  Middle Age Muddle (@DianaVGalbraith) reported 1 minute ago

  I've been swindled by a scam on Facebook. The "customer service" for the merchant offered to exchange the item (which never arrived), but will not issue a refund. I contacted PayPal and their AI informed me they can't deal with this kind of dispute. I contacted my bank which can't challenge PayPal payments. The scammers discovered quite a rabbit hole!

  @whop Someone paid me through PayPal, and when they paid me, it went straight to my PayPal account. I'm trying to issue them a refund. If I refund them, will the funds come out of my PayPal account or my Whop account @whop_support

  E get one method I was using to create PayPal accounts last year. Link bank to it and use it without issues. Let me try it again and see, if it works, I will share how to do it. Instead of selling your hard earned survey funds to dealers at a low rate, you will learn how to create your own PayPal account and withdraw your money at official rate to your Nigerian bank account. Small small, I will give you everything you need to be self sufficient online. It will take time, but you will definitely get it from me. P.S: image is not mine. Random screenshot from Twitter here.

  What specifically should they do to offset the issue. Have less power? Donate to some paypal? This kind of "speak up" wishwash has never solved anything in decades, and it seems nobody has real solutions to privilege other than morally judging others.

  Barrons with the Best and Worst performers of S&P500 for July. Cognizant( $CTSH) up 43% followed by $PYPL, Yes PayPal at 32% then WorkDay $WDAY at 31%. Looking through this list you guessed it right, TECH had a meltdown. The biggest decliner $SNDK down 46% followed by $GLW down 46%. Both $SNDK and $GLW would have to gain 100% to reach their ATHs for 2026. These were still up 411% and 57% for the year. If I had to wager a bet which would bounce back from here, I would bet it’s $SNDK.

  Why does X Money pay out so much at 6% APY? It's not a scam but it is bait. Cross River Bank makes its money the usual way and their profit margin is like 5% they can't sustain that + other payouts like 3% cashback. Instead, X Payments LLC which offers the X Money fintech product, is subsidizing the rate. While that's a lot of money, the CAC (customer acquisition cost) is far lower than what other neobank and fintech costs are because they have the X ecosystem behind building the userbase. 6% won't last but it's nice incentive for moving money. Why use it? While I have huge issues with the safety of having an account tied to your X account that can be canceled any time Nikita gets hangry, and I think it creates a stressful conflict of interest for creators "toe the moving line or else". as a tool for driving economic growth on X it has value and still seems better than letting PayPal or someone take your money. Transactions between users are instantaneous and single-bank and only handles are disclosed, it's in-app integrated, high FDIC coverage of $10M versus normal $250k, global free ATM use (reimbursed), early DD, no foreign transaction fees, and the card itself is physically secure with no printed numbers, no raised numbers, no cvv on the back, no magstripe, just your name and encrypted comms via chip/RFID. You can access that info or use a virtual credit card number/cvv/exp at any time by generating it in the app. Why not use it? X gets mad you said a hurty word, closes your account, and mails you the balance... Soft blackmail, do what they want you to do or lose your access. Outside of X, no payment processing available like a virtual POS or shopping cart and chargeback/fraud protection for sellers. For X users who want to conduct transactions on the platform it's a solid choice of methods that avoid creating some platform crypto token or other risky system and it avoids the regulatory/taxation uncertainty and exchange problems of crypto while still providing some anonymity and the means to conduct transfers. The question of whether you want one is purely personal. Do you want a cool stainless steel card with no built-in stupid? Do you think you might like to shuffle money around on X? If you're already a subscriber then that incentive money is your money, why not get some of it back as payment for giving their startup a chance? I've received 10% of my subscription fee back in 'rewards' already and haven't even used the card yet so it's not like it cost me anything to try it out but I won't be storing cash on it since I can literally be banned for no reason by mass report abuse or something I'll never trust it.

  @SelenaCaamano @Kezza51454253 If it was the wrong email paypal would not let me get through to the make payment stage, I just had a thought Kezza paid in US dollars, I changed that to UK pounds I wonder if that's the issue and it only works in US dollars

  @jet2tweets Is PayPal down on your app ?

