  @AskPayPal Hello! I need help with a login issue. I need to reset my password but I no longer have access to the registered phone number. I cannot send you a DM directly. Could you please send me a DM so I can provide my account details securely? Thank you!

  Use case: $ZEROTHINK is an access key for a live AI product. Utility: holders can unlock ZeroThink Pro without a PayPal subscription while eligible. Anti-abuse: the server rechecks live wallet balance and market value. No custody: users sign a message. ZeroThink never asks for seed phrases or moves coins.

  @AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal My PayPal account was taken over. I cannot login because the hacker changed my email and phone. I need help recovering access. I can provide ID and proof of ownership. I can’t community with support by phone.

  @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

  Thank you everyone for the suggestions! Thankfully I was able to get my account back and the permanent deactivation has been lifted 🙏 Turns out the issue was with my proof of identity document. I first contacted PayPal customer service through chat, but they couldn’t give me a clear reason or help me appeal it. So I tried reaching out through other methods like calling them directly When I called, they were much more helpful and responsive. They checked why my account got banned, guided me to upload a new document, and about an hour later the restriction was lifted So happy and relieved to have my account back T_T

  They 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

  @xatacrypt @Chance_ Stripe would breath life in to PayPal! Hope it happens. The PayPal app feels broken sometimes.

  @CHP_HQ Can anyone from your organization go down to San Jose and speak with PayPal? This company is literally robbing Americans blind! Can anyone in your org explain why they do not require photo ID before opening an account or how they can send money 10X cheaper than West Union

  Did 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

  @AskPayPal Yes but how? I'm really stuck, by the way i can make purchases on eBay and Aliexpress, but i can't acess my account since even the only link you gave to me is not working for me. So i don't know what to do.

  VCPScanner (@VCPScanner) reported 39 minutes ago

  @wallstengine Classic unlock-value move — Venmo is the crown jewel, and spinning it out makes a sale or re-rating much easier. The real question: does PayPal fix core growth, or just break itself into pieces?

  Never use PayPal They block your account permanently for no reason, didn't even tell me why they blocked the account. So many people on YouTube has the same problem, why don't shut down your company? I don't know why they still in business? @PayPal @AskPayPal @PayPalIN

  @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.

  @Tees_KK If you get them to set the PayPal payment type to "Friends & Family" they cannot report a problem with the payment or retract it later for any reason. Be aware though, a lot of scammers request this payment type, so some may see it as suspicious.

  Last part : or at least lie and say maybe this could help blah blah🫠not tell the customer it’s an algorithm thing and there’s nothing I could do. What’s the point of calling if you can’t fix the problem, this is not an unplug and wait 10 sec thing. @PayPal very disappointing.

  Ask PayPal (@AskPayPal) reported 1 hour ago

  @uday1kiran Reliable ways to identify a PayPal number PayPal rarely calls you without request PayPal does not make unsolicited phone calls. If someone calls claiming there’s an “urgent problem,” it’s very likely a scam. Phone numbers depend on the country PayPal does not have a single universal phone number. Numbers vary by region and can change. The only safe way to confirm a number is: Log in to your PayPal account Go to Help Center > Contact Us Check the official phone numbers listed for your country If the number is not listed there, do not trust it.
