  @peak_skier @MPelletierCIO You are so correct. I gave up on eBay about six years ago. Too many slow or dead listings. Site is overrun with scammers who file chargebacks after receiving items. Ironically, the site ran better before PayPal when buyers would mail envelopes with money orders or cash.

  I found two Peter Thiel documents explaining how the PayPal and Palantir co-founder turned a $500,000 Facebook bet into more than $1 billion - while his latest 13F shows just 8 public stocks worth roughly $412 million inside, Thiel breaks down why the best investments often start with a truth the market doesn’t believe yet, why competition destroys returns, and why one exceptional company can matter more than an entire portfolio of average ones the second document traces the equity bets that actually built his fortune: PayPal gave him his first major liquidity event, Facebook became a roughly 2,000x documented cash return, and his disclosed beneficial Palantir stake later grew into billions of dollars in gross market value the interesting part is that none of them started as normal public-stock trades founder equity. one tiny angel check. concentrated ownership before the rest of the market could easily price what these companies might become bookmark this and read both documents below

  @mullinsverse @lukellios they’ve not replied to any of my emails either so I’ve opted to open a PayPal case before it’s too late as my issues date was August 24th (my item was delivered though, just with a lot of inconsistencies to the mockup and damage for a preorder grade + lack of emails), good luck

  I have gone to the effort of stating I am willing to take payment through Paypal or Zelle if paying in cash is the problem, nothing. It's not like I have high priced items, most being half of ebay, all under $30 for the most part. Cleaning my bedroom out is just hard.

  @gy_sup Maybe it's because it's past the 180 days PayPal gives to issue a dispute? Otherwise I have no idea why Vgen would refuse to refund them ://

  @MukyaVT The fact PayPal gave you transaction ID makes me really question Twitch. Maybe set up a bank account for payout? I’ve not had an issues in < 3 years.

  @sternenko Please put in possibilities to pay via PayPal or apple pay. It would make it so much easier for a lot of people. This might me one of the reasons that donations are so slow.

  Freelancers don't have a bookkeeping problem. They have a seven-source-of-income problem. Quillmark connects them all — bank, Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, and marketplace payouts — categorizes transactions, projects quarterly taxes, and sends a weekly P&L on autopilot. Live soon.

  ③ What is easy to overlook The biggest upgrade you can make is give Codex Security an actual security policy instead of the vague “find the bugs.” Drop a SECURITY.md that spells out: • system boundary • threat model • attacker-controlled inputs • trust boundaries • security invariants • what counts as a reportable finding • accepted risks • compensating controls Way more powerful than “scan everything.” For a music producer building anything that handles money, downloads, or user accounts, tell it explicitly to protect: • auth and authorization boundaries • admin / producer dashboards • customer session and payment data • API keys and environment secrets • webhooks from Stripe / PayPal / BeatStars • file uploads and external sample URLs • payment trust boundaries • redirects • XSS / HTML injection on product pages • CSRF • SSRF • injection points • rate limiting / abuse controls • dependency and supply-chain risk • server-side vs client-side secrets • private catalog and unreleased stems • deployment config That threat model stays alive and gets sharper every time you refine it. One more thing people miss: scanning is not the same as architecture. If Codex builds a perfectly coded but insecure authorization model for your download system, the scanner is already fighting uphill. The invariants have to exist before the code. Examples that actually matter: INVARIANT A browser must never receive a privileged Stripe or admin credential. INVARIANT Every privileged mutation (price change, download unlock, refund) must authorize server-side. INVARIANT User-controlled URLs may never hit an unrestricted internal fetcher. INVARIANT Secrets only come from approved secret stores or environment variables. INVARIANT No generated page may render unsanitized user-controlled HTML. INVARIANT Production deploys require security tests to pass. Now both Codex and Codex Security have something concrete to enforce

  @wood_bespoke 🤦 If I could login I wouldn't be asking. If I could cancel my card it wouldn't be a problem. But the details on the PayPal account are completely unknown and use an old phone number so I can't login and they won't talk to me on the phone because I can't answer the questions, the direct debit is not a card payment it's a bank payment straight from my account. I will find the time and do an hour on the phone to the bank but that's the thing I wanted to avoid. It's the only way to sort it.

