  I know it's not good to have a certain price range, but it's an emergency. I really don't want any trouble, just a little help with limited slots (5). 😭 I have Ko-fi n PayPal for international. National (Méx) will be bank transfer or OXXO.

  @JayBobSons Also, PayPal can and has spotted people with patterns of using the F&F route on purchases and shut down accounts. I know it doesn't happen all the time, but they periodically go on a spree of IDing those accounts

  2. One big question when creating a PayPal shipping label is when it asks for the HS tax ID Not only must you figure out wtf that is, you must also figure out which type of tax it is from a drop down menu of unfamiliar acronyms (one of them is SSN) As in you, the non-American international online seller All before PayPal will give you a quote for shipping to that address

  Elon Musk said 2008 was definitively the worst year of his life going through a divorce while simultaneously watching his companies crumble. By 37, Musk had burned through his entire PayPal fortune funding two companies at once. Tesla's early Roadster had quality problems and was hemorrhaging cash. SpaceX had failed three consecutive launches. What was supposed to happen: build rockets, change space, build electric cars, and change the automobile industry. What actually happened: three explosions and an empty bank account. In Musk's framing: "We were running on fumes at that point. We had virtually no money. A fourth failure would have been absolutely game over." Flight 4 launched September 28, 2008. It was flawless. Musk on what happened next: "NASA called and told us that we'd won a $1.5 billion contract. I couldn't even hold the phone. I just blurted out, I love you guys." Two days later, on Christmas Eve, Tesla's investors closed their round. "So you were saved in a period of three days by two completely unexpected events. Yeah. Merry Christmas. Yeah, absolutely." PS.

  @robpizzola I got a new phone and had to re-login to PayPal. I verified the email, and phone number but they wouldn’t allow me to get back into my account until I verified a credit card number that I haven’t had in years and no longer know. I guess I’m done with PayPal

  Thank you so much for this. The next step could be to first fix the money logistics. To convince global payment systems to accept Interoperability for smooth money transfer. If wallets can link to @stripe and @PayPal etc. That would be cool!

  So PayPal invoices all of my customers this morning and then shuts down my account from the ability to receive funds until I upload ANOTHER COPY OF MY ID. I hate banks.

  @JustEatIE Reported a non-delivery to Just Eat. Support ignored repeated requests for proof of delivery and sent only template responses about a 48-hour rule, with no investigation into the issue. No evidence was provided. I had to escalate to PayPal, which refunded me.

  This morning I asked PayPal to finally lift a 10% rolling reserve after 8 months of clean $100k+/mo in volume Few hours later… BOOM, full account limitation 😭 They wanted 6 months bank statements (easy, high 6figs on statements) Then we got hit with “Resolve an issue on a linked account” Didn’t know I had this old account… Turns out it’s from when I was still a minor Either I left a negative$1,600 balance unpaid or it got hacked (Both are 100% believable based off this email being hacked 6 years ago and me being extremely degenerate back then ) So I call the “PayPal internal collections team” to pay it off… Debt was sold 6 years ago they literally can’t credit it and I cannot pay off the balance Plus they don’t know the collection agency it was sold to 🙃 Basically when I requested the reserve release, their RETARDD automation tagged me and the main account as “fraudulent” Old acc is still permalocked No one (not even managers in collections, limitations, or exec support) knows how to fix it so they just emailed limitations team saying like this isn’t possible One thing I will say tho is I usually have a terrible ******* time calling these ******* fintech support lines, but this was quite enjoyable for reasons I cannot explain There was only one absolute retard that I had to hang up on I guess based off of my lifetime volume on Braintree and PayPal, this main account is also tagged as a “high value large enterprise client” So we have a dedicated rep at PayPal now (who hasn’t reached out yet) Literally went from a “fraud” to a “high value client” in 30mins PayPal honestly has great support, WAYYY better than Amex and those ******* pajeets over there Even the miserable ones were fun to talk to But… I do think this means that I need to get outside more - having fun talking to PayPal reps and all Kinda pathetic Issue still not guaranteed to be fixed, but I think it should be fine considering none of the reps had ever seen this before and added a bunch of notes to my case which was confirmed when I called back the limitations department So I still have time to change my mind on how I feel about PayPal support, but so far thumbs up 👍
