  @RealLuthen What?! Why they can’t exist? Do you even hear how crazy you sound? Burning the world down……by creating Tesla, or space X or PayPal ? Call out Soros if you want but seriously Elon?! What a joke

  @vexmlk @PayPal On god, I was *just* praising their response to Bricks & Minifigs trying to take down Reckless Ben. "Stuff it" should be the entire response to anyone trying to restrict or prohibit the buying and selling of legal goods.

  I had it since Oct last year(the ban, the account was from like 2020) and I can't even close it to try to make a new one since even most platforms will use PayPal too. And that ban thing has been a problem for artists for years. Thank God I didn't keep money in there.(2/3)

  My Money20/20 🇳🇱 Takeaways: - Stablecoins are eating the room. Tokenized cash is the first real blockchain use case - and every major payments player (Stripe, PayPal, Checkout, Visa, Mastercard, Worldline, Worldpay) knows it. - A lot of crypto startups are about to get crushed - not by competition, but by irrelevance. The payments giants are building the same features. Problem is, crypto founders are still pitching at crypto conferences while the actual deals are happening at venues like this one. The ROI gap is real. Crypto conferences are loud and busy. Money20/20 is where the business actually gets done. If you're a crypto player, you need to prove you add value to a system that already works - or get out of the way. The shine is fading. Fewer attendees than previous years, two halls closed, and nearly everyone I spoke to said it's gotten too expensive - almost $5K for a ticket is a hard sell when ROI is already under pressure.

  Why Did I Make This? (@jormilos) reported 30 minutes ago

  @vexmlk @PayPal This is like just now complaining that Patreon is shutting down creators that you enjoy. They've been doing it for years. Like, they don't allow "hypnosis" content on their platform because it's "non-consensual". Years, mind you

  @SkypeTherapist I am reading through your website. I do not have PayPal but do have VENMO. PayPal froze my account several years ago without warning and without reason and have refused to correspond with me to remedy the situation. Would this be an issue?

  Congratulations on HQ (Tate Hotel), young lads. It's beyond time to show up or shut up @Cobratate @TateTheTalisman . Infinite Money Glitch, my PayPal. In fact, pay @yacineMTB first. Otherwise, I'm going to assume you're working for the Away Team and *actually* are lying *****.

  @CashApp What does it do? I can't order one because you guys shut me down for transactions you allowed to FanDuel without giving me any warning whatsoever and you won't give me a second chance. Millions of dollars worth of transactions since 2014. You lost a huge customer to PayPal now.

  @PayPal Fix your mistake you stupid dumbass *****!!! You have no right telling people what they can & can't do when it comes to legally spending money!

  make sure you're actually allowed to use their money so you don't bring the artists you commissioned trouble. having chargebacks filed against them could make them lose their entire paypal acc if they can't pay it back. lots of artists here do comms as their main source of income

  DEUKAE VOTING TEAM ⚔️ (@deukae7voting) reported 42 minutes ago

  (Photos 1 & 2) On May 18, during Round 1, we reserved 1.8M Blue Jams from them. They asked for a 40% down payment upfront, which we sent immediately as requested. (Photos 3 & 4) However, on the final day of voting, with less than two hours remaining before the deadline, we reached out because they still hadn't delivered the votes. They then told us they were unable to vote and offered to refund our payment. However, they never returned the money, claiming they didn't have Wise and that their PayPal account was on hold.

  @TheLastDistress I agree. Holding money in PayPal is dangerous. Regardless I still have seen people say they were reporting her with the intent to shut this down. Now she has damages...

  @justwords_mo @amerix I have never used PayPal, but I'm fearful of using it for the first time to receive funds from clients I work for, as it might get suspended. This is a problem many ppl are facing; you're among the exceptions.

  🚨 NEW: US-Iranian Tech CEO Arrested For Supplying Iran's Nuclear Program Jamshid Ghomi, the CEO of a Tehran-based technology firm, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly funneling sensitive American networking and security equipment directly to Iran’s military and nuclear facilities. Prosecutors claim he operated a massive money laundering network to bypass strict US sanctions and finance a lavish California lifestyle. His company, Faraz Pardaz Rayaneh, allegedly supplied critical equipment to Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization and the Ministry of Defense over an eight-year period. Ghomi laundered more than $15 million into American bank accounts and construction escrows, falsely reporting the illicit funds as a foreign inheritance. The 63-year-old executive utilized personal eBay and PayPal accounts to make over 400 purchases of computer networking equipment, routing the shipments through intermediaries in the United Arab Emirates. Federal prosecutors are now actively attempting to seize Ghomi’s massive $35 million mansion in Newport Beach, California, which was largely funded by foreign wire transfers. This high-profile arrest exposes severe vulnerabilities in global supply chains, revealing how hostile foreign programs can acquire restricted technology through basic e-commerce workarounds. It also marks a significant escalation in the ongoing enforcement of sweeping sanctions against Iran's manufacturing and defense sectors. Are current international export controls completely broken, or will massive asset seizures like this finally deter intermediary smuggling networks? Source: Justice Department

  @Daydreameerkat @vexmlk @PayPal More and more becoming this way, yes... obviously it won't go to these extremes but. It has clearly been progressing down this path for several years. Don't think you realized, so I'll clarify. They associate anime with cartoons in their mind, and cartoons are/were for kids.

  @Polymarket and if the AI bill is finally a real problem, that money has to land somewhere. there's a shelf of profitable leaders down 80%+ that nobody will touch. paypal alone throws off 15% of its market cap in cash a year. same week broadcom lost $280B for a record quarter.

  @SiliconSalvage My only reason for using Adobe is with their discounts. Without those, I am not bothering with $60/month. For several years they've made broken products. PayPal is quickly becoming a relic in light of crypto, BNPL, but will still stick around for now. AI chats replaced pinterest

  @KrzyDays @vexmlk @PayPal Asking and mentioning because she said the issue they had was 2023 and I am only now hearing about these bans for this specific reason. I dont know what the policy was I just got here but that might be why this option wasnt one though everyone says it like its so obvious.
