Keri Dugan (@keridugan1) reported@PayPal is literally a scam! Why would anyone use this company? If you need help, they will just leave you to rot on hold as they think they can wear you down.
-
comicranch (@comicranch99430) reported@PayPal The fact that you have a link for help but the WORST Customer Service is beyond comical, your service blocks and restricts accounts on simple transcribe but allows 1000's of purchases with no limitations, trying to resolve issues is useless with this service

Daniel Ƀrrr (@csuwildcat) reported@sightONsound @kenwheeler No problem: he started w/ the lavish, obscene sum of <checks notes> $28k from his dad to cover expenses for Zip2, which he built into a $307M cash + $22M stock acquisition by Compaq. He then reinvested every penny into PayPal, Tesla, & SpaceX, nearly going bankrupt in the process

Jordan Johnson @JJ9_5 (@krazylemon) reported@Dittolegit11 My cashapp down I got paypal

Thomas (@Amazin_oaH) reported@ibuycompounders @ftr_investors You can say the same about PayPal (painpal), the problem is, they are fundamentally strong now but things could change fast of they can't come up with better solutions compare to their competitors
-
PeteZ (@pzeegers) reported@IslingtonChap He invented Tesla, PayPal, spaceEx, Starlink. What’s broken about that?
-
wow (@timcaooo) reported@PayPal @AskPayPal I have been having many problems with my dispute and appeal which got denied against a seller using a tracking number scam. I am informing in different channels that I will be placing a complaint with the BBB and CFPB, and possibly a US Attorney.

TRambo (@fattyfatman) reported@steady_profits It's paypal. They should pay a FAT dividend and wind down and slowly as they can before being acquired.

Rizwan Virk (@Rizstanford) reportedSorry to every self help account on X giving the cliched startup advice "never give up" today because Elon became the world's first trillionaire. Short version: not everyone is Elon Musk after PayPal, and not everyone should stick with a failing startup/product/model no matter what! Long version:The real lesson is more complicated than the cliche "never give up", which is terrible advice. Sometimes, taking feedback and advice from others is important. At other times, you should ignore the advice of others. The key is to know when to listen and when to be stubborn. Often, giving up on a startup that's failing is the best thing you can do for your mental and financial health. I know founders who suffered both mental and financial problems by "not giving up" when it was clear that their idea wasn't going to work, and they simply delayed their failure (making it worse!. Other times, when you are clear minded about the reasons why things are failing, you can make adjustments and get past the failures to success, like Elon did. But I hate to be the one to break it to you: not everyone is Elon musk and not everyone has made hundreds of million of dollars from their previous startups that they can keep going when things aren't working. Question 1: is the market fundamentally sound (I.e. if you eventually build it right, will people buy i?t). Or are there structural reasons why the market is early and it will catch up to you? Question 2: are there sound science/engineering reasons why the product can work if you keep going? If answer to both is yes, keep going. If not, pivot to something else or give up. For more on why cliches don't work in startups, read my book Startup Myths and Models: What You Won't Learn Business School 🔗 👇🏽

John (@market_sleuth) reportedSpaceX, 2008. Down to one final attempt with Falcon 1 before the money was gone. On Sept 28, 2008 it was a success. The first rocket to orbit the earth from a private space agency. What the whining critics also forget is that when he sold Zip2 he poured that money into PayPal & when he sold PayPal he poured that money into Tesla & SpaceX. Whiners accomplish nothing. They are like gnats, a mere nuisance. The pure idiocy of folks mocking him validates a timeless axiom: 🔽 “Envy is the language of the lazy”. 🤝

Cyberia.BZ | ZYDRATE on DALNET (@CyberiaBZ) reportedWhelp found out the issue with rugged laptop Was promised MXM GPU and that was removed so borked install when tried to load AMD drivers. Now I opened PayPal ticket since I wanted $220 for the replacement part, dude only offered $40

