  @Cal_I_Guess No option to add Paypal. The only reliable way is buying giftcards which only come in 1k,2k,3k etc. if i wanna buy a game thats 599 i gotta pay an extra 400 to get a 1000 rupee gift card and only use half on the digital purchase. Not the case with physical. Unless they fix this+

  @AskPayPal @EyoladeAbass In other words, don’t expect the issue to ever be resolved because their help center isn’t monitored by human beings and they engage in fraud.

  Caller (Jake): “I’m 16, and I make around $50,000 to $80,000 a month doing e-commerce. “My mom has no idea. “She’s very traditional, and I’m afraid she’ll shut it down if I tell her.” Dave Ramsey: “You’re making $50,000 a month at 16 years old?” Jake: “Yes, sir. “I run Shopify dropshipping stores, eBay arbitrage, and a bunch of online businesses. “I have a little over $300,000 sitting in a PayPal account because my mom is joint on my bank account.” Dave Ramsey: “So you’ve been doing this for four or five months?” Jake: “About eight months. The first few months were slow, and then it picked up really fast.” Dave Ramsey: “Your mother doesn’t know any of this?” Jake: “No. All the money is in PayPal because she’s joint on my bank account. “I want to tell her, but I know she’ll be very skeptical of what I’m doing. “She’s always told me she wants me to take a traditional path, and I’m worried she’ll put an end to it.”

  Before today, I only had Stripe payments only which meant that it only allowed credit/debit cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay, etc. But now, I've also added a PayPal option as well so hopefully there won't be as many issues with payments 🫡

  📋 Before you book with TRIPATHALF, know this: 🔸 Can't club with other offers/wallet/coupons 🔸 No PayPal, My Wallet, or COD payments 🔸 Not valid on Reserve Now Pay Later 🔸 Cancel later? You lose the discount too, not just the fare 🔸 Enter the code correctly — miss it and there's no retroactive fix Read the fine print before you hit book.

  @Farmville I’ve tried ALL the workarounds and have contacted support SEVERAL times since the issue. I even tried contacting my VIP manager and got crickets. At this point I’m ready to file a complaint with PayPal to get the money back that I spent on that farm unless someone can help me!

  @videogamedeals I've always preferred physical out of habit, but back in 2022 my Nintendo account got banned for a PayPal chargeback. Problem is I don't have a PayPal account. I got unbanned but the 2-3 days I was banned all my digital games were locked. Reinforced how important ownership is.

  . Scummy tricks the platform sticks up my *** every day... a) A guy reposted one of my actual articles this morning, and I went over there to check on it about an hour later and found it 72 posts back on the timeline. b) I made a little post just about that. It has a few comments on it, but no one would ever know. Because the comment couter is blank. Comments to my post don't register. So no one would ever think of clicking to view them. They've been concealed by the platform. The scumbags that run this platform have pulled every ***** trick in the book on me from the very beginning, but have really put the hammer down since my series of articles targeting the PayPal Mafia directly, as well as the organized crime cartel occupying the Oval Office with articles such as "The Doge Scam", and The Pardons Racket". Since then, my account's basically been dead. .

  I’ve had a business idea running through my head for a couple of years. It’s a short-term SMS marketing concept targeted at a VERY specific group of people with a very specific need. I was thinking about it again this morning and realized something: The idea hasn’t really changed. My ability to actually build the damn thing has. A few years ago, testing this would have been a giant pain in the ***. I would have needed some combination of a web developer, designer, copywriter, database, landing page, SMS platform, payment processor, automation software, and probably somebody technical enough to make all of those things talk to each other. Suddenly, a little experiment becomes a PROJECT. And that’s before I even know if anybody wants the thing. Today, I can sit down with ChatGPT Work, Codex, Claude Code, CoWork, or another capable AI tool and say: “Here’s an idea I’ve had for a couple of years. There was too much friction to build it before. What would it take to create an MVP (minimum viable product), basically the simplest version I could put in front of real people and test?” Then we can start building. I’ll probably still need something like Twilio for SMS and Stripe or PayPal for payments. That’s fine. The difference is that the AI can quarterback the whole thing. It can help build the landing page or lightweight app, handle the database, write the copy, connect APIs and MCPs, set up automations, and stitch the specialized tools together. That changes the economics of experimenting with a business idea. You can vibe code a workable version, put it in front of actual humans, see what happens, learn, and iterate. If people actually want it, THEN you can decide how much you want to invest in making it better and scaling it. Which got me thinking… How many good ideas are sitting in our mental graveyards because they were too expensive, too technical, or just too much of a pain in the *** to build when we first had them? Maybe it’s worth digging a few of those back up. Grab one and tell your favorite AI tool: “I had this idea a few years ago, but there was too much friction to build it. Given what’s available today, how could we create a simple version and test it?” Some of those old ideas might make a hell of a lot more sense in 2026. 👊🏻

  Every complaint thread is a billable workflow nobody was claiming. Built Pinchloom to claim it. It scrapes public posts, drafts the n8n fix, pitches the prospect with a checkout link, and routes PayPal or card payments straight to the operator. Live soon.
