  @Azur_one1 @vexmlk @PayPal So your argument basically boils down to “They’re corrupt, get over it”.

  @vexmlk @SakeTransRights @PayPal It’s against their ToS to… spend your money how you please? This has gone too far at this point. We need to burn the internet back down to its roots or something.

  This is probably the last time i'll be able to get a payout from Itch, as i've been kicked off payoneer and paypal goes out of their way to hunt down nsfw artists. So its possible that after this i'll simply shut down my itch page. (game might make it to steam one day tho)

  PayPal yesterday decided that an online hobby store I buy from all the time was somehow a problem and refused the transaction. I have no idea why.

  @robie474 That “try again later” message usually means there’s a restriction or verification issue on the account, so you should check your PayPal notifications or account status.

  @MaxwellMbae @JoshOO1J PayPal are the worst scummers we have if not it should allow people to withdraw money then they can completely shut down all the account but freezing people's money is not right.

  $PYPL is holding support. which is great except it's still below resistance and the structure says lower prices. so basically paypal is doing what a corrective bounce does before the next leg down. support holding doesn't change the script. it just means the scene's playing out on schedule. wave 3 waiting. $41 is the line.

  @Hannuska2109 @tak_ya_anna Ok, Hansuka. This isn't deflecting, this is mirroring back and reflecting the very same arguments you used to smear people(do you need quotes?). You have a habbit of making snide remarks and then telling people to calm down and "this is an emtional response"... "Ok lets be objective. Journalist, PHD, educated" you said. Sorry for putting this in simple terms as I'm sure it doesn't reflect on your superior intellect but how does that change how someone handles a tramatic event whilst being harassed? On topic though, can you tell us your level of education so we can act more like you? You then go on to deflect after finger pointing with a false comparison to arrive at a pre-determined conclusion with zero proof of any wrong doing. You said "No location. No names. No video. No witnesses. No context." You said you wanted names and address but fail to mention how someone being harassed will obtain these and then simply ignored the rest. What will you do with names big man? If she came out with a name you wouldn't believe it anyway. Should she stay around to take witness statements like you asked for? What format would you like these in? Again do you expect people being harassed to immediately start recording? But then you go after her for recording after the fact? What format would you like your "context in? She gave context. Read slower. You then go on to make another post about how there was no transparency yet two people donated on paypal which I have seen. Me and I believe the other blurred name to be Cyn. These paypal transfers went to a jar that can only be collected by the hero. For someone so eager to tell me about their experience it seemed to fall apart when it came to a basic understanding of a monobank jar. And yet another post about "wanna be bloggers" forgive me for reflecting some of your awful attitude back to you yet again but as a glorified Nova poshta driver, surely you can admit you were wrong all along? Now don't get it twisted, your JAQ method of attack and insincere questions have been cleared up will I the donor and Anna the collector be receiving an apology? Again no emotional responses and fake objectivity please, you can ignore every other question and deflect with an apology instead. God forbid I have to mirror your own actions back to you again. Is it sinking in yet?

  @JoshOO1J I've been using PayPal since 2014 without any issues. Follow their policies, keep your account compliant, and there's usually no reason for it to be limited or frozen

  I have never had trouble with PayPal in past so if I accidentally get scammed shouldn't that just be then my fault ? And just let people apply if proven a scam getting money back I think this scam policy stuff has gone way to far atm that's why speaking up about it

  PayPal integration is critical: payments failing means revenue lost. But PayPal's sandbox mostly covers happy paths. How do you test what happens when things go wrong? This Dev Proxy preset injects random PayPal API errors into your requests. The error responses are modeled after PayPal's official Postman collection, so they match what you'd see in production. Get started in 2 commands: devproxy config get paypal-random-errors devproxy Now your PayPal API calls randomly fail with realistic errors: authentication failures, invalid requests, resource not found, server errors. Each one uses PayPal's actual error structure, so your parsing code gets exercised with real-world formats. The randomness is the point. You're testing what happens when errors land where your code doesn't expect them. A payment intent fails mid-checkout, a refund request gets a 500, a customer update returns a 404. Run your checkout flow against this preset and watch what happens. Does your UI show a useful message? Does your backend retry or give up? Does your logging capture enough detail to debug later? Grab the preset and find the gaps in your error handling before a real payment fails. When did you last test your PayPal error handling?

