  i hope the customer she threatened via email to "drop the case with paypal" also comes up. And all the customers she left without updates or product for months after taking their money. Or all the customers from her candle business "shutting down" when she refused refunds&told

  @thetrainline is the payment system down? I’ve been trying to book and I’ve tried Visa, Amex, PayPal, and Apple Pay. Any idea on when this’ll be resolved?

  @gomipomi I’ve heard about that. I think it has to do with artists who make NSFW comms and PayPal attempting to crack down on it.

  @ilbomberazzurro @UberEats @ubereats_uk I’ve just had this same exact issue as you. I’ve filed a dispute through PayPal and cancelled my uber one account. I’ve never known such awful customer service. Being looped round in a chat with an AI bot. Shocking when my issue involves their driver potentially stealing my order

  @xo_ollievurr don't do PayPal. Especially if you do NSFW comms bc they shut that **** down like Negan. Ask Reddit if nothing else

  The most humiliating chart in tech just became a private equity target. Retail is cheering a 28 percent premium on $PYPL like its a massive win. They are completely misreading who actually takes the prize here. Look at the slow bleed on the chart before this sudden jump. PayPal was valued at $360 billion back in the 2021 frenzy. Now Stripe and Advent are rolling up with $50 billion in bank financing to buy the entire float for $60.50 a share. The retail crowd is praying this sparks a bidding war. The truth is far funnier. Silicon Valley is buying its own garbage at a discount. A private upstart is swallowing a former giant to control a machine that processes $3.7 trillion in annual payment volume. If you held this all the way down, the market is finally putting you out of your misery. Youre getting forcefully cashed out near the lows.

  — more money ≠ more detail necessarily. m drawin whatever I think is fun — via PayPal + pay before start — ZERO revisions except to correct errors — <1 month turnaround depending on irl stuff ✅ ID + EGO ✅ OC X CANON ❌ if i don’t think i can draw your oc i will turn down

  US indices all closed green last night, but same as ever, the calm tape hid a split market. the hottest name was PayPal: a reported ~$53B takeover bid from Stripe + Advent ($60.50/share) sent it +17% on record volume. the twist everyone's pointing at: "the real prize is Venmo." the coldest corner was AI hardware. Dell led down -9.8% (touched -14% intraday), and SanDisk, Micron, HPE, Supermicro and AAOI (-13%) all got dumped with it. but the selling stayed concentrated in high-beta AI hardware, and mega-caps like Apple and Google masked it, so the Nasdaq still closed green. and the extreme end: Lucid ripped +29% after denying a report it was weighing going private or Chapter 11. Hong Kong ran hot too, Hang Seng +1.4%, Tencent +3.9%, Meituan +5.3%. bottom line: the index looks calm, but underneath the money's swapping seats fast, some chasing buyout targets, some fleeing AI hardware, some betting on a distressed bounce.

  PayPal customer services doesn’t work. The AI lies by pretending things exist that don’t and you cannot get through to a human. Does anyone know how you can resolve a problem. @PayPal

  HALF PRICE BROOKLYN N5 TICKET🚨 (originally bought on resale) I’m still trying to sell this ticket and I’m dropping it down to half the price i bought it for! Down from $1095 to $550 + paypal g&s plus rate conversion fee (to australian dollars). You would have to meet me at Barclays so I can let you into the venue because my australian TM account is having issues transferring tickets. I think this would be a good opportunity to meet people as I’m not from here either! Please only reach out if you are fully aware of the seat location and price and process. I’m not dropping down any further x.

  @gomipomi I use cashapp and PayPal mainly. So far I haven’t had issues with PayPal but you gotta be careful on what they add to the note. I hear Wise is good ngl, and there are no fees to send to your bank (I think)

  @unnuovoinizio1 I am interested in the two magnets featuring your Fella dog and the alcohol. However, I encounter an error when trying to send payment via PayPal from Japan to an overseas location. This appears to be an issue originating in Japan.

  Calamarei 🩸💀 2.0 Coming Soon 2026 (@CalamareiVT) reported 60 minutes ago

  My Twitch account was hacked. I don't know how. I don't know how it is possible payment information was changed after 4-5 years of the same payment information. No confirmation email from Twitch about payout method being changed. For the past 5 years as a creator on Twitch I have always received my payouts early. I recently changed my password on Twitch as well via the correct links sent by Twitch staff themselves (yes I know it was authentic as it was about getting a refund and I did receive the refund). I log in today to make sure there is not some sort of issue with the account, payment information needing to be reverified, a tax form, or something else holding up this months payment. I go to review my payment information, which requires 2 factor authentication btw, and the information looks fine until page 2 out of 3. My payout method had been changed to Paypal and an unknown email (10000% do not know or even heard of this email) for the paypal account. I changed the payout immediately. I reset all my connections with Twitch. I also checked my Twitch email. It was my email. My account email still tied to my account. Yet, no emails confirming payout changes, no alerts, nothing. I do not know how I got hacked. I don't know if it was third party. I have been in the IT field for years and consistently am looking out for phishing and scams. However this did happen and I now have a missing $900 and negative funds in my bank. I already reported this to Twitch and am working on reporting the account to PayPal as I type this. But I really 100% believe there needs to be email notifications sent out for any financial information changed on all platforms. I am still appalled that a system like that is not in place for a website associated with Amazon and functions as an employer to pay so many people on the platform. Where are the security protocols? Or just some IT 101 practices from companies. There is no excuse in 2026 to not have confirmation/authorization/notification emails for payout or financial details being changed. Stay safe.
