  been limited without any clear reason, especially when there has been no transaction activity on the account. This limitation is causing me significant problems. I need to add my PayPal account details to several freelancing platforms so that I can receive payments for my work.

  @Jarretts2k @benjaminjudahh Bitcoin was around $200 when I was first told about it in 2013. I had my finger on the trigger to send £1000 sterling through PayPal to some guy. That would have got me around 7 BTC because of exchange rates. That was my trial run...i would have put in a lot more because I had just sold my apple stock that I had held for the entire time Steve Jobs was CEO. I dont know, if I had followed through I might have eventually had 150 or 200 Bitcoin. But I paused before sending the trial amount. The guy I was sending the money to had a frogs head for a profile picture and a name like BTC2MOON or something like that. So I backed out. By January 2018 I was in NYC and heard about it again in a restaurant and came home and googled it and arrived on the block size thread on reddit. I remember thinking yeah thats why I didnt buy it in 2013. So I shut down my browser and went yo bed. My son being born in 2023 was the push I needed. I was 50 and had a new kid and **** myself about his financial future

  Everyone celebrates companies like Stripe, PayPal, Revolut, and Cash App. We trust them with our money, recommend them to friends, and build businesses on top of them. But the moment a Nigerian builds something similar, many of us become the first to predict its failure. Why? Is it because the product is bad, or because we have conditioned ourselves to believe that anything built abroad is automatically better than what is built at home? That mindset is a sign of a person being mentally poor and limited. Flutterwave was built by Nigerians. Paystack was built by Nigerians and went on to become one of Africa's most successful fintech companies. These companies didn't become successful because everyone believed in them from day one. They succeeded because they kept building, improving, and earned the trust of millions. Supporting Nigerian innovation does not mean lowering our standards. It does not mean ignoring security concerns or refusing to criticize poor decisions. It simply means judging our own companies by the same standards we use for foreign companies—not by a harsher one. Constructive criticism builds companies. Blind condemnation kills them. There is another challenge we rarely talk about. Too many founders are racing to build the same thing. One payment app succeeds, and suddenly everyone wants to build another payment app. One crypto exchange grows, and dozens more appear. One digital bank trends, and everyone wants to launch another. Innovation is not about seeing what works and copying it. Innovation is about solving problems that nobody else is solving. Nigeria and Africa need builders who will create the infrastructure that powers the next generation of startups. We need breakthroughs in healthcare, education, agriculture, logistics, manufacturing, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, blockchain infrastructure, and countless other sectors that remain underserved. The companies that shape the future won't necessarily be the ones that copy today's winners. They will be the ones bold enough to create tomorrow's opportunities. So before we dismiss another Nigerian startup, ask yourself: If we don't support our own builders, who will? And if every founder is building the same product, who will build the future? The next global technology company can come from Nigeria. But only if we create a culture that rewards originality, demands excellence, and believes that world-class innovation can be built here.

  @Jarhead3534 @WeedVet I quit selling on eBay around 2018 or so. Once shipping rates really started increasing. Between eBay fees, PayPal fees, and shipping costs, their overall cut eats well past any potential profit margin. And then there's the problem ppl, and eBay always sides with the buyer.

  @BoyGeorge @billboard There's an issue I tried several times. The link takes you to PayPal under somebody else's account and I cannot login with my own account. You have to put in a different link, not associated with anyone else else's PayPal account.

  South Carolina, Angela T. Kohl, the 55-year-old Georgetown woman who served as the trusted executive director, sole paid staffer, and bookkeeper of Kids’ Chance of South Carolina, is accused of systematically looting more than $118,000 from a charity whose entire purpose is putting kids through college or trade school after their parents were killed or permanently disabled on the job. Investigators say that over an 18-month stretch she made dozens of transfers from the nonprofit’s accounts straight into her personal PayPal while working from home. When the board finally noticed the missing money and confronted her, she claimed she knew nothing about it. A few weeks later she resigned, citing vague “health reasons.” Georgetown County Sheriff Carter Weaver’s office then audited the books, found the trail of transfers, and arrested her Friday on charges of breach of trust with fraudulent intent (over $10,000) and first-degree computer crime. This is not some abstract accounting dispute. Kids’ Chance of South Carolina exists to help children who already lost a parent to a workplace tragedy. Donors, lawyers, insurance carriers, employers, ordinary people, gave money specifically so those kids could go to school. Kohl, the person they trusted to manage those funds, is alleged to have treated the account like her personal ATM. If the allegations hold, this is one of the colder betrayals imaginable, pocketing scholarship money meant for orphans and half-orphans of dead and broken workers, then feigning ignorance and walking away citing “health.” There is no softer way to say it.

  Yes, be very careful. Scammers will do everything they can to steal your channel. I was recently contacted by someone on TikTok who said he wanted to buy my TikTok account and YouTube channel for $20,000. That was already a red flag because my accounts weren't even that big but still possible. He suggested using a middleman, which I always do, so I agreed. He invited me to a Discord server for the middleman service, and everything looked legitimate. People were active in the chat, there were positive reviews, and it all seemed professional. The middleman even sent me a screenshot of the payment the buyer had supposedly made. Everything looked real, including the PayPal payment. But right before I was about to transfer the accounts, I asked in the public chat if anyone could confirm the middleman service was legitimate. At first, nobody replied for two days, which already felt strange. Then I was suddenly contacted by five different people who told me their TikTok or YouTube channels had been stolen. It turned out the entire Discord server was run by bots, and the "middleman" was part of the scam. They were extremely professional and clearly knew exactly how to steal accounts. Be careful.

  @MDtruthss @surfranchvibes If this were true, he would have just simply invested the cash from Zip2 or PayPal and lived a better life than 99.9% of people. He's interested in solving large problems to benefit humanity; that's pretty clear.

  @LimzPicks @metrolosin @Betfred “he’s a liar but it’s not funny, if gambling has ruined his life then I don’t think we should be laughing at him, regardless of his errors” it’s literally this kind of empathy from complete strangers that is filling up his PayPal account with donations & because people don’t 4/.

  • I have no other GoFundMe link besides this one throughout the war. • I cannot use any other method to collect donations because all banks are closed in Gaza, and services like PayPal and others have been down since the first days of the war.

  If you're trying to get the Holostars EN M&G Online tickets, some things I ran into. - They give the list of all the boys, but the application button is the red one underneat all them. - If there are spaces or hyphens in your credit card number, you might get errors when submitting payment. - I had trouble getting my VISA Debit to work but my Mastercard-that-is-actually-Paypal worked.
