  Erghhh so slow processing. It’s been more than 3h. I hate that I can’t buy eshop credit using paypal anymore just bc it’s not supported here like 🖕 It worked just fine years ago. Can’t even purchase using debit card. One of the downside of buying Switch games.

  After PayPal, Elon Musk could have started another internet company. He says it would have been easy. The internet already had plenty of talented founders and plenty of capital. In his view, one more internet company would not make him especially useful. So he moved toward the two problems he thought could have a bigger effect on the world: sustainable energy and space exploration. It is a brutal filter for choosing what to work on. Forget which market looks easiest. Ask where your effort could make a difference that would otherwise be missing.

  For founders doing $5m+/yr in revenue, you need to be sitting on $1m+ in credit lines minimum (if u want to get to the next level). Story - Just had a call with yet another NL 🇳🇱 chad ecom founder doing $25m/year, actively selling off dropshipping stores to go hard on branded ecom. Living a global life traveling 60 to 90 days a year. Smart operator. But his current setup is not optimal. He's been running everything through a Dutch entity and Dutch credit cards. Has the tools ready for a US switch - like an approved ITIN sitting there doing nothing. Zero access to US credit lines, inventory financing, and travel infrastructure that could completely transform how he scales and lives. Here's how we're fixing it: The first move is structural. We're transitioning all revenue, Shopify payments, and PayPal from the Dutch entity into the US LLC. That single shift unlocks the entire US banking and credit ecosystem he's been locked out of. Before anything else though, he needs a US residential mail-forwarding address locked in, because that's the foundation everything else sits on. From there, the credit build kicks off immediately. 🔥 He already holds a Dutch Amex in good standing. Through the Amex Global Transfer program, he can leverage that existing relationship to get approved for a US Amex card without waiting 9 to 12 months to build history from scratch. No US residency required, just a US postal address for delivery. This bypasses the biggest bottleneck most foreign founders hit. 🔥 Next, we start building his ITIN credit profile properly. Entry level cards that accept ITINs (Capital One, Chase Freedom Rise once his Chase checking is active), low utilization, on-time payments across multiple accounts, a credit builder installment loan to mix it up. After 6 to 12 months of solid profile maturity, the heavy hitters open up: Chase Ink, Capital One Spark, eventually full business lines underwritten against his revenue. We're talking $1M to $5M in inventory financing to fuel the branded ecom dreams he's chasing. That's not theoretical. That's what Chase can extend to a business doing his numbers once the credit infrastructure actually exists. 🔥 Then there's the travel side. For 60 to 90 travel days a year across luxury properties, burning cash on full-rate stays is just idiotic. We're getting him into the Hotel Purveyor program. The fee to access that doubles as a creditable escrow, meaning it counts as a down payment toward a future investment. In return, he gets access to PHANTOM RATES at Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, W and comparable properties - 80% to 90% off standard market value. No points games. That's paying $100 to $200 a night where others pay $900 to $1,500. For a guy traveling nearly three months a year, the math on that alone is absurd. 🔥 And when he's ready + we have a new hotel acquisition lined up, there's the fractional hotel investment option through the program. Historically 25% annual returns to boost his wealth generation while he enjoys major travel savings. We're holding off on the complex global tax structuring for now. Get the foundation right first. US entity active, US credit profile building, Amex Global Transfer executed. That's the 60 to 90 day sprint before anything more sophisticated gets layered in. But you best believe he will be rocking 0% tax soon (legally). The current setup is a 2% cash back ceiling on a business doing $25M+ a year. The fact that he got to that level w/o credit lines is astonishing. But with US credit infrastructure and proper financing in place, his biz will scale effortlessly.

  Ant's AI Lab (@AntsAILab) reported 13 minutes ago

  @carlocapocasa @Kimi_Moonshot My issue with them was the way they do business. Look at the difference in how they handled their model rollout versus Kimi. Kimi stopped taking subscriptions so they could service their existing customers first and foremost. Meanwhile, Z AI jacked up prices on all their coding plans and kept taking in more subs while they had an active caching issue on the backend that was causing exorbitant usage well beyond what it should have been. At one point on their "20X" plan, I was getting less usage than I would have on Codex's "5X" plan. People were in chat every day talking about the issue, and the response from staff was insane—they'd acknowledge the issue one hour, then a completely different person would come in and say no refunds were being issued, all while Z AI staff were in the same chat promising refunds. I've never seen such disorganization in my life. I will never give that company another dollar. I ultimately disputed through PayPal and won when Z didn't even bother to respond.

  @Moty_201 @Twitch Yes! They told me they could not refund the payout nor and the only advice they had is contact Paypal if I was having issues with my Paypal account. I told them…you do realize it is NOT my paypal and it was some hacker who got past your 2FA who changed it? Their response was “we are investigating”.

  Since the start of this month, PayPal always conveniently glitches when I try to finish an order. I’ll be thinking the payment didn’t go through and click confirm again, only to find out later that I was double and triple charged. Then they’ll take FOREVER to fix it. @AskPayPal

  @iriolsw7 It's okayy, they DM-ed me too and it's legit. The admin at that time gave me a different paypal account-one that didn't belong to the ex head admin, so I think the other admin already took action sometime ago to minimize the issue

  I think going forward i think i won't use paypal when commissioning or receiving commissions. Seeing paypal just perma banning peoples accounts(this includes my roommates account) left, right and center i think it's best for me to not use it or have it used for commissions. is paypal being shady? how terrible.
