youssfi abdessamad (@lemeanter) reported@AskPayPal Hello, I encountered a technical issue with my account. It was permanently restricted the moment I uploaded my ID(CIN) for verification. I believe this was an automated mistake as the documents are 100% authentic. Could you please manually review my case? Thank you.

Position Journal (@PositionJournal) reported@arbel_amir The thing with Pinterest is, the product is fantastic, the user growth is consistent (10 straight quarters) and they have a meaningful differentiator with their 80B monthly queries across images. The issue is management, I did not expect Bill, who came as COO of PayPal and founder of Venmo, to be so reactive. The issues he laid out in the call are all rudimentary issues (losing big advertisers) and his reaction of hiring more sales team and upping the GTM strategy is something that could have been done months prior and not just in Q1'26.

Marwane (@MarwaneResub) reportedNever run 100% of your revenue through one processor. Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments — they're all the same risk. One fraud pattern. One disputed batch. One compliance flag. Your entire cashflow stops. Fix: Route volume across 2–3 processors. Never let one hold more than 60% of your monthly revenue.

Kevin Waldvogel (@waldvogelk) reported@PayPal having issues getting a refund. Seller is refusing to take a return for an item that didn’t fit it was at least 3 inches too wide. I filed with PayPal saying that and was denied. Idk how to explain it better that it doesn’t fit
-
Marwane (@MarwaneResub) reported@ParetoMichael @harleyf @ShopifySupport This is exactly why you don't run a 7-figure ecom brand on a single processor. Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal — they can freeze you overnight with zero warning. Clean record doesn't matter. The brands that don't panic when this happens have high-risk merchant accounts running in parallel. DM me if you want to fix this properly.

karanchauhan.eth (@0xkaranchauhan) reported@sandeepnailwal Can relate! We’re from a village near Bagwan, Uttarakhand — my grandfather faced similar issues. Been sending money to a friend’s wife back home in Peru 🇵🇪 for months now. Her husband was fed up with hefty fees on PayPal etc. On-chain is way cheaper and faster.

Maisie ✨🐉 (@maisiemomo_) reportedI have talked to @PayPal support and emailed them. Now I sit and wait and hope that they have an actual human review my issue and not AI 🙃 Would love to get my commissions back up and running 🤞

aurora 🌙🐲🪽🦋🪻🫧 (@wishkept) reported@ecutruin @Xurran @PayPal unfortunately , you are entitled to the artist's process when that artist is selling it as a product to you , that is the point of a commission ☺ it is an artist's responsibility to accommodate you when you are purchasing a custom work from them , and once more , in this particular process the "artist" here *did* share their "progress" however it was not authentic and they continued to story that the art work was their own work without any generative AI tools used lastly , human beings are not omnipotent , so it is not viable for us to magically generate some sort of mind reading ability of foresight to tell the future as to whether or not someone is going to go back on their word or lie outright , the point remains still yet: even if you *did* make an agreement beforehand , that person can still lie , they don't have to honor their word , which is still not the fault nor responsibility of the client when the liar turns out to be the artist who was peddling a product that was dishonest , this is the very core of a "scam" what is the client meant to do ? interrogate them ? there is no guarantee of the truth , even still , the artist continues to double down , this is one particular scenario and though you are attempting to make some kind of blanket statement to defend the potential usage of AI still makes no difference here unfortunately the artist was deceptive , and agreements beforehand or after the fact made no difference , because the artist was questioned and denied the claims , and continued to be unable to produce a commission with the details requested in accuracy , instead what was delivered was inconsistent with what was advertised and the artist's behavior and "progress" provided contradicted the artist's own statements i don't disagree with the latter part of what you are saying , and some people do trace AI , you're right about this , i'm not going to get into a debate about whether it's right or wrong because it has nothing to do with the scenario . artists sometimes trace over real life references or even pictures they took of their selves for poses , sometimes models will model poses and allow artists to use it as a base for free or for cost , so i understand what you're saying . sometimes people are forthcoming about it and other times they are not , sometimes there are people out there who even trace over other artist's works without permission and sell it as their own no AI involved , but we cannot blame clients if the artist is the one who holds the responsibility to be honest about it when it comes to using AI , and the person was not drawing over AI - the luxray had 5 legs , absol has 4 eyes , even if you traced over AI to assist your art work then anyone can debate that elsewhere , but a person who is paying attention to what they're doing is not going to include these blatant mistakes , and there are even more to list . some people are still not able to easily spot AI , and they don't understand; it's still new to some , and it's still new to my friend here , people have to learn to spot it and make their choice as to whether or not they are going to support or or avoid it . but regardless of that , the artist explained away even these glaring issues as her own works , which , if it even had been true , then perhaps there is even more of an issue than the simple usage of AI . still , this is the whole purpose of making a TOS , which the artist must do; it makes no sense for that responsibility to be on the client , because it is not their business and they are not the ones who are held to account for the invoices . if you're trying to say that commissioning someone in good faith without witnessing a TOS first is unwise , then i can't entirely disagree with you , but the responsibility is still on the person who was dishonest . people may try new things and be unaware , and that's just something that happens . i've been scammed before by people who didn't even use AI , this was well over a decade ago and AI wasn't really a thing - they just simply chose not to complete the commission . i don't bear any resentments towards them or anything , so i'm not attempting to detract , i'm just saying that we cannot always prevent or predict what someone is going to do to us , so it's unfair to expect a client to be all knowing , they are not running the business , they are merely a patron and if the business owner takes advantage of the patrons , then who is at fault ? we can only know what we know until further information is revealed , and the artist here was still revealed to be deceptive in the end . perhaps it is a learning lesson for the client , sure , but for the artist , if they are not willing to operate truthfully , what can be done ? there is no willingness to change the structure of the business nor admit to the fact that AI was used , she's already determined that , which cannot be helped . we cannot force others to concede , but stand by our own convictions

Leo (@neurolauncher) reported@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!

Lord Sammy Gato (@lordsammygato) reported@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.

Dan Herbert (@RipnLips30) reported@PayPal being you have zero way to connect with a human how am I supposed to fix my account?
