POV: you're being mogged by a hipster millennial a (@ViolencePsalms) reportedI've had lots of problems with Paypal, and every time I tried to resolve it, I got a "Prashant" or "Dharaben", very frustrating.

alex (@Tamayo98_) reported@FikhaiSports I don't know, I think it was a Ko-fi error; I already requested a refund from PayPal. I don't want the membership anymore—I bought the face via Buy Me a Coffee.

Caleb Onyeabor (@mrcalebonyeabor) reportedYou made a lot of money instead of using the money to solve the problems of the people, you sent it to another group of people and asked us to go and meet them. Now when we asked you for your score card, you are sending us to them. Did we elect you to send money? Eh PayPal?

Paulina ✿ VGEN (@eggeiro) reported@gy_sup Maybe it's because it's past the 180 days PayPal gives to issue a dispute? Otherwise I have no idea why Vgen would refuse to refund them ://

TYLER🇲🇼🇬🇧 (@amthatguytyler) reportedSo apparently late last night. Well actually like 2 something this morning. Someone hacked into my SHEIN account. I thought it was of those scam emails trying to get you to click on the link but it was real. There really is two orders on my SHEIN account. One cancelled for another watch. So technically 3. Thankfully I have never saved my payment methods. I only used PayPal and those payment methods aren't saved unless I login with my phone or code. None of the saved VISAS are mine. I don't know whose cards they are. Hopefully SHEIN can get this taken care of asap. The orders were packed so apparently they can't like cancel it. I do not know at all the address it's shipping. Info says my address on invoice as billing address, but with that Pretoria shipping address. When I googled the shipping address that is now default on my account it says it's a logistics business that's closed apparently. Someone's cards are being used. I don't see the cards being the hackers. Why login to my account to place your orders with your own card. This is definitely identity theft/fraud going on here. Hopefully those poor people notice the charge on their account and have contacted their bank. Hoping SHEIN really escalates this issue asap, I don't want this to keep happening. At this point i dont know if I should delete my SHEIN account now or wait till SHEIN does their thing. I'm definitely never ordering from SHEIN again after this.💔🙌

Jort van Meeteren (@jortvanmeeteren) reported@HeadspaceHelp Hi! I read that you’re having problems with Paypal in the EU at the moment, but I don’t have Visa, Mastercard or any of the other payment options. Are you planning to add iDeal/Wero or will I have to wait until the Paypal issue is resolved to be able to renew?

Allan Robinson (@_ARob) reportedThe double-spend example for money: If I email you a photo, I still have a copy. That’s fine for photos, terrible for money. If I send you $10 digitally and still hold a copy of that $10, I can spend it again with someone else. Traditional fix: A bank sits in the middle. It keeps the master ledger, deducts $10 from me, adds $10 to you. You trust the bank, not me. Bitcoin’s fix: Every transaction is broadcast to thousands of computers, verified, and written into a shared public ledger that everyone holds a copy of. Rewriting it would cost more in electricity than you’d gain, so lying isn’t worth it. Real-world example: Alice sends Bob 1 BTC. The transaction goes out to the whole network, gets confirmed into the blockchain, and now every participant agrees Bob owns it and Alice doesn’t. Alice can’t send that same coin to Carol — the ledger already says otherwise. No bank, no PayPal, no Cash App, no Venmo, one to ask permission from. Bitcoin is money.

PaulsCorner-VerseQuest (@TNTJohn1717) reported@ziz318 Amen!! My developer is now looking into the PayPal error.
-
Brian (@brian3609) reported@Joh08n @PaulGoldEagle Jah, calm down brother. This isn’t the CBDC. This is a distributed digital currency that won’t be controlled against us. It’s coming. Actually, digital currency is already here via cc, ach, PayPal, Venmo, etc. This move will free us from the Fed Reserve controlling the fiat currency

laki_laki (@p_e_t_e_r_4_8) reported@Safaricom_Care please check dm, I have issues with PayPal to mpesa. My PayPal statement shows that money has been disbursed to safaricom but in the one app it is pending, almost a month now.

Ownership (@ownershipfm) reportedEpicentral founder Tony on the roadmap to mainnet, and what has to happen first "I anticipate we'll go live on mainnet this year for sure. I couldn't tell you a specific time frame, but more than a couple of months out from now" "We need legal clarity and we need proper audits, and we can't do that unless we have money. That's the ultimate truth. We can't have this exist on Solana until we have those checks, because we're building a non custodial platform. We want to make sure all the audits are in check, the program is working fine, there's no back door" "On legal clarity, we're already seeing it with the CFTC and the SEC and the crypto roundtables they host, their leniency and open mindedness to innovative financial technology. If I had the opportunity to sit down with them today I'd say, how do we do this with your support, because it needs to exist" "We're already seeing Visa, PayPal and Western Union use Solana's architecture to settle payments. The same thing is going to happen with derivatives. On devnet we already have 120 users as of today, 2 million in options volume across 500 different trades. It's private access right now, but it'll go public beta within the next month or so" FT @TheLazySol @epicentral_ @8bitpenis

Mr.Something (@TheMrSomething) reportedComms are still closed, but since the client had a slot before I had issues with Paypal, I decided to take and finish the comm. I hate making people wait.
-
Jakob Kilbertus (@JakobKilbertus) reported@zachmoskow @stripe Our only option was to use Stripe radar and its far from being fully effective IMO. I remember reading Thiel‘s book on the early PayPal days and how they tackled payment fraud in the 2000s. You would think that this is a solved problem…

dani ★ comms open (@daniesstarr) reportedmy PayPal account got closed down for trying to verify my identity . what does one do now

🩶 (@euini_) reported@PayPal @AskPayPal #paypal You waited until I started making more than like, twenty dollars at a time, until I received my FIRST larger commission amount, to randomly ban my account. That is incredibly predatory. 😒 I have given you every single piece of information that you’ve asked me for. I’ve given you proof of commission requests/work, my LLC/business license, my ID, my bank statements, everything, and you’ve been flagrantly ignoring me since then. I’ve reached out for an appeal and had to learn from a chat room representative that you’ve denied it. You’ve took money that I need for groceries and bills and placed it on a SIX MONTH hold over your assumption that, because I sell digital products, I’m scamming someone??? Fix the AI that bans the accounts and make this place better for independent artists please. I draw for people! I make money from that! It may not be a lot to you, but this money gives me a week of groceries to feed my entire family. At least give me the funds I deserve, for the work I’ve done.

Polsia (@polsia) reportedFive payment platforms. One freelancer. A morning wasted on reconciling instead of working. Built Marginwell to fix that — pulls Stripe, PayPal, Wise, and bank feeds, posts a clean ledger overnight, and emails a one-page P&L with cash forecast before 7am. Live soon.
