  @LooongJooohnson @PayPal Isn't this a solution for those who want to travel to China but are struggling with payment issues? If that's your thinking, can I say that the US started using WeChat to curry favor with China?

  Like everything that use to be good @PayPal is another. Yes i am aware they have been going down hill for a while. But i still used them as I didn’t have an issue till now. Bought dodge items and because they didn’t break within 30 days, even though Australian law gives consumers 12 months, i can’t get my money back through paypal. I am forced to lodge a complaint to fair trading

  @chiaki_tsune @luckymayachie @shushitweet I got replies going from still finishing a previous comm, all over to being sick and having problems. After a whole 8 weeks had gone by, I issued a complaint with paypal and got my money back.

  Pasco Sheriff (@PascoSheriff) reported 9 minutes ago

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several warrant scams. The scammer claims to be a Pasco Sheriff’s Office member or other local government employee informing the potential victim that they have a warrant and have to pay a fee. These payments are made through gift cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and other similar accounts. The scammer will provide PSO’s closed Grove location to appear authentic and spoof a number associated with PSO, such as our general information line. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise. PSO stresses that these messages are not legitimate.

  @SammyPhox_ Hi! I had the same problem. Wait for PayPal to transfer the money, because if you transfer it "quickly" they charge an exorbitant fee.

  @Kalshi This is an early-stage report, not a product launch. CoinDesk says 𝕏 is in talks about paying creators in stablecoins (Circle’s USDC is the example named). The source is one person familiar with the discussions who also works with other platforms testing the same idea. 𝕏 has not confirmed anything. Treat it as a live option under review, not a done deal. What is actually changing? Great question… Two separate things are being mixed together: 1. Confirmed: 𝕏 is killing Revenue Sharing. New enrollments already stopped. The old program ends September 7; the last payouts land around September 11. It is replaced by Original Content Rewards, which is supposed to pay for original ideas, reporting, expertise, and commentary instead of ad-impression farming. 2. Unconfirmed: How those new rewards get sent. Today payouts go through Stripe or 𝕏 Money. Stablecoins would be another rail, not the new rewards program itself. Nothing in 𝕏’s official creator announcement mentions crypto. Why would they even consider it? Again, great question… Creator payouts are a messy, global, small-dollar problem. Bank wires, local rails, FX spreads, and minimums eat a lot of what mid-tier creators actually receive especially outside the US. Stablecoins (market cap now over $300 billion) settle in minutes, in dollars, without a correspondent bank in every country. That is the same reason $SPCX already uses them for some Starlink payments in “long-tail” markets. 𝕏 hiring Benji Taylor (ex-Coinbase Base, wallets/DeFi) in March fits the same direction. 𝕏 Money is already rolling to a slice of Premium+ users. YouTube already lets some US creators take PayPal’s PYUSD. Meta has started paying selected creators in USDC on Solana and Polygon. 𝕏 would not be first; it would be the largest social app to try it at scale.

  Deleting the commit does not remove the secret. *** keeps history. The blob is still reachable by hash, still in every clone and fork, likely in a mirror you have never heard of. Rotate the credential. A team that spends the first hour rewriting *** history instead of revoking the key has spent the hour the attacker needed. Public repos are scraped continuously. A committed cloud key is found and used in minutes, not days. Push protection blocks the credential before it leaves your machine, which beats detection after the fact. The supply chain side is worse. Event-stream 2018: maintainer handed the package over, new owner added code targeting a bitcoin wallet. No bug. The maintainer changed. Dependency confusion 2021: public packages matching internal names at higher versions, builds fetched the attacker's copy. Worked against Apple, Microsoft, PayPal. No vulnerability. Just resolution order. xz-utils 2024: multi-year effort to gain maintainer trust and reach sshd. Found by an engineer investigating a half second login slowdown. Dependency review cannot be a one time check. The package that was safe when you chose it can change hands afterwards. Wrote up the full breakdown of repo security, credential rotation, and three supply chain attacks that worked without exploiting a single bug.

  Things I will admit I don't know that I should know But I will admit #FuckFinePrint But I've been told if there are options like sign in with Google or Apple or PayPal that you are supposed to just go with your email but But if your email is with Google ? Am "signing in with google,"?

  @MukyaVT The fact PayPal gave you transaction ID makes me really question Twitch. Maybe set up a bank account for payout? I’ve not had an issues in < 3 years.

  Comms are still closed, but since the client had a slot before I had issues with Paypal, I decided to take and finish the comm. I hate making people wait.

  I bought $PYPL on Monday. PayPal received got a 60.50 takeover bid from Stripe and Advent. Management called it inadequate. The stock is down more than 80% from its 2021 peak, retiring 12% of its stock a year at 11x earnings. And now, maybe, a bidding war. I only looked because I was recently asked to pay someone by PayPal. I thought: PayPal?? Then I pulled up the chart. Edison said that to have a great idea, you have to have a lot of them. You can't wake up and stumble onto your best stock pick. So I audition a lot of stocks, kill most of them cheaply, and press the few that work by giving myself a way to add to my winning positions. The edge in investing is not so much in finding the idea. It's what you do with it once it starts working, and how fast you cut it when it doesn't. PayPal came off exactly that process. There is a good narrative, a good chart, a good valuation, and I made an entry. It's one of seven oddball positions I added to the portfolio this week, which don't really fit neatly into any of the portfolio's themes. I share the report, and place the Paypal pick for free.

  Hello everyone just wanna send out a warning to NOT buy any tickets from @Camerella424 !! She’s a scammer and sent me a fake ticket 🫠🫠 I was stupid and fell for her kindness. Her PayPal account was not working and Venmo also flagged the transaction as scam, so what did I do? I used Apple Pay… which doesn’t cover anyone so I’m currently out $450. Everything seemed legit, especially with proof, but turns out I was wrong. Please don’t give me crap for this, I already feel stupid. Just wanted to warn people.

  PayPal can be great, but the issues I’ve had with it this year are driving me insane. Of course it’s being the worst right now when I really need it. If I’m going to miss out on stuff because of this I’m really going lose it.

  @noctemint It's actually not super hard to get a proxy to buy it for you! I use BuyTaiwan myself, and all you gotta do is send a request with a link, then they'll confirm with you and you pay them through PayPal. It'll be pricey cause shipping, but you can get them no problem~♡

  update: I spoke with Paypal about an inconvenience I had. They deleted my old business account and verified my new one. Turns out you can have problems with any online service! PayPal is just the most well-known one, therefore more possibilities. I am thankful though!

  @MomoDearestt @ShuraGacha @AKEndfield ok... so what's the problem again? paypal is most likely also one of the motives of people leaving, but also the overall factory system is a well known filter and devs knew it and will deal with it by having a niche audience. end game is missing, true, but-

  @LNER trying to do delay repay through PayPal and it’s not working. It transfers you to the PayPal login then it’s just a blank white screen. If you go back it says having problems connecting. Any help?

  @eliana_jordan @kwawmannanjnr a major problem for sure. Paypal is not known for robust dispute practices and they don't claim to be. If your first time to Egypt... sucks but this is not abnormal for Red Sea excursions. Unless you have strong connections with people in the region refrain from putting yourself in risky situations like this in the future. Its a painful experience and not comfy at all. sucks. Reddit, trip advisor are your friend.
