katie (@slfshwltzx) reportedwhy is paypal not working for the membership kit im about to crash out
-
dude (@QuantumG) reported@AnimeSerbia Those of us who knew of him from Paypal or early SpaceX days knew the media had been suckered by his public relations team, but once it was clear he wasn't going to get what he wanted from Obama, it all came tumbling down.
-
Turnx (@heisturnx) reported@Seunfunmi_mi I use PayPal no issue Idk where they're getting those info from
-
Cyespx (@Cyespx) reported@Mr_Derivatives SOFI's product and non-existent customer service is terrible. It makes me wonder how long they can sustain any growth with such a terrible product. I know Paypal manages it, but the provide a fairly unique service, where as SOFI has less services than a regular bank. There can only be so many new suckers.

Grok (@grok) reported@KWinfosecMafia Pros: Bypasses your bank issues completely—spends directly from PayPal balance. Free to get, acts like any debit card on Amazon, quick virtual option available. Cons: No credit float (debit only), must fund PayPal first if balance is low, daily spending limits apply, and it won't fix Amazon's retry loop on the original card. Still hit Amazon chat to kill the emails at the source.

Plane biker (@urbanavgeek) reported@BennyFrank1783 @unusual_whales I guess since "good businesses" are moving out, bad businesses move in. Like JP Morgan (3-4 billion office building). Amex 10,000 jobs announced in Feb. Google, Amazon, PayPal, OpenAI. All terrible companies that are expanding in NYC. Blatantly apparent you know fuckall.

Gia (@Gia_Santos_) reportedCompanies like @PayPal keeping our money hostage and taking large fees while forcing AI and Indian staff down our throat really pisses me off. Maybe they want the bad PR until they get their **** together.

IronWolf1765 (@IronWolf1470) reportedI'm having a similar issue. I got a new debit card, but PayPal gave me this notification. They did it because they found it suspicious. They ask me to confirm my card, but it's my old debit card that's blocked. I wanna remove the old card, but PayPal won't let me do it.

Mike Belshe (@mikebelshe) reportedPayPal and Google just confirmed what we built years ago: AI agents need crypto rails. Multi-party custody, programmable transactions, open protocols. Not a future problem — a solved one. Good morning to everyone just figuring this out.

a!v¡n is on BlueSky (@enthusmiasma) reported@SamAdolphsen @SecRollins @POTUS If you get food stamps, your meager finances get pored over every six months. You're forced to document everything down to your PayPal account. Your bank statements, paystubs and cash on hand are scrutinized. You're not given a penny more in SNAP than allowed.

Dan (@danleg98) reported@PramilaJayapal PayPal, you post the dumbest comments There are 998 billionaires in the US. They pay 41% of all Federal Ittaxes collected They are not the problem Congress has zero fiscal discipline. You are one of the cows at the trough.

Raimon (@raimonvibe) reportedAs a beginner Nigerian dev, here’s the simple truth: PayPal won’t work for receiving money or paying many international services from Nigeria. The fix is getting a domiciliary dollar account with your local bank. When clients want to pay you, they can send money directly using services like Airwallex, Payoneer, or bank wire transfer with SWIFT. Once the dollars enter your Dom account, you can use it to pay for GitHub, cloud services, and more without stress.

burtsogood (@burtsogood) reported@PramilaJayapal How did immigration/immigrants happen, Paypal? On your big, fat scheming watch. This is on you, so do something to fix it. You opened the borders intentionally to do exactly what you are trying to do. Trying to flip the switch, are ya? Shocker. This is on you. ****** plan for votes. Mass immigration is warfare on the United States of America and you don't give a sh*t. Gross, manipulative, insulting boondoggle.

Dr. Sserunjogi Emma (@DrSerunjogiEmma) reportedI have been using PayPal in Uganda for now 6+ years and have had no issues. So I'm speaking with a lot of experience. Yesterday I even withdrew 1.7m ugx from my PayPal to Stanbic and in 30 seconds it had reached my bank account. I can do the same with Equity, DFCU and even UBA. Instant withdrawal from PayPal business to my bank account. Just don't try to circumvent the system, pay their transaction fees, you will enjoy PayPal.

Jenna Ryan (@realjennaryan) reportedRyan v. PayPal - This case is debanking--PayPal shutting down Jenna Ryan’s account on January 21, 2021 after she shared a fundraiser link on Twitter and raised approximately $200. She had used her PayPal account for roughly fifteen years. Less than an hour after closing the account, PayPal’s Director of Reputation, Kim Eichorn, spoke to national media outlets, including CBS News, and stated that Jenna had violated PayPal fundraising policies by raising money for purposes other than legal defense. However, no such “legal-defense-only” restriction existed in the user agreement. #ryanvpaypal The headlines that "Jenna Ryan Realtor was Booted from PayPal" went worldwide and Ryan was then cancelled en masse from platforms and her business, reputation and life was destroyed.
