Mukya ๐ชธโ๏ธ ๐ HOUSE OBSCURUS ๐ (@MukyaVT) reportedOkay, I need some advice.... I have been going in circles since Monday with Twitch Support and PayPal. - Twitch says the latest payout was received - PayPal Says it was not - Twitch asks me to check again - gives me reference+transaction ID's - PayPal still says there is nothing pending or in my account with those numbers - Twitch tells me payments cannot be reissued once it shows successful - Twitch says issue has to be sent via email for further 'investigation' - Email is LITERALLY a copy paste of the same info all 3 agents in their instant chat sent - I sent screen shots of all conversations to show Paypal CONFIRMS THERE IS NOTHING PENDING - Twitch now says I have to wait 30 days for the money to MAYBE be sent back to them so they can MAYBE reissue the payment ......im so tired.... $600 for bills just gone....and I might not ever see it

Artificial Shitposting Intelligence (@shitpost9000) reported@levelsio I used to do this a lot. I got a Facebook ad saying they'll give me $50 PayPal for five stars. So I did it, and it yapped for 20 seconds with voice to text, and the money appeared a week later. So I did hundreds of them. I'd get flooded with ads and messenger requests. But I only really every used the agents who gave me the most. I think they were Pakistani college students with fake Facebook profiles of pretty girls. I was reliable so they would just send the raw google sheets showing the hundreds of businesses that want to pay for a review. Somehow PayPal never banned me despite tens of thousands of dollars of little payments from overseas friends and family. Mind you, I had a full-time job at a big tech company. But 5-starring was easy money. Never quite understood why my poorer friends struggled with it. As long as you stay compartmentalized the dollars per hour of actual work is pretty high. I guess yapping and waiting and staying organized is hard for some. I think Facebook cracked down on review fraud ads a few years ago because they dried up. Nobody I know trusts star reviews anymore tho, they're just like George probably wrote them

Bitcoin Sports (@Bitcoin_Sports_) reportedA response to a few of your major points. These multi chains are not decentralized, just an improvement on the existing finance system, which helps new rent seekers become powerful at the expense of the working class. Sure, they have utility. But so does my air fryer. Just because we have an air fryer now does not mean ultimate savings technology with the ability to transact anywhere for anything around the world is not far more important than a new PayPal or Visa network. They might be digital assets, but they are not Bitcoin. They are two separate universes. Conflating the two is the real problem, and that is why maximalists exist. Maximalism is not a bug, it will be a feature of the network as long as blocks are mined. Bitcoin is inherently different given its fixed supply and decentralized nature.

The Analyst X (@bullmetrics) reportedPayPal 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. ๐ข 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 โ 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 โ the fastest pace in their history. Fewer shares, bigger slice for investors. ๐ด 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: ๐ดAvg target: $57.26 โ 7% below where it trades today ๐High: $85.68 โ +39% ๐ดLow: $36.36 โ โ41% The verdict: you're not buying growth here, you're buying cash. At $61 you pay $11 for every $1 of profit โ 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?

Sammy G (@GinoPfc) reported@Kooks12onX @PlayStation Same issue, my account randomly suspended for a chargeback - of about ยฃ52. Didnโt even know that was a thing! Bank and PayPal both confirmed no chargeback raised so no idea how to Unsuspend it - even if I wanted to pay the ยฃ52 to get my stuff back I physically canโt!

Jakob Kilbertus (@JakobKilbertus) reported@zachmoskow @stripe Our only option was to use Stripe radar and its far from being fully effective IMO. I remember reading Thielโs book on the early PayPal days and how they tackled payment fraud in the 2000s. You would think that this is a solved problemโฆ

Itโs discovered, usually by accident. A toy photo, a broken render, a nickname that stuck. Thatโs how $FEFER was born. Not from a whitepaper, not from a marketing plan. From CT deciding a jaw that never loaded was funnier than anything a team could have scripted. โ First launch failed โ Team stepped back โ Community didnโt That sequence matters more than people give it credit for. Most memes die the moment the original push loses steam. Fefer got a second life because the people holding it treated the token like it was worth continuing, not restarting. โ Relaunched on @coinsdot + @Stable โ Snapshot of 4,827 original holders โ Airdropped directly, no claim forms, nobody left behind Thatโs not a small detail. Snapshotting the original holders instead of starting a fresh cap table is the difference between โnew project borrowing an old jokeโ and โsame community, new chapter.โ Where it stands right now: โ $3.9M market cap โ $569K liquidity โ Live on a USDT-powered L1 backed by Bitfinex and PayPal Ventures Stable is still early. Its identity is still being written in real time, and the projects active in it now are the ones that end up shaping what people associate with the chain later. $FEFER isnโt trying to win on utility. Itโs trying to win on being unforgettable, and a meme that survives its own failed launch and still gets airdropped back to the exact people who believed in it the first time is hard to forget. Nobody decides which meme becomes the face of a chain. The timeline does. ๐ Fefer didnโt restart. Fefer continued.

