  @PayPal I have some issues with your service it forces me unwillingly to use my full government name during transactions and I feel this is a breach of privacy if you do not handle this I will no longer use your services thank you

  My best snipe? Ghastly Charger's Skull at 10% market value which I sold to some rich kid via PayPal. The snipe sometimes had a human cost however. Mislisted items meant someone made an error. Underpriced a rare item by three zeros. Panicked and immediately messaged you. "Hey I messed up the price. Any chance you'd sell it back?" Every time a difficult decision. Worth enough to block the player and take the profit? Or were they so genuinely heartfelt that you gave the gold back and forgot the margin? It was a vibe check and a greed check simultaneously. I was a poor kid in Estonia. Survival instincts are hard to argue with. But not always.

  @janninereid1 if i refuse to pay taxes for even one tax year, or if I refuse to report income over $600 on paypal, then all hell rains down on me, but a 3d world peasant with nine kids can invade and eat the taxes that the regime has stolen from me. No, I don't care about his sad story.

  @maxkarpis Will do Max! Actually there's a really interesting dynamic in the Turkish market right now. For starters global payment systems like PayPal are banned here due to local data regulations. But here the crazy part even though Turkish banks are super modern and issue standard Visa and Mastercards locals still can't use Apple Pay. It’s mostly because of strict data localization laws by the local authorities and local banks not wanting to share commission fees with Apple. So instead of a simple NFC tap Turkish users are forced to unlock their phones, open a specific bank app and scan a QR code just to make a mobile payment. The irony is that as a foreigner I can easily use my overseas Revolut card with Apple Pay everywhere in Istanbul without any issues while my local friends are stuck scanning QR. If revolut can offer a smoother NFC experience or somehow navigate the Apple Pay hurdle tech savvy users will flock to them instantly. With the Lira's volatility giving locals a seamless way to hold exchange, and spend in multiple currencies without massive bank spreads is highly demanded. Actually @getmidas has also stocks and etc but they dont have banking systems. It is just for investors super app The important thing is ending money abroad from a Turkish bank account usually involves high SWIFT fees and terrible UX. Revolut's frictionless P2P and international transfers would solve a huge pain point. I'll definitely keep an eye out and share any updates!

  @Nero His work on PayPal is commendable. But Tesla is the result of a **** ton of money printing. If that's centrist then I say we tear it all down and go back to living in the trees.

  @Ottery_FP I never want to use PayPal again. By what right do they steal other people's assets? The fact that no one from headquarters is responding, and the customer support staff are just trying to brush me off over the phone, is absolutely terrible.🥲🥲

  PayPal is the OG fintech that somehow made sending money feel harder over time. Random holds, surprise fees and a UI that feels like it survived every redesign since 2006. It’s inertia but with a login screen.

  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.

  @PayPal in spite of setting a default card, you keep withdrawing from the wrong account . Problem did not exist earlier. Why are you making this worse?

  @redcurses please stay confident;your paintings are irreplaceable, including the concepts you have given them. I regret that I was unable to submit a submission this time, and perhaps next time I will consider entrusting someone else to purchase it for me to resolve the PayPal issue. 😭

  Good job, @samgeorgegh, for this clear up because I thought the previous registration didn't go through. It left with sim registration against fraud, PayPal, and then hit more on the data issue.

  @7hachikyuu The only issue with that is that they require payment be sent through a specific site (like I saw PayPay for one) and if they request PayPal I just can't do that because my account has been completely shut down and I have no way to fix it 💔

  @xblazrx @spiderspookie @Kaiser7861 3. The problem is that the intent of the expose is literally her not caring about the actual victim but clout chasing. She literally tells him "you can still talk to me lol" in her own recording 4. She was fine giving him her paypal and accepting money

  My PayPal banned. The account that I depend on promoting and sell my art got deactivated. My account have such low impression, maybe because my art sucks. I have 5 unfinished major works. And I have a major problem with my family relation. I'm going to kill myself.

  @noob_contrarian Hey, for your SBI virtual Visa card: It works on GPay/Stripe but fails on PayPal/Namecheap likely due to SBI's restrictions on debit/virtual cards for those platforms (common RBI/PayPal mismatch on OTP/3D Secure). Quick fixes: - Double-check intl transactions enabled in YONO app. - Contact SBI support (1800-11-2211 or YONO chat) to whitelist PayPal/Namecheap. - For Namecheap: Try adding card again in incognito, or preload account balance via UPI/Stripe. - PayPal: Most SBI debits don't work—use a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

  That 8 is the byte size of the response your server sent back to PayPal (likely the word "Verified"). PayPal sees that 200 OK, and it stops trying to send you that specific notification. You’re being a "good citizen" in the PayPal ecosystem!
