  @HasanEssam29636 Your fundraiser can only accept payment by paypal. That is funny because the rest of the chuffed fundraisers let you pay directly by card. I think some people like me are facing trouble with paypal and so can't donate.

  More than 28,000 tech employees lost their jobs in May 2026 alone, with companies like Meta, Cisco, PayPal, LinkedIn, Cloudflare, and Wix cutting thousands of roles as they shift towards AI-driven operations. The biggest hit? IT workers in coding, testing, support, and backend operations, the very people who helped build the digital world now being transformed by automation. Over 1 lakh tech jobs have already disappeared in 2026 so far. And this may only be the beginning. Follow #RequiemforaDream and read more in the upcoming magazine issue as Outlook India addresses the pressure in IT with the rise of AI.

  I know it's not good to have a certain price range, but it's an emergency. I really don't want any trouble, just a little help with limited slots (5). 😭 I have Ko-fi n PayPal for international. National (Méx) will be bank transfer or OXXO.

  @Larktrades @SolanaCasinos Yes, but sometimes people run into issues. I hope to bring PayPal back as soon as possible and add even more payment methods. Most payment issues come from the banking side. From a technical standpoint, our system is working exactly as intended.

  @Judoteki @CrystalStance @Angelicarln_ Good point. I live in a state that doesn't require it. But that doesn't affect PayPal. They don't require it, regardless of what state you're in. Better to avoid *legal* trouble, though, if the state requires it.

  @RM54846 We understand how upsetting this feels — being asked to pay for items you never received, even after filing a claim with PayPal that was decided in your favor, is frustrating and unfair. We'd like to take a closer look. Please send us a DM with the phone number and email address associated with your account, also a screenshot of the error message. We'll be looking forward to your response.

  Merchants hate payment fees. Stripe: 2.9% PayPal: 3.5% $XEC eCash: 0.0001% That's not a rounding error. That's a paradigm shift. When @Coinbase Commerce supports $XEC, this becomes real for millions of merchants overnight. #XEC #eCash #CoinbaseListXEC

  @jib_loger_alt I have never used PayPal and the fact that you could exploit the refunding function to close down accounts from people asking for donations is just scummy.

  @AskPayPal Are you having issues with your 2FA text messages? I am not getting the login code (it was working fine last time I logged in on May 3). I don't have the authenticator app on the account, never set it up, and I can't contact CS because I need to be logged in

  @n1after40 Unfortunately, this issue is on the provider's side. They are already working on an update, so we'll see what they come up with. In the meantime, card payments, PayPal, and cryptocurrency payments are all working without any issues.

  This morning I asked PayPal to finally lift a 10% rolling reserve after 8 months of clean $100k+/mo in volume Few hours later… BOOM, full account limitation 😭 They wanted 6 months bank statements (easy, high 6figs on statements) Then we got hit with “Resolve an issue on a linked account” Didn’t know I had this old account… Turns out it’s from when I was still a minor Either I left a negative$1,600 balance unpaid or it got hacked (Both are 100% believable based off this email being hacked 6 years ago and me being extremely degenerate back then ) So I call the “PayPal internal collections team” to pay it off… Debt was sold 6 years ago they literally can’t credit it and I cannot pay off the balance Plus they don’t know the collection agency it was sold to 🙃 Basically when I requested the reserve release, their RETARDD automation tagged me and the main account as “fraudulent” Old acc is still permalocked No one (not even managers in collections, limitations, or exec support) knows how to fix it so they just emailed limitations team saying like this isn’t possible One thing I will say tho is I usually have a terrible ******* time calling these ******* fintech support lines, but this was quite enjoyable for reasons I cannot explain There was only one absolute retard that I had to hang up on I guess based off of my lifetime volume on Braintree and PayPal, this main account is also tagged as a “high value large enterprise client” So we have a dedicated rep at PayPal now (who hasn’t reached out yet) Literally went from a “fraud” to a “high value client” in 30mins PayPal honestly has great support, WAYYY better than Amex and those ******* pajeets over there Even the miserable ones were fun to talk to But… I do think this means that I need to get outside more - having fun talking to PayPal reps and all Kinda pathetic Issue still not guaranteed to be fixed, but I think it should be fine considering none of the reps had ever seen this before and added a bunch of notes to my case which was confirmed when I called back the limitations department So I still have time to change my mind on how I feel about PayPal support, but so far thumbs up 👍

  @TheNewRhyme Please make sure never to take big payments like that again. They’re almost always a way for people to scam you and lock down your account. It’s insane that PayPal can let somebody do this

  Elon Musk said 2008 was definitively the worst year of his life going through a divorce while simultaneously watching his companies crumble. By 37, Musk had burned through his entire PayPal fortune funding two companies at once. Tesla's early Roadster had quality problems and was hemorrhaging cash. SpaceX had failed three consecutive launches. What was supposed to happen: build rockets, change space, build electric cars, and change the automobile industry. What actually happened: three explosions and an empty bank account. In Musk's framing: "We were running on fumes at that point. We had virtually no money. A fourth failure would have been absolutely game over." Flight 4 launched September 28, 2008. It was flawless. Musk on what happened next: "NASA called and told us that we'd won a $1.5 billion contract. I couldn't even hold the phone. I just blurted out, I love you guys." Two days later, on Christmas Eve, Tesla's investors closed their round. "So you were saved in a period of three days by two completely unexpected events. Yeah. Merry Christmas. Yeah, absolutely." PS.

  Hey @PayPal, your refund system is definitely broken. How is it legal that you issue me a refund credit, then ask me for the info regarding my refund credit, and then you automatically deny my refund after you just received the very information you asked me for? Make this make sense, because this isn't right!

  Furthermore, their old PayPal link has been taken down, but I have the description saved. It went to "Ddumba Derrick": "Donate to DDUMBA DERRICK WE CAN CREATE A NEW LIFE FROM NOTHING AND CREATE NEW COMMUNITY BY DONATING TO UPLIFT THE INNOCENTS. DONATE TODAY. BE A HERO"

  The distributor explained that their PayPal account got restricted because the purchase channel was too crowded. There's no word yet on how long the fix will take. So for now, the Etsy link is available. We deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused by the independent website.
