  Before I respond to any DM I just want to let my commission clients know my PayPal account just got permanently deactivated for reasons I still don't know. I will try to fix this asap but I will probably not be able to receive payments anytime soon 💔

  @base Same script each time. I thought by now base would have brought a long lasting solutions to the problem of ACH, SEPA, PayPal, Debit/Credit cards and co payments and transfer problem. I was thinking we were about to have a functional international all in one payment platform.

  @BanUniparties @AustinFranco123 That would almost certainly get shut down by Paypal.

  @Andino_SKB I meant keeping it in there like it's a bank account, if you use PayPal it's common Knowledge that you move what's in there into your bank asap because of these issues.

  Part 3/3 — EARNINGS AND CALENDAR - Last night: Cadence delivered EPS $2.11 against $2.05 expected, revenue $1.584B up 24% year-on-year, record backlog of $8.1B, and lifted full-year guidance to $6.26–6.34B revenue and $8.05–8.15 EPS. Shares traded up around 3.5% after hours near $350. - Read that carefully. Cadence sells into customer R&D budgets, not rack deployments — recurring, asset-light, capex-insulated. Rewarding it is consistent with the same rotation punishing capex names, not evidence the buildout trade has bottomed. - Today: Consumer Confidence. Before open — Boeing, Coca-Cola, PayPal, UPS, Corning, Royal Caribbean. After close — Visa, KLA, Ford, Seagate, Teradyne, Enphase, Bloom Energy. - Wednesday: FOMC decision. Microsoft and Meta after close, with Qualcomm, Arm, Lam Research, Vertiv and Robinhood alongside. - Thursday: PCE inflation. Apple and Amazon after close, plus Mastercard and Roblox. - Friday: Michigan sentiment and inflation expectations. Exxon, Chevron, AbbVie. — BOTTOM LINE - The tape is not rejecting AI. It is repricing who inside AI gets paid without writing a cheque. Capex-levered names get marked down on terminal-state fears; capex-insulated names get bid. Cadence up 3.5% and Korea down 10.8% on the same twenty-four hours is one trade, not two. - The DUV headline is a decade-long risk arriving as a same-day repricing. Five machines in 2026 do not touch anyone's 2027 earnings. What they touch is the confidence interval around the terminal multiple — and that is precisely the variable a market this extended cannot defend. - The proper test of whether the buildout trade has found a floor is not this week's software prints. It is Microsoft and Meta raising 2027 capex tomorrow and trading higher anyway. Until a capex-levered name is rewarded for spending more, every green candle in AI-adjacent software is rotation, not recovery. - Rates are the quiet risk. A live Fed inside a tightening cycle, with crude up 20% on the month feeding headline inflation, is the wrong backdrop for long-duration cash flows already under narrative attack. 30Y at 5.11 is fine. 5.50% is not. - Positioning stays patient. Own the franc, respect the Fed, and require the market to pay for capex before assuming the scarcity premium is coming back. Not financial advice.

  Now that I posted that edited screenshot, business owners with permits, artists who use PayPal, and people with over 20k in their PayPal balances have started sharing that they've experienced the same thing. This was never just a "tax fraud" issue, it’s a PayPal issue.

  @JonesyShwemes @bekamaciorowski @RebekahMac8a93 I cant fault you Jeff. The only reason I do is so I can get the payment details and report to Paypal etc , its very rare that we close down a paypal account but it has happened.

  @pnkplasticfangs cool, so what about giving people a damn other option to "accept donations" since we can't use paypal, bcs that's the whole issue, how are me or any other artist getting money from all over the world when there is like 1 big app that does that?

• 
  Li Lan 🍮 (@yumchxa) reported 34 minutes ago

  Question regarding the whole PayPal issue atm— let’s say an artist only opens commissions on occasion, like every 2-3 months, could they still get in trouble/banned? I myself have been doing it this way and I’m honestly just as lost as everyone else..

  @AskPayPal I received a payment from a buyer, but I noticed a possible issue with the shipping address. The buyer contacted me through Facebook and told me that the item should be shipped to his friend in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. However, the PayPal transaction shows a shipping address

  @fsonic3 Dude 500$ Is it too much money? Clearly, the problem isn't the taxes, it's the power imbalance behind it. PayPal is a payment gateway; for foreigners like those in Latin America or Asia, it can be a way to diversify savings due to currency volatility, financial security, etc.

  @TANKONEXONLY Got that **** finally. Bruh, these people and institutions are retarded. Wasted hours and hours. Paypal did it in like 30 minutes. Charged $15 for immediate money, but only cause I was scared to wait and get turned down lol.

  LAB✖️RAT - 🔞 Artist (COMMS PAUSED) (@labXrat) reported 48 minutes ago

  @balkanxian_rss @dearpetangel Yes, the content of a note can potentially trigger PayPal to crack down on an artist if they believe there is any "forbidden NSFW activity" going on lol. So to be safe, I like to either just ask them not to leave any, or keep it vague: like "order #210" or smth

  taz 🤖🎧 (@tazthemenace) reported 48 minutes ago

  Part of the problem is even if Stripe is a good alternative, the way people suggest a ton of different things means ppl are spread everywhere and you may have to make multiple different accounts to comm people, as opposed to everyone accepting a single common site like PayPal was

  @NamesakeGeodite This is why I prefer cashapp but the main problem for me is… WHY IS THERE NO ART COMMISSION WEBSITE THAT SUPPORTS CASHAPP I tried so many times to link my PayPal to my commissions but it never works at all and I’m like “they gotta add cashapp bro 😭”

  @pnkplasticfangs honestly that's fair, I think the issue is the fact that paypal generally is harder to use for international users because of that fact, in my experience a lot of ppl internationally just have the convenience of getting money immediately and in high amounts in conversion so+

  @fsonic3 I've been using PayPal for 10 years, and I pay every tax and transaction they require. The common problem or pattern I see in every post, Reddit thread, etc., is the indiscriminate use of AI moderation.

  issue are always the one to bring this statement down. It kinda comes of as priviliged considering some people's actually genuine livelihoods rely on that money in paypal, it's just that it either gets flagged before people can even move it to their banks / local e-commerce apps