The Higher Falutin (@RyBred87) reported@YodaStockInvest I like software but adbe ER response didn’t help. The market is a popularity contest now more than ever. Until a serious rotation starts happening, Im just watching. Paypal went down w great financials. I think its good for long term, but if youre active, just wait for breakout

Bunyaate Rutindangyezi Rubogyeka 👨🏿💻 (@watsonila) reported@ShezSonialynn @Beinomugisha_ They don’t work, even on any online platform where they ask for identification. I only use driver’s license or passport. The new identification card doesn’t work. You end up being suspended, the likes of PayPal, Payoneer, Upwork, etc. It’s a very serious issue!

Joe Suarez (@carlitrosssxd) reported@KasperMLB Kasper tried to pay for the subscription with PayPal, but it keeps giving an error.

Stanphyl Capital 🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇺🇦 (@StanphylCap) reportedRemember, when Musk ran PayPal it was losing a ton of money and they fired him. He is historically a TERRIBLE CEO. His entire myth is based on unmerited, bubble-level market caps. When the tide goes out, blubber-boy will be swimming very naked!
-
SeeWhatCherimisin 🇺🇸 (@JDiz707) reported@bourscheid He made the money by solving the world’s problems and he continues to do so. Every company was a solution to a problem. PayPal - digital payment made easy Tesla - electric cars/climate change SpaceX - humanity dies if the world gets destroyed Etc…
-
Haroon (@unfilterharoon) reported@simonateba Shane on you for wanting to steal other peoples hard earned money. He doesn’t live a lavish life. Guarantee you that you have more worldly possessions than he does. He invests every penny he’s ever made back into building things that help the world. He sold PayPal, and rather than just call it and never work again, he invested all of it and has grown it. Doesn’t own a home, sleeps on the floor in the office, couch hops friends homes while traveling. So ya, just shut up. You are just trying to stir trouble and be a thief

Tony Lane 🇺🇸 (@TonyLaneNV) reportedOn the same day Elon Musk became the first trillionaire in human history New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani announced he wants to tax billionaires like Musk to fund his agenda. Here is what that argument misses entirely. Elon Musk did not inherit a trillion dollars. He built Zip2 from scratch. He reinvested into PayPal. He bet everything on Tesla and SpaceX when both were on the verge of collapse. He slept on factory floors. He nearly went bankrupt in 2008. He kept building when the world laughed at him. That is not luck. That is capitalism working exactly as intended. The idea that the moment someone succeeds the government’s first instinct should be to take more of what they earned is exactly why entrepreneurs leave high tax states and cities in the first place. New York is already losing residents faster than almost any state in America. Threatening to tax the people who create jobs and drive innovation is not a solution. It is the problem. Congratulations to Elon Musk. The first trillionaire. Built not given.

Silas Sheek (@sheek_silas) reportedFortunately I found a work around to the issue with Hasbro pulse. For whatever reason, it won't let it go through with a credit card, only with PayPal. I got the Red Alert minicon pack on pre-order, finally

Farpy (@farpyhq) reported@Hetzner_Online I'm trying to pay some bills but cc option isn't there and PayPal not working... and you guys aren't answering. 🦩

Nick The FN Icon (@nickthefnicon) reportedYour personal wealth is around an estimated $8-12 million. You are rich. You are "the problem". I'm going to send you my PayPal info and I expect you to send me a pretty substantial transfer, otherwise you're also a greedy selfish rich demon.

Barrak (@BarrakAli) reported@wholemars From PayPal refund button to the first trillion, the man really turned rockets into a rounding error.

-
Rhiera (@Blush_Rhiera) reported@808isfate @kplayground_ldn Wondering this too. I didn't go through with the purchase, because it fully looked like they were going to charge that 1k to my paypal when paying, and that would be a massive financial problem even if that money was returned later

The European Patriot (@EUNationalism) reported@kok_675 @CroatiaFooty Let me PayPal 1000 euro your mother just to show my dominance. Are you down to do it?
