  The patch is only obtainable through a discord server that assumes you want to wrangle with paypal and a browser translator add-on. The vn is from 2008

  I complained to @PayPal - PayPal closed the case immediately saying I didn't cancel ahead of the renewal. Word of warning to everyone - @discord makes canceling automatic subscriptions incredibly difficult. I am seriously considering closing my server and building an old school BBS again.

  @AskPayPal @PayPal I need urgent help. A US-based company is trying to send me a payment, but it was blocked with Error Code 14764. My card is fully confirmed, but I am located in Algeria, which might be triggering this compliance block. I cannot DM you. Could you please help me

  @yagihitsuji00 It looks like Melonbooks actively hunt down vpn IP, and none of both other alternatives support Paypal payment option, or anything remotely accessible to no native Japanese. Would there be an opportunity to directly Paypal you or something please ? 🙏😭

  Bill Gates daughter runs a shopping app that secretly took credit for sales it never made. Here's what happened: When you buy something online after clicking a link from a website or app, that website or app gets a small cut of the sale from the store, as a thank you for sending you there. It only gets that money if it actually sent you there. Phia is a shopping app made by Phoebe Gates, daughter of Bill Gates, and her co-founder Sophia Kianni. It tells you where to find the cheapest price and best discount codes. It has 1.2 million downloads in the last year and raised $43.5 million from investors, including Kleiner Perkins, Khosla Ventures, and celebrities like Sydney Sweeney, Khloe Kardashian, and Hailey Bieber. Bloomberg tested the app along with a researcher named Ben Edelman and a rival app called Capital One Shopping. They checked more than 50 shopping websites, including #Walmart, #Nike, and #Zara. Here is what they found. When someone was about to finish buying something, Phia's app secretly opened a hidden browser tab in the background, without the person clicking anything or asking for it. That hidden tab quietly told the store "this sale came from Phia," then closed itself within seconds. Most people never saw it happen. This means Phia could take the money back reward even if a person found the item completely on their own, or even if they clicked a link from a totally different website first. In one test, someone clicked a deal link from a Wirecutter article to buy something on Nordstrom. Phia's hidden tab quietly swapped in its own code and took the reward meant for Wirecutter instead. This trick is called cookie stuffing. It is against the rules of every major store and shopping network involved, including Walmart, eBay, and a platform called Impact(.)com. Impact(.)com has already suspended Phia's account and is now checking Phia's past sales to see how many were affected. Phia says this was a mistake in their code from December, and they fixed it within a day of being told about it. This is not Phia's first problem. Back in November, researchers found an older version of the app was secretly copying entire webpages a person visited, including bank statements and private emails, and sending that data to Phia's servers. The company said it was only trying to figure out which websites were shopping sites, and it has since changed the app to stop doing that. A similar accusation happened to PayPal's Honey app in 2024, and PayPal is still dealing with a lawsuit over it today. Phia is now facing the exact same kind of accusation, in just its first year.

  @RunyaChanVT you tried to solve the issue privatly i think the next step, since you can't revoke it via Paypal, is to go public you could try again and say when thy won't answer you in x days you go public to give them one last chance to solve it without going public, but they dont deserve it

  The usual framing is "global payment giants bring stablecoin expertise to Africa." Yellow Card's own VP of operations just published the argument backwards: PayPal and Visa are the ones who'll need Africa's expertise, not the other way around. The reasoning holds up better than it sounds. Yellow Card already has live partnerships with both Visa and PayPal. The actual problem those companies are solving isn't "how do we do stablecoins," it's "how do we make settlement work for a mobile-first user in a market where connectivity and trust can't be assumed." Harder design problem than either has faced at home. worth reading with the obvious caveat: It's an executive at the company positioned to sell that exact expertise making the argument. Doesn't make the point wrong, just worth knowing whose thesis it is before repeating it.

