  @HelpSupercard @2KSupport My web store checkout has been broken since Thursday. Filed a ticket, got ZERO responses, and you just sent me a satisfaction survey for a ticket you silently closed. PayPal works fine everywhere else. Please have a human look at my account.

  @PayPal @AskPayPal I’m honestly so frustrated right now. I’ve been trying to use my PayPal account normally, but I’m suddenly having issues with my account and I can’t figure out what’s going on. I’ve tried contacting customer service and I’m still not getting a clear solution.

  Upsells for PayPal users don't fail because of the offer. They fail on the extra verification step. The moment there's an extra step, there’s an extra step: → login → 2FA → re-approval You're forcing a new decision, and CVR drops. At 10,000 PayPal orders, even a 2-point lift on a $30 upsell adds up fast. One less step means less time for intent to decay. We introduced PayPal V3 to remove redirects for vault-eligible merchants. Customers accept the post-purchase offer in one click. The upsell checkout for buyers feels like a single flow, not a fragmented process.

  @Moiduran2 Hi, I'm from Brazil and I want to buy your "Individual Model Pack for PES 2021 (Over 50 models)" mod via PayPal, but I'm having trouble doing so. Is there another payment method available? I really want to purchase it.

  @jaggedmaven this is a pretty large rant, but: i cannot run nightshade because getting an @AMDRadeon was my worse mistake this year. i found some of my stuff in some datasets that are widely used for ai training, so i cannot actually post anything without poisoning it, and i cant do it. and i have yet to set even a workflow to get the comissions running, i need to use USDT or USDC, that is my ONLY choice, and im kinda discouraged due fanbox and subscribestar are also not viable because @Wise would just let me down by its own rules, that somehow are above any involved country laws, and using paypal is just begging to be robbed. so by the time i solve my problems i'll face unfair competition by some ai dude profiting from my own effort if i continue posting, but if i dont post more often my reach will be buried into oblivion.

  here's how to make your first sale without an audience, without a product, and without spending a dollar step 1: think of one problem you've solved for yourself in the last 12 months. lost weight. cleared skin. organized apartment. grew followers. learned to cook. fixed sleep. anything step 2: write the solution as a numbered list in your notes app. every step you took. every product you used. every mistake you made. every shortcut you found. raw. unedited. brain dump step 3: text 3 friends this message: "i'm putting together a guide on [topic]. would you pay $20 for the exact breakdown of how i did it with every step and product listed" if 2/3 say yes you have a validated product. if they say no ask "what would make it worth $20 to you" and adjust based on their answer step 4: clean up the brain dump. add links to products. add before/after if you have it. export as PDF. send it to the friends who said yes. collect payment through venmo, paypal, or cash app step 5: screenshot the transaction. screenshot their reaction when they read it. post both with "just sold my first digital product. if you want the guide DM me. $20" you just made your first sale. the number doesn't matter. the neural pathway you just created does. your brain now has proof that strangers will pay you for what you know. that proof rewires everything that comes after it

  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.

  The eBay check that bought PayPal in 2002 funded the founders of Tesla, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Palantir. The deal was announced on July 8, 2002, on the front page of the New York Times business section. The article you are looking at is that story. It was written by Matt Richtel. It ran 900 words and treated the transaction as a routine consolidation between two internet companies that had been circling each other for years. The purchase price was one and a half billion dollars in eBay stock. Negotiated and closed in a week. eBay had spent the previous two years trying to build its own competing payment product called Billpoint, had put thirty five million dollars into it as recently as March 2002, and gave up. On the day the acquisition closed, eBay announced Billpoint was being shut down. This is what losing to a better product looks like written into an acquisition announcement. The details in the article are the boring version of the story. The interesting version happened in the six months after. PayPal had about a hundred and fifty employees at the time of the sale. Fewer than thirty of them held meaningful equity. When the eBay stock cleared, most of those thirty people had between five and one hundred and eighty million dollars in liquid capital. They were mostly under thirty five years old. Almost none of them wanted to stay at eBay. Peter Thiel walked out with about fifty five million dollars and used it to co-found Palantir the following year and to start Founders Fund two years after that. Elon Musk walked out with about one hundred and eighty million and put most of it into SpaceX, which he had founded three months earlier, and into Tesla, where he led the Series A in 2004. Reid Hoffman took his exit money and started LinkedIn in December 2002. Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim were engineers at PayPal who left with smaller checks and used them to start YouTube in 2005. Max Levchin took his money and eventually founded Affirm. Jeremy Stoppelman left and started Yelp. David Sacks left and started Yammer. Roelof Botha left PayPal's CFO seat and joined Sequoia, where he became one of the most successful venture investors of his generation. That group started to get called the PayPal Mafia around 2007 when Fortune ran a cover story on them, all standing around in Godfather suits. The combined value of the companies they founded, seeded, or ran after PayPal is over three trillion dollars. The eBay check that made all of that possible was a footnote in the 2002 New York Times business section. The reason the pattern is worth studying is that it is not really about the money. Twenty five people getting rich on the same day is a common story. It has happened a hundred times at other IPOs and acquisitions. The unusual thing is that this specific twenty five went on to found the next generation of the industry that had just paid them. Most exits produce quiet millionaires who buy houses in Palo Alto and take a decade off. PayPal's exit produced a wave of founders who started their next company within eighteen months. The best guess for why is not the capital. It is the confidence and the network. When you have built one thing that worked and cashed out at thirty two, and everyone in your closest circle also built one thing that worked and cashed out at thirty two, the psychological cost of starting the next one drops to almost zero. You do not need to raise from strangers. Your first ten investors are your former colleagues. Your first hire is somebody who used to sit two desks away. I keep this article printed on my wall as a reminder that the deals that look small in the moment are the ones that seed the next twenty years. The check was one and a half billion dollars. The return, measured across the next two decades of companies, was closer to three trillion.

  @jmnationtv @PayPal @AskPayPal PayPal is such a joke. They did the same to me recently, permanent deactivation because my account is connected to a different account that has unsolved issues. Guess what - I have no other account that has any issues. I called them and they said it doesn't need to be my account that I was connected to, so it can be any random VGen user for example (wth by the way?!), so I can do nothing. I talked to 3 different customer support employees, all did nothing to help and couldn't even tell me any details as "privacy policy". At this point I gave up, but hope your case will be solved and that you can actually make a difference 🥺

  African merchants just got a bigger door to the global market. PayPal is now at checkout on thousands of African stores. This week, SeerBit, a pan-African payments company, integrated PayPal. Merchants on its platform can now accept payments from PayPal's hundreds of millions of users, alongside cards and mobile money. What happened? African businesses can now sell to the world with a checkout global buyers already trust. Why it matters: fewer abandoned carts, higher conversion, and easier cross-border e-commerce for small sellers. Who it affects: every African SME that sells online and every importer dealing with international customers. The lesson: the world's biggest payment brands are now plugging into African infrastructure. Collecting from global customers is becoming easier. But that is only half of trade. The other half is paying your own suppliers abroad, and that half still crawls through slow, costly bank routes. The businesses that win will pair easy collection with reliable payment. That is where DapsyPay comes in. Same-day delivery, transparent fees, no surprises. Follow for news that affects your money. The world can now pay you. Make sure you can pay the world back.
