  Currently, to prevent problems, we are only accepting requests via X DM from individuals whose online activity on platforms such as streaming and video can be verified, and only with a "full prepayment via PayPal/no illustration revisions" system.

  Three men. Three centuries. Three fortunes that each built the infrastructure of their age. JOHN JACOB ASTOR (1763 to 1848). The first millionaire. A German immigrant who arrived in New York at 21 with nothing. He cornered the North American fur trade through the American Fur Company, then walked away from it in the 1830s, exactly when the cycle was peaking, and reinvested every dollar into Manhattan real estate. He bought farmland and woods that are now Midtown. By the time he died in 1848, his estate was worth more than the entire United States Treasury. His advice was a single sentence: "Buy every foot of land on the Island of Manhattan." JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER (1839 to 1937). The first billionaire. He did not invent oil. He invented operational efficiency. He cut the cost of refining a gallon of kerosene from 3 cents to under 1, undercut every competitor on price, and consolidated the entire American oil industry under Standard Oil. By 1880 he controlled 90% of US refining. The Supreme Court broke up Standard Oil in 1911. The breakup made him richer. The parts were worth more than the whole. He crossed a billion in 1916 at age 77. Then spent the next 21 years giving most of it away. The University of Chicago, Rockefeller University and the Rockefeller Foundation all exist because of that second chapter. ELON MUSK (1971 to present). The first trillionaire. PayPal taught him software. SpaceX gave him orbit. Reusable rockets cut the cost of mass to space by 90 percent. Tesla made electric vehicles mainstream and became the most valuable car company in history. He layered xAI, Neuralink, The Boring Company and Tesla Energy on top. Each company solves a different hard physical problem. Launch. AI. Tunnelling. Brain interfaces. Energy storage. The trillion was not a stock price. It was the sum of someone betting on every one of the next century's infrastructure problems at the same time. THE PATTERN Astor solved how to settle a continent. Rockefeller solved how to fuel the industrial age. Musk is solving how to leave one planet for many. Every century, capitalism adds a zero. Every century, the zero gets built by the person willing to bet on the infrastructure nobody else dared to build. The fourth zero will not be made on this planet.

  I find the Elon hate so funny. People can’t compliment his work without the disclaimer “I don’t like him BUT…” Relax. The guy made $180M from PayPal and put THE WHOLE thing back into building the next thing. He made all of Tesla’s electric vehicle patents public allowing for competition. And his SpaceX IPO has made 4,400 employees millionaires who otherwise wouldn’t be. So if you’re angry about him becoming the world’s first trillionaire because ‘nobody should be that rich’ or you don’t like his opinions… Remember he’s probably working harder than most of us today not relaxing on a yacht somewhere. And if everyone shared the same opinions the world would be seriously dull. Let’s take the lessons and learn from his success instead of putting him down to make ourselves look good. You can learn from him without liking him or agreeing with him. I think it’s probably smart to do so.

  Tried moving money out of PayPal Business. Even Gemini 3.5 Flash Extended couldn’t explain it after a long back-and-forth, even with full access to PayPal docs and Reddit. PayPal, your documentation and UX are broken: if an LLM cannot get it, regular users have zero chance.

  @PayPal @AskPayPal Please restart your operations in Türkiye. We don't want to deal with @Payoneer, which charges exorbitant fees and causes problems. I will continue writing every day until you restart your operations in Türkiye.

  It’s interesting that fintech didn’t start out tight at women receiving money for nothing and calling it **********. Some of the established women still have no issue using Paypal or Stripe… but 0th3r$

  @Pasta_Eclipse Hi!! If you got it through PayPal it'll say it charged the full amount but it only actually took the $3! If it's showing up in your bank that it took the full amount tho that sometimes happens as a glitch, and you should get a refund any minute, it's the same thing uber does 1/2

  @What_is_Praise @catturd2 It’s a terrible process. After I complained enough I got a letter from PayPal basically telling me to sue the buyer if I felt cheated.

  @HoweyJohnn34169 Thank you for the feedback. I suggest considering the affiliate program which is the next release and will be launched imminently… three referrals brings the cost of membership down to zero and from there its 40% of every recurring monthly fee that Vivé receives from every referral paid directly via Payoneer (we chose them because PayPal is dying and doesn’t operate here but they offer exactly same services) and straight to your bank account from there… every referral can start referring as well (instantly) with a live membership All details are on the website and inside the platform under the Affiliates tab

  Serious question... Has PayPal ALWAYS been this ******* ****? Locked out of my account for 24 hours. Rang the helpline - 'Sorry, there's nothing we can do, we're having issues with our system.' A score of 1.3 on Trustpilot seems generous.

  @FTC I am following up on an official complaint I filed with your office a few years ago. I continue to experience issues with several companies that appear to block or withhold funds through their policies or technology. These companies include Gmail, Cash App, PayPal, and X (formerly Twitter). Cash App is embedded within the X platform, yet after years they still claim I never received funds that should have reached me. I strongly suspect fabricated transaction numbers or records, which I believe constitutes fraud. These actions have resulted in the loss of life-changing sums of money due to what appears to be poor policy enforcement and/or malfeasance. I respectfully request that the FTC investigate these companies for unfair and deceptive practices. Please advise on the status of my prior complaint and what additional documentation or steps are needed to move forward. Thank you for your assistance. Joshua Lowden @Telephantix

  @George_Dubs_ @realroseceline I think the issue for PayPal on ads is people open PayPal/Venmo for a few seconds to pay for something they’ve already decided to buy, it's hard to capture someone's attention in that brief moment. Whereas people log onto Facebook/insta and doom scroll and can be inspired to buy
