  The internet had a capital problem too. PayPal fixed it for humans. Stripe scaled it for sites. x402 closes it for agents.

  @TimHannan Why? If he can make the money, why do you care? Are you so jealous and insecure of other’s success you have to tear them down? Maybe if you had created PayPal, Space X and Tesla, just to name the big companies, maybe you could be as rich as him. But we all know you won’t so you whine about it and probably want to confiscate it. Pathetic.

  @Lucys_Views Yeah I don’t think they’re overly secure. I can’t work out how they got over the 2 step process, as it sends me a sms code to sign in. I changed my password, removed most of my linked cards. Although Tbf once I reported to PayPal, they refunded me every transaction within hours.

  @decoplum18 @PayPal Did you use a nickname or your actual name? I once, had this issue and it was because my pen name didn't match my info. 😭 I eventually got back. I verified my email and gave them my ID and stuff.

  @AranTheLichKing That sounds fine if you are using the account for actual business/creator purposes: streaming income, tips, commissions, invoices, merch, services, etc. The issue is not “having a PayPal Business account.” The issue is treating it like a name privacy shield while using it however you want. So yes, using a creator/business name like “Aran The Lich King” may be fine for branding. But when tax season comes, the income still needs to be properly tracked and reported to the correct tax authority. If you are audited and you have been hiding income, mixing personal and business activity badly, or withholding information from tax authorities, that can become a serious problem fast.

  @theRealEsthero @PayPal Stripe is a good alternative as PayPal has terrible fraud protection or just glitchy overall.

  FedEx won’t let me pay a duty… it keeps saying error when I try to use PayPal and when I put my card info in it says it’s wrong… is it because it’s a debit card and not a credit card? I don’t have a credit card, what do I look like, a functioning member of society???

  "After review, your account presents a high level of risk." I got that email 25 times. Stripe. PayPal. Shopify Payments. Different stores. Different products. All digital. All shut down. Same reason every time. "High-risk." You stop expecting answers after a while. So I stopped asking for permission and built SellStein. Launches tomorrow. 3% fees. Sign up, sell, get paid. No one should need permission to run a business online. Drop your URL in replies. First 50 in get 3 months Enterprise and a lifetime Early Member badge.

  @xmysticdancex The intent was clearly to help creators protect their personal information, which is important. The issue is that the original post framed it like “switch to a business account to hide your info,” but did not explain what using a business account actually means. A PayPal Business account is not just a privacy toggle. It is meant for people receiving business payments, invoicing, selling goods/services, taking commissions, etc. There can be tax, verification, recordkeeping, and account-setting implications. OP only clarify much later her error, but some people might not see that (since its not in the original post). That is why I wanted to add the warning respectfully.

  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

  God, so much to do- Creating a business account without PayPal being an angry father is so frustrating, especially when I get error messages over the simplest of things.

  How to use ICP to top up @ProtonMail account: I switched to Switzerland-based Proton about 10 years ago from Gmail as part of the effort to de-google myself. Among Proton's many great features, one of them is that it accepts crypto payment in $BTC . For an #ICP user, this is how you can take advantage of this to use ICP to pay for Proton services. 1/ In your @oisy wallet (the best ICP wallet, built by @dfinity team), convert $ICP into $ckBTC . As both are using ICP's ICRC standard, the conversion is instant and has no gas fee. 2/ In Oisy's BTC asset, which includes both the native BTC and ckBTC (in an account abstraction fashion), choose ckBTC, and then convert $ckBTC into $BTC. This step will require the standard block confirmation on the BTC mainnet. 3/ In the Proton account, All Settings => Credits => Add Credits, pick the dollar amount. Proton will provide the needed BTC amount and a BTC address (this address is regenerated every time, not a static one). 4/ In Oisy, send over this amount of BTC to the Proton address. Proton will show something like, "your credit is received ...". This "Add credits" pop-up window will disappear. When the BTC's mainnet confirmation is finished (30-60 minutes), the "Credits" section will display the updated balance from the BTC top-up, and Proton will automatically deduct the monthly fee from this balance on the due date. This is almost perfect, except that Proton does not support a yearly subscription with BTC yet - i. e., you can only pay BTC as you go month to month (but it's automatic deduction, so it's good enough), not in an annual plan fashion, which can save 20-30%. Why go through the trouble of using BTC/ICP but not a credit card or PayPal? No KYC, love. Total anonymity.

  3,500 toploaders for $98.64 after my $100 cash rebate hits my PayPal upon shipping. Haters will say but Temu blows you’ll never receive them or your cash rebate and the quality will be terrible Well, quality is actually better than what I was getting from the big names. And my rebates came instantly the last two times and product received within 4 days each time. @CardPurchaser
