  @DwinTheStoic I have always known Uber to be a terrible seevice, terrible consumer app, terrible company. They are no different from likes of PayPal. Uber is terrible normally and I say this as someone who have patronised them in major countries.

  I mean I did click the link but it required me to login to my PayPal but I didn’t so that shouldn’t be a problem right? I changed my password anyway just in case

  if you’re an artist that takes 6+ months on a triple digit priced commission, we don’t issue chargebacks around here this is 2026, your PayPal got your government name and address on it, we are outside your house buddy

  @PayPal I have a problem with my account where payments I send get reversed every couple of days for absolutely zero reason. Frustrating isn’t the word. And speaking to overseas CSR is getting absolutely nowhere.

  Ok I’m a little calmed down now I’ve gotten reassurance that it’s alright if I propose the idea of taking donations. No one should feel pressured to help at all, but my cashapp and PayPal are in my bio. I am going to try all the advice you guys are giving. I’m not sure if this is even the full bill though 🥀

  @_ChokoMami In my case, I didn't even get to do comms, people barely so my stuff, and when I finally started to get more, I had to shut down the whole thing because PayPal doesn't work in my country anymore, I can never get money from the outside anymore.

  Question: If people who do commissions and use PayPal as a pay method, how do y'all die around the whole issue that came from it? Wasn't it closing it down ppls account cause if it?

  Claude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

  Dear @PayPal I changed my street address two years ago (almost) and tha ks to your system not working properly I’m out $40+ shipping for a purchase I made from a friend’s shop as your system went back to my old address and I also haven’t gotten my replacement debit card…

  @Venmo is the worst, most useless digital wallet It blocks payments, no explanation, useless for non-profits unless linked to a volunteers personal account. Business use - a joke. All you have to do is move money. Why wouldn’t @PayPal shut it down

  @bran_di98 @DavidJa51216245 @OrevaZSN A lot of it is down to the processor. Your bank is only one part of the chain. Visa/Mastercard/PayPal/Square etc all form part of the transaction chain. While money moves from your available balance instantly when you process a transaction, it usually shows as "pending". 1/2

  @linuxuser1996 Enable protection compatibility. Then temporarily set your password manager to none. Open PayPal. Login. Set your password manager back to the previous value. Close PayPal. Verify that you can open it again

  Optus (@Optus) reported 44 minutes ago

  @enngees Hi there, customers can recharge their service or purchase add-ons online using a credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, or JCB) and PayPal. An Optus service needs to connect to the Optus network for activation, so we generally recommend setting up and activating the SIM once they've arrived in Australia. If you're still having trouble recharging, please send us a DM, and we'll take a closer look into this for you. -Talia

  @CardsJakes I called both PayPal and Venmo because I noticed the recipients for opposite platform were not being found anymore. They submitted a ticket to IT because there was no know issue.

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  @ifwewerenothing they're trying to shut down the donations system (attempting to report to paypal and other portals that AO3 accepts donations from about the "depraved works" hosted by the website)

  Hey @PayPal, why do your customer service agents keep dodging me? Three separate agents have abruptly closed our chat today right when I asked them to resolve my issue This is incredibly frustrating. Please DM me so I can actually get some real help #CustomerService #BadService

  @linuxuser1996 Eww. @PayPal is disgusting. I would consider it a feature of graphene OS to have it crashed everytime it opens. Plus, @GrapheneOS is busy doing better things. I hope they won't fix this.

  @Dhavidote You the only Nigerian making sense, Shoprite, PayPal or tiktok had problems in Nigeria and it had nothing to do with competition but criminality or infrastructure. Nigerians need to introspect and develop a sense of accountability

  @PeterDiamandis Very few people know that Elon had funded SpaceX largely with his own money from the PayPal sale. He invested about 100 million dollars of personal fortune into the company. After three Falcon 1 failures cash was nearly gone. The team assembled one last rocket from leftover parts. That fourth flight on September 28, 2008 had to succeed or SpaceX would have shut down.
