet. PayPal has both. - They're buying back 10.21% of the company a year — the fastest pace in their history. Fewer shares, bigger slice for investors. 🔴 Why it got this cheap: - On your phone, Apple Pay is already sitting there with your face. PayPal makes you log in. That one extra tap is the whole war. - They've always charged shops a premium for that button, and cheaper options now sit right next to it. - Revenue growth has slowed to low single digits and the profit engine has cooled. What do the pros think? Here it gets uncomfortable: 🔴Avg target: $57.26 — 7% below where it trades today 🚀High: $85.68 — +39% 🔴Low: $36.36 — −41% The verdict: you're not buying growth here, you're buying cash. At $61 you pay $11 for every $1 of profit — Visa and Mastercard cost three times that. The model says $75.36, Wall Street says $57.26, and that gap is the whole trade. The risk is the fee. If Apple and Google keep owning the checkout button, the cash machine slips with it. That's why the Low target sits at $36.36. Bargain or value trap?

  @HeadspaceHelp Hi! I read that you’re having problems with Paypal in the EU at the moment, but I don’t have Visa, Mastercard or any of the other payment options. Are you planning to add iDeal/Wero or will I have to wait until the Paypal issue is resolved to be able to renew?

  🚨 DO NOT TRANSACT 🚨 X acct – @Daisukivote7 Telegram acct – Daisukivote7 / myssvt We are sorry to deliver this news to you, ENGENEs. Unfortunately, we can no longer reach this seller, as they have been unresponsive for several days and even deactivated their account. We transacted with this seller for Music Core pre-votes. We usually transact through a DROP FIRST, PAY LATER arrangement; however, some sellers require a down payment or full payment upfront. In this case, we reserved 30,000 heartbeats for $22.22 USD, which was paid via PayPal. We waited several days before making this announcement, giving the seller the benefit of the doubt in case something unexpected happened, such as a loss of internet connection, an emergency, or a natural disaster in their country. However, one of our members reached out to the seller using their fan account, and the seller responded immediately, offering votes. When our member mentioned that they should also respond to ENCODEGLOBAL, the seller stopped replying to our member as well. Given these circumstances, we are advising everyone NOT to transact with @Daisukivote7.

  @PayPal @AskPayPal #paypal You waited until I started making more than like, twenty dollars at a time, until I received my FIRST larger commission amount, to randomly ban my account. That is incredibly predatory. 😒 I have given you every single piece of information that you’ve asked me for. I’ve given you proof of commission requests/work, my LLC/business license, my ID, my bank statements, everything, and you’ve been flagrantly ignoring me since then. I’ve reached out for an appeal and had to learn from a chat room representative that you’ve denied it. You’ve took money that I need for groceries and bills and placed it on a SIX MONTH hold over your assumption that, because I sell digital products, I’m scamming someone??? Fix the AI that bans the accounts and make this place better for independent artists please. I draw for people! I make money from that! It may not be a lot to you, but this money gives me a week of groceries to feed my entire family. At least give me the funds I deserve, for the work I’ve done.

  ③ What is easy to overlook The biggest upgrade you can make is give Codex Security an actual security policy instead of the vague “find the bugs.” Drop a SECURITY.md that spells out: • system boundary • threat model • attacker-controlled inputs • trust boundaries • security invariants • what counts as a reportable finding • accepted risks • compensating controls Way more powerful than “scan everything.” For a music producer building anything that handles money, downloads, or user accounts, tell it explicitly to protect: • auth and authorization boundaries • admin / producer dashboards • customer session and payment data • API keys and environment secrets • webhooks from Stripe / PayPal / BeatStars • file uploads and external sample URLs • payment trust boundaries • redirects • XSS / HTML injection on product pages • CSRF • SSRF • injection points • rate limiting / abuse controls • dependency and supply-chain risk • server-side vs client-side secrets • private catalog and unreleased stems • deployment config That threat model stays alive and gets sharper every time you refine it. One more thing people miss: scanning is not the same as architecture. If Codex builds a perfectly coded but insecure authorization model for your download system, the scanner is already fighting uphill. The invariants have to exist before the code. Examples that actually matter: INVARIANT A browser must never receive a privileged Stripe or admin credential. INVARIANT Every privileged mutation (price change, download unlock, refund) must authorize server-side. INVARIANT User-controlled URLs may never hit an unrestricted internal fetcher. INVARIANT Secrets only come from approved secret stores or environment variables. INVARIANT No generated page may render unsanitized user-controlled HTML. INVARIANT Production deploys require security tests to pass. Now both Codex and Codex Security have something concrete to enforce
