    @azusai_ @Kimberstar_ I said this in a discord server, and granted this is easier for me/the artists I have commissioned before because it means I either put minimal or no info in the PayPal transaction notes I just write my username for the site I'm talking to the artist on- )1

    If you have a PayPal or venmo, there's a life hack for being able to consistently buy Bitcoin and other crypto as well as stocks throughout the day. Instant Legal Transfers type sht. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.......

    @mikuryne Shouldn't be an issue, also you can update it with a new bank account, but if you do not have an account, or do not wish to interact with any banks, id recommend checking. @PayPal could you weigh in on this situations?

    @AskPayPal Hello. My PayPal account is locked with a “unusual activity” security message and I cannot access customer support because login is restricted. Please help me restore access to my account.

    @Heleneafernande Hmm, I’ll check the promo code logic. Yeah, I’m also planning to add PayPal and proper card payments soon hopefully as early as possible, because some people are still running into payment issues.

    @JesseCohenInv PayPal has fallen from its pedestal to this low point... down over 80% in five years. That really is "not too bad." The competition in FinTech is simply brutal.

    @wil_da_beast630 @FedEx Wil, you are big enough on here to get their attention, I'm, sure. But, I had a similar runaround situation with PayPal not too long ago involving someone fraudulently using my account to issue payouts. When their customer service was useless, I started finding people in their corporate structure on "Linked-In" and emailed them directly. In my case, it finally got the attention of someone in the executive office, who actually resolved the issue in ten minutes. So, if this doesn't get their attention, start privately contacting anyone you can identify at FedEx corporate. Skip the traditional customer service route. You've got to get a hold of an actual decision maker.

    @totonna9 @HolyMolySakura This is correct. I had zero issue wiring from a US bank account to the Ishikawa zoo info listed on the zoo site. If they can ever get a paypal/venmo link the numbers would pop but i get the rules and the fact this is a very small zoo with not many resources. But can confirm zero issues from US banks to Ishikawa Zoo bank.

    @PattyTrills Imagine being so insecure you have to flex your finances on someone going through financial trouble. You reap what you sow and if I had to guess soyboyluke's PayPal account is going to dry up pretty quick here.

  • frugalbc

    My hypothetical crypto app that simply allows a normie to send money to anyone else on crypto rails needs to be paypal easy. And as much as I think Pera Wallet is going in the right direction, it is not paypal easy. If a GenX person can say "here is money in my bank account, I push a button and the money goes to my friend, and then said friend has it in his bank account,' its UI is simple enough. I can tell you from experience: it is not there. It's going in that direction. And it has way better UI than most crypto wallets. But it is not there. It's the difference between using terminal and GUI in computers. When crypto hits its GUI phase, crypto will see every day usage. Solve real problems. And UI is part of that problem.

    @am_dapsy There's User Registration & Membership. The issue is these plugins link to Stripe and PayPal, my problem is I'm a commission and game artist and both professors are generally hostile to art. I want one that has the ability to bill directly, use AmazonPay, or niche processors like CCBill or epoch.

    12/ At Consensus Miami last week, Google Cloud's head of Web3 strategy said something direct: "An agent cannot get a bank account. It's not hard, it just is impossible." What’s more, a @PayPal survey found that 95% of merchants already see AI agent traffic on their sites. But only 20% have the infrastructure to handle it. Meanwhile, @McKinsey estimates that AI agents could mediate up to $5 trillion in global commerce by 2030. So, the agent economy is fast arriving. And the rails it will run on are being decided right now. But one problem that is not yet solved cleanly is Custody. → How do agents touch user funds without custody?
