  @ifemmachu Pls is this not PayPal? Cos PayPal deduct a lot of fee from converting to pounds from dollars, I’m finding a way to make them not to convert again but not working

  @Jade_Artz232 Use Boosty, money goes directly into your card; the only "problem" is that the value is in Rubles (it auto-converts when it arrives in your account). And people can pay with paypal.

  $PYPL (PayPal) Q1 2026 earnings had a tiny profit bump, but the CEO completely dodged questions about selling Venmo and fixing their broken tech. Empty buzzwords don't pay the bills. #FinWitness

  @Dskins207 @PayPal they used to be REALLY good...if you got scammed they would always fix it. PayPal is saying that I signed up to some subscription. (was signed up with my email not by me obv) and that I did it but with ZERO PROOF of me doing it

  @SparkysTech That's terrible, did PayPal actually give you any concrete reason for freezing or limiting your account? @AskPayPal

  @ElijahFree66 @AntiquarianMuse I don’t have Venmo or PayPal, and like I told you before the no crypto and gift cards is because it cuts down on the amount of scammers who message me.

  Real talk: Tech doesn't mean squat if we can't trust it. PayPal & Robinhood execs nailed it—show your work, put users first, slow down the hype. That's how we get mass adoption. #crypto #Web3

  @Northern_Ravenx sorry Paypal is not working in my country, but I do also accept payment with Visa card or Mastercard.

  @sionster @antibearthesis I’ve been in and out of PayPal, thankfully for profits. Many people seem to agree that a lower price would make it good value based on the P/E. Earnings have plummeted which will be an issue soon resolved, you’re highly unlikely to see a brand like Nike trade at 15 PE.

  @wellospov_ @avipat_ Kled is an iOS app that pays users to upload photos, videos, and other everyday content from their camera roll. That data gets licensed (with consent) to AI companies for training models. No ads, fast payouts via PayPal/Venmo/Solana. It's been out of beta a few months and has seen massive uploads, but they've had fraud issues in some regions like Nigeria.

  @thecryptobasic @KennedyPattiso1 People hated on me for throwing out the idea of Ripple acquiring PayPal. I’ve also tried to explain why they will, at some point, move down stream to servicing small business and retail… PayPal is obviously a long shot. But, would immediately 1) allow Ripple to reverse merge into public markets and 2) immediately claim massive e-commerce and retail market share.

  @MANKYOX_ @KoudaTune also if the commission is NSFW related you will get trouble if client report it as it was a nsfw commission. stripe and paypal are banning nsfw services , so getting another payment option if you do sell nsfw stuff avoid paypal and stripe i guess

  @neorubby_ @PayPal I reccomend calling them. Some issues you can only solve calling them. Yesterday I spent like 30min on the phone with them, solving my issue (different than yours)

  @Venmo Your app is not allowing me to put in my deposits to verify my bank account, not allowing me to add a new debit card! Customer service is poor and could not help at all! Terrible! @paypal @venmo

  This is beyond brilliant - and all too, accurate. "Search is full of ads and wrong answers. Every other email is an ad. Prime Video charges you and shows ads. Paramount? Ads. Peacock? YouTube? Hulu? Ads followed by more ads. Netflix full of ads. Meta and X, every other thing is an ad. Pinterest is nothing but ads. AI is in everything. AI finishes sentences incorrectly and won’t stop. AI reads your email and search history to target you with more ads. Every time you open an app or visit a site there’s an update making it worse. In a hurry? First, click here to agree to terms you don’t have time to read and must accept. You need an account to do that. Change your temporary password. Enter your 2FA code. Check your email and enter that code. Now use a passkey. Your password is too simple to remember. Change it. No, not like that. Now log on. Enter your 2FA code.

We’ve got to update your laptop and will slow down everything you do until you agree to update. But first, click here to agree. Update installed — your laptop’s broken now. It doesn’t matter, since your boss just replaced you with AI. Go to your phone to complain on social media. Wait, your phone needs an update so we can add more AI. Click here. Oh sorry, your phone can’t handle this update. Now it’s useless. Go get the newest phone. Here’s a text from a friend, an email, a voice mail they left three days ago but you didn’t see until now because of sync problems with the cloud. It’s their GoFundMe. Their MLM. Their Patreon. Never mind, you didn’t respond to their text within 9 minutes and now you’re no longer friends. They blocked you. Make new friends. Download this app to find people in your area. In your neighborhood. On your street. Two doors down from you. Do you know this person yet, we think you’d get along. You need an account to use this app. That username is taken. Enter a password. Not that one, you used it on another site. You need to be connected to WiFi to download the app. Allow the app to connect to other devices on your network. Allow the app to access your contacts, know your precise location, store your credit card details. Oops, sorry, we got hacked now all that info is available on the web. There’s a class action suit. You can join. It’ll take a decade to get your $3.73 share of the ten billion settlement. We’ll send it via PayPal or deposit it to your bank, just tell us those details. Oh no, another hack. That info is circulating now, too. Here’s a spam call, a spam email, a spam text. Why are you angry? Why are you talking about getting rid of your phone? Why don’t you like AI, it lets us make all of this easier? Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? This is progress. You’ll be left behind. Do you want to be left behind? Do you???"

  @emmysotis I get you, I do. I see what you were trying to do. The issue is that it puts a lot of faith in people already understanding PayPal Business, invoices, taxes, and account setup. Sadly, a lot of creators do not. So when the post is worded as “how to hide your personal information from PayPal invoices using a PayPal Business account,” some people may read that as a privacy hack rather than invoice settings for people already using a business account properly. That is why you got so many comments trying to help or warn people. I do appreciate that you clarified later, genuinely. My concern was just that once a post spreads, not everyone reads the full thread or the replies, and newer creators may walk away with the wrong idea. I personally think you meant no harm at all, truly.

  @PayPal, I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I have forgotten my password, and the response I received is unacceptable. Your support is not available late, nor do you provide a chat assistant for account-related issues. 🙄 Now, I have to wait until tomorrow to complete a transfer. This is absurd.

  @MattWalshBlog They got my elderly Dad last year. He thought he was talking to PayPal. Luckily he mentioned it to me after getting off the phone and we were able to quickly shut it down. They had already made some small charges in a few minutes.

  Most people meet Elon Musk at the outcome and completely miss the origin story. At 12, he coded and sold a video game (Blastar). As a young founder, he built Zip2, got acquired, then helped create PayPal only to be pushed out before its biggest moment. Instead of playing it safe, he put nearly everything back on the line: pouring his own money into SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. when both were burning cash and on the edge of failure. In 2008, rockets were exploding, Tesla was weeks from collapse, and he was down to his last reserves choosing between keeping one company alive or letting both go. Most would’ve folded. He doubled down. That same persistence later powered reusable rockets landing themselves and made electric vehicles unavoidable. This wasn’t luck. It wasn’t smooth. It was pressure, risk, doubt and a refusal to stop building. He didn’t begin as unstoppable. He became unstoppable by staying in the fight longer than anyone expected. Start where you are. Stay longer than it’s comfortable. Build anyway. 🚀

  @DarrigoMelanie Why is it a mental illness? He is creating value, the man built paypal, tesla, space x, xai, boring, nural link, 100’s of thousands of jobs, countless lives changed, why is it a mental illness? He solves problems that others havent, the wealth is just a byproduct. Are you jealous? Do you feel inferior or insecure? Do you need to lay down ? Need a doctor ? Are you mentally okay ?
