  @AskPayPal - I am trying to send from USD to CNY and get this error: "Sorry, you can’t send or receive payments in that currency." Help pages don't have any suggestions.

  @mtngirl143 @GOP And they said the doge “kids” (all adults) and Elon musk were not to be trusted with all that sensitive information. Who’s the problem? MUSK who owned PayPal & had millions of SS#s or the crooked government

  @ValerieAnne1970 They ALL came out of DARPA. Every damn one of them. Staring with PayPal where 24 yr old Musk was inserted as CEO. He said his seed money came from a program for newspapers to track deliveries. Problem was they already had that themselves. It's all built on deception and lies and still is today.

  Why consider selling? Intense competition from Apple Pay, Block, Affirm, Klarna, Stripe & more. PayPal stock is down 18% YTD and 35% from last year. Nothing confirmed yet.

  Constructive criticism is part of building good software, especially when it’s handling people’s money.From using the new app, I’ve run into multiple issues myself:Card and PayPal withdrawals have been unreliable.Requiring an active data just to access core functionality ….

  @dimpledormlover I think there must be an error in the shop. A few days ago paypal wasn’t working and today I tried again and the shipping costs to Austria were three times higher. Instead of 80$ (a few days ago) they’re now nearly 300$ for the same 11 preorder items 🧐

  @PayPal I am told I cannot use PayPal anymore because of an activity in my account that is against the policy. But then, since I created the account I have not used it, neither have I link any card to it. So, what could be the problem and how can this be resolved? @AskPayPal

  A brand was losing subscribers it had already won. The product was fine, the payment link was wrong. Every failed-payment email pointed to the same place: update your card here. One link for everyone. But not everyone pays with a card. A PayPal customer sent to a Shopify card form cannot fix a thing. Shop Pay is a wallet, so a card update in Shopify does not touch it. Those people got emails they could not act on. The fix we gave them was not more reminders. It was routing each failure correctly. Card to the platform, PayPal into PayPal, Shop Pay to Shop Pay. On 10,000 subs at 91% success, that is 900 failures a month. Recover one point and you save 100 orders. At $50 each that is $5,000 a month. Dunning is not about more retries. It is about letting the customer who wants to pay you actually do it.

  it is extremely difficult to reverse a proven losing battle. think how pathetic Adobe and Paypal have been! they are all great companies and make great profits. but the stocks keep going down anyway. The same is happening to Netflix! In a sustained downtrend while all others are going up, there are simply less motivated buyers and just more sellers who want to cut loss or keep some hard earned profit. It is a very unfortunate death spiral unless a miracle in business occurs to reverse. I would not stay with proven losers at all, knowing that my ammo is limited and my money is more likely to make money somewhere else.

  @147Aurora @theallinpod @grok paypal selling for 53b to stripe and the boys? easy theyre probably sick of being the slow boring payments dinosaur while everyone else builds faster apps and ai stuff eats the margins so why not grab the bag and let the new owners deal with the mess. classic corporate exit before it all goes sideways.

  @LibertarianG0th Its sort of like paypal and cashapp and such. Its banking built into X. Is it good? Dunno. I have issues with tying finances to something where they can nuke my account if I'm unpopular with enough people.

  Got traffic that's ready to buy? Get out of their way. Test express checkout buttons right on the product page. We got a $12k difference here with that change. High-intent traffic isn't shopping around - they've decided. Every tap between "I want this" and "here's my card" is a tap you can lose them on. Shop Pay / PayPal / Apple Pay under the buy box 👉 straight to payment, skip the cart. PayPal especially prints here. People trust it and check out without a second thought. Don't slow down someone who's already sold.

  A guy used PayPal for 9 years. He sent money. He received money. He linked his bank account once in 2017 and never opened Settings again. His friend a former PayPal fraud analyst who spent 6 years inside the risk and security division was over for dinner when the guy mentioned he got scammed buying concert tickets online. "Did you pay with Friends and Family or Goods and Services?" "I don't know. What's the difference?" His friend put down his fork. "Pull up your account. Right now." He looked at the account for 90 seconds. "You have no two-factor authentication turned on. You have 6 preapproved automatic payments you didn't know about including one that's been charging you $2.49/month for 7 months from a service you've never heard of. Your data is being shared with third parties because a setting PayPal turned on by default is selling your shopping behavior. You've been paying a 4% currency conversion fee on every international transaction when you could've paid close to zero. And that concert ticket scam? You sent $180 as Friends and Family. You'll never get that money back." He changed 9 settings in 12 minutes. The guy said "I've had this account since college and never touched any of this." His friend said "PayPal is counting on that. The less you look, the more they make in fees, in data, and in disputes you can't win because you didn't know the rules." Here's every setting he changed 🧵

  A customer told us they couldn't pay an invoice yesterday. The account looked fine and the invoice was marked sent, so this would've been easy to chalk up to user error. Exa opened the actual customer portal. The invoice was there with Print and Download buttons… and no way to pay. Then it pulled a previous paid invoice from the same account and compared the payment options. The older one had PayPal, Stripe, and Zoho Payments attached. The new one had an empty gateway list. They never reached checkout because the invoice didn't offer one. We stopped there and routed the exact fix back for approval: attach the existing gateways and resend the corrected link. No test charge, no “try again” email, no guessing. I would've probably sent them a fresh copy of the same broken link. Seeing the portal exactly as the customer saw it changed the whole diagnosis.

  @Toast6634 Oh I had a very fast similar talk with Leaflit about this I prefer saying first that I'm against AI, because I think most people are using it so badly they're actively dumbing themselves, and now, young people coming out of high school don't even know how to write 'cause they've trusted their entire lives with ChatGPT or whatever, making them genuinely low IQ, and I say this in the nicest way possible, but they are very, very difficult to interact with. And you might think I'm only talking about text prompts, but visually creativity is a skill and a form of intelligence that is very very heavily underestimated, and that is factually helpful in real life... These young people can't even concentrate on one task for more than a minute, it's alarming But as we say, hate the game, not the player, if someone used AI as a reference and still choses to work with an artist after, I think they should be treated like any other commissioners, because they still chose to come to you ! It's always an honor when people think of me for their characters Though I do understand the fear of being scammed (I'm not sure if it's known outside, but there are a lot of scammers that ask an artist for a comm, take the sketch, don't pay (cause generally artists allow not paying until the sketch) and run it through AI to have a "better result") (there are also bot commissioners, that uses AI made characters to scam artists by executing a chargeback on PayPal) , so I understand if people don't want to go through this and refuse the commission Though I will say, as an artist, you have to stay professional if you want to make money out of it, making it public is in my opinion lacking maturity and professionalism Either way I think Pro AI people and Anti AI people should make love and bring peace to the world right now cause we have bigger issues at hand
