  Question: If people who do commissions and use PayPal as a pay method, how do y'all die around the whole issue that came from it? Wasn't it closing it down ppls account cause if it?

  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.!!

  💰+$421.72💰 $FLYE $GPRO $SSM Took out a $9k loan to fund my account, $8.5k got deposited after PayPal fees. Only taking system trades and not going stupid size so I don't blow up. I can't afford to lose this money and pay the payment on it. Slow start on the first day, unfortunately $SSM and $FLYE ramped back EoD otherwise would have been a great start. Previous Account Size: $8,500.53 Current Account Size: $8,922.25

  @ShoeQueen0318 @ThatsAllAreanna Sadly wokesky isn't doing ****. Been doing the same. We need to hit her where it matters the most, either her linktree or her PayPal/venmo. Won't they shut PayPal down if there's too many charge backs?

  @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.

  A client wanted paid roles in their discord. Here's the whole flow. User visit site, discord login, checkout in crypto or PayPal, payment webhook hits my backend, verify, bot assigns the role, cron watches expiry. Sounds clean. It wasn't. The webhook fired twice on one payment. Same user, two events, milliseconds apart. Without idempotency keys that's a double charge or a corrupted subscription record. Fix: every payment event gets a unique key written to the database before anything is processed. The second event sees the key and exits. Boring code. Saves you a refund and a very annoyed customer.

  @darksainzrising they're trying to shut down the donations system (attempting to report to paypal and other portals that AO3 accepts donations from about the "depraved works" hosted by the website)

  @robertromano @JonMalin 1. Go to PayPal Resolution Center, select the transaction, choose Report a Problem, then choose "Significantly Not as Described." Don't select "Unauthorized Activity," as PayPal will instantly deny the claim once they verify you authorized initial payment. Upload evidence. 1/2

  @_ChokoMami In my case, I didn't even get to do comms, people barely so my stuff, and when I finally started to get more, I had to shut down the whole thing because PayPal doesn't work in my country anymore, I can never get money from the outside anymore.

  Nigerians don't have a sense of accountability and lack self introspection, Shoprite, PayPal, tiktok,etc had problems in Nigeria guess they couldn't compete according to them

  @linuxuser1996 And if you can't live without it that Paypal isn't able anymore to get money out of you ,you still can use it as a PWA without problems. The ppl who want everything, cloud, KI auto-features, face recognition etc. , despite GOS handling most should maybe have a stock as 2. phone

  @FatherAltman Hi Father, Paypal throws an error saying your webmaster needs do/fix something. I used CC instead, but normally always use Paypal for online purchases. Looking forward to the book!

  @PokemonRestocks I am having hard time adding the payment method. Yesterday I don't understand why would not let me enter the drawing and was asking for a payment method. I always used PayPal. I tried to cancel all amd add a new CC but does not work. Anyone had this issue?

  @PayPal I transfered money from PayPal to Mpesa on Thursday 27th August, the money was deducted from PayPal but never hit my Mpesa. The status of the transaction is marked as complete. I need some assistance and escalation of that issue.

  RANT Why must PayPal hate new accounts. I just created a business account confirm if my account is good, costumer support said yes. Proceeds to hammer me with money stuck there for days. Doesn't even tell you what's the main problem. Man this sht sucks.

  @Dhavidote You the only Nigerian making sense, Shoprite, PayPal or tiktok had problems in Nigeria and it had nothing to do with competition but criminality or infrastructure. Nigerians need to introspect and develop a sense of accountability

  Kaz @nejatian on the biggest lesson he learned from Shopify CEO @tobi Lütke: There's only 3 rules you learn in business school: 1. Money is good 2. More money is better 3. Money now is better than money later "What ends up happening is: people very frequently sell future growth at a massive discount for today's stock price." "The result of that is PayPal. Over and over that company made the wrong decisions because they cared more about today than 10 years from now." "And guess what—it is now 10 years from now and the company’s in deep trouble." "Tobi had this wonderful mentality of applying essentially a zero discount rate to future growth." "He was like, 'Growth tomorrow or growth today, I’m indifferent. I will never sacrifice growth tomorrow for growth today.'" "What ends up happening is, because human beings always misunderstand compounding, you end up getting way higher growth later on." "It’s a very hard thing to do in practice because you have to look at a chart and say, 'Nah, I’ll take some of it later.' That’s very hard." "There are 2 SaaS companies that stand differently from the rest: Palantir and Shopify." "I think it’s partially because they do things that are just so different than every other company."

  Optus (@Optus) reported 53 minutes ago

  @enngees Hi there, customers can recharge their service or purchase add-ons online using a credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, or JCB) and PayPal. An Optus service needs to connect to the Optus network for activation, so we generally recommend setting up and activating the SIM once they've arrived in Australia. If you're still having trouble recharging, please send us a DM, and we'll take a closer look into this for you. -Talia

  Night, Everyone!🚇 stable-2:native I've been digging into Stable's team and honestly? I'm conflicted. The CTO is Sam Kazemian who built Frax Finance to $1.4B. Huge credibility. Tether's CEO is advising. PayPal invested. But here's what nobody's talking about: the founder Joshua Harding quietly stepped down as CEO with zero public announcement. Brian Mehler took over silently. And apparently whales deposited USDT before the official window opened. That's insider-trading territory. They have a grant program but zero named dApps. I'm watching closely but not trusting blindly yet. Tag a friend who researches teams before investing.
