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 🙄

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.

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
-
Julian Köser (@HonourM4xAI) reported@kabu_nyan0214 @Capito_Nihongo Problem is I don’t have an account which accepts foreign transfers only from my country and Paypal unfortunately blocks everything and supports my bank net. But if I could open a Japanese account that accepts foreign payments, that would be perfect for me.

Sunny Rads (@Sunny_Rads) reported@AllThatJu1ce @Twitch @PayPal There are entire departments just for cyber crimes, and they track down people who do things like this! It isn’t a quick fix, but they should be able to get it back to you eventually.

🇺🇸 End H1B F1 OPT TN E3 O1 L1 I1 H4 all NIV 🇺🇸 (@slmimorgan) reported@drjoshcsimmons PayPal has always been a crap product with egregious security risks. Unclear how it launched anyone's career. There is something very shady going down with Tech. H-1Bs are unconstitutional/illegal. Hence, some very, very powerful people are not American citizens at all.

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.

The Based Crusader (@Chomag77) reported@PPhantomGray @Keniisu They're kind of a monopoly. Not much we can do about it. Stop using their cards? Most banks only offer services with either of these. Most services only accept payment from either of these. PayPal is also corrupt. Only fix is widely spread crypto.

YoutaDaydream🔞@SkebOPEN (@YoutaDD1113) reportedI'm planning to start PayPal commissions soon... The reason is that I need money to repair my PC, which is still relatively new but has broken down, and my secondary PC is too old to be used for game development 🥲 I really need the money 🥲
-
Mr. Pounce 🖋️📚 Loremaster Vtuber (@MrPounceTV) reported@rhiow I stopped doing direct tips. Too many stories about PayPal tip chargebacks, or getting an unusually large tip that is flagged as suspicious and freezes the account. I've personally never had an issue, but I know it does happen. I use bits for 'direct' monetary now.