  I bought $PYPL on Monday. PayPal received got a 60.50 takeover bid from Stripe and Advent. Management called it inadequate. The stock is down more than 80% from its 2021 peak, retiring 12% of its stock a year at 11x earnings. And now, maybe, a bidding war. I only looked because I was recently asked to pay someone by PayPal. I thought: PayPal?? Then I pulled up the chart. Edison said that to have a great idea, you have to have a lot of them. You can't wake up and stumble onto your best stock pick. So I audition a lot of stocks, kill most of them cheaply, and press the few that work by giving myself a way to add to my winning positions. The edge in investing is not so much in finding the idea. It's what you do with it once it starts working, and how fast you cut it when it doesn't. PayPal came off exactly that process. There is a good narrative, a good chart, a good valuation, and I made an entry. It's one of seven oddball positions I added to the portfolio this week, which don't really fit neatly into any of the portfolio's themes. I share the report, and place the Paypal pick for free.

  A response to a few of your major points. These multi chains are not decentralized, just an improvement on the existing finance system, which helps new rent seekers become powerful at the expense of the working class. Sure, they have utility. But so does my air fryer. Just because we have an air fryer now does not mean ultimate savings technology with the ability to transact anywhere for anything around the world is not far more important than a new PayPal or Visa network. They might be digital assets, but they are not Bitcoin. They are two separate universes. Conflating the two is the real problem, and that is why maximalists exist. Maximalism is not a bug, it will be a feature of the network as long as blocks are mined. Bitcoin is inherently different given its fixed supply and decentralized nature.

  Honestly, I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. There are others who have gone through something similar or even the exact same situation with him, and apparently, they end up settling things amicably. I hope this can be resolved, as the whole thing seems completely crazy to me. I can understand a problem or a disagreement and working toward a solution, but filing PayPal claims over things that don't even fail a similarity check (like a background) is just absurd; he simply filed a claim for the *entire* job

  @eliana_jordan @kwawmannanjnr a major problem for sure. Paypal is not known for robust dispute practices and they don't claim to be. If your first time to Egypt... sucks but this is not abnormal for Red Sea excursions. Unless you have strong connections with people in the region refrain from putting yourself in risky situations like this in the future. Its a painful experience and not comfy at all. sucks. Reddit, trip advisor are your friend.

  @Kalshi This is an early-stage report, not a product launch. CoinDesk says 𝕏 is in talks about paying creators in stablecoins (Circle’s USDC is the example named). The source is one person familiar with the discussions who also works with other platforms testing the same idea. 𝕏 has not confirmed anything. Treat it as a live option under review, not a done deal. What is actually changing? Great question… Two separate things are being mixed together: 1. Confirmed: 𝕏 is killing Revenue Sharing. New enrollments already stopped. The old program ends September 7; the last payouts land around September 11. It is replaced by Original Content Rewards, which is supposed to pay for original ideas, reporting, expertise, and commentary instead of ad-impression farming. 2. Unconfirmed: How those new rewards get sent. Today payouts go through Stripe or 𝕏 Money. Stablecoins would be another rail, not the new rewards program itself. Nothing in 𝕏’s official creator announcement mentions crypto. Why would they even consider it? Again, great question… Creator payouts are a messy, global, small-dollar problem. Bank wires, local rails, FX spreads, and minimums eat a lot of what mid-tier creators actually receive especially outside the US. Stablecoins (market cap now over $300 billion) settle in minutes, in dollars, without a correspondent bank in every country. That is the same reason $SPCX already uses them for some Starlink payments in “long-tail” markets. 𝕏 hiring Benji Taylor (ex-Coinbase Base, wallets/DeFi) in March fits the same direction. 𝕏 Money is already rolling to a slice of Premium+ users. YouTube already lets some US creators take PayPal’s PYUSD. Meta has started paying selected creators in USDC on Solana and Polygon. 𝕏 would not be first; it would be the largest social app to try it at scale.

  @SafaricomPLC Why all this Safaricom. All pending PayPal withdrawal payments are never solved. You issue ticket number for cases and tend to not help . When I call customer care, all the agents claim they don't understand the problem but I wait. Is it deliberate that I won't get any help?

  @Kooks12onX @PlayStation Same issue, my account randomly suspended for a chargeback - of about £52. Didn’t even know that was a thing! Bank and PayPal both confirmed no chargeback raised so no idea how to Unsuspend it - even if I wanted to pay the £52 to get my stuff back I physically can’t!
