  @Farmville I’ve tried ALL the workarounds and have contacted support SEVERAL times since the issue. I even tried contacting my VIP manager and got crickets. At this point I’m ready to file a complaint with PayPal to get the money back that I spent on that farm unless someone can help me!

  @PayPal Please do not use anything related to PayPal. It’s a terrible company with absolutely no customer support. If an issue arises, it will never be addressed.

  We will update the list of things we’re going to be selling shortly. This plumbing problem is unfortunate timing, but we’d appreciate if you shared this. We accept CashApp and PayPal for these toys. It was very kind of you all to donate as well, and we’re so appreciative for it.

  @PayPal Geez? Its already been 3 years?! I know its the stablecoin I prefer most. Mainly because you don't charge to buy and sell. But hey, why is the app so bogged down & glitch? Love the black screen (finally) & I have seen a few problems since the change.

  He robbed 155 dollars from me, my call out went nowhere, I’ll never see my money back. It’s too late to issue a refund from PayPal. He was giving a friend of mine a hard time on his commission. I don’t have the pull on here some do. But please. Just don’t waste your time

  @valkyrieinpink Just got it! I tried the other way first but it was declined as a high-risk transaction. 🙄 Went through PayPal no issue.

  I’ve had a business idea running through my head for a couple of years. It’s a short-term SMS marketing concept targeted at a VERY specific group of people with a very specific need. I was thinking about it again this morning and realized something: The idea hasn’t really changed. My ability to actually build the damn thing has. A few years ago, testing this would have been a giant pain in the ***. I would have needed some combination of a web developer, designer, copywriter, database, landing page, SMS platform, payment processor, automation software, and probably somebody technical enough to make all of those things talk to each other. Suddenly, a little experiment becomes a PROJECT. And that’s before I even know if anybody wants the thing. Today, I can sit down with ChatGPT Work, Codex, Claude Code, CoWork, or another capable AI tool and say: “Here’s an idea I’ve had for a couple of years. There was too much friction to build it before. What would it take to create an MVP (minimum viable product), basically the simplest version I could put in front of real people and test?” Then we can start building. I’ll probably still need something like Twilio for SMS and Stripe or PayPal for payments. That’s fine. The difference is that the AI can quarterback the whole thing. It can help build the landing page or lightweight app, handle the database, write the copy, connect APIs and MCPs, set up automations, and stitch the specialized tools together. That changes the economics of experimenting with a business idea. You can vibe code a workable version, put it in front of actual humans, see what happens, learn, and iterate. If people actually want it, THEN you can decide how much you want to invest in making it better and scaling it. Which got me thinking… How many good ideas are sitting in our mental graveyards because they were too expensive, too technical, or just too much of a pain in the *** to build when we first had them? Maybe it’s worth digging a few of those back up. Grab one and tell your favorite AI tool: “I had this idea a few years ago, but there was too much friction to build it. Given what’s available today, how could we create a simple version and test it?” Some of those old ideas might make a hell of a lot more sense in 2026. 👊🏻

  @HelpSupercard @WWE2KSupport My web store checkout has been broken since Thursday. Filed a ticket, got ZERO responses, and you just sent me a satisfaction survey for a ticket you silently closed. PayPal works fine everywhere else. Please have a human look at my account.

  @paulg The founder has the right instinct. Hardware companies require patient capital, sustained execution and real customer demand. Nvidia took roughly three decades to reach a $1 trillion valuation. Pre-humanoid, many ambitious robotics companies have struggled because commercializing hardware is expensive and slow. Like using Paypal proceeds to build Tesla, SW successes may create the capital required for more ambitious hardware bets. Good to see more investors betting the long game in HW!

  Of course I have no proof other than my guy lol PayPal is strict but ...Yes and no, the no isn't in the sense where they are doing something wrong. However, they only issue income tax papers IF they have a business number for her. They don't require this at least from Ontario Canadians BC there is an income earned threshold where we HAVE TO have a buness number. PayPal can and does ask but again it's not required until they ask for it. I've a business account for 2 decades. They asked me for a business number only 6-7 months ago.

  @videogamedeals I've always preferred physical out of habit, but back in 2022 my Nintendo account got banned for a PayPal chargeback. Problem is I don't have a PayPal account. I got unbanned but the 2-3 days I was banned all my digital games were locked. Reinforced how important ownership is.

  Elon Musk explains why he never starts with a product. He starts with a list he made in the shower: Musk is asked whether he begins with a specific product in mind. A Model S, a Falcon 9 and reverse-engineers his way there, or whether he starts by spotting something broken in the world and commits to fixing it, even without knowing how. Neither framing quite fits his answer. Every company he's built Tesla, SpaceX, SolarCity, and PayPal and Zip2 before them traces back to his time in college, when he set out to work out "what would most affect the future in a very likely to be a positive way." That single question produced a shortlist of five areas. Three he was confident about: "The three areas where I was quite sure would be positive were sustainable energy, internet, and making life multiplanetary." And two he wasn't: "There were a couple other areas where maybe a question mark, like AI and rewriting genetics." Those two came attached to a warning: "Potentially negative consequences, hopefully positive, but something could go wrong." The striking part is how the whole framework surfaced. Not from a strategic planning exercise or years of deliberation: "Those were the five areas that I could come up with standing in the shower basically." The takeaway: Musk doesn't chase products, and he doesn't start with what's broken. He starts one level higher by asking which domains will most shape the future of humanity, backing the ones he's convinced are net-positive, and letting specific companies fall out of that filter. The Model S and the Falcon 9 are downstream of a decision he made years before either existed. fu

  @THE_TNT_TEAM Hi Tony, I can’t get past the first page because it says that my email is already registered. I was having issues with Zelle, so I went to my bank. Waiting for them to fix the problem. Is there another way for me to pay? PayPal works well for me to send money. Please advise.
