  Citizen ☕ Scientist (@WebWadeOfficial) reported 13 minutes ago

  @EnriqueJLores @PayPal We did $1.5 million/year via PayPal and 1.5 via Stripe until PayPal stopped sending us SMS login codes. Three calls over three weeks with PayPal support did not solve it. I unblocked all blocked numbers, O2 did an investigation and reported they're not blocking shortcodes and our account is working well and still able to receive money. Also waiting 72 hours before re-trying login (to reset the "you were deemed a "risk of hacking") doesn't work. So now we do 3 million/year with Stripe.. Support told us every time they'd let Dublin contact us but that never happened. Perhaps you can help us?

  @TonyClimate @eBay This happened to me in the early 2000s. I filed a report with paypal (part of ebay at that time) and they dismissed it because "the seller said he shipped it" even though he could not provide tracking. $649 Eventually he shut down his account after a series of complaints.

  Every big company is the second version of something that already worked. PayPal → Stripe. Adobe → Figma. The original product usually wasn't broken. The infrastructure around it was. Poker is the same. The game isn't broken. The cards are good. The strategy is good. The competition is good. People have been playing it for decades. What’s broken is everything around the game. You win money, and someone else holds it. You want to withdraw, and you wait. Your balance exists because a company says it does. Your money is sitting in an account that can be frozen, restricted, or confiscated. And we've somehow accepted that as part of playing poker. I don't think poker needs to be reinvented. I think it needs a second version. Same game. Different foundation. The room deals the cards. The contract holds the money. You play, you stand up, you take your stack with you. That's what we're building with Stacked. Poker 2.0 doesn't need to change poker. It just needs to stop treating custody as part of the game.

  PayPal paid approximately $4 billion for Honey in 2020. The browser extension had 17 million monthly users, worked across roughly 30,000 retailers and gave PayPal something it normally reached only at the end of a purchase: influence over what happened before checkout. That position created Honey’s value. Shoppers installed it for discounts, merchants supplied offers to reach those shoppers, and Honey earned money through affiliate attribution when a purchase occurred. Then MegaLag alleged that Honey sometimes replaced creators’ affiliate tracking with its own. PayPal said Honey followed industry practices including last-click attribution, but the explanation did little to stop the reaction. Honey has reportedly fallen from more than 20 million Chrome users to 12 million. Merchant relationships declined from roughly 35,000 to just over 28,000, while its coupon database fell from about 90,000 codes to 50,000. This is what happens when a marketplace flywheel reverses. Fewer users make the product less valuable to merchants. Fewer merchants mean fewer working offers. A weaker product gives the remaining users another reason to uninstall it. Affiliate networks added pressure. Rakuten removed Honey before later reinstating it with new protections, while Impact and Awin also took action. A creator lawsuit has survived PayPal’s attempt to dismiss it, although that is not a finding that PayPal is liable. PayPal bought Honey because it occupied a valuable point between product discovery and payment. The same position became dangerous once shoppers and creators began questioning whose interests the extension served. A $4 billion distribution advantage turned into a trust problem sitting inside 12 million browsers.

  @ShaneSchleger Nope. It’s 100% true. I called their customer care three times reporting the issue. Each time they told me they would correct the issue. I left the money in my PayPal account for months. I finally decided I wanted to earn interest on it so I moved it to my high yield savings account earmarked for PayPal.

  PayPal's Braintree API went down for roughly two hours. Every merchant routing through it saw HTTP 500s. Checkout. Withdrawals. Venmo transfers. All at once. No second rail to switch to. Here's the part most sellers miss: An outage is the version you can't predict. The other version is deliberate. Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments approve you instantly and underwrite later. A volume spike or a chargeback cluster triggers a hold with no warning. Rolling reserve: 10 to 25% of revenue, locked for 90 to 180 days. Terminated instead of paused? MATCH can block approvals for five years. An outage costs you hours. A shutdown costs you months. To the customer, both look identical: your store isn't working. 97% of merchants over $500M run multiple acquirers. That isn't paranoia. That's the job. Full breakdown in the reply 👇
