Blended Perspective (@harper_dyl66271) reported@MattMillard2 @RealDannyTommo Who ******** am I? Someone who can actually read figures. Net migration crashed to 171k in 2025... lowest since 2012. Small boat arrivals are also down 41% YTD in 2026. I’m British. You’re just a Danny simp raging at facts while defending a convicted kidnapper’s PayPal grift. How much money have you donated towards his boat?

MayumiBeans 🔞 | Furry Artist (@MayumiBeans) reported@BethanyGC This is specifically for you and others looking at this. When you deal with paypal in any situation it does not matter if the client doesnt want it at all. Paypal saw it as buyers remorse. Because of this i HAD to get the piece done whether i liked it or not. The only reason i ended up losing the case was because he had deleted the images of his character to confirm of his own character. Which is bad faith of any buyer when it comes to goods and services. I did not tell him i wasnt going to do the work, he twisted my words and continued to instead speak about it behind my back and block me without consulting with me to begin with. That is not my fault for him not wanting to even discuss with me. He did not have to “pay for another commission” if he didnt want to. I have others waiting as well. And i myself am struggling financially. That has nothing to do with the buyers feelings especially when i have never had this issue with a poor client like him who ended up slandering and insulting me after everything. Everything about this issue erupted because he misconstrued what i was saying and instead of trying to level with me, he ended up falsely accusing me of things he thought i said without discussing because he twisted everything after i told him what i was going through. As a friend i tried to tell him. And instead he used it against me. Dont believe every false thing or accusation when it comes from someone who doesnt even understand the full picture. Or who has multiple people and other artists who came to me and told me about their personal issues with this client ozox. Because there is more than 3 artists ive spoken with who have had similar issues with them personally and instead of talking they ghosted them and blocked them and cut ties. Then slandered them. The piece i did was from the demand of paypal. How he feels about it doesnt matter. Paypal is the one who cares about the delivery.

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.

Sumit Kar (@SumitKar343905) reported@AskPayPal Hey I'm facing an issue with adding My bank account: My bank account was disabled after failed micro deposit verification attempts.

Jay Hyena (@evelenohdraws) reportedPaypal is giving me issues AGAIN, so I think it's time I find another payment method... any fursuit makers have recommendations? Would using Zelle connected to a business only bank account be a good idea?
-
The Cherry (Blossom) Flavored Gremlin (@CherenaChaosFae) reported@azusai_ @Kimberstar_ I said this in a discord server, and granted this is easier for me/the artists I have commissioned before because it means I either put minimal or no info in the PayPal transaction notes I just write my username for the site I'm talking to the artist on- )1

Roderick (@KyaloIntel) reportedHawa vijana mnaita smart boys ndio wameharibu market. The guys wenye huibia wazungu pesa halafu wanatumia PayPal and Binance. Now those people think that all of us Africans tuko na hiyo tabia. These boys calling themselves forex traders wameharibu sana. Wanaiba from foreign bank accounts and wire the money through PayPal and Binance. Those platforms saa hii hazipendi nywele ngumu. The moment they see you receiving alot of money, they limit your account and later ban it completely even if it's genuine. Some of us started using PayPal 18 years ago ,it didn't have any issues until around 2022 when the so called forex traders started coming out. Then PayPal started closing accounts for everyone.

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.

Sherry💻 (@hexedsherry) reported@gdogorous Sorry I undid your shadow banned fix, I was actually pissed, I didn't really sleep much last night that was why I was being furious, plus with the whole PayPal problem going on, keep watch on your account and let me know how it goes.

ImRedCat (trying to be an artistn't) (@ImNotAtRedCat) reportedI got my first commission, but PayPal is terrible, they blocked my account and I lost the money I earned..... :/
-
Angel Camacho (@AngelCam7) reported@COTM_2 I believe the big issue is how pricey they are, even after shipping & handling. If there was a Pay in 4 option when selecting the PayPal option, I don't think that would be much of a problem anymore.

Sir Peter (@Ava2390) reportedI got 25 bucks in my PayPal… who’s down to link up?

Cracked Dev (@dev_lawal) reportedWon a hackathon and just got the “send your payment details” email 😭 They said PayPal or wire transfer… meanwhile we know how PayPal in Nigeria is, and this is my first time dealing with wire transfers. Tried Grey but faced issues, now looking at @clevabanking. Thoughts?

Mike Yezhov (@ezhovinc) reportedEveryone counts stablecoin TVL. Almost nobody prices the bill to keep it liquid. PayPal pays ~$10M/yr to @sparkdotfi just to keep PYUSD deep against major stables. That's the hidden COGS of stablecoins. Issuance is trivial. Paxos mints, you launch, TVL prints. But depth that survives a redemption wave without slippage destroying trust? That costs millions a year, every year, forever. Someone underwrites the risk and charges for it. Quoted liquidity and reliable liquidity are different products — and the gap is paid in inventory risk and idle capital. For RWA-backed stables it's worse: tokenized assets, FX, and commodities are far less capital-efficient than synthetics. Only Spark, Ethena, and Grove can underwrite this at scale. Everyone else issues a token and prays for organic depth that never comes. That's why your favorite new stablecoin will quietly die. Not from a depeg. From the liquidity bill.

Kay (@kay_myg) reportedIn 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.

Samuel M (@capitalsyst) reportedPayPal just extended PYUSD to Uganda and Malawi. Uganda and Malawi are harder delivery problems than Nigeria. Not easier. Uganda runs primarily on MTN MoMo and Airtel Money trust account structures with thinner liquidity depth. Malawi's financial infrastructure is shallower still. PYUSD provides faster settlement on the transmission leg in both markets. The off-ramp licensing, local banking integration, and trust account relationships required to deliver UGX and MWK reliably are the infrastructure that determines whether faster settlement means anything to the recipient. In thin-liquidity markets, the delivery leg problem does not compress because the sending leg improved.

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.
