@LloydsBank I don't want my sis in law in trouble you're welcome to not refund me 🙈 Or take it back and she will send me the money I'm in tears! It was only because I logged into PayPal I noticed! The transaction just said Shein so I didn't think PayPal 🙈

It isn’t ridiculously uncommon to not accept Amex. Top example from my mind is eBay. My guess for not accepting discover is the size of the user base. I have not met a single person who uses discover as his/her main card. It is weird not to offer PayPal as an alternative since I have never had the issue of a store not accepting Amex and PayPal (other than the My Nintendo Store, where I just put down a MasterCard)

@AppleSupport Please how I can chat the support!?? I have problem here!! I have $20 in my Apple Store account, and when I buy something in the game, it tells me that I must have PayPal or a credit card. The problem is that I live in Libya, and this is impossible for us.

I made a @krakenfx account years ago and promptly forgot about it after trading a few times. I went back because of the $DOG listing and I must say it's a really really good exchange now. Also their marketing is next level. Once the DE issues get fixed I will also be using @Krak to send money to Germany, something I've used PayPal for in the past (which is a horrible experience).

What is $HANA Gateway? Today the major means to trading crypto to fiat or fiat to crypto, is by p2p on CEXs like Binance, Bybit and Bitget. These CEXs most of the time have lots of problems, they require KYC, they have the ability to hold or freeze your assets for days. Which most times takes a long and stressful process to recover. But with the $HANA Gateway, you don’t have to show your ID (KYC), Pay high fees, or have issues of your money getting held or information getting accessed illegally. Hana Gateway is like your regular crypto exchange but without a middleman. It’s a peer-to-peer (P2P) tool tha lets you buy or sell crypto directly with someone else. No big exchange in the middle taking fees, no KYC, no high fees, and you always control your funds. It works by connecting two people who want to buy and sell crypto together. Let’s say David wants to sell Solana and I want to buy Solana with my dollar, i make the payment from PayPal and once David confirms it, the system uses ZK-SNARKS to prove the payment happened and then releases the solana to my wallet. You can trade crypto with full privacy now, It’s safer, cheaper, and gives you full control.

@EE I receive the message "Sending failed. Message barred." It was fine only a couple of days ago. I can't login to PayPal because I can't receive their SMS/call to verify my account anymore. The only option I have from yr website is to write you a letter.

I know many Nigerians who go to China often and do business with Chinese people. I do business myself with Chinese people all the time. I’ve never had issues with a vendor on Ali express, Ali baba or Temu. I have had MANY issues on eBay, Amazon, PayPal etc. The Chinese I deal with in Nigeria in my recycling business pay me on time and do what they say they will. Americans and Canadians have cheated me personally A LOT You should understand these things because as I gather you are in a business that’s heavy reliant on Chinese imports. I cannot speak to more than that. What I can tell you confidently is that I cannot wait to visit China and I am not worried. I am confident I will enjoy my trip and not have any problems.

@gregisenberg Sorry to resurrect a dead horse, PayPal is leagues ahead in this regard in my personal experience. We finally had to bail on Stripe when running an 8 figure business. It always felt like they were so disconnected with their clients and didn’t care to fix it.

Customers care about getting results in one place quickly, not your tech stack. Go look at Craigslist. UX isn't fancy, but it works. It delivers a result consistently and hasn't changed much in more than 10 years. Now go look at Ebay. UX is a mess. Hard to use. Didn't innovate vs FB Marketplace. Same with Paypal. Max pain to do anything. Stripe won. Make stuff easier for humans. Solve a pressing problem that causes max pain. Win.

@AskPayPal I have recently had several payments declined. I contacted PayPal but the problem continued. Despite your colleague confirming it was all OK and she made two payments using my debit card that web through with no problem.I contacted my bank and they had blocked my card for security reasons. I had not been informed. None of this is down to me and now I cannot access PayPal and my phone App is not working now.

Yes, there is a known scam on eBay where scammers list expensive items at significantly underpriced values to attract buyers, only to cancel the order after payment. Here's how it typically works and what to watch for: Underpriced Listings: Scammers post high-demand or expensive items (e.g., electronics, gaming consoles, or collectibles) at prices far below market value to lure buyers into making quick purchases without thorough scrutiny. These listings often use stolen photos or misleading descriptions. Order Cancellation: After the buyer pays, the seller cancels the order, often citing reasons like "item out of stock," "damaged item," or falsely claiming the buyer requested the cancellation. In some cases, the seller may relist the item at a higher price shortly after. Potential Motives: Data Harvesting: Some scammers use these fake listings to collect personal information, such as PayPal usernames or other payment details, which can be used for phishing or hacking attempts. Avoiding Fees: By canceling orders and claiming the buyer requested it, scammers may avoid eBay fees while keeping the payment temporarily or exploiting loopholes. Money Laundering or Fraud: Scammers may use hijacked accounts or stolen payment methods to process transactions, moving money through accounts before disappearing. Red Flags: Sellers with low or suspicious feedback, especially if their history shows sales of unrelated, low-value items before suddenly listing expensive goods. Listings with unusually long shipping times (e.g., 8 weeks) or vague descriptions. Requests to pay outside eBay’s platform (e.g., direct PayPal, wire transfers, or other non-reversible methods), which voids eBay’s Money Back Guarantee. Rapid relisting of the same item at a higher price after cancellation. How to Protect Yourself: Check Seller Feedback: Look for sellers with a solid history (e.g., feedback score of 50+ and 99% positive). Examine their recent sales for consistency—sudden shifts to high-value items are suspicious. Use eBay’s Payment System: Avoid off-platform payments like Venmo, Zelle, or direct PayPal transfers, as these aren’t covered by eBay’s Money Back Guarantee. Read Listings Carefully: Ensure the listing isn’t for a box, photo, or something other than the actual item. Report Suspicious Listings: Use eBay’s “Report Item” feature if a deal seems too good to be true. Multiple reports can prompt eBay to investigate. Act Quickly: If your order is canceled unexpectedly, contact eBay immediately to report the issue and request a refund through their Money Back Guarantee, which covers most transactions if the item isn’t delivered or as described. What to Do If Scammed: If the seller cancels and you’re refunded, you’re usually safe, but monitor your payment accounts for suspicious activity. If the seller requests off-platform payment or additional fees (e.g., for “insurance” or “shipping”), report it to eBay and your payment provider (e.g., PayPal or your bank). File a claim with eBay’s Money Back Guarantee if the item isn’t delivered or the transaction seems fraudulent. While eBay’s policies, like the Money Back Guarantee, offer some protection, scammers exploit buyers’ trust in low prices and the platform’s systems. Always exercise caution with deals that seem too good to be true, as they often are. If you’ve encountered a specific case or want advice on a particular listing, provide more details, and I can help assess it further.

PayPal got big without any ads; they just put their blue logo on every busy eBay auction super fast. A lot of new stuff spends tons of cash trying to find users who don’t even stick around. Sellers were already upset with slow checks and wasting time, so they were happy to use PayPal for free. If you give your biggest fans an easy one-click thing right where they hang out, they’ll help you grow without you lifting a finger.
