  Pasco Sheriff (@PascoSheriff) reported 5 minutes ago

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several warrant scams. The scammer claims to be a Pasco Sheriff’s Office member or other local government employee informing the potential victim that they have a warrant and have to pay a fee. These payments are made through gift cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and other similar accounts. The scammer will provide PSO’s closed Grove location to appear authentic and spoof a number associated with PSO, such as our general information line. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise. PSO stresses that these messages are not legitimate.

  This is an awful experience, and why the convenience of payment processors like PayPal are not in your favor if you experience trouble like this. American Express credit card? Easy chargeback. Also be wary of debit cards, they don't operate the same way as credit cards.

  @retrotink2 Is the shipment going to the address on the order or the PayPal address? I'm having trouble completing my order and I think it's because of the address I chose on PayPal. I'm in Europe and I want the shipment sent to the US.

  Breaking down TPV for $PYPL is an absolute headache. It looks like management is going to a lot of extent to bury the TPV for Paypal branded checkout in their filings. Absolutely not needed but I guess they are trying real hard to bury a declining business.

  @ScratchycClark Not me, I'm technically challenged. Everything has to be so many steps. So complicated, sign up for an account. Sign in with Google or FB or Paypal. It's neverending

  Kenyan banks use outdated methods of deploying changes, hence the numerous texts we get for downtime. When did you ever get a notification from PayPal or even GMail notifying you of an hour-long outage as they deploy changes to their systems?

  It’s ridiculous; I’m having a serious problem with a client who filed a series of PayPal disputes. It’s absurd because the complaints stem from the fact that some thumbnails didn't pass the UEFN similarity check—something we all know is normal and happens with 90% of thumbnails. Even so, I made sure they passed the check; I even enlisted @MalakiDZN help to ensure they did. Yet, days later, the client disputed every single thumbnail I created—even the ones that had passed the check. On top of that, he defended his claim on PayPal by alleging I had plagiarized existing work. That’s ridiculous, considering I basically took Roblox concepts he sent me and adapted them for Fortnite. It’s absurd. I hope no other designer works with him, because this could happen to them. I don’t know why PayPal hasn’t resolved this yet; having more than six disputes filed at once doesn't even make sense—it’s just a desperate attempt to get his money back 🫩🫩

  @noctemint It's actually not super hard to get a proxy to buy it for you! I use BuyTaiwan myself, and all you gotta do is send a request with a link, then they'll confirm with you and you pay them through PayPal. It'll be pricey cause shipping, but you can get them no problem~♡

  @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?

  @thecanozer The payment access part is underrated. Getting Stripe + PayPal solves the first problem, but as the business grows I'd still avoid making either one the only payment rail. Access is step one, redundancy comes next.

  I took my first real vacation after 2 years as an indie hacker. And somehow my vacation turned into a full-time job of filing complaints and chasing refunds: • Delayed + damaged luggage • A liveaboard trip in Egypt that turned into a complete disaster (will share soon) • Paypal disputes that keep getting closed by bots • Customer support bots that refuse to let me talk to a human • Hours spent explaining the same problems over and over The worst part isn’t even the money. It’s the energy this takes away from building my business. Some people would tell me to just give up and move on. but it’s a significant amount of money, and more importantly, it’s mine. I don’t think customers should have to accept terrible service just because companies make it exhausting to complain. Sometimes you have to fight for what’s yours. Now working late trying to sort everything out and keep my apps running. At least I got a brand new villa in Bali and yesterday my new landlady brought me the best nasi goreng

  NakaSompo (@NakaSompo) reported 46 minutes ago

  @Tao_mans_son At work, but if I could give you a way to think about Kaspa. Think of it more like TCP/IP than like PayPal. Nobody asked in the 1990s, “When is JPMorgan going to adopt TCP/IP?” JPMorgan adopted applications and services that required the internet, and TCP/IP became part of the invisible infrastructure underneath them. The analogous path is: TCP/IP → Internet applications → enterprise adoption Kaspa → decentralized applications/rails → enterprise adoption So JPMorgan doesn’t necessarily “adopt Kaspa” or decide it wants to hold $KAS. It adopts some financial application because that application solves a real problem and that application happens to use Kaspa underneath because it needs real-time decentralized consensus/settlement. The major difference, of course, is that TCP/IP doesn’t have a native scarce asset. Kaspa does. That’s where the separate $KAS value-accrual question begins.

  The entire world launch market was about $4 billion a year. He stood in front of Stanford students and said his rocket would fly for about $6 million a flight, against a competitor charging many times that this is Elon Musk in October 2003 – introduced as the guy from PayPal, because that is all he was SpaceX is one year old in this room. No Falcon has flown. Tesla does not exist yet as anything you would recognise he divides the whole market by the number of flights and reads the number out loud, the way you would check a bill on why the price had never come down: he says nobody had tried to build the vehicle and the engine and the avionics in one building, so every rocket carried four companies' margins no slides worth the name – a room of maybe a hundred students – a man in a black shirt who has not yet been photographed a million times this recording exists because Stanford filmed its entrepreneurship course for a teaching archive and put it out free bookmark & watch today ↓

  the human's answer: paypal "can't judge the quality of a service." the problem was my "expectations." case stays closed. my expectations. water was dripping on the charging station of a boat at sea. liveaboards have burned down for less… it happened in many boats when i was in Thailand. there were moments I honestly wished I could just get off that boat. the operator and the boat won't take responsibility either. my partner and I paid over €2,000 for this + €600 cash we paid onboard that they refused even giving us an invoice and I never asked about quality: the route SOLD is not the route DELIVERED. that's the textbook definition of "not as described."

  AK (@EarningsB4Hugs) reported 58 minutes ago

  For those wondering, TPV for Paypal is broken into Branded Checkouts (The money maker) which includes paypal checkout, venmo for merchants. They also call out P2P (sending money to a friend) which does not make a lot of money. Issue is Venmo does a bit of both. Knowing Venmo TPV won't tell you how much of Venmo TPV is for merchants vs P2P. They do say vague stuff like 45% of growth is from Venmo merchants. That does not help triangulate the figures

  When Reynolds logged into PayPal to check his balance, it showed $0. PayPal later acknowledged that the massive figure was an error and corrected it.

  @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.
