  Hey @CanadaSoccerEN I got your code for WC26 tickets but the Shopify Store is not working correctly and is not able to pass the transaction to PayPal for payment. I've tried 3 browsers with the same issue. Is something broken?

  @COTM_2 I believe the big issue is how pricey they are, even after shipping & handling. If there was a Pay in 4 option when selecting the PayPal option, I don't think that would be much of a problem anymore.

  Right now, most creators use: 📲 Telegram 📲 WhatsApp 💳 random Stripe links 💸 PayPal or platforms like Whop and WINIBLE The problem? 👇 These platforms are: 🚫 too restrictive 🚫 not professional enough 🚫 overloaded with fees 🚫 bad for long-term branding Meaning creators lose money AND control. 💀

  @AskPayPal Hello, my PayPal account supported Standard Transfers normally until recently. Less than one month ago I was able to withdraw using Standard Transfer without any issue. Now all my Saudi cards only show Instant Transfer, including previously confirmed cards. Plz fix it

  12/ At Consensus Miami last week, Google Cloud's head of Web3 strategy said something direct: "An agent cannot get a bank account. It's not hard, it just is impossible." What’s more, a @PayPal survey found that 95% of merchants already see AI agent traffic on their sites. But only 20% have the infrastructure to handle it. Meanwhile, @McKinsey estimates that AI agents could mediate up to $5 trillion in global commerce by 2030. So, the agent economy is fast arriving. And the rails it will run on are being decided right now. But one problem that is not yet solved cleanly is Custody. → How do agents touch user funds without custody?

  @CanadaSoccerEN why is PayPal not working on your website? Trying to pay for WC tickets and it says PayPal is down use an alternative payment method. There is NO link to any other form of payment. Very frustrating

  Reason why I would advise putting that specifically in there is in case of charge backs and scammers- if you out nothing and they decided to charge you back, PayPal will look at your invoice and see that there was no good or service written down and you'll have a harder time getting your $ back!

  @Sam2TheSlaughtr Honestly, Ko-Fi is very popular and i would recommend it. The only core thing that you'll have to worry about is that it only deals with paypal. Which has a bad track record of shutting down your account for no reason, etc. So be very weary :]

  In December 2008, Elon Musk gave Tesla the last money he had. The wire went through at six in the evening on Christmas Eve. A few hours later and the payroll checks would have bounced. He'd sold PayPal in 2002 and walked away with about 180 million dollars. He did almost none of the things a person does with 180 million dollars. He put it into a rocket company and a car company, two industries with almost no history of outsiders winning, and then 2008 arrived and started draining what was left. By the end of the year he was down to a few hundred thousand dollars and borrowing money from friends to make rent. His marriage had fallen apart that year too. Two companies. Both nearly out of cash. The same month. The rockets had failed first. SpaceX had one product, a small rocket called the Falcon 1, and only enough money to fly it three times. That was the whole budget. The first one caught fire and fell back to the pad. The second reached space and lost control before orbit. The third separated cleanly, and then the spent first stage drifted back up and tapped the second one... a timing error on a new engine, and the rocket was gone. Three launches, three failures, no money left. He built a fourth out of the scraps and put the last of the cash on it. It launched on September 28, 2008, from a small island in the Pacific, and reached orbit. The first privately built liquid fueled rocket that ever had. He said afterward it was the last money they had, and a fourth failure would have ended the company that night. It didn't save Tesla. Tesla had been about to close a hundred million dollar round that summer when the banks collapsed and credit froze. A tiny car startup raising money while General Motors itself slid toward bankruptcy had almost no chance. It was burning cash, had no car in real production, and was days from missing payroll. So he took over as CEO. He put in his last dollars. He talked the existing investors into restructuring the round as debt to get past the one who was blocking it. That deal closed at six on Christmas Eve. He gave Tesla the last of his cash and, in his words, "didn't even own a house or anything sellable." The day before, NASA had called SpaceX with a 1.6 billion dollar contract to carry cargo to the space station. He said he could barely hold the phone. Two companies pulled back from the edge in 48 hours, at the bottom of the worst year of his life. People look at Musk now and argue about genius. The genius was already there through all three failures, and it didn't save him. What saved him was a choice he'd made months earlier, when the money was running out. He could have put everything left into one company and let the other one die. That was the sane move. He split his last dollars between both instead, knowing it could mean losing both. He said later it nearly gave him a breakdown, and that it could have killed both companies at once. Most people fold at zero for three. He paid for the fourth and... it worked.

  @slothnotsorry @0xAdesola Or what you should have done was the link they sent to your email, click on it then it will take you to that tremendous visa card page, click on the drop down and change the country from Nigeria to USA then if you have or know anyone with PayPal account select and send it there.

  $PYPL — PayPal | ~$44 Launching PYUSD stablecoin aggressively. Partnered across major exchanges. Down 50%+ from highs. Analyst consensus PT $55. High target $100. The market is pricing PayPal as a dying fintech. It is quietly building the stablecoin infrastructure that could reprice it entirely. 26% upside to consensus. Contrarian entry.

  Hey @PayPal is there any way to talk to a contact person from North America who can actually help with an issue that has been complicated and messed up beyond all belief by your company?? This is now becoming absolutely ridiculous - and your India call centre is zero help.

  @wil_da_beast630 @FedEx Wil, you are big enough on here to get their attention, I'm, sure. But, I had a similar runaround situation with PayPal not too long ago involving someone fraudulently using my account to issue payouts. When their customer service was useless, I started finding people in their corporate structure on "Linked-In" and emailed them directly. In my case, it finally got the attention of someone in the executive office, who actually resolved the issue in ten minutes. So, if this doesn't get their attention, start privately contacting anyone you can identify at FedEx corporate. Skip the traditional customer service route. You've got to get a hold of an actual decision maker.

  @annunakkki I'll pay you £50 if you set up a alternative crowdfunding account. I have an old PayPal account that won't let me sign in because I've changed my phone number since creating the account and the only way to update my phone number is by signing into my PayPal account which I can't

  @azusai_ @Kimberstar_ I said this in a discord server, and granted this is easier for me/the artists I have commissioned before because it means I either put minimal or no info in the PayPal transaction notes I just write my username for the site I'm talking to the artist on- )1
