  I hate this tactic for promoting merch. I can't be the only one that's like fuckfuckfuck gotta get it now or it'll be gone. Plus isn't it convenient that suddenly you have issues with your Internet or PayPal at checkout and by the time you figure it out the item is gone.

  Tumbly💕 L2d Rigger + Model Artist (@TumblysArt) reported 4 minutes ago

  Btw all I could do about this was submit a DMCA request to get them to remove my art as the profile picture. Hopefully this at least makes it a lot easier to tell this is an impersonator. I have no idea how this person was able to get this name, as I had just made an account named "@/TumblysArt" in March to stop this sort of thing from happening. they will not give me answers on how this happened. Discord is closing/autoreplying to all of my report requests and emails, despite this scammer also causing legal issues when contacting my larger clients. - They believe this person is an authorized party involved in their NDA, and disclose information they otherwise would and legally should not because they sometimes ask about previous projects as a way to build trust. - Then they attempt to start a new project and acquire a down payment - last time this occurred they almost got a payment of $800 sent to them. The person ONLY contacted me directly on x after they saw the paypal was a male name and not based in the US. I see the info has been removed after the DMCA request, but I have no confirmation they are still not impersonating me or in contact with anyone. It's not a huge deal at this point, but I mean I am a little disgusted that it seems borderline impossible to contact discord support and have a real human look at your request.

  The easiest and most valuable open source contribution nobody talks isn't the biggest feature! Most people think contributing means fixing a hard bug or shipping a fancy new feature. It doesn't have to be. Try this on any repo: 1. Click Insights 2. Click Community Standards 3. GitHub gives you a checklist of what a healthy project is still missing. Every unchecked box is a contribution the maintainers already want. paypal/AI-Toolkit, a new Claude Code plugin for PayPal's APIs, has 4 open right now. 1. Pick one 2. Check for existing Issue, if not create one 3. Ask for it to be assigned to you 4. Open a PR Now you're a contributor to a PayPal repo today!

  @stripe and Advent International just offered $60.5 per share for @PayPal, valuing the company at over $53 billion, a 28% premium to its last closing price. @samboboev and Otabek break down the deal structure, why PayPal's market cap fell from $360B in 2021 to around $36-42B today, and whether the Department of Justice would let a combined entity processing $3.7 trillion in annual payment volume go through

  The structural problem: PayPal is a distribution company competing against infrastructure companies. Ripple has bank partnerships. Fidelity has institutional custody. Visa has merchant rails. Open USD has 140 partners sharing reserve revenue. PayPal has 400M consumer accounts. In stablecoins, that's not enough.

  Is anyone else having trouble paying for the BeyondLive ticket? For some reason none of my cards will go through their PayPal portal, even though both my cards and my PayPal account are fine…?

  @Misterdpriley @DonalTDeLay It’s always the incredibly odd problems I’ll have with PayPal too. Like not being able to jump through enough hoops to prove who I am and access my own account. To each their own.

  @ItsLulu_7 you can talk to anyone on earth in as near to real time as physics can currently take us, obesity and laziness are magnitudes more of a problem than starvation , with paypal you can pay for things in a couple of clicks and with amazon they can arrive at your home the next day.

  @Ambrosfox Yeah I saw this randomly in my feed one day, felt bad for all the people who got burned. There is more to the story also from reading the comments. They went around PayPal refund rules by having them mark family transaction. So it's all bank scam issues now.

  @Divine_Sass I like what chamath said on all in concerning stripe and paypal, maybe that combination can be the first crack in Visa's armor so transaction fees can go down

  I’ve held for some time that PayPal is an ideally situated asset for a number of payments and fintech companies interested in adding to their portfolio. The Stripe/Advent offer substantiated this but at far too low a price. The board should reject and offer below $80 a share for PayPal. Unique stablecoin asset in a market growing at >60% p.a, huge network of users and growing payments, solid financials and no balance sheet problems to take on. My bet is that Stripe is not the last bidder in the next few months.

  @Pirat_Nation Why is it youre not reporting its because amazon web services was down? Affected many companies including PayPal? And it was back up between 1-2hrs? And yet here you are spreading misinformation about people not able to play their digitally installed games 💀

  I run everything through PayPal because I don’t have a bank account, and now PayPal is refusing to let me issue invoices or receive money because I don’t have a bank account. It’s ridiculous... They could've told me 3 months ago that this only works for a while!!!! #frustrated #freelancer #paypal

  @AskPayPal guys ive been using pay in 3 for years now. I pay early and no issues no missed payments but all of a sudden it says it is unavailable to me. Yet I can pick a new option of pay in 30. Is this replacing pay in 3?

  @Meta my business account was hacked on 10th July, money spent on my card and PayPal account, reported numerous times to you and yet nothing being done by you to fix the situation, why? Why no response from you? Why is it so difficult to contact you? Why no way to phone you?

  @YouWhat112 @pokemondealsuk Yep still won’t let me order even normal things. Even PayPal brings up the error. Quite possibly the worst time for this to happen as I think it’ll mean we miss every 30th drop until something happens. 😔

  @GreekTrader777 Don’t worry. It’s just slow showing the info. Call PayPal Support. Demand to speak with their Tier 2 Limitations or Wire Transfers Department. the wait is really just bullshit dead time so that they can make fractions of a penny extra interest off of every transfer.

  File disputes within 180 days (and know what's actually covered) He didn't know PayPal has a Resolution Center or that it has a 180-day window to file a dispute on eligible transactions. His friend said: "If you paid with Goods and Services and the item never arrived, or it arrived and it's significantly different from the description, you have 180 days to open a dispute through PayPal's Resolution Center. Go to Resolution Center on the PayPal website. Select 'Report a problem.' Choose the transaction. Follow the steps." "PayPal will review the case. If the seller can't prove delivery or the item matches the description, you get a full refund." He also warned: "But remember this only works for Goods and Services. Friends and Family payments are not eligible. That's why scammers insist on Friends and Family. And disputes don't cover things like buyer's remorse, services that were delivered but didn't meet your expectations, or items you picked up in person. Know the rules before you need them."
