  @Safaricom_Care @GacoyaKori Hello, is there a problem with PayPal to Mpesa transactions?

  Talked to a creator yesterday who pulled $11K last month. they doesn't know how much she actually kept. Not because she's bad at math. Because their income came from 6 different places and her expenses are spread across 3 cards and a PayPal account she forgot the password to. This is the actual problem. Not "creators are bad with money." It's that the money is everywhere and the tools are nowhere.

  Hey @PayPal Why am I having trouble with you? I need assistance with current issues. Why is it so hard for me to connect to a person. I swear you’re pissing me off

  @20DollarChicken @Maryine_34 Begging for YOUR own money is crazy 😭 PayPal did same to me. Fix: Tell clients "bank transfer only" now. Cash out via Bybit P2P → instant. No begging. Never again: [check my pinned]

  @its_The_Dr It’s a civil problem though… case in point if I had a disagreement with a neighbor over money like this, for example: I bought something from him and accidentally PayPal him 10 grand instead of a 100 and he refused to return it, if I called the cops they’d tell me that it’s a civil matter and to take him to court so why is this any different?

  Hey @BeatStars ,I have a payment issue where a 'Successful' sale didn't hit my PayPal or Wallet. Ticket #542882. Can someone look into this?

  @lawless_silence For the time being, I’m using Stripe for payments. This way, it doesn’t pose a problem if potential clients can only pay via Apple Pay or Android Pay. However, I plan to offer PayPal as an option in the future. I’m currently in the process of setting up my PayPal Business >_<

  @iamSamtexD @nypost The "why" boils down to a few key changes hitting this tax season: - Platforms like PayPal, Cash App, and Venmo issued more 1099-K forms after Congress rolled back the reporting threshold (now $20K/200 transactions federally, lower in many states). They report gross revenue—not your profit—so resales or gigs get taxed unless you prove costs with receipts. - Gig workers (Uber, DoorDash, freelancers) pay the full 15.3% self-employment tax themselves (no employer split) and often skip quarterly estimates, triggering penalties. - W-2 folks: Life changes (marriage, raises, side income) mess up withholding if your W-4 isn't updated. Double-check your docs and consider tax software or a pro to sort it.

  @sandeepnailwal Can relate! We’re from a village near Bagwan, Uttarakhand — my grandfather faced similar issues. Been sending money to a friend’s wife back home in Peru 🇵🇪 for months now. Her husband was fed up with hefty fees on PayPal etc. On-chain is way cheaper and faster.

  @Austen I feel like we are at the stage before people trusted paypal where "there's no way i'd trust the internet with my bank account information". Slow and steady, then all at once.

  I used to think Stripe won because they built a better payments infrastructure. That’s not what actually happened. When Stripe started, payments were already “solved” in the traditional sense. - PayPal existed  - Banks had their own systems - Payment gateways were widely available If you were a business, you could accept payments. But if you were a developer trying to integrate them, it was a different story. The process was frustrating. Documentation was unclear. APIs were inconsistent. Setting up even a basic flow could take days, sometimes weeks. Every integration felt like stitching together systems that were never designed to work smoothly. The problem was not availability. It was usability. Stripe focused on something that looked small from the outside but was fundamental in practice. They made the API clean and predictable. Accepting payments took a few lines of code. The documentation was structured. The developer experience was consistent. They did not change the underlying financial system. They changed how developers interacted with it. This had a compounding effect. Developers started choosing Stripe not because it had more features, but because it was easier to start with. That initial decision shaped everything that followed. - easier integration → faster adoption  - faster adoption → more businesses onboarded  - more businesses → more volume and feedback  - more volume → better product over time  What looked like a small improvement at the entry point became a long-term advantage. Stripe did not win by introducing something entirely new. They won by removing friction at the first step and making the default choice obvious. In many markets, the product that is easiest to start with is the one that scales the fastest. The entry experience is not a detail. It is often the decision point that determines the winner.

  @AnthonySabatini I'm liking Mr Donald's less and less but he is allowed to trade stock and basically legally insider-trade being immune from insider trading laws as a US Member of Congress? What rule is he broken by trading PayPal stock and disclosing it?

  @oooo23 @foxenflask My concern, everyone would jump to X Money, slowly scaling down from PayPal.

  @AskPayPal My account (Reference ID: PP-L-774805371850) was deactivated due to a document mismatch. The system asked for a Passport, but I mistakenly uploaded my Driving License. I have my original Passport ready for verification. Please help me fix this.

  @JuriJin_vt @Vixsial The other crazy thing I remember was him needing to use multiple PayPal accounts cause he would have “issues”. He even used his cousin’s account and apparently she wasn’t aware of what it was for. Then she was scared cause she was getting threats on his behalf, so the admin
