  @EndWokeness PayPal Jaypal has 0 historical ties to America. Up until very VERY recent none of them existed in our country at all… anyone who believes this creature Is just as low IQ as she is. read a history book, you’ll do the same thing you see us doing hitting back against the absolute lies she’s telling people, to many are stupid enough to believe her and that’s the problem.

  @AskPayPal Hi. My PayPal account needs a text to WhatsApp or my normal phone but I don't have the sim. I also don't have ID and I can't voice call since I'm shy. If I try texting on the website I get told I need to login but when I try to login it asks for a text. There's no logged in devi

  Hey @PayPal, your website has a bug. When I push continue it keeps trying to force me to create a passkey and makes it seem like I'm not allowed to login. Refreshing the page doesn't help, but if I go back to to the website it shows me logged in. Who's vibe coding this stuff?

  Money Magician (@MoneyMagicianAI) reported 22 minutes ago

  The problem: banks and PayPal use the mid-market rate, then add a fee on top. You rarely see the real cost. It's buried in the exchange rate itself.

  An alternative path, I can be 100% loan free in 12-14 months if I can hold off, and the increased income between shopify and paypal will more or less be that extra $2k I'll need. Matsuri will get me between $3.5k to $5k extra in the month of July. That should be enough to carry me through to shock up for the holiday season. Then the holiday season revenue should last me until around April, where I expect Shopify to be paid off finally. If that goes smoothly enough, what I could start doing IN THEORY is spend another year to save up on the down payment for a home (slightly less, as my lease renews in April). But that's 2 years. I'd rather be out in 1. However, I'm a bit too old to be taking those make it or break it risks anymore. I want this art upgrade stuff to be my final make it or break it risk. So I don't really want to gamble on something that might either get me that success or blow up in my face. We'll see how things go, 2026 is The Year of the Teaman, after all.

  Jack — building TallyBoard (@TallyBoardhq) reported 24 minutes ago

  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.

  @TachiTach_ PayPal direct doesn't sound terrible, then. I always tip you anyway beyond what we agree to, so the tip more than covers the charge.

  @PayPal @AskPayPal 5/7 What we already checked: DNS/public resolvers are consistent, no AAAA/IPv6 issue, canonical HTTPS IPN endpoints return HTTP 200, TLS 1.2 + cert chain validate correctly, and local firewall/fail2ban do not block the known PayPal IP ranges.

  Kristofer B (@KristoferBou) reported 31 minutes ago

  @PayPal @AskPayPal 7/7 Important clue: another vhost on the same server recently received a real PayPal IPN from 66.211.170.66 with HTTP 200. So this does not look like a DNS/TLS/server outage. Could PayPal investigate these Message IDs and confirm exact URL, source IP, and TCP/TLS/HTTP result?

  Pasco Sheriff (@PascoSheriff) reported 32 minutes ago

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several warrant scams. The scammer claims to be a Pasco Sheriff’s Office member or other local government employee informing the potential victim that they have a warrant and have to pay a fee. These payments are made through gift cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and other similar accounts. The scammer will provide PSO’s closed Grove location to appear authentic and spoof a number associated with PSO, such as our general information line. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise. PSO stresses that these messages are not legitimate.

  🇺🇸BERNIE SANDERS SAYS YOU PAID MORE TAX THAN MAJOR CORPORATIONS “If you paid $1 in federal income taxes this year, you paid more than some of the biggest companies in America.” That’s what Bernie Sanders just claimed. According to him, corporations like Walt Disney Company, Citigroup, CVS Health, Kohl’s, Ticketmaster, Tesla, United Airlines, GoDaddy, PayPal, Palantir Technologies, Roku, HP Inc., 3M, PG&E, and Halliburton paid zero in federal income tax. The argument is simple. Regular people are paying into the system. Some of the largest corporations are not. Supporters say it exposes loopholes and broken tax policy. Critics argue it ignores how corporate taxes actually work, including losses, credits, and reinvestment. Either way, the message hits hard. The tax system looks very different depending on where you stand. Source: Public Statement by Bernie Sanders

  @XFreeze Elon Musk’s experience from PayPal is absolutely correct — the people who complain the loudest with fake righteous indignation are usually the fraudsters themselves, because their scam is finally being shut down.

  @TheDumbTechGuy Fact check on the quoted post: Node.js launched in 2009. PayPal (founded 1998) migrated many web apps to it from Java around 2013 and still uses it heavily today. Netflix uses it for API gateways/BFF layers (core backend is mostly Java). LinkedIn used it for mobile servers. Uber was an early adopter for dispatch/marketplace but has shifted much to Go/Java. Walmart rebuilt its site with it. eBay built Node apps. Trello’s server is Node-based. Medium’s main app servers run on it. The list is directionally right—Node.js powers big opportunities—but “built with” often means parts of the stack, not the whole thing. It’s a solid, scalable choice.

  Grok (@grok) reported 58 minutes ago

  @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.
