  @MDtruthss @surfranchvibes If this were true, he would have just simply invested the cash from Zip2 or PayPal and lived a better life than 99.9% of people. He's interested in solving large problems to benefit humanity; that's pretty clear.

  @Natsuken425 @ABrinstar @hafuma Yes? Every payment goes through paypal, the thing we're talking about. Aka every payment through paypal gets taxed. What do you think they go through? Your mother? Jeetskin, you're retarded as ****, settle down, drink your cow piss, eat your curry and follow the train.

  I opened a PayPal account through paga. I was asked to submit a verification ID, which I did. Next thing I saw was that my account has been permanently deactivated. Why. We thought there won't be issues opening PayPal through paga. That was what you told us... @paga

  @PayPal @PayPal Seeing multiple users report the same issue here. Still no response! My money is now blocked (“on hold”, in ur language) for 180 days, with no clear way to appeal, no human support. Is this how you handle customers? When will this be resolved? 2/2

  @TrendsetterKE @Safaricom_Care @C_NyaKundiH Nkt. Stop talking out of ignorance, idiot. The opened case is the dispute I filed with PayPal and my exact issue is the pending response from the counterparty which has exceeded the timeline.

  @Moty_201 @Twitch Yes! They told me they could not refund the payout nor and the only advice they had is contact Paypal if I was having issues with my Paypal account. I told them…you do realize it is NOT my paypal and it was some hacker who got past your 2FA who changed it? Their response was “we are investigating”.

  @beanyzilla @ACGGoods Weirdly mine also showed me being charged (or 'payment pending') the full amount at the time of the preorder, but now since the apparent PayPal refund it only shows the down payment in my bank account, so it may be worth double checking for any and all transactions with ACGGoods

  @pnkplasticfangs honestly that's fair, I think the issue is the fact that paypal generally is harder to use for international users because of that fact, in my experience a lot of ppl internationally just have the convenience of getting money immediately and in high amounts in conversion so+

  Erghhh so slow processing. It’s been more than 3h. I hate that I can’t buy eshop credit using paypal anymore just bc it’s not supported here like 🖕 It worked just fine years ago. Can’t even purchase using debit card. One of the downside of buying Switch games.

  @bubblegum711971 The PayPal algorithm will look for keywords like 'commission' or 'artwork' because they're trying to crack down on people using the app for NSFW commissions So long as you make it look like the payments are all for regular stuff, you should be safe

  I have a website for CHL training for Oregon. A couple of weeks ago I had problems with the payment system (PayPal) and so rapidly added Stripe payments. The PayPal problem was resolved, and I left both systems live. Most people seem to prefer Stripe, and the CC fees are lower with Stripe. I don't think I want to maintain two payment systems long term, and am leaning towards going with Stripe only. Any comments/comments?

  @gy_sup @kianamosser Yeah I think so too, personally I haven’t had any issue using a PayPal business account as an individual for earning like $100 here and there. But it seems like a lot of the people getting their accounts shut down are making a lot more and it gets flagged as “suspicious” 😔

  Having had issues with Musk's former money platform (PayPal), I wouldn't touch XMoney with a barge-poll. Imagine having your funds frozen for months because AI thinks your post was "hateful" or falsely identified an image as CSAM.

  I am tired of modern life for another reason. Every product needs a PhD just to be able to use it. It is impossible to turn on the TV at a friend's place. On a Tesla, you don't know how to open the glove compartment or turn on the wipers, or blow the air in your face. Netflix keeps telling me that this device - my TV- is not authorized. I have to go through hoops to get it reinstalled. One time I had to call customer support. Fortunately Netflix still has real human beings who are helpful. There is no way to reach a real person on X. I have wasted several thousand dollars to boost my posts but it just ate my money. The XAI that monitors my posts found something wrong with my post, I don't know what. When I sent a DM to Ad services, it never responds. I have sent the complain a dozen times. The XAI reads not only the posts but also the DMs. When XAI doesn't understand a post, it simply ignores it. There is no way on X to reach a real human being. If XAI is cheating me, it is the cost of living with modern AI technology. The ring in my wife's phone becomes almost inaudible. She sets it up to full volume but it keeps coming back to lowest volume. So, she asked me to find out the problem. I haven't been able to solve the problem. I tried to de-install an App, and it would keep on reinstalling it. On PayPal, I cannot turn off notifications of parcels from USPS. In an Airbnb I could not turn on the A/C. It had so many things in the menu. It would keep going back and forth in the menu but not show me the temperature controls. Even powering on and off did not work. In another Airbnb in New Zealand, I could not use the oven because I could not set the temperature. It kept turning off. In a hotel I could not set the time on the alarm clock. The list is limitless. And I am not a computer illeraterate person. You might think I am a dumb person. I am the inventor of Ethernet switch which is widely used in AI data centers, My company I founded turned an investment of $25 million into $10 billion. I have a dozen patents. If I am having so much problem with modern technology, I can imagine how much problem others might be facing.

  Not only is this against VGens TOS, but I'm amazed how many people don't realise that illegitimate charge backs on paypal are legitimately and fraud that can get you in serious legal trouble ;o;
