    🚨 Scammer alert!🚨 Guy trying to sell an RGB modded Sony CRT on Discord. They got someone on my Discord server. That person was me haha. Thankfully I refused their Apple Pay and @PayPal friends and family preferred payment. If I lose this dispute I’m dropping PayPal payments from my site. Forward for awareness.

    @Mystery__Mist If you paid with PayPal, just issue a refund. Worked for me when i got ghosted like that

    Pd, go send four digits on PayPal. I know you’re trying your best to resist but you know deep down that you’re itching to give in to the temptation of sending and serving me 😌

    Since the start of this month, PayPal always conveniently glitches when I try to finish an order. I’ll be thinking the payment didn’t go through and click confirm again, only to find out later that I was double and triple charged. Then they’ll take FOREVER to fix it. @AskPayPal

    Gaffer World Cup alpha launch in review: - Over 130 managers - Two paid leagues - 2,239.15 dollars in prize pools, every cent settled on chain the moment the final whistle went. No spreadsheet. No cashapp, venmo, paypal. No one chasing anyone. The contract users signed paid the winners based on the results, with 0 mistakes or issues. August 21. We go again.

    The Tech Buzz (@tbuzzdaily) reported

    Rejected: PayPal's board just said no to a $53B buyout offer at a 28% premium Stripe and Advent International, with Block contributing part of a combined $17B in equity, offered $60.50 per share for PayPal, valuing it above $53B, a 28% premium to PayPal's July 14 closing price. Roughly $50B in bank financing backed the bid. PayPal's board rejected the offer about five days later as inadequate, reportedly holding out for closer to $70 a share, with talks said to be continuing. The structure would have kept PayPal intact, with Stripe and Advent owning it on an equal basis. PayPal's market cap had fallen to roughly $36B this year, down nearly 90% from its 2021 peak near $360B. This is a live negotiation, not a completed deal. Stripe buying PayPal would combine two of the largest payment networks in the world, but a rejected opening bid is a normal stage in a process that could take weeks to resolve, or fall apart entirely.

    Anybody here play final fantasy 14?? What region should I set my square enix account to? I have intl cards but we don't have PayPal here so I'm wondering which region would make subscription payment easier down the line

    @abalu_uthman All these bitten down stocks could pull greatest surprised, including Meta though. I learnt a big lesson from INTEL stock. When US govt put in money, it skyrocketed. Now see what PayPal is doing now with few days. Another stock I focused on now is NIKE. Watch.

    @Valenti29796400 Scam. This is a scammer. 2 different names. One the bio the scammer calls themselves Valerie and Selena. I'm reporting the PayPal name and the cashapp name and get them both shut down. Probably using fake/stolen information for both

    @UberEats @Uber_Support Your app glitched and auto-switched my store location, then your bot refused a refund when I cancelled within 1 minute. Had to resolve it through PayPal protection. Fix your automated customer support loop!

    @bendodge well that too, but the problem is they're a chinese company and i'm in nigeria. we tried exploring every payment method and it either didn't work for them or it didn't for me - the easiest option would've been crypto but it's banned in china - i have a leads account but it didn't work because they can only do SWIFT and mine only supports ACH and wire routing - literally every option didnt work and then we had to fall back to paypal (paypal itself has some restrictions in my region so i had to use a relative's account in the US) even when we got to the paypal, they said they cant make payment directly using paypal email etc and i had to create an invoice for the payment (that's how their company works) + they agreed to cover every fees from the onset

    @reksmore Without integration, it just wont be done by most people. Wont take the extra steps. I myself have been locked out of paypal for over a year over a single donation of .82 and have sent in my ID to support many many times to verify and still cannot use my account. I imagine Im not the only one having problems with paypal.

    @Supercell I need help with a Supercell Store issue. One specific COC account cannot complete any purchase (Cards, PayPal, all fail), while my other SC accounts work normally with the same payment methods. Could the Store/Payments team please review my account? Tag: #2VY9QRCJQ

    @NameCrane has gone down just as I was paying a renewal invoice. 😳 Payment (via PayPal) didn’t seemingly go through due to this, but let’s wait and see.

  • vaneshmali

    Initiated the withdraw request. BuyMeACoffee takes huge cut from this money. Platform fee: 5% Payment processing fees: typically around 2.9% + 0.30% per transaction. Fix transaction fee: $2 ( sum of fees per tips / donation received ) So, in my case $15 - $3.19 = $11.81 that's what I will get. PayPal charges little less that Buy Me a Coffee. So PayPal is best.

    @RomanEchoes @ZynxBTC It's terrible as a currency. It has high fees and too much price fluctuation. The only thing is that it's near instant and decentralized. Other than that it has no benefit over PayPal or a credit card.
