  I’m sick of it I’m tired I’m wore down I’m stressed and overwhelmed. For no reason someone went after my kofi which all of my art and writings I created. I filed an appeal but it will take up to 7 days to even hear back. My moms medical can’t wait I have other PayPal links

  I just discovered I am being charged by @Cerebrum_lQ for a service they are not providing. When I tried to cancel I was told I have no active account yet a charge went through @PayPal today. I expect an immediate refund. Sad that X has become a watchdog for these issues.

  A sudden payment method change from PayPal to GIMI created unnecessary confusion for many creators facing verification and payout issues. Transparency is important. #YapperScam #Creators

  @PayPal what’s going on? I got refunded for something and you’re trying to charge me after the bank approved it? How can we fix it?

  Anthropic just went after 30 million small businesses. Claude for Small Business dropped this week. 15 pre-built workflows. Connectors to QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Docusign, Google Workspace. Invoice chasing, payroll planning, lead triage, contract review, cash-flow monitoring. All baked in. No extra charge beyond the Claude license. Here's what most people will miss about this: The biggest AI lab on the planet just told small business owners they're worth building for. Not enterprise. Not Fortune 500. The 10-person company that's been duct-taping tools together for years. That's a market signal. When Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all start shipping SMB-first products in the same quarter, it means the enterprise-only era of AI is over. But pre-built workflows are the floor, not the ceiling. They solve the generic problems every business has. The real unlock is when a business deploys an agent trained on their specific operations, their specific data, their specific customer patterns. That's where the ROI compounds. Generic workflows get you started. Custom agents get you ahead. 10-city live tour starting yesterday. Free half-day workshops for small business owners. Anthropic is doing field sales now. Let that sink in. What's the first workflow you'd hand off to an agent tomorrow morning?

  @FBA_Pirate 95% of the time we’re using PayPal or gift cards, so not an issue for that. But when they use virtual credit cards, rarely have issues either. Main issue is a few sites blocking their IP and they can’t even get to the order page

  Wanting to purchase stuff directly from the Glitch store is so hard... I mean, yeah, I could pay with PayPal, but why does it not have the Pay in 4 option? That would make things so much easier.

  CEO of Paypal, David Marcus, not only hodls #bitcoin, he's noted that it won't be a 'currency' until volatilty slows down - which we have consistently seen happening over time.

  @NovaScotiaa3dh @MikhailaFuller @PayPal oh again, i get it. the problem i have is two fold, 1) paypal is wrong to withhold the funds 2)why are they raising money when they can self fund? they can afford this study on their own, if $70k is going to break the back of the study, they never had a chance

  @tiktok_us thank you for the info, I did as you directed, only problem is the orders I am missing are not shown. Convenient? I ordered the Milwaukee pack out and the heated camp seats, paid through PayPal. Still nothing. Now what?

  Honestly, I’d love to use Stripe, but the problem is it's not supported in my country. It’s such a shame that PayPal is my only option for accepting international payments.😔

  𝐇𝐨𝐩𝐞🖤 CLIPS (@spookyfemdomxx) reported 45 minutes ago

  I’m concerned. Within a week, a few weeks ago, my PayPal was deleted after 4 years of no problems. We all know PP isn’t SW-friendly, so this made sense and I didn’t think much of it. Then, my Revolut was suspended. Then my LoyalFans. This week, I had notifications saying some of my vanilla passwords were compromised, and today, almost 10 reports on individual LoyalFans posts that in no way broke any guidelines. Does anyone, anywhere, have any advice? I am concerned that someone is targeting me, and I don’t know how to resolve this issue, if it can be resolved at all. Hope x

  @AskPayPal "Hello, I am a new freelancer in Kenya. I tried to reactivate my years-old dormant account by uploading my National ID for verification. The system instantly deactivated me. I have zero history of disputes or issues. Can a human agent please review my ID and restore my account?"
