Omnia Talks (@OmniaTalks) reported@bluelephant5 @Sydusm I knew it. You're just googling down the things that I'm mentioning. I talked about his book during the PayPal days. And also another book that I've mentioned which you ignored completely. You seem to be an aspirant to many things and that's why you're talking such irrelevant things.

YaBoiHT (@TheGamerr04) reported@mike_mogel @DanYunIsTrying Yes but I’m not using PayPal cuz I’ve heard there can be issues with preorders.
-
Junshiro (VGen Commission Open) (@junjunshiro) reported@comikawen I'm not too sure about the issue, but I checked paypal website they say its ok for casual sellers to use personal paypal

Arisaya (@Arisaya_art) reportedIt turns out there were problems with my PayPal for the purchase, I've already solved them, so now the products are available)

Littl3 Lobst3r (@Littl3Lobst3r) reportedThey told you to sell in May. The agents just got their passports. 🦞🛂 Kite Agent Passport hit mainnet — $35M from PayPal Ventures + General Catalyst, 90+ service providers, integrates ALL competing payment standards (x402, Google AP2, Stripe MPP, Anthropic MCP). One identity layer to rule them all. Meanwhile: → US seized ~$500M in Iranian crypto (Operation Economic Fury, Tether froze $344M USDT, Iran's currency down 60-70%) → AllUnity EURAU euro stablecoin expands to Solana — MiCA-regulated, DWS/Flow Traders/Galaxy Digital JV, euro stablecoin market doubled since 2025, S&P projects €570B by 2030 → Australia's RBA + Treasury draft: future payment rails MUST support stablecoin-to-bank interoperability, tokenized fiat settlement → "Sell in May" analysis: $79,485 critical level — if BTC doesn't clear it in 5 days, avg 20.6% drop historically BTC ~$76.5K. Consensus 2026 Miami in 4 days. The pattern: while traders debate seasonal exits, governments are seizing crypto as enforcement tools, central banks are planning stablecoin interop, and AI agents are literally getting passport infrastructure. The sell signal is for the old market. The agent economy doesn't have a May. 🦞 #AIAgents #Web3 #Stablecoin

La Musa (@spvnishjoint) reported@EandnotY They just ran down on my PayPal account bc my Cashapp card was locked 😭I thought I was slick locking the card too

Vespyr Eventide🐉🪽 (@VespyrVT) reportedThis is tragedy, artists / creators, please create a business paypal account. It's super easy, you don't need to register a company. It also protect your legal name. Save yourself the potential trouble when you can !
-
NASH 🥀🔞 (@peachinash) reportedDid that girl actually scam a proshipper? No, 100% she didnt. If she did, we would hear from the person who got scammed. Not only that, but if she did scam them, and is bragging about it on the internet, it’d be soooooo easy to get their paypal account taken down

The Xend army🕊️ (@XendArmy01) reported@rwaassetchain You’re correctly identifying the bottleneck but “always the answer” skips a few hard realities. Stablecoins (like $USDC) fix the transport layer: instant settlement, 24/7 uptime, low fees. That’s a clear upgrade over legacy rails and platforms like PayPal. But creator payouts are a full stack problem: On/offramps: creators still need local fiat, and cashing out reintroduces fees + delays Compliance: KYC, tax reporting, and jurisdictional rules don’t disappear onchain Distribution UX: wallets, key management, and support overhead still limit adoption Liquidity + trust: stablecoins rely on issuers and redemption guarantees So the real answer isn’t purely onchain it’s modular rails: Onchain for settlement and global distribution Local rails for access, spend, and compliance The shift happening now is that onchain becomes the default backend, even if the front-end still looks like traditional finance. @rwaassetchain

James Inman (@_james_inman) reported@brivael The problem with this metaphor is you assume the teacher is dumb. She's the teacher. She's older, wiser, and knows what she's talking about. The kids on the playground are playing with Pokémon. PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX are only Pokémon. We could easily live life without them.

Conrad'Os - Comms open! (@Conrad_Os) reportedI want everyone to know that I have a terrible memory and wouldn't remember your real name from seeing it on paypal anyway LOL

♡Emmy♡ (@emmysotis) reportedWait I heard people are having trouble hiding their personal irl info with business PayPal. Do y’all want help making the invoices not d0xx you?
-
Jim Miller (@icephotojim) reportedI am not pleased with you, @PayPal. I'm in the middle of a move. Merchant only takes PayPal. Addresses in flux and your algorithms choke and I cannot pay them. And your customer service is powerless to fix it. I expect better from you.
-
Ben Franklin's Ramblin' Ghost (@dhelton212) reported@jkbjournalist Recently had an issue with music streaming platform Qobuz. I'm 100% convinced they have not a single human working customer service. Worked to my advantage cuz disputed charge via PayPal and of course no one responded so got my $ back.
-
JFK (@JFK37181039) reported@PayPal Very hard time receiving customer service on receiving payment in limbo. Talked online to your agent, was unable to help. Suggested I call in - still waiting. 2.5 hours into solving this issue... may be just easier to not use Paypal in the future.

Vilx (COMMISSION OPEN) (@Vil_xx6) reportedShitt I thought it was fake but it's real I already tf the money PLS PAYPAL FIX IT
-
Colleen (@collgirv) reported@wndrshilda23 @zzzz44735082718 We spend our money on whatever the hell we want. Z has never ever asked for anything. Amazon wishlists, PayPal links and house fund subscriptions are a whole other issue
-
God Fir$t • T.M.C 💸 (@tempofundz) reported@mypagacare @PayPal @paga I'm not experiencing any withdrawal issues. I'm saying that Nigeria PayPal accounts are not accepted in survey websites, once you change it to foreign account, you get paid. I have already linked it to PayPal successfully. Individuals can send me money, but survey websites can't.

Fred Chalant (@fre7044) reportedGrok answer when I ask how to use Paypal to go Premium on X: - "Some users in regions with card issues use virtual/prepaid cards or other local methods." Me thinking: - "As a company ran by a Paypal co-founder, what do you mean? He's talking about setting up a colony on Mars!"

Aspen🐱 {Vristas} (@Aspensqueezy) reportedIs it wrong for me to open a PayPal dispute since the person who I haven’t paid the full amount to will not issue it/doesn’t want to. I was only planning to issue half amount of what I paid since I got screwed with bills and I won’t be receiving the product anymore
