Natashia K (@TashiaLVQueen) reported@AskPayPal I can't access my account because I disputed a charge and I'm caught in a sign in failure loop. I have no service on my phone so I can't do the text verification. I need to use my card to buy things I need.

Esco Obong (@escobyte) reportedWhat do Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, Stripe, Twitter, Shopify, Slack, and PayPal have in common? They all started as monoliths and relied heavily on monoliths for years after becoming unicorns. Do you actually have enough load on the system such that you need to scale the users service independently from the orders service? Can you not fit tens of millions of users, payments, products and orders in the same database cluster? Is your team so large that development velocity is an issue and you need seperately deployable services even when there’s no load scaling benefit just to alleviate operational scaling issues? The biggest benefit of a monolith is dead simple transactions. If your app does things like charging cards, updating inventory, or reserving cars/rooms, those actions need to succeed or fail all together. In a monolith, that’s easy: wrap them in a single database transaction. With microservices, you need distributed transactions or eventual consistency 💀. A saga pattern to coordinate failures and rollbacks across a chain of services. This is error prone, expensive infra, runs slower and takes months longer to develop/test. It also requires way more maintenance as the system evolves. It limits your velocity when introducing new concepts and flows which startups often need to do quickly. Start with a monolith. Get speed and correctness by default. For special needs like real-time streams or heavy compute loads, you can justify adding another service if it actually needs different composition of CPU, memory or storage that can scale independently from everything else. Each microservice is supposed to exist to solve a specific scaling or operational pain point. Let the real bottlenecks shape your architecture.

Omoalhaja (@omoalhajaabiola) reported2017-2018 I lost many gigs just because of payment issues. You had to wait for 14 days for fiverr to clear your funds. Using PayPal with pseudo-names and masked location means you are one message away from getting suspended. It’s truly transformative to see @RaenestApp solving these issues for freelancers

Funnelish (@funnelish) reportedShopify checkouts leak at the payment step. 1,800 sessions with 36 ATC and 0 sales → That’s payment friction. Buyers show intent—then vanish at checkout. The culprit: limited payment choice (PayPal only). 0 purchases after 36 checkouts = users were forced down a single trust path. 50% of leads abandon checkout if their payment method isn't listed. Minimize drop-offs by removing Shopify hurdles. - Match payment options with the audience type. On Funnelish you can build checkout paths around how each market actually pays.

Termites (@TermitesRGood) reported@N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you

♱⃓˚₊‧꒰ა cierra 👁️🪶|| healing arc ໒꒱ ‧₊˚♱⃓ (@CierraTenshi) reportedI may just be slow and maybe missing or misunderstanding things..but genuinely, what does one even do in this situation? I felt genuinely relieved and happy after receiving this email from @PayPal saying some features of my account had been restored and that I only needed to provide additional information. I logged in immediately following the instructions, but I found nowhere to submit anything. I then messaged customer support only for them to say that I just ignore that email because they decided to keep the limitation. I was cooperative and provided all the info they needed as soon as I could, so receiving that email gave me hope that there was may some progress. I just don’t understand why that email was sent at all if they were just planning to keep my account banned. It feels incredibly misleading and honestly unfair and hurtful.

Kalan Miizure // VArtist (@KalanMiizure) reported@exisbread I have the fees built into my prices because you are losing 10% with those fees. I always offer my friends either Vgen commissions or direct Paypal/Cashapp payment to save money. If they want the Vgen protection that is not a problem, but I am not losing money over it.

Mike Wheeler (@EdgeLordWheeler) reported@GenuineComics A long time ago we had a problem with stripe crowdfunding was really new and they did not support crowdfunding at all. So they canceled the merchant account for it. So I say hey you know what I'll use PayPal. All the creators that were on it including Larry Higgins, you know the crazy ******* Canada guy that does Nyobi? Well they decided that that was a scam and all started attacking us for no reason. So I said **** it pulled the plug and deleted the site. 6 months later fund my comic launched. I've given Luke Stone two or three years now to actually do something and make his site better and he hasn't. That's because he can't. He doesn't own his code He leases it It's like a WordPress plugin. And yes fun my comic is a WordPress site. It's not built on the right architecture after it gets big enough it will fail and just stop ******* working. So I said you know what I'm going to bring it back and I put in all the latest technology and now here we are.

M (@ml721721) reported@KeithMalinak I used to sell a lot on eBay until most of the buyers started saying the item arrived broken (which it wasn't it was a picture of their broken item) and eBay sided with the buyers. So the sellers were out the item, eBay & PayPal fees, shipping etc and left frustrated 🙄
