  Facebook market place reselling flip this week: $1500 - buy price $2700 - sell price $1200 - net profit Dell Poweredge Server R730xd w/ 768GB RAM (24x32GB) When I saw this post to fb I had to get the exact RAM config right away. Seller was fast and once I had the exact specs I text a pic to my memory buyer. He came back with a $100 per module. Right away I knew I could spend $1500 and get $2400 on the RAM. I offer $1200 on the server. Saw that the seller had seen the message but no response. Waited two hours but didn't want to loose the sale. Offered asking price and arranged to meet that evening. Ate a little on paypal fees for the $2400 but the buyer covers the minimal shipping charge. Will sell the server on fb marketplace for around $300. Quick flip. Electronics aren't the easiest resell but if you know what you're looking at then there can be a lot of upside. Definitely not a resale asset class to sleep on.

  @burned_biscuitt @Rocketyyyy @HYPEX There was actually a PayPal payment glitch when Arknights: Endfield launched back in January. Some players were charged for purchases they didn’t make because PayPal transactions were incorrectly matched, and around 1,800 players were affected.

  @CryptoTweets PayPal turning down $53B feels like a big flex or a big mistake.

  I need to stress that this is NOT Anti-X on my part. This is constructive criticism: this is clearly something that's broken (another follow of mine is getting almost all of her posts blurred, including a static photo of a kitten). And I'm currently going to have to ask PayPal Credit for a refunds on an xAI Supergrok that has been being billed two months after I canceled it. It's not unreasonable to ask for guarantees of safety and to fix demonstrable failures that could block access to private property before committing our money to you, even in an app we like and yse daily.

  @Emistations @PayPal @AskPayPal I remember facing this same problem, all because someone put a message in the transaction (Yeah. Any message they put there just straight up screws your acc). I ended up having to switch to a new email and a Paypal Business acc.

  CBS filmed a 27-year-old Elon Musk sleeping in his office in 1998 and 18 months later he sold the company for $307M Rita Braver brings a Sunday Morning crew to Palo Alto. Bad haircut. Cheap suit. He shows them the couch he sleeps on and the YMCA down the street where he showers. The company is Zip2. Maps, directions, yellow pages, white pages - the first versions of all of it on the internet, sold to newspapers that still print on paper. He wrote the code himself in 1995, at 23, weeks after walking out of a Stanford PhD. No web server, because a web server burns CPU he doesn't have. He reads port 8080 directly. No money for a Cisco T1 router. He pulls the spec sheet and writes his own emulator. Braver asks him about the internet. He calls it the superset of all media. Says television, print and radio all collapse into one pipe. Two-way. On demand. Whatever you want, whenever you want it. In 1998, that sounds like a kid who read too many magazines. The segment airs. The tape goes in a box. 1999: Compaq buys Zip2 for $307M . His cut is about $22M . He doesn't buy a house. He puts it into Xcom. Xcom becomes PayPal. PayPal becomes the money that starts SpaceX and Tesla. 26 years later somebody uploads the tape to YouTube. 23,000 views. The odd part isn't that he was right about the internet. It's that nobody in that room believed him, and it cost him 0 seconds. He wasn't predicting the future. He was describing his own desk.

  You know, since PayPal blocked my account with money in it and there is nothing I can do about it, I have been wondering how we are victims of the systems of this world and sometimes there is nothing we can do. Imagine how one simple block can take you back to finding a way to eat and finding a way to restart your business again !! And this is a sign one day ,Your money won't be safe in the bank .. You will need a chip to use banks . This thing called money. You cannot appeal. You cannot withdraw your money. You cannot access what belongs to you. And eventually, they can use the money to pay their charges and fees. It is unfortunate that even as children of God, we are still living within these systems. And experiences like this make me think deeply: How many people will survive when the mark of the beast is introduced? Today, it may be a financial platform blocking your account. Tomorrow, it could be a law. A rule. A digital system. A currency. A condition attached to your ability to buy or sell. Think about it. When laws and rules are established, what happens when you cannot follow them? What happens when a new digital currency comes with instructions and conditions? What happens when the system says, “If you don't accept this, you cannot buy. You cannot sell. You cannot transact. You cannot live normally.” And what happens when obedience to that system means disobedience to God? This is why the issue of the mark of the beast should not be treated as a joke or something we only talk about in church. Revelation 13:17 says that no one will be able to buy or sell unless they have the mark, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. I don't know exactly how everything will unfold. But I know this: The world is becoming increasingly dependent on systems. And when systems control access to money, businesses, food, transactions, and even basic necessities, we need to understand the times we are living in. As Christians, we cannot put our ultimate trust in money, banks, governments, companies, digital platforms, or financial systems. Our ultimate trust must be in God. Because there may come a time when choosing God will cost you something. It may cost you access. It may cost you comfort. It may cost you money. It may cost you opportunities. And ultimately, it may cost you your life. The question is not only, “Will I survive financially?” The deeper question is: “Will I remain faithful to God when obedience becomes costly?” May God prepare us spiritually. May He give us discernment. May He give us courage. May He give us the grace to stand when the systems of this world turn against those who refuse to compromise. Because at the end of everything, our hope is not in money. Our hope is in God.

  @mags_b22 @Dominos_UK Same, I just had it authorised. Called up and member of staff said that there is issues with the bank cards as well as Paypal. My family and I never experienced this before, now we will have to wait nearly 30 days for our money back due to the Authorisation Pending.

  𝗘𝗹𝗼𝗻 𝗠𝘂𝘀𝗸 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗰𝘆. 𝗦𝗶𝘅 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗚𝗠 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗱. By the end of 2008, Tesla had roughly $9M left in the bank. SpaceX had just survived its third consecutive rocket failure in a row. Musk had already put over $100M of his PayPal money into both companies, and was personally so cash-poor he was borrowing money from friends to cover rent. “I remember waking up the Sunday before Christmas in 2008, and thinking to myself, man, I never thought I was someone who could ever be capable of a nervous breakdown. I felt this is the closest I’ve ever come, because it seemed pretty dark.” A last-minute financing round, pulled together by existing investors, closed at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, 2008. “That funding round completed 6pm on Christmas Eve in 2008. Last hour of last day possible, as investors were leaving town that night and we were 3 days away from bankruptcy.” Days earlier, on December 23, NASA had awarded SpaceX a $1.6B cargo resupply contract, its first major win after three straight Falcon 1 failures. The Department of Energy’s ATVM program, created that same year to fund fuel-efficient vehicle development, eventually gave Tesla access to a loan facility as well, money the company only drew down starting in 2010, once it was reimbursing actual invoices rather than surviving on the promise of it. Six months later, in June 2009, General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, needing a federal bailout to survive. Musk has called 2008 the worst year of his life. He was also getting divorced at the same time. Tesla didn’t file. It went public a year later.

  @coinbureau PayPal stock is down almost 90% from its 2021 peak and they just turned down $53B to hold out for $70/share. That's not leverage, that's betting the turnaround works before Stripe walks. We'll know within a year.

  @PayPal @Mastercard Would instantly lock you out of buying anything cause that's how PayPal works, first use would lock you out and then close your account out even if it's LEGIT cause PayPal uses AI for everything and there's number 1 major issue there, PayPay was good before AI.

  @TheeDegenBoosts @rebetapp That’s why I NEVER leave my money anywhere where it isn’t insured by the FDIC/SIPC. Not PayPal, Venmo, or a gambling site. Youre just asking for trouble. Sucks how these companies operate
