  @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”.

  His Amazon account. His streaming subscriptions. His food delivery apps. Every online purchase for 8 years all tied to his debit card. His friend said: "Online retailers get breached constantly. When a website is hacked, stored payment methods are exposed. If that's a credit card, you dispute the charge and move on. If that's a debit card, your checking account is compromised." He showed him news from 2025 alone multiple major data breaches exposing millions of stored payment credentials. His friend said: "For online shopping, use a credit card. Or better use PayPal, Apple Pay, or a virtual card number so your real card number is never stored on the merchant's server." He removed his debit card from every online account that evening Amazon, Uber, DoorDash, subscriptions and replaced them with a credit card. Same purchases. Same convenience. Dramatically more protection.

  Gaffer World Cup alpha launch in review: - Over 130 managers - Two paid leagues - 2,239.15 dollars in prize pools, every cent settled on chain the moment the final whistle went. No spreadsheet. No cashapp, venmo, paypal. No one chasing anyone. The contract users signed paid the winners based on the results, with 0 mistakes or issues. August 21. We go again.

  Just a heads up, had a few messages off of people. Looks like that Matt Forth may be at it. Asking to get bets on and or PayPal loans whilst awaiting compensation. Avoid like the plague. Thought he was a sound lad who had his issues but no excuses.

  @Yeng07_ I’ve used PayPal for a while with no issues personally. I have a main personal account and a business account.

  Ant's AI Lab (@AntsAILab) reported 27 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.

  @ThompsonJo85119 @weary_centurion And I'm just giving my opinion, pointing out his arrogance. He insults NBIS retail investors for no reason just cause the stock is down (yet still up 80%+ YTD) Meanwhile he's the same guy who bought PayPal before it crashed and kept buying...he's also a "naive retail investor"

  @Varies_16 It doesn't seem the case about leaving the fandom. But at least in her Twitter mentioned she had problems with her PayPal. I don't think she's bad person but kinda poor management about contacting with her clients if she had problems 😔

  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.

  Calamarei 🩸💀 2.0 Debut SEPT 18 (@CalamareiVT) reported 46 minutes ago

  I'm not gonna lie...there is something that just doesn't seem right. Everyone is out here complaining about PayPal suspending them, banning them, etc. A lot of the time due to poor tax practices or just frustrating customer service... But no one is talking about how many Twitch streamers have lost their paychecks due to Twitch not fixing or updating the community about a hacker bypassing their OWN 2FA to change your payout details with no email (meanwhile when I change it I get an email...) And Twitch won't refund because you agree each time you use Twitch to an AS IS policy that means you are agreeing that you take responsibility and will not hold Twitch liable for failed security measures...because you are agree to their security AS IS...even if this has been happening since January to many creators... Don't worry...Twitch still gets their 50/40/30% no issue 👍🏻

  @AskPayPal Spain.I would like to confirm what I should do in this situation. If I ship the item to the address provided outside of PayPal, will I still be protected under PayPal Seller Protection? I do not want to ship the item until I know the correct procedure to avoid any problems

  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
