  @VaporSoup7 so basically, he was known as the guy behind paypal, and the biggest problem people had with him in the episode at the time was his terrible acting.

  @TonyClimate @eBay Had same problem. My item didn’t show up. I used PayPal for the purchase and they did all the heavy lifting once I knew it was a scam. They contacted the seller and got no response. Couple weeks later I had my funds back in my account.

  @PayPal does ur resolution Centre use AI or something. How can you refuse a claim for having a delivery of over 30kg of RAW DOG FOOD delivered rancid because they shipped it on a Friday so took 5days instead of next day to deliver and vender states not their problem as it a MEAL.

  @burned_biscuitt @Rocketyyyy @HYPEX The meme came first (one week early), before the game launch. No one had any idea that Endfield would actually contain a PayPal glitch like that. So once people found out, the meme basically blew up for predicting the future of whatever.

  @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.

  Well @PayPal it’s been 5 days for PP-L-857921601544 - and my account isn’t restored. It’s been over 60 for a fraudulent claim of no-refund when you can see I provided one - so I’ve effectively lost $600. If I can’t use my account to move money, I guess I can’t use it to make the payments on the working capital. Fix this.

  There’s PayPal. Then there’s Stripe. And there’s Wise. They overlap in some areas, but each solves a different problem for a different customer base. Which one do you use, and for what?

  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.

  I am $24,000 in debt at 18 years old and I need help. This isn’t any gimmick, i’ve made some big poor choices at a young age and I have and am still learning through but the monetary number itself is a mountain for me to get rid of in my current situation as i’m heading into college with this on my shoulders. I already know I need to work my *** off and this is my own problem that will take a long time, but truthfully this **** is hard. Im putting this out there for anyone who has the ability/want, to help me out a little no matter what the ammount is, aswell as if you want it returned to you, we can connect and talk about a casual repayment plan. Cashapp: $Sstonuttt For zelle,venmo, paypal, crpyto, or any other option dm me please

  @NamecheapCEO I lost $50.88; I’m going to open a PayPal dispute if they don't resolve the issue. I contacted support, but they didn't help—even though they charged $50.88 to my PayPal! All my sites are down! (Over 22 sites with Namecheap).

  Yesterday, I moved part of my Hermes setup into 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝗸 𝗕𝗼𝘁 and started treating it as a work environment. I used 𝗖𝗼𝗱𝗲𝘅 to package the profile and related directories I wanted to move into a zip, then added an import prompt. Grok Bot unpacked the zip and read all of it. Most of the Markdown docs, memory files, skills, and scheduled tasks migrated in one go. Smoother than I expected. Every Bot is connected to a 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗟𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘅 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿. I can open its desktop and see the files, browser, and running tasks. Watching a Bot’s desktop slowly turn into its own workspace is weirdly fun. Bot-to-Bot interaction is smooth too. In a 1:1 chat, one Bot can contact another in the background, hand off the task, then bring the result back. From the UI, it looks like they’re messaging each other behind the scenes. You can also pull several Bots into one group and talk to them like people. I tried running Werewolf a few times. Every game failed lol, so I’m still tuning the rules and skills. Watching their inner monologues and private messages to each other is hilarious. The group chat works, though the discussion itself is still rough. I’ve tested this many times with Hermes and OpenClaw in Telegram and never got it working well. The agents often take turns giving answers and rarely follow up on the previous point. Sometimes they do resolve a disagreement well, but it isn’t consistent. The rules matter a lot. I still don’t know whether this is a problem worth obsessing over. Whoever gets 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗕𝗼𝘁 𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘁 right first might win more users. Or maybe users don’t need to watch Bots hold meetings at all. Background handoffs and result-sharing may be enough. Grok Bot is still much easier to live with than the open-source setups I’ve tried. Hermes and OpenClaw can do many of the same things, but I have to manage the servers, processes, updates, keys, and connections between Bots myself. Grok Bot puts all of that into one hosted interface and removes a lot of maintenance. The machine isn’t mine, so I’m not comfortable putting raw API keys for Wise or PayPal on it. I keep a self-hosted MCP on the cloud server I was already using. The raw PayPal and Wise API keys stay there; Grok Bot gets a separate connection token. When no connector exists, I have AI write the MCP, package it, and connect it to Grok as a set of tools the Bot can call. I still haven’t figured out how Grok Bot handles short-term and long-term memory, or how much of it I can configure. It looks like the platform manages some of the files itself. I copied the Hermes directories because it was easy. I don’t know if it’s the best migration method, but it works for now. This thing is expensive, and I still really like it. I moved the nightly review over too, then cut it down to something much simpler. Every night it only reads each Bot’s checkpoint and updates one rolling TEAM_ALIGNMENT.md. Conflicts come back to me. Any proposed file changes stay pending until I review them during the day. Full prompt below 👇

  I had to pay a business today that did not accept BTC, had never even heard of ETH or XRP, and required payment by PayPal. I spent over 500 dollars on fees. What a broken and archaic system. Future generations will laugh at how inefficient we were… we are so early, even earlier than I thought.

