  been limited without any clear reason, especially when there has been no transaction activity on the account. This limitation is causing me significant problems. I need to add my PayPal account details to several freelancing platforms so that I can receive payments for my work.

  Also it's not the subject of this post but I did not try to scam anyone out of a commission, that was a problem with discord. However, If you have an in progress commission from me you want refunded send me your PayPal on kofi and I'll refund asap.

  In 2003 a thirty-two-year-old Elon Musk gave the Stanford talk founders still pass around twenty years later. He was invited to speak at Stanford's Graduate School of Business by a class of MBA students who wanted to hear from someone actually building companies instead of teaching cases about them. He walked in, sat down, and talked for forty-five minutes without a single slide. By that point he had already sold Zip2 to Compaq for three hundred and seven million dollars and had cleared roughly one hundred and eighty million from the PayPal sale to eBay the year before. He had used most of that money to start SpaceX in the spring of 2002. In the fall of 2003, SpaceX had zero launches, roughly thirty employees, and a runway that was going to run out inside two years. He talked about how to start a company when nobody believes in the market. How to cut costs when the cash pile is shrinking every week. How to think from first principles instead of from analogy. How to stay alive long enough for luck to matter. The most striking part of the tape is not the advice. It is the tone. He is calm. He is quiet. He is thirty-two years old and running a company that is trying to build rockets, and he speaks about it the way a project manager describes a Kanban board. Twenty years later that same man owns SpaceX, Tesla, xAI and X. His net worth crossed four hundred billion dollars at the end of 2024. The rocket company he was running on empty in 2003 now launches more mass into orbit than the rest of the world combined. The talk is on YouTube. It has been posted, taken down, reposted, and re-uploaded dozens of times. It never breaks a hundred thousand views on any single upload because it does not have a thumbnail hook or a title that promises secrets. It is just forty-five minutes of a man who had not yet become anything explaining, in flat prose, how to survive when nobody has backed you yet. I watched it for the first time in 2019 during a stretch of my own company where I was three months from running out of cash. Nothing in the talk was tactical enough to save me. What it did do was give me permission to keep going for another quarter, which turned out to be all I needed. The Musk who gave that talk did not know what he would become. Neither did the students in the room. That is the actual value of the tape. You watch him before he was Elon Musk.

  @Adamthechampion @JustEatUK @JustEatUK customer service is terrible. They've screwed me multiple times/ways and they'll refuse a refund even if u have video evidence. Moral of the story, if u have to use their awful service, always pay with PayPal they're significantly better when a refund is necessary.

  @femceldreamz I’m sorry you didn’t get tix :( once it found them for me I didn’t have problems checking out. It might have been your payment method? My bank flags certain bigger transactions as fraud sometimes and declines them. Do you have a different way to pay tomorrow? I used PayPal.

  I got hit with a 200 Dollers PayPal lien by a US client 🤯 Sounds scary, right? But honestly this experience reminded me of something I'll never forget entire my life Hear me out guys Few weeks ago , I started working with a new client and the biggest issue what we are facing wasn't the work Yes yess you heard me right It was communication So the client was not very active , so we couldn't discuss feedback properly. Because of that, video revisions kept getting delayed, deadlines started slipping, and eventually our contract was canceled.🥲 To make things worse, I got a $200 PayPal lien. At that moment, I could not blamed the client. Or neither I just walked away Instead, I reached out. I explained my side of the story, listened to theirs, and gave them time to think And then .. Something completely unexpected happened. They finally removed the $200 PayPal lien So the lesson is : Not every problem needs a fight. Sometimes, it just needs a conversation ✨

  E get one method I was using to create PayPal accounts last year. Link bank to it and use it without issues. Let me try it again and see, if it works, I will share how to do it. Instead of selling your hard earned survey funds to dealers at a low rate, you will learn how to create your own PayPal account and withdraw your money at official rate to your Nigerian bank account. Small small, I will give you everything you need to be self sufficient online. It will take time, but you will definitely get it from me. P.S: image is not mine. Random screenshot from Twitter here.

  The problem? The payments space is already crowded. Venmo. Cash App. Apple Cash. Zelle. PayPal. Everyone already has something that works. So X Money has to be better than just "send money." ⌯⌲

  @BowTiedKong I think banking regulations mandate the involvement of some physical clearing houses for an "online" transfer Why not just use ravens to transfer the funds? Another issue is PayPal holding people's funds hostage whenever they feel like it, apparently

  Hi @AskPayPal, I need help recovering my PayPal account. I still have access to my registered email, but I no longer have access to the phone number used for WhatsApp verification, so I can't receive the login code. I also can't log in to contact support via chat.

  @MariaGraceVT Thanks Maria. I don’t really know what the costs will entail at this time, and what items lost we will feel necessary to replace. So I’m not even sure what I would ask for. I have a PayPal. But you’ve had your own home issues. 🫂
