  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  @bran_di98 @DavidJa51216245 @OrevaZSN A lot of it is down to the processor. Your bank is only one part of the chain. Visa/Mastercard/PayPal/Square etc all form part of the transaction chain. While money moves from your available balance instantly when you process a transaction, it usually shows as "pending". 1/2

  @linuxuser1996 @flexfree27 Why its not the same? Before I deleted my account on this datacollecting App I just used browser without problems. The difference is browser is more private and more anonymity. Paypal is ****, they refused me giving a (full) data copy on DSGVO standards. Everyone should delete

  Claude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

  @CardsJakes I called both PayPal and Venmo because I noticed the recipients for opposite platform were not being found anymore. They submitted a ticket to IT because there was no know issue.

  PayPal just dropped 18% pre-market Stripe and Advent walked away from the $50B+ buyout, according to bloomberg and honestly, this hurts because a lot of PayPal’s 40% rally this quarter was driven by takeover hopes, not some massive turnaround in the business WSJ reported that PayPal thought the first offer was too low and pushed for more. they held out for a better deal and ended up with nothing. that’s the risk with saying no in M&A. now the market cap is around $52.6B, basically where the offer was. except there’s no buyer left to support that valuation. the old problems are still there too. PayPal was way ahead in digital payments, but Apple, alphabet and others have been slowly eating into that lead this isn’t really about PayPal suddenly getting worse today. it’s the market realizing the bailout deal isn’t coming.

  Apparently PayPal was having some issues so I added stripe in the meantime. PayPal should be straightened out by Tuesday as they need those test deposits to clear in my new business account. You can buy via Stripe now.

  @solari_the They say cash is king, and it does grant you more freedom than a credit card or a PayPal account. Trouble is . . . products are not always available locally to buy with cash . . and online purchasing betrays your privacy.

  @PayPal I have a problem with my account where payments I send get reversed every couple of days for absolutely zero reason. Frustrating isn’t the word. And speaking to overseas CSR is getting absolutely nowhere.

  @DwinTheStoic I have always known Uber to be a terrible seevice, terrible consumer app, terrible company. They are no different from likes of PayPal. Uber is terrible normally and I say this as someone who have patronised them in major countries.

  @Realnaz_ @JKeagz enterprise pivot to v3 and epaa membership alongside mastercard and paypal happened 24 days ago. that is real partnership traction and a product direction change toward bigger customers. but price is down 25% over 7 days and 19% over 30 days on 15m mcap. developments are not translating to buying pressure yet.

  @Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

  So you're saying this dude got 50 mil in venture capitalistism funds, and says we can't own money, the companies like cash app venmo and paypal in my point of view are scrubbing data to make customers look like they lost nothing... thats a breach of trust and is punishable and those in decision positions will be held liable. I don't want the see Xmoney go down the same path.!!

  @2wintails hi! sorry for asking directly, i'm having trouble purchasing your model. i've been taking commissions and saving money on my paypal balance, but since our currencies don't match paypal doesn't allow me to pay with my balance and is locking me into paying with credit card instead+

  @GretchenPSmith Gretchen, yeah, you do... that is how Paypal operates, same with X, FB, Insta, Visa, Mastercard, Your bank... we used to simply call them server farms. Data Centers are as necessary for the world to operate today as is oil. Get rid of them, the world STOPS DEAD
