Rogue Hillbilly (@From_The_Hills_) reported@codeofvets @PayPal PayPal is straight trash. I had an account for years with no issues, then about 5 years ago they suspended my account and said they needed access to my email and social media accounts to continue. I told em to eat a bag of *****.

PeterPayFi (@PeterPayFi) reportedShe wasn't alone. Across Southeast Asia we kept meeting the same person — different country, different job, same problem. A nurse in Manila sending money home to her family. A developer in Ho Chi Minh City waiting on a US client payment. A freelancer in Bangkok juggling Wise, PayPal, and a local bank just to get paid. All of them losing time. All of them losing money. Every single month.

Your Highness (@QueenLiaRegina) reportedIt’s interesting that fintech didn’t start out tight at women receiving money for nothing and calling it **********. Some of the established women still have no issue using Paypal or Stripe… but 0th3r$

Safety Second! 🏋️ (@1HeavySigh) reportedPayPal: We recognize you on this device. PP (seconds later): fill in the secret code we will text you. Also PP (seconds after): please check your email for a secret code. You didn’t really recognize me then, did you, PP? It’s okay, I get it. I’m terrible with names, too.

Triggery (@Triggery556) reported@PayPal this is absolutely horrific. Fix it, NOW.

David Dawson (@TinyTalesX) reported@What_is_Praise @catturd2 It’s a terrible process. After I complained enough I got a letter from PayPal basically telling me to sue the buyer if I felt cheated.

DamnedDogsFella (@H_LIPPOLDparody) reportedWrite the shelter or rescue a check, or use PayPal, etc. That way there's not a storage or expiration issue, and you've got your tax deduction. Benefit animals two ways!

Aysha's Arts (@ayshas_arts) reported@ZandoraVT This is a paypal issue

Bean 🌱❤️🐰 (@humanbean808) reported@deobimom They added Google Pay (I think since PayPal was NOT working) and it works, but also if you have a Wise account you can do the bank transfer option and it works.
-
3ll3_Wood5 (@simbaha18) reported@ImBreckWorsham So true but I can one up you. I was trying to get a refund for a warranty issue on a keyboard I got my son. The only way they will send the refund is through PayPal. It’s like they are trapped in 2000 and can’t let it go.

Peinlicher Pimmelprimat Jonas Thunecke 🐵🐒😵💫🤪 (@beastiebearpig) reported@klose_alfred @tc_xcx @tc_xcx do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he told me he'd spoil me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

Brian Rose, Founder & Host of London Real (@LondonRealTV) reportedCONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

Jean-Philippe Lebœuf (@jpleboeuf) reportedTried moving money out of PayPal Business. Even Gemini 3.5 Flash Extended couldn’t explain it after a long back-and-forth, even with full access to PayPal docs and Reddit. PayPal, your documentation and UX are broken: if an LLM cannot get it, regular users have zero chance.

Judy 🇺🇸👮🏻🐗 (@AFJudy70) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @stripe PayPal didn’t have a problem getting their share of veterans donations. Shameful.

Young Alpha (@youngalpha_23) reportedBC & Montreal QC. But the second the sun goes down, this desperate British Columbian white ***** drops the professional act, strokes his worthless caged **** like a brainless goon, and begs to have his PayPal completely drained dry by a Superior. He lives for getting locked out,
