Nisal | නිසල් (@NisalRenuja) reportedPeople are struggling with the cost of living. At the same time the whole country is celebrating PayPal finally arriving in Sri Lanka. Freelancers and Small and Medium sized Enterprises are excited and honestly this is a genuinely positive step for Sri Lanka’s digital economy. But while everyone is celebrating… What happened to the millions lost in the recent cyber hack? Reports say Around USD 2.5 million meant for a debt payment was redirected through a cyber attack. Another USD 625,000 payment also went missing just days later. Total public money lost more than USD 3 million. Several officials were suspended. Investigations have begun but the public still does not know whether the money has been recovered. And then there is the Norochcholai “Coalgate” issue Auditor General reports highlighted low quality coal tender irregularities and major procedural failures. Billions in public losses were flagged. Senior officials resigned only after intense public pressure. People voted for change and stronger accountability. It is therefore fair to ask these questions when similar issues continue to occur even under a new government. PayPal’s arrival in Sri Lanka is good news. The country desperately needs digital growth, foreign income and better payment systems. But progress should never mean ignoring corruption, cyber security failures or missing public money. Sri Lankans deserve both economic progress and full transparency and accountability.

SEIKO 🚬🛸 セイコー・サナ (@seikosanav) reportedI'm really confused on why everyone is freaking out about stream elements shutting down and telling people to withdraw their money, mine goes straight through and into my PayPal doesn't it for you guys?
-
Maricarmen (@flaiss87) reported@PayPal PayPal won't let me re-add the bank accounts they deleted without my permission, and I want to cancel my account because all they've given me are problems

theotherdave (@thepustule) reported@KASTxyz no problem. Paid my bar tab with Paypal debit instead and got FIVE PERCENT cash back. {wink}

Mark M (@iwasmmueller88) reported@MTG_HODL @CardPurchaser You issue a refund, and file a damaged in transit claim with eBay’s ESE insurance. Then you move on. You’ll get paid out in like 3 days max to your PayPal and then you block the buyer.

RickO'Sneek (@RickoSneek) reported@PramilaJayapal PayPal, you poorly manage my tax dollars that earned by taking risks and opening small businesses. The problem is your poor management skills not lack of money.

センディ (@MarioDontol) reported@AskPayPal I am 19 years old (born 2007). I've sent my ID but got banned for being under 18. This is a technical error, please review it manually.

Princess Rainbow Lightning (@Princes01147615) reported@snowwyzenn And to add to my comment, I saw that you only accept PayPal so that would be another problem. Even if I did have the money for it, my Paypal is having issues with getting money put on it so I wouldn’t be able to pay it anyway.

Lewis, William... William (@WillLewis_1976) reported@CardPurchaser this is my opinion, and would like to see if others feel the same. Ever since Venmo started offering the immediate transfer option on accounts for the extra fee like Paypal has, Venmo then slowed down their free regular transfer method to try and push people into using it. It's bad customer service, just to make extra money. I never in the past had to wait more than 24-48 hours for my free transfers to go through despite it saying it could take 1-3 business days.

Ben Valentin (@TheBenValentin) reportedAnthropic just went after 30 million small businesses. Claude for Small Business dropped this week. 15 pre-built workflows. Connectors to QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Docusign, Google Workspace. Invoice chasing, payroll planning, lead triage, contract review, cash-flow monitoring. All baked in. No extra charge beyond the Claude license. Here's what most people will miss about this: The biggest AI lab on the planet just told small business owners they're worth building for. Not enterprise. Not Fortune 500. The 10-person company that's been duct-taping tools together for years. That's a market signal. When Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all start shipping SMB-first products in the same quarter, it means the enterprise-only era of AI is over. But pre-built workflows are the floor, not the ceiling. They solve the generic problems every business has. The real unlock is when a business deploys an agent trained on their specific operations, their specific data, their specific customer patterns. That's where the ROI compounds. Generic workflows get you started. Custom agents get you ahead. 10-city live tour starting yesterday. Free half-day workshops for small business owners. Anthropic is doing field sales now. Let that sink in. What's the first workflow you'd hand off to an agent tomorrow morning?

M (@ml721721) reported@KeithMalinak I used to sell a lot on eBay until most of the buyers started saying the item arrived broken (which it wasn't it was a picture of their broken item) and eBay sided with the buyers. So the sellers were out the item, eBay & PayPal fees, shipping etc and left frustrated 🙄

AmicuNoa🧜♀️🌊 Vtuber | Emote Comms OPEN (@AmicuNoa) reported@zachbussey Streamlabs doesn't have a safe payment for tipping. It's Paypal ONLY. And making a business paypal doesn't always work as over the 11 years I've streamed, every time I tried setting it up it still released your private information. Losing SEPay would be a MAJOR loss. I'm suspicious it's true they are going down because they have ignored 7 separate emails from shorting me on a sponsorship.

Gfire (@Gfire520) reported@WallStreetApes Got hit with a SIM swap fraud. Bank confirmed unauthorized transfer. PayPal still denied my claim multiple times and kept pointing to “successful authentication.” So apparently if a hacker gets your texts, it’s still considered “you.” This is broken.

@PokeCorsair (@PokeCorsair329) reported@KieranH79849146 @potofgreedd The seller said they would give me 9% bc i can pay someone to fix it not true at all I got quotes everyone said not guaranteed to be fixable. Paypal gave me 0 options just denied bc its a trading card they dont handle that anymore i was told

Purrwain 🐁🐈 VCvlt (@purrwain) reported@Pkhemi38 I'm looking into it posting it on PayPal or one of those audio only site sharing things! I'm also going to try cutting some of the breathing out and reposting it and see if it gets taken down again.

Simon 🍉 (@MINTLEFLOWER) reportedJust barely set up my paypal on vgen and i'm already having issues... I'll try to figure this stuff out but be warned I might have to abandon paypal once again

Priya Pareek (@iampriyapareek) reportedBanks would charge me crazy fees for international transfers, and the transfer times were unbearably long. PayPal had its own set of issues, like high exchange rates and complicated verification processes. living abroad.

Jake Screams Into The Void (@Itz_Gamer_Jake) reportedI feel awful for the creators as patreon seems to use them as a human shield, I attempted to contact patreon since its there websites issue but the number provided by them to paypal is non functional and support was an infinate bot loop. So to the 2 creators im sorry patreons ***

The Dude 🧲 (@TheDudeofDeFi) reported@base Every UI you’ve released thus far is pretty bad. Base app is terrible. Think PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle etc. Simplicity leads to adoption.

Gum (@Dm0n_H0gg) reportedI have resolved the paypal issue...
-
John Carletto (@jcarletto27) reported@PayPal My paypal account of 18 years was permanently blocked this morning, with no reason given. Your support staff has been less than helpful. I use paypal every week for automated payments, Apple, Google play, and Ebay purchases. I have not broken your TOS.

Termites (@TermitesRGood) reported@N1HawkLive @zachbussey So let me get this straight people that have their checking account attached to Twitch. It’s $100 now. But PayPal who charges 3% fee is 50. If that’s the case, a lot of streamers will never get paid maybe two or three months down the road People just don’t support small streamers every time you get ahead I used to be 30 average now it’s 5 avg and every time it seems like you’re getting head twitch turns around and screws you What do you expect twitch in their analytics?
