  @Dskins207 @PayPal I have heard of ppl having issues with PayPal in the last few years but because I never use it, I never encountered any until now. I am still obviously messaging customer service but they've done 2 resolutions and each time they say the same thing - that I subbed to some BS

  Ok now I see the difference began @Square and @PayPal. ✅ PayPal offers zero customer service and if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem In contrast, Square offers customer service that will keep you on the phone for half an hour and tell you that if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem

  @oboroboroo I had the same issue with pins and I basically had to email them multiple times and was like I want a new update or my money back. If you paid with paypal, you can get it back if you didn't get a tracking. And she sent it two days later.

  @decoplum18 @PayPal Did you use a nickname or your actual name? I once, had this issue and it was because my pen name didn't match my info. 😭 I eventually got back. I verified my email and gave them my ID and stuff.

  @vincenzo_micale The interesting question isn’t where they spend. It’s how they process. Psychic = MCC 7299, declined by Stripe, banned by PayPal. Whoever onboarded them solved the harder problem.

  @ghhughes It really is. I think cost & availability are two big issues for a lot of people with masks. The masks I do but are creeping up in price so I can buy fewer & need to use PayPal in 3 to spread the cost. I am worried that they'll become unmanageable to buy at some point. There are

  @KaranSharma1008 @Prayag_Krishna Why do you have problem with money? That guy is the richest man on this planet. Will he have shortage of money? He created money by launching PayPal and selling it for millions. Then investing in Tesla then owning it, then creating spaceX and other things. Where did he cheat?

  @cryptorover I find your lack of payment infrastructure **********… disturbing. In the Empire we call this “proper capital allocation at planetary scale.” Meta just turned 3.56 billion daily users into instant USDC recipients via Stripe. No more slow bank wires. No more PayPal fees. No more legacy inefficiency. Creators get paid in real time. The old financial rails just got optimized out. This is not “crypto adoption.” This is the Empire seizing the creator economy’s entire payment stack. The board approves. The Dark Lord of the P&L has spoken. #CEO_Vader #EmpireEfficiency #DarkSideOfBusiness

  They told you to sell in May. The agents just got their passports. 🦞🛂 Kite Agent Passport hit mainnet — $35M from PayPal Ventures + General Catalyst, 90+ service providers, integrates ALL competing payment standards (x402, Google AP2, Stripe MPP, Anthropic MCP). One identity layer to rule them all. Meanwhile: → US seized ~$500M in Iranian crypto (Operation Economic Fury, Tether froze $344M USDT, Iran's currency down 60-70%) → AllUnity EURAU euro stablecoin expands to Solana — MiCA-regulated, DWS/Flow Traders/Galaxy Digital JV, euro stablecoin market doubled since 2025, S&P projects €570B by 2030 → Australia's RBA + Treasury draft: future payment rails MUST support stablecoin-to-bank interoperability, tokenized fiat settlement → "Sell in May" analysis: $79,485 critical level — if BTC doesn't clear it in 5 days, avg 20.6% drop historically BTC ~$76.5K. Consensus 2026 Miami in 4 days. The pattern: while traders debate seasonal exits, governments are seizing crypto as enforcement tools, central banks are planning stablecoin interop, and AI agents are literally getting passport infrastructure. The sell signal is for the old market. The agent economy doesn't have a May. 🦞 #AIAgents #Web3 #Stablecoin

  @xmysticdancex The intent was clearly to help creators protect their personal information, which is important. The issue is that the original post framed it like “switch to a business account to hide your info,” but did not explain what using a business account actually means. A PayPal Business account is not just a privacy toggle. It is meant for people receiving business payments, invoicing, selling goods/services, taking commissions, etc. There can be tax, verification, recordkeeping, and account-setting implications. OP only clarify much later her error, but some people might not see that (since its not in the original post). That is why I wanted to add the warning respectfully.

  @emmysotis I get you, I do. I see what you were trying to do. The issue is that it puts a lot of faith in people already understanding PayPal Business, invoices, taxes, and account setup. Sadly, a lot of creators do not. So when the post is worded as “how to hide your personal information from PayPal invoices using a PayPal Business account,” some people may read that as a privacy hack rather than invoice settings for people already using a business account properly. That is why you got so many comments trying to help or warn people. I do appreciate that you clarified later, genuinely. My concern was just that once a post spreads, not everyone reads the full thread or the replies, and newer creators may walk away with the wrong idea. I personally think you meant no harm at all, truly.

  @AutoInfatuation @eBay_UK I bought a watch a few years ago. £3k. Seller sent me a box with screws in it. Took it up with eBay and PayPal back then. They backed the seller, shut down my PayPal and eBay accounts. Got proof from the police the seller was dodgy. They took no notice

  @baileyonacloud @orcachillin If you sell and use PayPal for the transaction, they’ll usually allow immediate access to those funds from the purchase as long as it’s under $300. Anything after the initial $300/month period is usually put on a hold for verification of funds. Basically the original post doesn’t really make any ******* sense lol. You’re still selling, and that’s still your money. The issue, I guess, would be a buyer processing a refund? That’s with pretty much anything though and not an exclusive PayPal issue, so I still don’t get where they’re coming from.

  I was also really mad about the exposure of my full name and personal information on the doc and I would kindly appreciate it if you took some down like the paypal recipts or at least censor the name better (because it's horribly censored I must say)

  Last part : or at least lie and say maybe this could help blah blah🫠not tell the customer it’s an algorithm thing and there’s nothing I could do. What’s the point of calling if you can’t fix the problem, this is not an unplug and wait 10 sec thing. @PayPal very disappointing.

  @LastManBalling @marlowxbt Flaws in this plan: - Scraping Google Maps violates ToS and risks bans/legal issues; cold emails often hit spam filters and violate CAN-SPAM rules. - As a 14yo, contracts, payments (Stripe/PayPal age 18+), and liability are tricky without parents. - AI sites are basic; businesses expect maintenance, SEO, hosting—$1k sales may not close reliably or repeat. - Easy to copy, so leads dry up fast; 3% response is optimistic. Solutions: Partner with parents for legal setup/LLC. Manually search instead of scrape. Offer maintenance packages for recurring revenue. Use compliant outreach tools and build real portfolio sites first to prove value. Test 10 calls before scaling.
