  @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.

  this company trying to tell me to close my paypal dispute so they can issue my refund like im a dumbass

  WB (@bell12877) reported 4 minutes ago

  @PayPal @Starlink Hey @PayPalUK, your dispute system is broken. A seller is offering a £35 refund but requiring me to return a £130 watch. Your agent Ayesha says 'Full Refund' but the screen says £35. This is facilitating merchant fraud.

  When Musk has 200 billion, he doesn't consume it-he allocates it. SpaceX/Starlink/Neuralink/xAI. Every dollar is bet on the future. He has a track record PayPal/Tesla/SpaceX. He knows how to spot massive problems and allocate resources to them with spectacular returns

  @leahfiles @realstewpeters I thougt he was one of those people that always call me to notify me a PayPal transaction of $596 for antivirus software has been approved & he only needs access to my account to fix it

  @berylberu I have a business PayPal acc, yet my personal name still gets exposed depending on how sites process payments. Ko-fi + VGen both do this, check your confirmation emails. PayPal says it’s not their issue, and both platforms say the same. As far as I can tell, there’s no real fix.

  @decoplum18 @PayPal Im sorry 😭i unfortunately also went through this too randomly with no warning 0 chargebacks or issues my account it was always in good standing so took me by surprise. I contacted them endlessly but they said they couldn’t share their reasoning with me and was no reversing it..

  @PayPal What makes you think it's ok to issue a refund to a consumer's disputed payment after the seller has provided PROOF of shipment & delivery of the order. You act like you're doing everyone a favor. The truth is this practice simply adds cost to businesses accepting paypal.

  Eric Carlson (@theericcarlson) reported 17 minutes ago

  Everyone's talking about fully automating their ad accounts with AI. I think that's a mistake. Here's why. When PayPal was getting destroyed by fraud in the early days, they had a hacker named Igor who kept breaking through. They tried full automation to stop him. It didn't work. Actually caused more problems. So they tested something different. Algorithm plus human. AI flagged the patterns. Humans made the calls. That combination is what eventually became Palantir. One of the biggest AI companies in the world. And they still use that same model today. AI with human workflow. And that makes sense if you think about it. If everyone has access to the same AI tools and everyone automates the same way, that just becomes the floor. The baseline. The minimum. So where does the edge come from? Not from automating everything. From automating the right pinch points and keeping humans in the loop for the decisions that actually matter. I built a creative analysis tool that pulls 90 days of ad data, transcribes videos, generates scene notes, and maps performance to patterns. That used to take 6 hours manually. Now it runs in the background in 15 to 50 minutes. But I still sit down and interpret it. I still make the calls on what to test next. The AI compresses the grunt work. The human finds the alpha. Everyone's racing to remove themselves from the process entirely. I'm racing to stay in it. Just at a higher level.

  @RogonUsaryis @PayPal They would only indefinitely fill up server space with junk, as whatever database is being written to, to store account data and logins would just be growing bigger and bigger with dead accounts and junk.

  @presh_rabbit FNB literally has PayPal in their app So you don't even need to login via PayPal to do transactions You can do them directly from the FNB app Like withdrawing and depositing

  $PYPL This is ultimately why I sold PayPal It wasn’t the valuation it’s because I lost faith in the *** after they axed Alex Chriss Diego Scotti and Michelle Gill were probably the highest achieving execs during Alex’s leadership Diego did amazing things with Venmo and Michelle managed to inflect SMBs back to growth I do not think it’s coincidental that they have departed As time goes on it seems more and more likely PayPal is going to be broken up and sold for parts It will probably work out ok for shareholders but it’s a painful reminder of what PayPal could have been if it was managed correctly and not neglected to the point of deterioration under Schulman I don’t think it would have mattered who the CEO was who took over in 2023, it was destined to fail. Nobody knew the full extent of the damage under the hood I also suspect there is an entrenched corporate culture there which is obstructive towards innovation and meaningful change A real shame

  @rwaassetchain You’re correctly identifying the bottleneck but “always the answer” skips a few hard realities. Stablecoins (like $USDC) fix the transport layer: instant settlement, 24/7 uptime, low fees. That’s a clear upgrade over legacy rails and platforms like PayPal. But creator payouts are a full stack problem: On/offramps: creators still need local fiat, and cashing out reintroduces fees + delays Compliance: KYC, tax reporting, and jurisdictional rules don’t disappear onchain Distribution UX: wallets, key management, and support overhead still limit adoption Liquidity + trust: stablecoins rely on issuers and redemption guarantees So the real answer isn’t purely onchain it’s modular rails: Onchain for settlement and global distribution Local rails for access, spend, and compliance The shift happening now is that onchain becomes the default backend, even if the front-end still looks like traditional finance. @rwaassetchain

  Most of the "low conversion rate" problem isn't in the funnel, but in the checkout. Customers want Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal, platforms that are convenient and they trust. Most processors checkout is absolute garbage. We integrate with native Shopify checkout and many others. DM us.

  @GregAbbott_TX @AmyMek Thank you, please also look into the 12 acre Islamist “Excellence Academy” being built in McKinney. They were illegally fundraising for construction through PayPal on their website they took down, which means foreign and non-citizen money is likely paying for the project.

  @mypagacare @PayPal @paga I'm not experiencing any withdrawal issues. I'm saying that Nigeria PayPal accounts are not accepted in survey websites, once you change it to foreign account, you get paid. I have already linked it to PayPal successfully. Individuals can send me money, but survey websites can't.

  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
