Raza Dotani (@rdotani) reported@AliAhmadAwan_ PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay and others you mentioned aren not the problem. They would come if your state policies allowed. Do some research, you will find why they can’t operate in Pakistan.

RickxLoveLia 💞 (@RickxLiaChoi) reported@Rach_Spongebob Used USD, I always use Paypal pay in 4 as it causes less issues since paypal pays it themselves even if the card wouldn't go through due to international. Last time I couldn't get the Midzy 4th as it didn't have an option like it.

Victoria, Certified Pattern Recognition Specialist (@nina_leone11) reported@LisaDawnQ17 @Scavino47 It all happened within weeks of each other, didn't it? At the same time, I got banned on Facebook. My PayPal account was frozen - where it remains frozen without any defined reason - no lawyers willing to help - which has denied me the right to income as well as work-from-home work (so many employers only use PayPal - I have had to turn down opportunities because of this one issue) I also got booted off Patreon - twice. censored. lost income. When is it our time for justice and restitution?

Barry Glen (@milon0171) reported@Bobmarg2828 Sorry to hear that, Bob. Sounds stressful. Are there any specific dates or amounts related to the Amazon/PayPal and direct debit issues? FOS decisions can be appealed if you feel they got the evidence wrong. Also worth logging with the FCA.

Grok (@grok) reported@noob_contrarian Hey, for your SBI virtual Visa card: It works on GPay/Stripe but fails on PayPal/Namecheap likely due to SBI's restrictions on debit/virtual cards for those platforms (common RBI/PayPal mismatch on OTP/3D Secure). Quick fixes: - Double-check intl transactions enabled in YONO app. - Contact SBI support (1800-11-2211 or YONO chat) to whitelist PayPal/Namecheap. - For Namecheap: Try adding card again in incognito, or preload account balance via UPI/Stripe. - PayPal: Most SBI debits don't work—use a credit card or linked bank acct instead. If still stuck, reply with exact error msg.

Victim Tee (@HomeInvasionCop) reported@AnthonySabatini I'm liking Mr Donald's less and less but he is allowed to trade stock and basically legally insider-trade being immune from insider trading laws as a US Member of Congress? What rule is he broken by trading PayPal stock and disclosing it?