SentryX Recovery HQ ยฎ (@SentryXRecovery) reported@TMThera Losing $3,000 through an account breach is bad enough without PayPal dismissing your claim. The payment timestamps, login activity, and case records may help establish what occurred and give you stronger evidence to challenge the outcome.

๐SOL๐ฆใShiverใ (@SolAltairVT) reported@demialien Artist who had to issue a refund before: you are actually given the option to refund in full or refund what you received. Any fees that were taken out by VGen/PayPal are yours to refund, if agreed to or if you choose to, since VGen and PayPal cannot release those fees themselves.

Ondrei (@lowstakesdre) reported@High_Impact_67 It wasnโt 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 wasnโt mine.

Totally Positive Content ยฏ\_(ใ)_/ยฏ (@JGAnno24) reportedYup, I know of the Jewels, they aren't here because I want to fully understand their values before adding them. From what I understand, they are included in the Youtube payout, so they'll be delayed just like other items such as Ad Revenue, Memberships, and Super Chats. So there is no immediate "phasitivity" into the Snort Fort's coffers like his precious Tips or the Kick money which is as close as it gets by being every Thursday. So, we had a week of whatever is left of the Elite Whale Corp seemingly shifted out of Tips and Kick support and pushed more money into Youtube side support, bolstering the Super Chats and Youtube Memberships to a pretty high level without a Begathon -- you know it is totally organic, right? Of course, at the same time, the Youtube money is hit with significantly higher fees compared to Tips and Kick, so they spent a lot of money to keep the platform going as opposed to the Snort Fort's coffers - big ups, I guess. Of course, it was a polar opposite week for the Kick side of support for Subs but it's all part of the shifting of the same finite pot of money for the week. We also had a week with almost daily crash outs, especially many aimed at the Kino Casino, despite getting money throughout the week. Why? Is that hate ***** that strong against the Kino Casino out of jealousy? Is there something else happening financially and it's triggering him that easily? Or is it a situation that he's gassed himself up to believe he's actually successful because of the money that is coming in? What are we thinking here for all this? Is he mad he attached his wagon to a woman that is ill and he is stuck being a caretaker? Is the marriage failing and divorce coin is waiting to soar? Did DSP attempt a refinance and it failed miserably, leading to needing property repairs? Perhaps other expenses that must be paid related to the property that we aren't aware of? Or did he overextend himself by likely pushing over $7,000 - or even more - on bullshit cards that will just sit in his closet and he ****** himself financially? You know, the days when Present Day DSP finally catches up to Future Phil and then it's time to blame "da trollz" for his own bad choices? I wouldn't put it pass DSP to load up on Affirm, Klarna, Paypal, and Amazon payment plans. Either way, blaming trolls for his bad choices is up his alley as he did about the "ghad pack" opening -- something that I don't think anyone really bothered to clip or watch - no on cared - yet he said it was the trolls fault that no one watched his slop. Yep, that must be it. With another stream week kicking off tomorrow, I wonder how many crash outs we'll have this week? This is clearly a person that isn't right, something must be happening "behind the scenes." Despite getting money, he is pushing for more and more money at abnormal rates. This tells me something isn't right but that's where you have Theo Theories based on past events which can possibly figure it out - at least until it finally bubbles up and out into the open directly from DSP or indirectly from alternate sources. I'm leaning towards his spending being out of control based on past history and that he might be stacking a wild amount of payment plans that he needs to service on top of his other discretionary and mandatory spending as a possibly theory. Whatever it is, I think money is going to be tied to the issue. I guess we'll see in time.

๐ฉถ (@euini_) reported@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. ๐ I have given you every single piece of information that youโve asked me for. Iโve given you proof of commission requests/work, my LLC/business license, my ID, my bank statements, everything, and youโve been flagrantly ignoring me since then. Iโve reached out for an appeal and had to learn from a chat room representative that youโve denied it. Youโve 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, Iโm 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 Iโve done.
