  why is paypal acting up over commissions that aren't even listed as nsfw😭 why are you giving me trouble because my wording didn't imply explicitly that it isn't nsfw

  I've seen the scammer allegations being spread by @paxilard , so I want to explain what actually happened. The entire situation is over $10. In the past, I helped him by receiving payments from his clients through PayPal or Cash App and then forwarding those funds to his Venmo. This wasn't something I was doing for free either he agreed that I could keep 25% of the money I processed as compensation for helping him. Because payment platforms can flag unusual activity, I specifically told him that he needed to let me know before sending any money. This time, he sent money without notifying me beforehand. I wasn't aware the payment had been sent until after the fact, and shortly afterward, my account was locked. Because of that restriction, I wasn't able to handle the transfer the way I normally would. At no point did I scam anyone, take money with the intention of keeping it, or disappear with someone's funds. The issue happened because money was sent without notice, despite me making it clear that I needed a heads-up before any transaction. I also told him that I don't believe I should be responsible for paying the $10 back because the situation was caused by him sending the money without warning after I had specifically asked him not to do that. However, if I have extra money available, I'm still willing to send him the $10 just to put the situation behind us and avoid unnecessary drama. What makes the allegations even more confusing is that this wasn't some random interaction between strangers. We had an arrangement where I was helping process payments and was allowed to keep 25% as compensation. If I were trying to scam him, I wouldn't have been openly working with him under an agreed setup in the first place. Instead of being met with calm attempts to resolve the issue, I was threatened, including being told to "watch my back." I'm sharing this because I want people to have the full story rather than hearing only one side. People can make their own judgments based on the facts.

  In August 2008, Elon Musk was squatting in the wreckage of SpaceX’s failed 3rd Falcon 1 rocket. Both Tesla and SpaceX were on the verge of collapse. The global financial crisis was in full swing. This wasn’t a billionaire playing startup. He was effectively broke. After selling PayPal, Elon walked away with $176 million. He poured $100 million into founding SpaceX and tens of millions more into Tesla which he joined in 2004 and became CEO of in 2008. By mid-2008, he had burned through almost all of it. He was down to his last $35 million. He split that final $35M between the two companies instead of saving himself. He took loans from friends, slept on factory floors, and at one point said he ran out of cash entirely. Forbes wasn’t calling him a billionaire. Most people had never heard of him. Then came the turning point: • SpaceX’s 4th Falcon 1 launch succeeded on Sept 28, 2008 (first privately-funded rocket to reach orbit). • Tesla closed a desperate funding round days before bankruptcy. He bet everything when almost no one believed it would work. Today he’s the first Trillionaire while effectively making a lot of factory workers rich. Insane stuff.

  @mofu_asb about the only thing i see not mentioned is the issue with paypal where people were getting suspended for even mentioning the word "commission" or art related words in a paypal type message. unless they stopped getting ban-happy with that? or it was some false-positives?

  @at_temp Oh no, PayPal is that slow? 😭 By any chance, do you use Wise? I've heard it's pretty popular for international transfers, and I think the money usually arrives much faster than through PayPal.

  @david_parker @Heccles94 I wonder if these people believe Elon should’ve gave away his $220 million from PayPal shares? Also, disposable income of Americans in 2025 is estimated at ~$22.9 trillion. So 5% should be enough from everyone to solve the problems people are insisting Musk should be using his money for

  Right now you have... whatever’s in your bank account. So quick question: Can you PayPal me (or anyone reading this) $5,000 today? No? Not even $100? Not $20 so some kid can eat tonight? You can’t even solve one person’s problems with your current money, but with a trillion you’d magically fix the entire planet? Bro, the math doesn’t change just because you add more zeros.

  @CarsonTalkMoney I think PayPal is also a steal. Issue is how you get into these stocks. Most people see a drop and buy all at once and then bag hold. You have to DCA in and only go for shares too (options drain capital on depressed stocks IMHO). PYPL is better because it at least has a small dividend. Adobe could go down to the lower 100’s so I’m buying in bits and pieces.

  I don't like telling my personal problems in the internet but today is pushing me to the edge yet again. For the past 2 weeks, I see my folks fighting back n forth and I try to distract on myself with labor work but I couldn't take it anymore. I crashed out for the 4th or 5th time this week. All I wanna do is commissions but I was always pulled over things that doesn't serve me than BUT FOR THEM. I had a huge *** argument and it was very verbal then it became physical. Honestly, Who the hell can function like this? I'm done pretending that everything in home is okay, plus I'm planning to run off temporarily. I want to have peace of mind. As much as I don't wanna beg in Twitter, I feel ashamed and embarrassed... So if you're kind enough, Please donate on my PayPal or Gcash, Anything helps.. I can't stop crying while I'm typing this, I feel utterly pathetic

  @PayPal I also found a "call us" interface that opens an in-webpage phone app(???) with... another AI assistant, which is also broken. So I'm shuffling money between accounts and hoping it gets there before @PayPal cancels it entirely (time-sensitive). They're asleep at the wheel.

  Important Announcement: Because PayPal has suspended its services for NovelAI, my workflow has been severely disrupted... I might not be able to generate new images for a while, but I will gradually release the content I've already prepared. I really hope NovelAI finds a solution to this payment issue as soon as possible 🥹

  @kaarstyyy @christiandoana I didn’t have chargeback issues but after like 10 years selling on eBay and using PayPal they were like: we’re closing your account and locking funds for 180 days (6 months) because your bank something about our bank info (the same Chase account we’ve used since the beginning).