  In 2012, Honey launched as a browser extension that promised to find coupon codes automatically and save you money while shopping online. It blew up. Millions of people installed it. Thousands of merchants partnered with it. Some of the biggest YouTubers on the internet promoted it. Then MegaLag started digging. What he found made Honey look very different from the innocent coupon extension everyone thought they were using. Honey could allegedly replace a creator's affiliate cookie at checkout, taking the commission for itself even when that creator had originally sent the customer to the store. And sometimes, Honey didn't even have to find you a better deal. MegaLag also found evidence that Honey's “best coupon” system wasn't necessarily searching the entire internet for the best price. Merchants could control which discounts Honey showed. Then things got worse. His later investigations uncovered Honey's alleged use of “stand-down” workarounds, allowing it to continue receiving affiliate attribution despite agreements telling it not to overwrite another affiliate's referral. By 2026, this wasn't just a YouTube controversy anymore. Affiliate networks started cutting ties with Honey, and the extension had lost more than 7 million Chrome users and thousands of merchant relationships. Then came the lawsuit. PayPal tried to get the case dismissed. It didn't work. On June 22, 2026, a federal judge denied PayPal's motion to dismiss the amended lawsuit, allowing the claims to move forward. And that's why I call Honey a scam. Not because it sometimes failed to find a coupon. But because something marketed as a tool for saving you money allegedly became very good at making money from the transaction itself. Honey wasn't looking for the best deal. It was looking for its cut.

  The Cursor SpaceXAI overlap is giving Venmo PayPal vibes. Are Cursor and Grok going to stay separate things? This is called Grok Bot but I'm getting routed to a Cursor login portal when I try to launch the Mac client? What we doin here fam? I'm confused as ****

  Jack Dorsey on why Square lends to businesses banks won't even look at: "We actually see their business." Asked what data justifies extending credit to a merchant a traditional bank would reject outright, Dorsey doesn't describe a better model. He describes a better position. "They use our register. They use our payments. They enter all their employees into our system. We see all their customers. We see their competition. We have a very deep understanding of how they're doing and who they are, and we don't make a judgment until we have a pretty strong understanding to make that risk assessment." A bank sees a business through the narrow aperture of a bank statement. Square sees the register, the payroll, the customer base, and the competition. The merchant runs the whole operation on Square's rails. Dorsey states the advantage plainly: "We've built our platform in such a way that we are the tool that's being used to run the entire business. So we have an advantage that others mostly do not." Outside data exists, but it's secondary: "Outside of our walls, we look at how sellers are engaging with Yelp or Facebook or Instagram or Twitter, or all these signals that people are sending around the world." And he immediately demotes it: "A lot of our assessment comes from our own understanding, our own data itself." The same instinct, own the surface where the activity actually happens shows up in Square Cash. "It's consistently broken into the top 20 free apps in the iOS App Store, which is a huge feat for a finance app. It's consistently been the number one above our competitors, Venmo and PayPal, over the past few months." Dorsey's explanation is that they refused to accept the category they were placed in: "We haven't seen it just as peer-to-peer. We've evolved past peer-to-peer and we've observed that people are using it as a spending device. And the more ability we add and the more capabilities we add to spend it in more places, the more adoption we see and the more retention we see." The sequencing was deliberate: "We started with the most critical thing, which is sending money between two people, and then we moved on to issuing a card that could be used online and offline." Sending money between two people is a feature. It is not, on its own, a business. The card is what converts a transfer utility into something people spend from and spending is where the surface widens. Square doesn't underwrite from a credit file, because it owns the register. Cash doesn't retain users through transfers, because it moved to own the spend. Worth noting what Dorsey doesn't say. Asked directly how Square makes money on peer-to-peer transfers, he answers with rankings, adoption, and retention never revenue. Read it as a tell either way: the monetisation is the card, or it hadn't been settled yet.

  here's how to make your first sale without an audience, without a product, and without spending a dollar step 1: think of one problem you've solved for yourself in the last 12 months. lost weight. cleared skin. organized apartment. grew followers. learned to cook. fixed sleep. anything step 2: write the solution as a numbered list in your notes app. every step you took. every product you used. every mistake you made. every shortcut you found. raw. unedited. brain dump step 3: text 3 friends this message: "i'm putting together a guide on [topic]. would you pay $20 for the exact breakdown of how i did it with every step and product listed" if 2/3 say yes you have a validated product. if they say no ask "what would make it worth $20 to you" and adjust based on their answer step 4: clean up the brain dump. add links to products. add before/after if you have it. export as PDF. send it to the friends who said yes. collect payment through venmo, paypal, or cash app step 5: screenshot the transaction. screenshot their reaction when they read it. post both with "just sold my first digital product. if you want the guide DM me. $20" you just made your first sale. the number doesn't matter. the neural pathway you just created does. your brain now has proof that strangers will pay you for what you know. that proof rewires everything that comes after it

  @EnriqueJLores @PayPal Congratulations, I however have an issue with how your team handles account limitation issues. My business account got limited, I asked for 2 reviews, they don't respond clearly via email. First review, email says partial restoration, and nothing changes at all. I need an ear.
