🐰~𝓚iuchiii~ᕱ-ᕱ₊🌷@kiuna#Vgen (@kiulivetv) reportedI want to confirm that PayPal itself states that you don't need a trading license to accept money. How can I avoid any issues? Should I connect my personal PayPal account to VGen and link my personal bank account via VGen payments (Stripe) is it safe or any recommendations?

Jort van Meeteren (@jortvanmeeteren) reported@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?

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

Allan Robinson (@_ARob) reportedThe double-spend example for money: If I email you a photo, I still have a copy. That’s fine for photos, terrible for money. If I send you $10 digitally and still hold a copy of that $10, I can spend it again with someone else. Traditional fix: A bank sits in the middle. It keeps the master ledger, deducts $10 from me, adds $10 to you. You trust the bank, not me. Bitcoin’s fix: Every transaction is broadcast to thousands of computers, verified, and written into a shared public ledger that everyone holds a copy of. Rewriting it would cost more in electricity than you’d gain, so lying isn’t worth it. Real-world example: Alice sends Bob 1 BTC. The transaction goes out to the whole network, gets confirmed into the blockchain, and now every participant agrees Bob owns it and Alice doesn’t. Alice can’t send that same coin to Carol — the ledger already says otherwise. No bank, no PayPal, no Cash App, no Venmo, one to ask permission from. Bitcoin is money.

Jeffcoly | ZarGates (@Jeffcoly) reported@Forbes Slow and steady still works. Levchin took the hard DIY route from PayPal fraud wars to Affirm’s $25B valuation and actual GAAP profits. Rare to see a fintech that didn’t just burn cash forever chasing growth.

Infaris || Cyber Demon VTuber (@InfarisVelsina) reported@MaximiliankotWA This is why I’m probably double or tripling down on Patreon once I confirm it works for payment processing and such. I was using it with PayPal but now doing it direct to bank. I also am doing the math on what I need to full time and to help expand.

Dave Cobra (@Dave_Cobra_) reported@anamazingpita @Venmo @PayPal Thank god it's not just me. I reported it and they tried to gaslight me that it was on my end. Then opened another chat and was told it was their issue.

Carlos LM (@analogfilmphoto) reported@AskPayPal Don’t know what else to do, I bought an item with PayPal goods and services, once I bought it the seller said it didn’t include what it was described originally, I ask to cancel and he issue a partial refund. I open a claim and it was denied! Can you help please?

Akshat Gupta (@akshat_do) reportedNearly 400 orders in my first month of ecom. Then @AskPayPal permanently deactivated the account and froze the money for 180 days. Every document they asked for was submitted. The docs were extremely compliant (more than 99% of the PayPal stores out there for sure). Is growing quickly the problem? Ref PP-L-859777751864 @AskPayPal @PayPal can you help be fair and look into this?

Rose 🌹| (@opereitta_) reportedI have gone to the effort of stating I am willing to take payment through Paypal or Zelle if paying in cash is the problem, nothing. It's not like I have high priced items, most being half of ebay, all under $30 for the most part. Cleaning my bedroom out is just hard.

WonderOfU (@Asgorathyo) reported@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-

Jason Skadsen (@OptimisticJ33) reported@Kalshi This is an early-stage report, not a product launch. CoinDesk says 𝕏 is in talks about paying creators in stablecoins (Circle’s USDC is the example named). The source is one person familiar with the discussions who also works with other platforms testing the same idea. 𝕏 has not confirmed anything. Treat it as a live option under review, not a done deal. What is actually changing? Great question… Two separate things are being mixed together: 1. Confirmed: 𝕏 is killing Revenue Sharing. New enrollments already stopped. The old program ends September 7; the last payouts land around September 11. It is replaced by Original Content Rewards, which is supposed to pay for original ideas, reporting, expertise, and commentary instead of ad-impression farming. 2. Unconfirmed: How those new rewards get sent. Today payouts go through Stripe or 𝕏 Money. Stablecoins would be another rail, not the new rewards program itself. Nothing in 𝕏’s official creator announcement mentions crypto. Why would they even consider it? Again, great question… Creator payouts are a messy, global, small-dollar problem. Bank wires, local rails, FX spreads, and minimums eat a lot of what mid-tier creators actually receive especially outside the US. Stablecoins (market cap now over $300 billion) settle in minutes, in dollars, without a correspondent bank in every country. That is the same reason $SPCX already uses them for some Starlink payments in “long-tail” markets. 𝕏 hiring Benji Taylor (ex-Coinbase Base, wallets/DeFi) in March fits the same direction. 𝕏 Money is already rolling to a slice of Premium+ users. YouTube already lets some US creators take PayPal’s PYUSD. Meta has started paying selected creators in USDC on Solana and Polygon. 𝕏 would not be first; it would be the largest social app to try it at scale.

niki (@Niki_bugg) reported@ichi_dokusha i hope mine was right i triple checked to make sure but im a little slow when it comes to paypal😩

Infaris || Cyber Demon VTuber (@InfarisVelsina) reported@MaximiliankotWA Yeah my biggest issue is finances and/or time there. I def need to bring on an editor and get some stuff built up on that end but as it stands with the PayPal stuff halting my freelance work I’ll need to find new income for myself to help cover a large cost of living increase

Nobody (@Nobuddy05) reported@art_jake @DotoDoya Put money onto your paypal account if you have one and use it for the transaction. Its weird but any issues with buying **** just immediately go away, seriously its helped me like 4 times now.

Wil Marren (@king_o_whales) reportedMy PayPal got permanently deactivated :/... can I make a new one without getting in trouble? The weird thing is That i wasnt using it either and only found out about it because I did need to use it...

Chantelle (@_CLE7) reported@HelpAtGeorge Why does it not let me check out online? Tried multiple cards so I know its not the card. Tried paying by card, PayPal and Google pay and all say there's an issue. Same yesterday
-
Chris Shipley (@shipleycgm) reportedThis is an awful experience, and why the convenience of payment processors like PayPal are not in your favor if you experience trouble like this. American Express credit card? Easy chargeback. Also be wary of debit cards, they don't operate the same way as credit cards.
-
Sameh Nassar (@siynrr) reported@jonathan_wilke Do you have any issue w PayPal gateway or your bank account?
-
Micktheskinz (@Mickskinz) reported@wood_bespoke 🤦 If I could login I wouldn't be asking. If I could cancel my card it wouldn't be a problem. But the details on the PayPal account are completely unknown and use an old phone number so I can't login and they won't talk to me on the phone because I can't answer the questions, the direct debit is not a card payment it's a bank payment straight from my account. I will find the time and do an hour on the phone to the bank but that's the thing I wanted to avoid. It's the only way to sort it.

So Eungi (@so_eungi) reportedWhat ******** is going on with the Berlin concert ticket sale??? It won’t let me pay with any card, it just keeps throwing errors. And when I try PayPal, it takes my money and then gives me an error. WTF 😭
