  A shopping plugin quietly rewrites who gets paid at checkout. The retailer pays a commission it didn't owe. The creator who drove the sale gets nothing. That's the kind of thing my guest this week on Won't Fix, @bgedelman, finds and exposes. He read the code for Phia, who called it a recent bug; he collaborated with MegaLag on the Honey/PayPal plugin scandal. Ben has been doing this kind of research since 2001. We talked about a bunch of topics, including the story he thinks is being ignored: AppLovin. He decompiled ~600,000 lines of obfuscated code and has some questions for carriers and AppLovin about their consent/installation practices. AppLovin has said that every install has explicit user consent.

  @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.

  The structural problem: PayPal is a distribution company competing against infrastructure companies. Ripple has bank partnerships. Fidelity has institutional custody. Visa has merchant rails. Open USD has 140 partners sharing reserve revenue. PayPal has 400M consumer accounts. In stablecoins, that's not enough.

  @pokemondealsuk @Rakermoon Used my Santander, credit card, PayPal and Klarna card. All the same error, so definitely account related and not bank related

  I'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.

  I 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!!!! #frustrated #freelancer #paypal

  Take Maya. She isn’t a crypto trader. She’s a graphic designer who just wants to send money to a developer in Tokyo without paying a $35 wire fee. Last year, a friend told her to try using a fast financial network. So she did. But the second she tried to move her funds, the screen hit her with a pop-up: “Please convert your ERC-20 token to the native chain using a cross-chain bridge.” Maya stared at her phone. Bridge? ERC-what? She closed the app and used Paypal. That’s the silent killer of crypto. We built incredible financial highways, but we locked the doors with confusing jargon, manual token conversions, and terrifying multi-step bridges. If you have to explain network standards to someone just so they can trade a token, you’ve already lost them. This week, two massive things happened for Injective ($INJ) that fix this exact problem. First, @coinbase finished migrating INJ entirely to its native network. No bridging, no wrapped tokens, no accidental burnt funds. You buy it, you withdraw it straight to where it actually runs. Second, $INJ went live on @RobinhoodApp . Because Robinhood and Coinbase are where everyday people, the Mayas of the world actually hang out. Instead of forcing millions of retail investors to jump through technical hoops, the friction was simply erased. @injective brought high-speed financial tools directly to the apps people already use. The future of crypto adoption isn't about teaching non-technical people how the machinery works. It’s about making the machinery invisible. When moving money on-chain feels as effortless as sending an email, that’s when real adoption happens. We’re finally getting closer to that world.

  Josh peck compares the difference between making money as an actor and an influencer “When I was 15 years old and started making money on Drake and Josh, I was like this gives me a lot of power and it gave me a lot of security and I was like I will do everything in my power to provide for the rest of my life” “ it was a terrible feeling as a little kid, I saw my mom struggle but I couldn’t do anything” “but when I started social media it was the first time that I was like able to do a job and work at something and make money pretty instantaneously” “In 2014, I had gotten really big on VINE, I was the number 1 person on vine and I remember it was July of 2014, I got the brand deal with this darting company called BADOO and they were like we will give you $5000 to make a VINE they were like we will PayPal you” “They were in Europe I was like they will probably not turn out, and I said worst case scenario I spend an hour making this video and they don’t send me the money and I will take it down, then it hit then within that month I made like $20,000”

  Vgen does a lot on their part and are typically pretty responsive when it comes to issues like these,,, Its 100% on paypal. For the others out there, It might be best to set up vgen payments as any chargebacks that may occur will have to go through them and its easier to dispute with a team that understands artists

  Chrome extension "Cashback Master" went 40K → 100K users in 5 weeks. +150%. Buyhatke, same niche: 900K → 1M. Same window, the giant sprang a leak — Honey (PayPal): 13M → 12M. Down a million. Users leaking from the top are getting caught, cup by cup, by the small tools below. When the biggest player in a niche starts slipping: entry signal, or red flag?

  Stripe shut down my friend's account at $47K revenue IRS flagged another one for "suspicious patterns" at $80K PayPal froze $12K for 6 months with zero explanation Meanwhile I just cleared $90K commission on a single gold shipment No platform risk No freeze threats Bank-to-bank wire transfers only The system doesn't care how much you make when you're moving real commodities between verified entities Like, RT & comment "WIRE" for the guide (must be following)

  Turn on login alerts and payment notifications By default, PayPal sends email confirmations for completed payments. But it doesn't always alert you about new logins, password changes, or account modifications. His friend said: "Go to Settings. Click Notifications. Turn on alerts for everything logins, sent payments, received payments, password changes, linked device changes. Get them via email and push notification." He then showed him the Activity page a full log of every transaction, login, and account event. Most people never scroll through it. He said: "Spend 2 minutes once a month scrolling through your Activity feed. Look for payments you don't recognize, logins from unknown devices, or subscriptions you forgot about. That $2.49/month charge ran for 7 months before you noticed it. If you'd been checking Activity once a month, you'd have caught it after the first charge."

  @webdesignerng My first contract was through a dm and I told him the problem that needs to be solved and he bought into it. PayPal, Apple did a lot of pitches and got a lot of NO and when the YES came , it covered the NO. Don’t stop pushing, dont stop pitching.

  @Lizbattler2 LOL yeah unfortunately the way the scam works is they send you a fake check, and by the time its processed and you realize its fake you’ve already sent a “refund.” The reason for sending a check? their venmo, paypal, and cashapp were all conveniently not working today 🙃
