  @FeniciaDraws Ugh that sucks. PayPal is the worst. I know when I was with my last partner who did art commissions primarily for work, we constantly had issues with them. Especially when there were payments coming from other countries. Hope ya get it sorted!

  @PayPal I have a new phone number so I can’t log in to my account. I can’t chat or get any help. Seems ridiculous. How can I fix this?

  If you order Amazon and cancel an order before it ships they try to steal your money. Its happened to me twice. Both PayPal and Amazon delete the orders. I take snapshots of everything so when they try to do that it doesn't work. Amazon should be shut down. This **** is a scam site. I cant order any large items either especially if its from China they just steal it at customs. Shut the whole ******* thing down Im done fighting for me to get my money back. Thieves!

  “I made so many mistakes at the beginning of Tesla, almost every decision we made was wrong.” - Elon Musk At PayPal, whenever they had to choose between two equally appealing decisions, they just picked one and moved on instead of debating it. Most times they would choose the suboptimal version, but they moved on with speed. It is ok to make wrong decisions to start, but it is important to fix what you did wrong and adapt to reality.

  📂 NoBSFounder Case Files #025 The Feature PayPal Refused to Build In the early 2000s, PayPal had millions of users sending and receiving money online. As the company grew, customers requested more features. Loans. Investments. Insurance. Budgeting tools. Many fintech companies eventually expanded into all of them. The Decision PayPal chose a different path. It spent years focusing on one thing: Making online payments trusted, fast, and widely accepted. Instead of becoming a financial supermarket overnight, it doubled down on building trust with merchants, consumers, and developers. What Happened? That focus helped PayPal become the default online payment option for millions of businesses worldwide. By the end of 2024, PayPal had 434 million active accounts and processed $1.68 trillion in total payment volume. 🧠 NoBSFounder Lesson Every feature has an opportunity cost. When you say "yes" to one feature, you're saying "no" to improving something else. Great founders don't win because they build everything. They win because they're disciplined about what they leave out. Sources: PayPal Annual Report 2024, PayPal Investor Relations, PayPal SEC Filings.

  One thing I didn't know until recently: after selling PayPal, Elon Musk put almost all of his money into Tesla and SpaceX. At one point, he reportedly had to borrow money just to cover personal expenses while trying to keep both companies alive. That's a level of conviction most people would never take. I've been keeping an eye on the SpaceX tokenized stock on BingX, and it's interesting to see how much attention it's getting now. Whether you're bullish or skeptical, SpaceX has become one of the most talked-about companies in the market. If you had the chance, would you buy into the story or wait for the hype to cool down?

  @reallsteeldos Just saying he didn’t build it which is factual. Lol I don’t understand why ppl have problems with facts. He’s not an engineer he’s not a genius. He’s a businessman man who hires smart ppl. Credit for that ok. But even PayPal was funded with daddy’s blood mine money.

  I was someone who wasn't able to buy a stream ticket and watch Dokibird's Birthday concert. I just wanted to send this to apologize if I bothered Dokibird or anyone else with all the replies and maybe some of my posts I made explaining that. Let me just say I'm really sorry if I did. And I never meant to bother Doki or anyone else. I was just really eager to see this one thing of my Oshi AmaLee/@LeeandLie going 3D and was really frustrated seeing how my U.S. debit card, the PayPal, and everything else I tried on the site SPWN didn't work. And after it didn't work, I ended up getting in trouble for it because I still got the charge from my bank which my parents showed me which put me in a slightly worse situation. Also, there was this watch-along thing this guy made of the Doki concert but sadly, it was nothing a dupe which also really sucked. When I made all those comments and replies talking about it, it was all I was able to do here on Twitter/X just like some others would usually do. I really hope I see somethings from AmaLee's 3D debut and if I don't or it doesn't show up until Christmas or the New Year, I'll do my best just to live with that and move on. But again, I am really Sorry to Doki and everyone else if I bothered them with all I posted and commented in regard to not being able to watch the concert. I don't expect to be forgiven but, I just want everyone to know that I have this sincere apology for whatever it is I did wrong with all of again, the replies and posts. 😔🙏 #DokiRewindTime #Dokibird #DokiBirthday2026

  @xbloomii Not sure if this will help, but sometimes with PayPal they hold your money until you link an actual bank account to your PayPal account. That seemed to fix it for me.

