  @thinkmoney I do not know what you guys have done, but the recent system update, has broken my ability to add money to any service such as PayPal or pay my credit card. Both trying to use my debit card. This is extemely upsetting because it basically means that I will need to find a different way to add money to these accounts. The problem stems from payment authorisation. Before, it used to show the authorise notification in the Thinkmoney app. It never gets this far now because the Mastercard ID authorisation never completes. I phoned your support line and they said that there is no record on my account of any authorisation. So the problem stems from the service trying to authenticate with Mastercard. Can you please tell me why this system is now broken, and when you plan to resolve it?

  Everyone's talking about fully automating their ad accounts with AI. I think that's a mistake. Here's why. When PayPal was getting destroyed by fraud in the early days, they had a hacker named Igor who kept breaking through. They tried full automation to stop him. It didn't work. Actually caused more problems. So they tested something different. Algorithm plus human. AI flagged the patterns. Humans made the calls. That combination is what eventually became Palantir. One of the biggest AI companies in the world. And they still use that same model today. AI with human workflow. And that makes sense if you think about it. If everyone has access to the same AI tools and everyone automates the same way, that just becomes the floor. The baseline. The minimum. So where does the edge come from? Not from automating everything. From automating the right pinch points and keeping humans in the loop for the decisions that actually matter. I built a creative analysis tool that pulls 90 days of ad data, transcribes videos, generates scene notes, and maps performance to patterns. That used to take 6 hours manually. Now it runs in the background in 15 to 50 minutes. But I still sit down and interpret it. I still make the calls on what to test next. The AI compresses the grunt work. The human finds the alpha. Everyone's racing to remove themselves from the process entirely. I'm racing to stay in it. Just at a higher level.

  @MissNikkiNY This statement is very incorrect thousands of persons purchase daily. For the said event tickets are selling seamlessly..... This was not a frontline issue. Paypal also confirmed same... as you were advised. Also just to note frontline or no platform can access YOUR email.....

  Getting paid online is stressful—fees, delays, PayPal issues. Tried @looftapaytoday. Create a payment link in seconds, get paid from different chains/tokens, and receive what you choose. No wallet needed. Username = payment address. Private payments powered by @magicblock

  @PayPal @Starlink Hey @PayPalUK, your dispute system is broken. A seller is offering a £35 refund but requiring me to return a £130 watch. Your agent Ayesha says 'Full Refund' but the screen says £35. This is facilitating merchant fraud.

  PayPal is pushing SHARPLY higher on a CNBC report suggesting that new CEO Enrique Lores plans on separating Venmo into its own business unit! This could make the Venmo business easier to sell later down the line.

  @AskPayPal Hi @AskPayPal My PayPal account was taken over. I cannot login because the hacker changed my email and phone. I need help recovering access. I can provide ID and proof of ownership. I can’t community with support by phone.

  @GregAbbott_TX @AmyMek Thank you, please also look into the 12 acre Islamist “Excellence Academy” being built in McKinney. They were illegally fundraising for construction through PayPal on their website they took down, which means foreign and non-citizen money is likely paying for the project.

  @Poulpxlu as soon as a server or a confederation is involved it's a scam for box purists. you will never change that .

  So @PayPalUK @PayPal have let a scammer who was able to infiltrate their system including SMS to take 797£ out of my nominated bank account. I have tried three times to raise the case and each time they say it’s a legitimate transaction. Terrible service from @PayPalUK

  @karomancer That's the current problem with social media. Hard to tell if a person is an actual person, a scammer or a bot. That's why more people are reliant on middleman services because scammers want to do business directly through services like paypal compared to gumroad or shopify.

  Grok answer when I ask how to use Paypal to go Premium on X: - "Some users in regions with card issues use virtual/prepaid cards or other local methods." Me thinking: - "As a company ran by a Paypal co-founder, what do you mean? He's talking about setting up a colony on Mars!"

  Switching your PayPal account to a business account is a terrible idea unless you have very detailed documentation of what you're selling and you have receipts of cost of goods and sales. PayPal will shut your account down and take all the money out of your account and ban you for life. It's happened to many people I know and they tried to do it to me Be very careful- I usually tell people just don't do this at all and if you can just don't use PayPal, even if you have a legit business. Also you're not going to stay anonymous on an invoice. If you did, when they demand you send them all this documentation (and they will), you won't have any way to prove it's even you.

  @KaranSharma1008 @Prayag_Krishna Why do you have problem with money? That guy is the richest man on this planet. Will he have shortage of money? He created money by launching PayPal and selling it for millions. Then investing in Tesla then owning it, then creating spaceX and other things. Where did he cheat?

  Ok ok / testing the intelligence offering $10 Million and a pretty truck now who's the stupid ****? Children are smarter than you. Time to pony up. That bullshit 'get me a card' game.. then look at that PAYPAL at the center again you are next my ignorant friend. JUST LIKE YOU HOTMAIL.. why every day do I need to fix my password? Is it because you ensure control by saving my password only on my device? That way the password really wasn't changed in your system / allowing me in only during that log-in so you maintain control to my account. How then can you offer 'security' to people when you are crooked? Answer now to the world. REVELATIONS