  @HarrowKrodarius @Emanuel66201297 @PlayStation I opened a complaint with PayPal. Hopefully, they'll fix it. It's not the 9 bucks (because I kept it monthly) that bother me. It's that, neither me or my brother are using the service anymore, why should I give my money for something we don't use now? It's a matter of principle

  Ms Ziles… you are doing witchcraft on people and killing people. I have physical proof because you are messing with my x account. You have hacked into my computer, deleted things from my QuickBooks account locked my PayPal account and you’re fake sitting on your pedestal… you are a failed CEO and you should spend more time at your company than you do ******* with my account. I am not the person to play with because I tell you what my extended family just had two bouts of cancer. Another can can’t get their career off the ground. They’re constantly being drained and they’re constantly being targeted so I suggest you sit ******** down and shut ******** up and that’s final. Focus on your children, your company and your career because if you don’t, I will take all of it. I am not the person that needs to be humbled. I have laid low for 44 years. You are messing with people’s brains when you are the CEO of a company that deals with brains while running MK ultra on people… tread very carefully…

  I think people are giving Phoebe Gates far less grace than they'd give almost any other first-time founder. Remember this is the same industry which is known for these dark patterns, like honey and no one here shamed the honey founders when they did it. Only a lawsuit was filed against PayPal which is the natural progression of things. Not to mention the whistleblower here was a direct competitor, Capital One so it's actually a big company bringing down a startup. Generally in such scenarios people support the startup but here it's the reverse. Its essentially that her last name has made this a much bigger story than it would have been for most founders. If Phia had been started by two unknown twenty-somethings, the conversation would probably be about a browser extension that crossed a line. Because one of the founders is Phoebe Gates, it quickly became a debate about her character. It's also easy to forget that she didn't simply inherit a company. Bill Gates didn't fund Phia. She and Sophia Kianni raised outside capital, built a team, launched a product, and convinced people to use it. Having famous parents can open doors, but it also means every mistake gets judged more harshly and every headline carries extra weight.

  this dude commissioned me for a vid. I finished it, then he filed a PayPal chargeback just cuz I didn’t wanna remake the whole thing with a different song. I basically just lost almost €30 and now I got no clue how I’m gonna pay it back. my country doesn’t have F&F, so unfortunately ts happened. I’m gonna try sellin a few PFs to cover the loss. I’ve never had a single problem with any client before. this is honestly really unfortunate

  Yeah this IcyPryncess thing is weird. I just watched Jay3 video and listened to the memos. Why did you move the PayPal money to your bank account? That's where the whole issue begins. Forget the cash app non sense, the issue starts from PayPal

  If you are doing above 500k a month with ecom Listen I have had houndreds of DMs from ecom guys just like you They thought they will be safe on Shopify payments But they were not Still ran into reserves, holds, shutdowns, etc. The usual case: - multiple 8 figs processed with shopify - CB % below 0.3 % - Local manufacturing - As white hat as ecom can get But they still got betrayed Lost all the subscription tokens (some recovered via auth net plugin) Almost killing their whole business over some new behavioural program VISA came out with Now mastercard is doing the same Once it goes live (on 24th of July) There will likely be the same wave of shut downs as there was when VAMP came out What does it mean for you? You could have 0 chargebacks or 0 refunds (which no one at that scale has) And still get shutdown They are basically trying to shut stores down before they can do any damage Issue here? Behaviour monitoring in ecom mixes up BH and WH stores Because on the front end it all looks the same - pre chceked boxes - claims on landers - before and afters - tampered testimonials The list goes on That is why there where so many wrongful shutdowns when VAMP came out What can you do? Switch away from SP before they shut you down Move to a CRM and Private processing (MIDs) You would own your subscription tokens Have the native shopify checkout Yes you can still have apple/google pay and paypal Also if you didn't know Shop pay was opened up recently and CRMs are working on implementing it in their system Meaning? Soon you will also be able to have Shop Pay wihtout shopify payments If you want guidance on how to set this all up and get the connections that you don't have (heads of the biggest CRMs, ISOs, fintech companies, etc.) Feel free to send me a DM ps. I don't charge anything for this
