Silicon Valley-based publicly traded hasn't gone down much. sits around 340 now. 4 new titans that survived were Amazon, Google, Ebay and Paypal (unleashed the Elon us). oldies like Microsoft and Cisco kept the torch burning.

@MadamSavvy @krakenfx @Krak I mean, that's cool and all... but doesn't solve any problem if, for example, Steam doesn't start accepting it AND loses Visa/PayPal/Mastercard so it can go back to accepting any game that isn't illegal... which they would only do for a payment that was at least as used as those.

@kattotrappo @Avidya17 @ChibiReviews Then there’s the issue of auxiliary support. Like cloudflare will likely refuse to issue protection, as they’re not interested with decentralization. Then there’s advertisers and payment processors. Mastercard/Visa/Stripe/Paypal (cont)

@LeagueOfLegends Tired of making virtual cards everytime I want to buy RP and don't like paypal because currency exchange rate is terrible. I have not bought RP many times because I was lazy to do this. Instead, let me use just google pay which doesn't require providing my card details to you.

@Frugalszn Nah, why add to the problem with trying to find an item that’s hard to find. Only one making money is eBay and PayPal with their fee structure.

@Ask_WellsFargo You guys are having a network/backend issue with PayPal and Venmo (possibly Wells Fargo) debit card transaction processing both at ATMs and POS locations. Funds can only be accessed through a Wells Fargo ATM

Most people remember their first paycheck. I remember my first PayPal transfer. I was 13. Selling Pokémon cards and Boy Scout patches on eBay. 💥 $1,000 hit my account... and everything changed. It wasn’t just the money. It was the moment I realized: You don’t have to follow the script. Fast forward a decade… I’d followed the “safe” path: Engineering degree. NYC job. 5 a.m. train commutes. Hard hat. Clipboard. Soul screaming. In 2016, I snapped. Took a one-way flight to Vietnam. A few thousand bucks in savings. And no idea what was next, just a clear decision: I wasn’t going to wait 40 years to live. Since then, I’ve: → Built businesses from cafés in Saigon → Lived in 37 locations in 1 year → Hit 7-figures online → Shut it all down to start fresh → And today, help experts build brands that buy back their freedom That $1,000? It didn’t make me rich. It made me dangerous.

@eBay I"ve been on Ebay 24 years and for first time used the phone app for the 10$ app reward . Installed yesterday easily with no glitch but on purchase today using paypal the app reward did not show up. Instead as an extra submenu needed to be accessed. That said..It should have been an automatic . You got me this time but there won't be a next time as I'm deleting the app. Very clever trick. I noted on search I'm not the only one. Have an awesome day and others let the buyer beware.

@FungusFangs Way back Ebay (def' a leading site for shutting paypal accounts) began making the selling of imaginary friends, enchanted objects & used shoes & socks forbidden. The esoterica explanation is convoluted while shoes & socks fall under fetish. 18+ sign in but where is the tame line?

@nataninvesting $PYPL and $EBAY Ebay did well after the divorce. Paypal flew all the way to 300 but came down to its fair level. The anticipation was opposite.

Mats (@mats_cgo) reported
@dok2001 @Cloudflare Problem solved. It was a billing issue and after switching from PayPal to credit card as primary and waiting an hour or so it was possible to re-enable services.

@tails_cat36544 That's the problem. I don't trust PayPal. Even ebay dropped them, so they must have had good reason to do so, after years of using them..

@martianwyrdlord This hellscape is long in the making. Almost 10 years ago I had issues with Ebay and Paypal that made me realize even then that customer service almost did not exist and in most cases they could get away with doing almost anything to almost anyone. It is grim and getting worse.

@begraced @thejobchick During the pandemic my eBay side hustle became my full time hustle because it didn't shut down. They started randomly freezing my payouts indefinitely and no1 had answers. When I told them that I needed that money...2 not starve, their suggestion? Sign up for a PayPal credit card

@Crunchyroll or anyone else I need h e l p: I’ve been trying to renew my membership but I keep getting a "An unexpected error has occurred. Please check your details and try again” at the payment window. I’ve tried my card, I’ve tried my PayPal (1/?)
