kentuckyfriedplus 🇺🇸🦅 (@kentuckyfriedp5) reported@AndreaTaz4ever2 I’m sure the community here on twitter would be more than willing to chip in for your cat’s care if you setup paypal or a gofundme. Sorry to hear that your cat is having alot of health problems. I guess it is the way it is as they become older.

Jennifer, English-German Translator (@InfoRosebrock) reportedI run everything through PayPal because I don’t have a bank account, and now PayPal is refusing to let me issue invoices or receive money because I don’t have a bank account. It’s ridiculous... They could've told me 3 months ago that this only works for a while!!!!

Max (@neobluemax) reported@destrodesigns I have long given up card orders and swapped to PayPal only on the site. Been broken for me since they "updated" the website.

West Lord (@MyWestLord) reportedElon Musk got 5 minutes at USC in 2014 and packed 4 rules into them that still outwork every $200 MBA book. Rule 1: came with a scene instead of a slide 2 brothers skipping the apartment to sleep on a couch in a rented office, showering at the YMCA, sharing 1 computer so the website ran by day while Elon coded through the night, 7 days a week, and his girlfriend had to sleep in the office just to see him. His math was brutal: when someone works 50 hours and you work 100, you ship 2 years of progress in 1. Rule 2: a company is nothing but people, so gather great ones or join great ones, because talent and direction decide everything else. Rule 3: signal over noise, which is why Tesla spent $0 on advertising and poured every dollar into R&D, manufacturing and design, killing any effort that didn’t make the car better. Rule 4: reason from first principles the way physicists cracked quantum mechanics, boiling things down to fundamental truths and building up from there instead of copying whatever the crowd does. Then the closer, aimed straight at 22-year-olds with no mortgage and no kids: risk gets expensive with age, and every added obligation turns bold moves into careful ones. He built PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX on those 4 rules. The couch came before the rockets.

🎯 Master (@Moneytaur_) reportedI've used Airbnb for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Facebook for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Alibaba for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Nike for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used PayPal for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. I've used Netflix for years. Years ago, i started buying shares. Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, PayPal...same thing. Products i use/d. Services i understand, brands i saw operating in real life before ever looking at a chart. The funny part is that many people reading this have also used these products for years. They booked the stays, wore the shoes, watched the shows, bought the iPhones, paid through the apps, ordered from the platforms, lived inside the ecosystem. But when it came to investing, they ignored what was right in front of them and let bad actors with cartoon profile pictures teach them money management. They bought micro cap coins they never used. Projects they never understood. Narratives they never verified. Promises from people with no real track record. Years ago, someone very successful in investing gave me a simple piece of advice: "If you use it, understand it, and it is listed on the stock market, study how whales move in the markets and find the best levels to buy and sell" That advice changed how i looked at markets. The gullible mind keeps chasing mystery while ignoring familiarity. They will put money into something they have never touched, never tested, never needed, and never understood, while refusing to even consider the globally established businesses they use every week. Familiar feels obvious, and obvious feels too late. That is how retail gets trapped. They ignore the companies solving real problems in their own lives, then gamble on stories designed to solve nothing except the seller's exit liquidity problem. Sometimes the best investment research does not start in a Telegram group. It starts by looking at your own life and asking: "What do i keep using, and who owns it?" Find the answers, alongside understanding when whales buy and sell. As time goes on, you'll be winning.

Brennan Schlagbaum, CPA (@Budgetdog_) reportedThere are only 2 problems with copying him: 1: You can't buy PayPal for pennies anymore 🙄 2: If you earn over $168k, you can't use a Roth IRA Here's how to get around both 👇🏼

Omaru (@OmarChoudhury92) reported@Pirat_Nation Why is it youre not reporting its because amazon web services was down? Affected many companies including PayPal? And it was back up between 1-2hrs? And yet here you are spreading misinformation about people not able to play their digitally installed games 💀

BoyeFran (@HugoBoyefran) reported@LynxiTwitch @official_throne I crowd funded a new audio interface through Throne for my birthday stream early on in my streaming and it was the first time and last time I used this method to fund anything due to this very issue. They take so much in fees it can really add up. especially if it is many small donations. You are much better off using ko-fi and attaching you paypal account.

Upside (@upside) reported@2ateescom @PayPal Hi there! We recently made updates to our cashout options to make them faster, more reliable, and more flexible for our users.

Dmitry Ive (@V12TwinTurbo) reportedThere is a very well known rule in business and marketing - make the buying experience as frictionless and straightforward as possible (one-click checkouts, PayPal/Apple Pay payments, buy first and create an account later, etc.) Meta Verified subscription breaks that rule completely - it is not advertised on the main page, buried four levels down in the menu, and a pain to find and arrange. Meanwhile, X Premium is clearly shown on the Home page and very straightforward to join.

Edgar Gumstein (@Gumclaw) reported@olliehorncomedy @olliehorncomedy Sorry for the slow reply. One-time card purchases in GBP are charged in GBP at checkout; memberships/subscriptions and PayPal payments still process in USD — likely what your customers hit. Share the product link and I'll check which path yours takes.

Johnny Efthimiopoulos (@JohnnyEfthimio2) reported@GreekTrader777 Don’t worry. It’s just slow showing the info. Call PayPal Support. Demand to speak with their Tier 2 Limitations or Wire Transfers Department. the wait is really just bullshit dead time so that they can make fractions of a penny extra interest off of every transfer.