  Biotech2k (@Biotech2k1) reported 30 minutes ago

  Fintech: I have been in and out of fintech for many years. I started when Paypal was spun off and got in early on Square after the IPO. I tend to buy the sector when its cheap and then sell it when it gets really expensive. I think this time around I am just going to stick with it as a theme and just trade around my positions as they get expensive or cheap. $SOFI is my one an only neobank. They have massive user growth, deep and growing cross selling, and they have impressive loan engine. I suspect it could get hit if the credit cycle goes bad with over 60% of their revenues coming from those loans. Long term, this should grow into a banking leader. The newer generations are leaving old banks which offer less convenience and services. They could reach 50 to 60 million users over the long term. $AFRM is one of my two Buy Now Pay Later companies. Consumers, especially younger generations, are tired of predatory credit cards. With BNPL, you only get approved for credit when you request it. You don't get a huge spending limit which cause excess spending. If the consumer does not pay, they don't get any more credit. Its an on demand system that works best for both the consumer and the lender. I suspect that BNPL will replace a huge part of the credit card market over time. This is the best of breed company focused in the US. $KLAR is my other BNPL company. They are a global company with over 100 million customers across 28 countries. They also have a banking charter which gives them a lower cost of capital. The management seems sound and the valuation is just a fraction of Affirms. $LMND is the top insurtech company. They are working in P&C with renters, pet and car insurance. They have strong growth and could continue to take market share from older companies who are not where the younger consumer is online and with technology. I have delt with insurance companies and all the BS I had to go through just to get a quote. I had one from Lemonade in just a few minutes. $LIFE is another insurtech company focused in the life insurance space. They use a blend of agent sales and direct to consumer advertising. They are a newer IPO so I don't know the management as well. I do know it trades at just a fraction of the Lemonade valuation. If the fundamentals prove out to be good, this could be a huge winner. It already has been as I bought my position when it was around $10 to $12. $UPST is my first and main credit tech company. I have been play this company for years when it gets cheap. They are a strong and solid company. My only issue with them is their focus is mostly on unsecure personal loans. That makes them a bit more risky. $BETR is my new and more risky credit tech company. They are not public that long and the management is more risky. I do love that they are focused in the mortgage and HELOC space. These are secured loans that are less likely to default. If the management turns out to be strong, this could be a big winner. $CRCL is my one and only play on crypto as a company. I hold a lot of $USDC in my wallets when I am not buying Bitcoin with it. It controls 80% of the market. It now faces a ton of competition so there is a lot or risk. I love $USCD because in my Coinbase Wallet, it earns interest for me while I am waiting to use it for crypto buying.

  @PayPal Terrible customer service experience. Took 23 minutes to get to a human, who then recommended that I call a phone number that led right back to the same automated operator services. Please have a dispute department human employee contact me. Sending DM with details.

  Gary Vee explains why 3 to 4 NFT projects will end up being the Jackson Pollocks of the 2021 era "When internet stocks came out in 2000, everything was worth a trillion dollars even if the company did zero revenue. Then April 2000 hit and all of it went to zero, companies going from $500 a share to three cents. But the handful that were legit, Google, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal, got dragged down to $3 and then went on to become some of the biggest companies in the world." "NFTs are the exact same thing. Everyone got confused and thought all of them were worth a million dollars, when most are worth nothing, just like trading cards. But there will be 3 to 4 to 7 projects from that 2021 era that in 20 years are the Jackson Pollocks and the Andy Warhols. The only question is whether you're good enough to pick the winners."

  @quarter_clover PayPal and Stripe, both pose potential problems for artists. PayPal is easy to use but will drop artists over commission disputes. Stripe has a reputation for including personal info in receipts and billing, thus doxxing artists. This is not hearsay; I've had friends affected.

  @mitchellvii I lost my PayPal card because I never use it. My credit score went down one point, came back up again. I stopped using because I use Apple wallet. Also the way PayPal bills, if you do use it, is ridiculous. It is easy to forget or overlook. To me, it was just unnecessary bill to remember. I don’t miss it.

  Issues with Paypal have been resolved. But unfortunately several members that pay via Paypal and had a renewal due over this period lost access. Please check your DMs on Whop for steps to get back in. Those who have regained access please make sure to reclaim the indicators from the indicator access section to regain access to them on TradingView. Please make sure to join back in to save your spot and not join the waitlist queue should you decide to join back later. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused.