  @ELYRIX_RECOVERY @LinkedInHelp Thanks! I was able to recover my acct after sending LinkedIn, the front & back of my DL. However, the hacker created a job posting & put my PayPal acct in. LinkedIn took the post down but not before it racked up a $91 bill which LinkedIn charged me for. I can’t recover my money!

  Ramp just raised $750M at a $44B valuation, which is roughly 44x their current revenue. I'm impressed by the level of conviction Ramp has been able to instill in the investors that have poured roughly $3B into the company since 2019, including, most recently, the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. Personally, I'm not sure I get it. I admire Ramp. It's a super smart company that has a genuinely strong handle on AI and is growing and shipping product extremely fast, but $44B? That's more than PayPal, which currently has a market cap of $38B on $32B in revenue. "Fine," you might say. "PayPal is an absolute mess. Ramp should be worth more than it." OK, what about Fifth Third? It has almost $300B in assets and generated $9B in revenue last year (good for $2.5B in profit). Its market cap is currently the same as Ramp's valuation. "Yes," you acknowledge. "Fifth Third is a better-run company than PayPal, but it's a bank. It's slow. Looking forward, its growth trajectory is very modest. Ramp's growth potential makes it a much better bet." So, what about Affirm? Affirm is just as smart as Ramp. It has just as strong a handle on AI as Ramp. It's profitable and on track to generate more than $4B in revenue this year, which would be a 33% increase year-over-year. Affirm's market cap is currently $22B, half of what Ramp was just valued at. That just doesn't seem correct. Something is being mispriced and my hunch is that it's Ramp. But we won't know that until it goes public, if it ever does.

  @TwitchSupport @Twitch Really? You have a creator who has things set up as you suggested and their payment method was still hacked. Wouldn’t it make sense to maybe block a payee when you know they are fraudulent? I understand with PayPal it’s hard to clawback but this is kinda BS. It’s a known issue that creators are seeing over the last few months and it feels like nothing has been done to heighten security to help better block fraudulent activity. You are a big corporation please do better

  3 ways to turn $30K into $1M in the next crypto cycle. This is my second idea, and one I have a lot of faith in: $EXOD — Exodus Movement Inc. Exodus is no longer just a self-custody wallet. It is moving toward becoming a full crypto everything-app. It already has: Self-custody wallets Swaps for major crypto assets On-ramps and off-ramps Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, bank transfer and card options Debit card infrastructure Stablecoin/payment infrastructure Major wallet partnerships A long-term UFC payments sponsorship Plans to bring more financial products into the app They have also acquired companies that help them issue cards and support payment infrastructure for crypto businesses. That matters. Exodus is positioning itself to sit between self-custody, swaps, fiat rails, cards, stablecoins, payments, and eventually broader financial services. During the last cycle, Exodus shares traded as high as around $117. The current price is around $6.68. That means the stock would need to rise roughly 33x to reach $222 per share. A $30K investment at today’s price would buy roughly 4,490 shares. At $222, that position would be worth close to $1M. Is $222 unrealistic? Maybe. But remember: Exodus has already traded above $100 before, and the company is much bigger today than it was in the last cycle. Since then, Exodus has: Reported record annual revenue Expanded its product range Acquired payment/card infrastructure companies Signed a long-term UFC payments sponsorship Built relationships with major crypto platforms Integrated with wallets and platforms like MetaMask, Bitget Wallet, Ledger, Magic Eden and others with a combined 230 million users Built a stronger position as a self-custody and crypto infrastructure company Exodus reported $121M in revenue for 2025. If they can 4x revenue to around $500M in the next cycle, a $6.6B valuation would be around 13x revenue. That is not crazy for a fast-growing crypto infrastructure company in a bull market. Back in 2021, Exodus raised $75M at a much higher revenue multiple. The company is now larger, more developed, and has far more products and distribution. The bull case is simple: If crypto adoption grows, self-custody grows, swaps grow, stablecoin payments grow, and their partnerships start driving serious volume, Exodus could look massively mispriced at today’s valuation. I do not think the market is pricing in what Exodus is becoming. $EXOD is one of the most underpriced crypto-related equities I can find. At $6.68, I think the risk/reward over the next 3–4 years is extremely attractive.

  @CashApp What does it do? I can't order one because you guys shut me down for transactions you allowed to FanDuel without giving me any warning whatsoever and you won't give me a second chance. Millions of dollars worth of transactions since 2014. You lost a huge customer to PayPal now.