  You can guess what students did on that final Tuesday. Fast forward to the end of the semester: I still hadn't seen any documentation or user manual, and it was due on exam day (the first day of finals week). A week before the deadline, they told me I'd have it before our 12 PM meeting on study day (Wednesday). I got the email at 11 PM Tuesday after work. I opened the files, got pissed, shut my laptop, played some Xbox, and passed out before midnight. The technical documentation was just one page with almost nothing useful—no database schema, website languages, PayPal details, or registered emails. Just the URL and some unimportant info taking up half a page. The user manual was one and a half pages with maybe five sentences and three pictures with arrows. Zero real explanation on how to use the site.I showed up at 12 PM and waited about five minutes. No one else was there, so I texted the group. No replies. I started fixing the user manual since I'd clearly have to redo it. While working quietly, Damien finally walked in. D: "Did you get the docs?" Me: "Yeah. You guys really think this is finished?" D: "Oh yeah, it should be good to turn in." Me: "I don't know. I think we should add more—this is for our client, and she won't understand it. Where are Jeff and Kirk?" D: "Hahaha, we all got messed up last night after finishing the docs. They're probably still passed out. I'm turning it in tomorrow. If you want to add anything, go ahead, but whatever I have is going in. I think it's ready, so I'm not doing more. I have other classes to study for. I already have an A in this class, and Kirk and Jeff do too, so they don't care."He said the magic words, then left with a flash drive. I went straight upstairs and told Professor Matt everything. I said I didn't want to leave my client hanging—yes, my client, not ours. Matt said he fully understood and even praised me for staying on top of it and protecting the client's experience with our students. He asked why. I told him, "What you're getting tomorrow for 'our' project is completely unacceptable. It's unfair to us and especially to our client." I showed him the website (which he liked) and the terrible docs. I asked for an extra week to finish proper documentation and a user guide—I had a clear plan. Matt agreed, but told me to forget the docs since I knew the site. Just focus on the client .So I created video tutorials with narration, drove to her shop to demonstrate everything and show her where the videos were. I even built a simple desktop program with buttons that opened the exact video she needed, so she wouldn't have to hunt through folders. I gave her my contact info and said I'd be around over the summer if she needed help with the site or anything else. Afterward, I updated Matt, who had his own update. He nearly failed the rest of the group because they slid an unmarked USB under his door. He only accepted it after they emailed to confirm he got it. Matt also called the client, who confirmed I was the only one who ever showed up to meetings. As a result, anyone in my group who had an A going into the project dropped to a C. Anyone with a B failed. Damien's GPA took a hit from this four-hour class. Kirk and Jeff both failed—Jeff couldn't graduate, and Kirk had to retake it next semester. My grade, which was an 84 before the project, jumped to an A. The next year, Damien asked how I did because he was confused about his own final grade. I just said I did fine and got an A. He still has no idea why. Don't mess with me and my grades, and I won't mess with you.

  If something major happens for me I won't turn it down. I promise I'll come back back to the city of San Francisco though. I did some work for a place called tactic and they're hiring at night so I sent him a quick application I saw I on indeed. They pay you that day with PayPal. I'm having lunch. A cool time at the AI Engineers World Fair. A drop in my air head bucket. I kept wondering why the band wasn't playing. I said come on I even yelled free bird at them. And I found out it was an open mic type thing. Goofasauras comes to Moscone West. I did give somebody a peace sign behind my back this morning too!

  @PorraDeene @TheCryptoSquire The issue isn't adoption friction—it's that most merchants prefer instant settlement over volatility hedging. Stablecoins solve this but then you're just using faster PayPal.

  Stop waiting for the perfect idea. Start, test, fail, listen, and pivot. Trial and error has built empires. Instagram started as a check-in app. Slack started as a video game. Shopify started as a snowboard store. Amazon started as an online bookstore. YouTube started as a video dating concept. Flickr started as an online game. Groupon started as a collective-action platform. PayPal started with PalmPilot payments. Twitch started as a lifecasting site. Nintendo started with playing cards. Nokia started as a paper mill. Avon started with books + perfume samples. Netflix started with DVDs by mail. Your first idea is rarely the final idea. Trial and error isn’t a backup plan. It’s the path.
