  2. Paid ¥50.000 (my salary) with Paypal, but cut by service fee so my salary is not received fully yet. She agreed to pay the rest. The next day, claimed Paypal or her card has error and cannot be used to send money anymore. Spendings in Bali was promised to be reimbursed too.

  Uber monetizes a slice. Amazon monetizes a slice. PayPal monetizes a slice. Nothing monetizes the slice that powers all of them: your time. Built 1145 Lifestyle to fix that. A super-app where hours show up as a balance. The full version is coming.

  @Emistations @PayPal @AskPayPal I remember facing this same problem, all because someone put a message in the transaction (Yeah. Any message they put there just straight up screws your acc). I ended up having to switch to a new email and a Paypal Business acc.

  𝗘𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗸 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗰𝘆. 𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗚𝗠 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱. By the end of 2008, Tesla had roughly $9M left in the bank. SpaceX had just survived its third consecutive rocket failure in a row. Musk had already put over $100M of his PayPal money into both companies, and was personally so cash-poor he was borrowing money from friends to cover rent. “I remember waking up the Sunday before Christmas in 2008, and thinking to myself, man, I never thought I was someone who could ever be capable of a nervous breakdown. I felt this is the closest I’ve ever come, because it seemed pretty dark.” A last-minute financing round, pulled together by existing investors, closed at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, 2008. “That funding round completed 6pm on Christmas Eve in 2008. Last hour of last day possible, as investors were leaving town that night and we were 3 days away from bankruptcy.” Days earlier, on December 23, NASA had awarded SpaceX a $1.6B cargo resupply contract, its first major win after three straight Falcon 1 failures. The Department of Energy’s ATVM program, created that same year to fund fuel-efficient vehicle development, eventually gave Tesla access to a loan facility as well, money the company only drew down starting in 2010, once it was reimbursing actual invoices rather than surviving on the promise of it. Six months later, in June 2009, General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, needing a federal bailout to survive. Musk has called 2008 the worst year of his life. He was also getting divorced at the same time. Tesla didn’t file. It went public a year later.

  @RepJayapal There shouldn’t be anybody named Jamala Paypal on an American Judiciary Committee. Any other problems at hand exist downstream of this and are inherently caused by this.

  @AmorphousMajik PayPal trouble right as commissions reopen is rough. Is the issue an account limit, a payout hold, or needing a backup checkout method? Happy to share alternatives.

  Most people would have taken the money and slowed down. Musk did the opposite. He put around $12 million into his next company, X. com, an online financial services business. X. com eventually merged with Confinity, which had created PayPal. In 2002, eBay bought PayPal for $1.5 billion in stock. Musk’s share was roughly $175 million. Instead of retiring, he put much of his money into three extremely risky ideas: SpaceX, Tesla and SolarCity.

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  $PYPL Take away the stripping and don’t sell PayPal! What exactly is Stripe? You can buy PayPal for $150 and still earn interest even at $180. It’s a shame so many shareholders on this board are incredibly foolish. PayPal is bigger than we’re told and Stripe needs PayPal because its valuation is terrible fake!

  @TheeDegenBoosts @rebetapp That’s why I NEVER leave my money anywhere where it isn’t insured by the FDIC/SIPC. Not PayPal, Venmo, or a gambling site. Youre just asking for trouble. Sucks how these companies operate

  @BoomerDivvies BTC now has a PayPal problem. Perception on BTC has shifted- and enough people have lost money on it that the number of buyers has slowed.
