  @realDougStewart @GabeHoff @LutherTheWriter I imagine right now he’s in the process of taking down the affiliate website… That’s OK I took screenshots of my earnings… Sales numbers and have all of the PayPal payouts for a record

  Had about 50+ people reach out to me a couple of days ago on insta about private processing So let me break down some common questions Nr1: legal structure If you sell in the US, have a US llc setup This will increase your auth rates and opens a lot of new doors (Same goes for other markets - have a local setup) Nr2: what is “private processing” It is not some payfac Its having processing directly from an acquiring bank You go to an ISO and they talk to the bank and do the whole underwriting process In the end you have your own MIDs (merchant IDs) And you are the only store processing on it Way less wrongful shutdowns than on payfacs cause your data is not mixed with others Nr3: the checkout Its very simple… All you need is a CRM It will high jack the shopify checkout process You build a custom checkout or use pre made templates and connect your MIDs to the CRM Usually will need the MIDs to either be able to issue a VAR sheet or have the NMI gateway But its very common so no worries on that Nr4: the benefits I dont even know where to start lol - full control over your checkout (split test and run what ever you want) - unrestricted upsell flows - if you do mrr then you can own your subscription tokens - apple/google pay wallets + paypal - way less wrongful shutdowns - next day payouts - almost a 0% chance at losing access to all processing - smart rebill logic - built in tracking (sent directly to your ad platform) - no more headaches from SP bs I could go on but you get the point If you are still on SP in the big 2026 its time to rethink your backend Q4 is coming up and volume spikes cause a ton of volatility with SP shutdowns (Not the case on MIDs as you have a HUMAN to talk to) Don’t end up not being able to process payments during November Set this up even as a backup if you don’t want to fully switch Either way if you have any questions or want to get in touch with the right people… Send me a dm

  I remember sitting with these lawyers in New York, and they were lecturing me about how they can't use cold email to grow their business. And for a while, I believed them. But then I looked it up. In New York, lawyers can email anybody in business they believe might be "in the market for legal services." And if someone owns a business, they're in the market. So yeah, they were wrong. Cold email is totally fine. They just never checked. And I've made that same mistake - plenty of times. When I was starting out, I'd block myself on things like: "How do I take payments?" "Do I need a business license?" "Am I even allowed to sell this?" And the key part is - I never searched. Because it wasn't really a question. It was an excuse. The moment someone says "just use PayPal," you're at a fork. Either you go, "Oh, yeah, I could." Or you get mad. You reject it. You invent a new reason. I had a friend who went all the way. Built the funnel. Wrote the copy. Recorded all the videos. Set up payments. Everything was done. And he never launched. All the blockers were gone. But the mindset that stopped him at the beginning? Still there. That voice that says "I'm not ready" doesn't leave just because you did the work. What actually slows you down isn't risk. It's assumption. And the fact that you never checked. That's exactly what we break inside Galadon Gold. This is not a course. It's my actual outbound system - tools, flows, and frameworks that generate real leads and sales. 4 coaching calls a week.

  Ripple's CEO just explained why #XRP exists in under 2 minutes no jargon: Venmo can't send to PayPal, even though PayPal owns Venmo. That's how broken our payment networks are. Now scale that to sending money overseas: slow, expensive, and it can vanish for weeks. Ripple's fix: sell the tech to banks worldwide. 4 second settlement, fractions of a penny, anywhere on Earth. Customers don't care it runs on XRP. They just care that it works.

  @BowTiedKong I think banking regulations mandate the involvement of some physical clearing houses for an "online" transfer Why not just use ravens to transfer the funds? Another issue is PayPal holding people's funds hostage whenever they feel like it, apparently

  @tainted_ashes @PayPal It sucks so bad because this is how I make a living. I’ve been doing this for three years now and had no issues, and they blocked me out of nowhere. It’s ridiculous that this happens so often in the art community. 😩🫠

  Been holding base:0x5576d6ed9181f2225aff5282ac0ed29f755437ea since way back, and they've done nothing but put their head down and ship the whole time. Now they've got a seat at the table with Mastercard, PayPal and HSBC on agentic payments. Grabbed some more today.

  @grandarchivetcg Unfortunately gonna miss this because coretcg doesint accept paypal even though the website does. It seems to send the request for payment before you can choose shipping. So once the shipping is added later it errors out. Please choose a reputable company for sales in the future

  @AskPayPal @EyoladeAbass In other words, don’t expect the issue to ever be resolved because their help center isn’t monitored by human beings and they engage in fraud.

  . Scummy tricks the platform sticks up my *** every day... a) A guy reposted one of my actual articles this morning, and I went over there to check on it about an hour later and found it 72 posts back on the timeline. b) I made a little post just about that. It has a few comments on it, but no one would ever know. Because the comment counter is blank. Comments to my post don't register. So no one would ever think of clicking to view them. They've been concealed by the platform. The scumbags that run this platform have pulled every ***** trick in the book on me from the very beginning, but have really put the hammer down since my series of articles targeting the PayPal Mafia directly, as well as the organized crime cartel occupying the Oval Office with articles such as "The Doge Scam", and "The Pardons Racket". Since then, my account's basically been dead. I've been locked in a vault for a month. .

  @ArmandDoma It is hard though, right? Because, the PayPal mafia model is to pull a bunch of disconnected nodes together. You fund a lot of startups, some of them succeed. The successful ones consolidate into something greater than the sum of their parts. The problem with regulating ai is..

  @LeeandLie Unsure if this applies but if you guys used PayPal, I know they are great for getting a refund if you have proof of bankruptcy? They instantly refunded me for 3 purchases from an major anime figure site that closed down suddenly a few years ago. Can't guarantee it'll work though

  @AskPayPal I need help with a closed case from an ongoing issue. I have timestamped proof of an on-time cancellation, but your resolution center closed it unfairly and charged me after all. It was a trial from Adobe and cancelled it right on time! You both ghosted me! @grok help

  @AskPayPal EMERGENCY: Case ID PP-R-MCW-635878992 is auto-closing in 30 minutes. The buyer committed return tracking fraud by uploading the original outbound tracking number instead of returning the item. Phone support is down. PLEASE PAUSE CASE CLOSURE FOR HUMAN REVIEW.
