  Copy of message to Stripe in US about closing an old account: That is the problem, the Oxyd Fianancial Corporation is registered, but you do decline the company, so CLOSE the account and give me my funds on that account, I use PayPal and trash the stripe system.

  Let’s clear up a common misconception. Doctors are not getting paid every time they prescribe a medication. There is no secret PayPal from Big Pharma. Per prescription kickbacks are illegal. Now, do financial relationships between physicians and industry exist? Yes. But they are generally tied to services rendered or other transfers of value, not prescriptions. Examples include: • Conducting research • Consulting • Speaking or education • Travel related to legitimate professional activities • Meals provided during educational presentations Many of these relationships are publicly reported and searchable through the Open Payments database. That is very different from: “Your doctor prescribed a medication, therefore they got paid.” That is not how this works. And here’s where I think people should apply the same skepticism consistently. If a wellness influencer is selling supplements, detoxes, coaching, testing, memberships, affiliate products, or courses, ask: • How much money do they make from this recommendation? • What happens to their income if you follow their advice? • Are they profiting from keeping you worried about a problem? • Are they selling a solution to a fear they created? • Are they discussing risks, limitations, and uncertainty or only benefits? Because here’s the interesting part: You can look up many physician industry payments in a public database. There is no public website where you can search how much a wellness influencer made from a supplement deal, affiliate link, brand partnership, detox program, or coaching package. Financial incentives deserve scrutiny. All of them. Not just the ones we already disagree with. Skepticism is healthy. Selective skepticism is not.

  @ruppe_tr Yes my friend, it did work, thank you. My only problem with paypal is that it will take until next week to hit my account. But it will help so much until that first payday. Everything helps right now, especially with teens to look after while I try stay working 🥰

  @BuildWithOm This is exactly what I've been seeing at PayPal. The engineers who thrive aren't the ones writing the most code anymore. They're the ones who can architect systems, understand business problems, and make the right technical decisions. I spend way less time on syntax now and way more time thinking about scalability, security, and how systems fit together. The shift from "can you code this" to "should we build this and how" is already happening. What skill from this list are you doubling down on?

  The problem isn't that affiliate marketing doesn't work in India. It's that the infrastructure never existed. - Creators charge high upfront fees, but brands expect sales guarantees and don't pay - Creators don't trust brands to accurately attribute sales. See @AnshulGains rant - And until recently, there was no easy way to handle payouts, TDS compliance, attribution, fraud prevention, COD detection, and reporting at scale. The US got Stripe, PayPal, Impact, ShareASale, and 200 other softwares India only has @ReferRush

  PYPL PayPal. Down massively from its peak. Now trading at ~8x earnings and ~8x free cash flow. Dirt cheap for a business this scale. 439 million active accounts. $1.79 trillion in annual TPV. Wall Street has written it off. Meanwhile the business keeps printing.

  In 2008 Elon Musk had $0 left. He had poured his entire $180,000,000 PayPal fortune into SpaceX and Tesla. SpaceX had just failed its third rocket launch in a row. Tesla was on the verge of bankruptcy. His marriage fell apart. He lost his house. He was borrowing money from friends just to pay rent. In an interview that year he broke down in tears and said: “I never thought I was someone who could ever be broken. But 2008 broke me. I just didn’t know how I was going to make it.” Three months later SpaceX launched successfully for the first time. Six months later Tesla closed a financing round on Christmas Eve, literally hours before bankruptcy. Today SpaceX is worth $350,000,000,000. The people who told him to save his money and go sit on the beach are watching.

  Being CFO isn't always formal meetings and spreadsheets. Sometimes it's managing a full-blown payment crisis from Thailand, too. Two payment rails went dark in the same week, and PayPal got blocked. The primary bank stopped receiving payments, both at the same time. Here's what actually happened.. We're mid-migration, moving assets across geographies, and the system flagged it automatically. The bank issue was on their end. But when two of your main ways to move money go down at once, you don't get to wait around for an explanation. Especially not from a beach in Phuket. So we shifted our affiliate payments to a new format that we were already planning to build anyway. Incoming payments were rerouted to the secondary bank we had set up and running. >No affiliate missed a payment. >No customer was affected. The whole team held it together quietly while it was happening. This was a lesson worth remembering, so we extended the runway, cleaned up some operational gaps, and put buffers in place while waiting for the revenue from our investments to kick in. Sometimes you build these buffers not because you expect chaos. You build them because chaos can just be another Tuesday. Even when that Tuesday is in Thailand. All systems are stable, our affiliates are paid, and payments are flowing. So if you're building and haven't set up your secondary rails yet, do it before you need them.

  @3G2point0 @CardPurchaser @eBay 1. eBay Money Back Guarantee might still help Even if you’re past the standard 30-day window from the estimated delivery date, open a “Item Not Received” request in your Purchases right away. Go to the order, hit “More actions,” and report it didn’t arrive. If the seller keeps dodging, ask eBay to step in after a few business days. They often side with buyers on non-delivery, especially with a paper trail of the seller admitting they never mailed it and promising refunds.  2. Payment method is your backup • PayPal? You usually have up to 180 days from payment for a dispute/claim. Log in and open one for “Item Not Received.” • Credit/Debit Card? Contact your bank or card issuer ASAP for a chargeback. Explain the situation with screenshots of messages, promises, and lack of delivery. Many issuers are buyer-friendly here.  3. Other steps to take now • Document everything: Save all chat messages, the original listing, tracking (if any), and dates. • Message the seller one more polite-but-firm time: “Hey, still no card or refund. Please issue it today or I’ll have to escalate with eBay/PayPal/bank.” • Check the seller’s feedback and report them if they’re sketchy. In most cases like this, buyers do get their money back one way or another – eBay hates scammy sellers too. If the amount is small, it might not be worth huge stress, but don’t let them get away with it.

  @CoinNapCoin1 @AskPayPal If the account details were changed recently, there may still be a traceable sequence of account modifications and login events available. The sooner those records are reviewed, the better the chances of identifying and reversing unauthorized changes affecting your account.
