Scratch. (@Scrxtchy) reported@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
-
Kh🌸✨ (@khwabkikhwahish) reported@TwBookClub I have created password and account with another fresh email but my paypal account is with another email and now they are asking me to create another login and password. Can I have my account on online book club and paypal with different email id??
-
Mimiaria (@KH_Mariaa) reportedCan anyone help me? I'm having some problems with creating a paypal account. Idk why but the platform just won't verify my phone number and keep saying "sorry, we can't send a new code. Try again later." I never used paypal since it's not something Malaysians usually use🥲

adelvafa (@iran0pessimist) reportedPayment processors are going after anything labeled as "art" or "commission", holding things up by like 3+ or more days. Kickstarter tried to crack down on legal NSFW art and revoked it, PayPal is doing it now but caught in the crossfire are literally any artists who label their invoices ANYTHING art-related. To get around this, you have to use "Request payment" and click "Friends & Family", and not goods and services. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I've heard on the rumor mill the usual suspects at OnlyFans and PHub have been pressuring payment processors to go after NSFW artists so they can get more people to join OF and PHub as creators, and in the crossfire, PayPal has gone ultra-mode and is icing anything art-related until they can research your portfolio/business to ensure it is up to par. In the case of fellow game creators, you must ensure your storefront content isn't too violent and doesn't have any suggestive themes, because these are being ham-fistedly categorized as "pornography" and this is what payment processors are looking at.

Seric // bara art era (@bredfar) reported@jezz_mons_art I ran into self caused problem where I bought thru PayPal but never logged in/saved the comic on my device I was wondering how I could get the comic?
-
Man | Research (@ManOnChainX) reported@tomosman $GITBANK ? Because of they also working on Github users for if any user has error and solve by other person and give bounty then need to go centralized or paypal.. so Gitbank is building wallet in github so the escrow will send automatically when task complete...

Ducky (@insultduck) reported@wil_da_beast630 @FedEx Wil, you are big enough on here to get their attention, I'm, sure. But, I had a similar runaround situation with PayPal not too long ago involving someone fraudulently using my account to issue payouts. When their customer service was useless, I started finding people in their corporate structure on "Linked-In" and emailed them directly. In my case, it finally got the attention of someone in the executive office, who actually resolved the issue in ten minutes. So, if this doesn't get their attention, start privately contacting anyone you can identify at FedEx corporate. Skip the traditional customer service route. You've got to get a hold of an actual decision maker.

Hervonia Baker Character Designer looking for work (@hervoniasketch) reportedHi, I hate to do this, but my cat is currently passing away. Because it’s memorial Day weekend, we can’t take him to be put down until Tuesday. Unfortunately, it’s not looking like he will make it by then. I run a small shop and I have a ko-fi. I also have a PayPal. Please share.

10BottleValueCo (@10BottleValueCo) reportedSoon (within 1-2 days) I’ll be adding PayPal (worldwide) + direct card payments (worldwide) to the site.💪 After that, I’ll start adding Google Pay and Apple Pay (which should finally work properly)🥳 Also curious what else you’d like to see added to the website.🤔 Or maybe there’s something you didn’t like that you’d want me to improve/fix.🥲 If you’ve run into any bugs or issues as well, let me know - I’ll read everything and seriously consider it.🤝

Wolfgang 🇪🇺🇦🇹🇧🇪 (@Wolfgang18842) reportedPaypal randomly closed down one of my brother's paypal accounts. Reason "We have determined that bla bla bla" Why? idfk cuz **** you @vonderleyen If you can hear me please get their ***
-
adelvafa (@iran0pessimist) reportedSo it seems the issue is that PayPal likes to hold onto payments to collect interest; this is a very ****** practice but payment processors can do whatever ******** they like if there are only like five big ones and they elbow everyone else out.

KUDOS EDITIONS (@kudoseditions) reported@nvmminyg Hey Bau! We’re currently experiencing an issue with PayPal, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We're already working on resolving the issue, and we expect to have everything sorted out by Monday monday!

Steak (@SteakMyClaim) reported@WhaleNoName @wmiddelkoop My thoughts; secret service/PayPal mafia hasn't fixed what isn't broken.
-
Kiro (@ExcluKiro) reported8/ I changed my information as fast as I could. Changed my Google, PayPal, Discord passwords. Anything connected to money, work, clients, or accounts got locked down immediately. I think that speed is what saved me from losing even more.
-
ralph.dev (@ralphsenpaidev) reportedAnthropic is going down-market. Claude for Small Business drops into Quickbooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, Docusign, Google Workspace, and M365. SMBs are 44% of US GDP. The frontier labs are not only chasing enterprises. They are chasing everyone else.
-
Zeytun (@zeytunstock) reportedI sold my $PYPL shares at a loss. PayPal is cheap, but not a good buy right now because they still need to prove it can grow again. Maybe their new CEO will fix some of the issues and the stock flies again but as of right now I think there are better opportunities elsewhere.
-
SA_Observer (@SAObserver1) reportedWhen I get a message from @PayPal to contact my bank @FNBSA because there is a problem with a transaction my blood pressure rises as I realise that I could be on the phone for hours being pushed from one call centre to another.
-
noze ౨ৎ (@nozency) reportedI mean, if the case was the artist you've been waiting for them to open commission, would it turn u down if they only accept payment beside paypal?
-
Harambe Lord 69 (@harambelord69YT) reported@ns1778 @realradec HBO doesn't take "foreign" card payments. Even with PayPal, we technically can't legally. I had to buy an account through a website and get the login. Well using a VPN but now I have both suits, so no complaints about it.

c (@lolitsvincent) reported@irlypt2 @sylviapuffs i stole my dad’s credit card to buy a custom rank on a server and he hasn’t used paypal since cause he thought he got hacked

The Wallstreet Report (@Specialist_79) reported@cryptorover PayPal sucks. They promote an instant transfer, but they randomly hold clients money 5 to 21 days. When i realized this, I knew they would go down. No integrity in this company.
-
Peter Hephzibah | Brand designer (@godof_design) reportedAll these social media apps are really hard on designers for real. I need PayPal or stripe to connect to behance, stripe isnt available to Nigerians and PayPal... Well PayPal is PayPal. Tried cold dming on insta. All meta accounts, gone. Y'all should tune it down a notch please.

-
Matthew Canna (@MatthewCanna) reported@c_vinchenzo Translation, PayPal doesn't allow me to do some sketchy **** so I had to do bidness on my own terms and it's crashing down on me. He always loves to talk about the 3.7 mil, but never about his characters.
