  @KupoGames when sending an email you can just put in whatever you want as the from address and a bad mail server will take it at face value. People would just straight up pretend to be paypal or whatever, amazing for phishing scams. Now we have dkim spf and dmarc to help verify everything

  @azusai_ HOW TO AVOID THIS ISSUE 100% FIX NO SCAM: 1. Delete your Paypal Account. 2. Do not use PayPal at all, Ever Again. 3. Use Anything else, other than PayPal. Remember - PayPal is a *****. It was even in 2010. It still is. Do NOT Trust Them with your Money.

  @BlakjakTheGamer @LueLuxe Or someone else does. I got my account limited shortly after banning a stalker from my Discord server. There was no mention of anything NSFW in my transaction history, and my PayPal address wasn't listed on any of my socials, but they found me.

  In July 2013, Chris Reynolds of Pennsylvania became the world's first and only quadrillionaire for exactly two minutes when a massive @PayPal glitch credited his account with an astronomical $92,233,720,368,547,800 ($92 quadrillion). This accidental fortune made him a million times richer than the actual wealthiest person on Earth and was roughly 1,000 times greater than the entire planet's gross domestic product. The digital dream shattered the moment he logged into his online portal, where the system had already auto-corrected the error back to $0.00. PayPal later apologized and made a donation to a charity of his choice, while Chris jokingly noted that if the money had been real, he would have paid off the entire United States national debt and bought his favorite baseball team, the Philadelphia Phillies.

  Following up on this. Despite @eBay refusing to do anything for the infinite people affected by this, you can and should go through paypal or file a chargeback with your credit card. Ebay said it's impossible to return it and refused any reasonable refund. Paypal/CC will force them to accept the return for a full refund if you provide photo evidence of receiving what you purchased damaged. Forcefully, get your money back from this trash company. Also, the return address is @PSAcard. Absolutely embarrassing that a company that specializes in the card market for 30+ years lacks even a basic understanding of how to ship a card so it doesn't get mangled. 6+ months ago they acknowledged this is an issue and would be changing packaging and still nothing has been done. Criminal levels of negligence and zero accountability unless they're forced. Change will come when we stop allowing them to say "I understand we damaged the card but I still think it'll get a PSA7, so it's exactly what you ordered" and force full refunds on every single bit of value lost due to their incompetence.

  @PattyTrills Imagine being so insecure you have to flex your finances on someone going through financial trouble. You reap what you sow and if I had to guess soyboyluke's PayPal account is going to dry up pretty quick here.

  @LueLuxe I had a chance to read a passing FB Indonesian post. Many people complain about PayPal because its service is known to be slow and people's finances are taken unilaterally without compensation.

  Renowned philanthropist, Dan Wema, is in tears after PayPal banned his account containing over KSh 270,000 earned last month. Many are wondering why the popular apostle didn’t link his Facebook monetization directly to his bank account. The issue, however, is not that simple. When creators are first approved for monetization, Facebook often doesn’t allow them to edit the name on the payout tab. Payments are only released when the names on the account strictly match the registered details .Is there a way to resolve this?Dan Wema was expected to receive his highest payout from Facebook next month, thanks to the massive viewership his recent high-profile case involving Samuel has attracted in 2026. He reportedly earns up to $4,000 per month from the platform at times.

  @ExampleInvest11 I was briefly fully allocated to $PYPL yes My theory on PayPal was that it was so cheap that it could not get that much cheaper and that is true to an extent. It found a hard floor at $40 and has been bouncing around above it ever since The financials provide a structural floor Where I was wrong on PayPal was that I estimated the floor to be higher. I did not think it would go below $50 outside of a market crash. Having said that, nobody could have predicted that they would come out and miss guidance (the CFO reaffirmed it just weeks prior) and then rug pull is with firing the CEO before a crap earnings The market environment was also hostile and has been since especially for fintech. Look at all other fintech names. They are in the gutter. So I think it is mainly perception. That’s the problem with X. It’s full of narratives. And the narrative pedalled by a group of particularly toxic accounts on here (some big ones) is that I am somehow one of the worst investors of all time because my thesis on $PYPL did not play out as I thought it would For what it’s worth. I still believe $PYPL is extremely cheap and could still outperform the market over the long term. I just didn’t want to stay in after they got rid of Alex Chriss in the way they did. Lost faith in the *** I encourage you to make your own mind up

  @JohnNumbers I also just suggest with very valuable items to find someone you can sell to privately or someone you can trust, eBay and PayPal always has the potential for issues for sellers if you sell to the wrong person

  Reason why I would advise putting that specifically in there is in case of charge backs and scammers- if you out nothing and they decided to charge you back, PayPal will look at your invoice and see that there was no good or service written down and you'll have a harder time getting your $ back!
