  @Washen_D A business PayPal is how I see a lot of people do it. If you're willing to go through the trouble of getting an artist code, you can try getting a VGen code as well to manage requests better.

  Here's another neat trick I do every year. If you have paypal, you can break down the entire cost into 4 payments. Meaning you pay 25% percent now while PayPal pays the merchant the entire amount and then you can make payments every 2 weeks. Doooo iiiittttt!!

  @PayPal account locked up, we are american company been doing business with paypal for 24 years, we call every day, we submitted all requested documents to prove that we are a real company, "paypal help" is no help, they are withholding 100K+ , we are going to have trouble making payroll, treating a US small business in business since 1979 like some sort of scammer. this is beyond ludicrous, i'm convinced now someone at paypal is trying to steal our hard earned money, PP-L-836499913052

  @timetobe_brave Just use PayPal... if someone refuses to use it that's your #1 sign its a scam. And if they use PayPal but scam you, PayPal will fix it.

  @PeterDiamandis Very few people know that Elon had funded SpaceX largely with his own money from the PayPal sale. He invested about 100 million dollars of personal fortune into the company. After three Falcon 1 failures cash was nearly gone. The team assembled one last rocket from leftover parts. That fourth flight on September 28, 2008 had to succeed or SpaceX would have shut down.

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  I was invited to a server on Discord that I knew absolutely nothing about. The server is called 'Eboost', and it sells things like Discord Nitro, skins and in-game items. I’ve already purchased a one-year subscription to Discord Nitro, and as all payments are made via PayPal, it’s a server I have no use for. However, one day, the Eboost server was suddenly reported to Discord on suspicion of ‘fraud’, and my account was temporarily suspended simply because I had inadvertently joined that server. How am I to be compensated for the damage caused—such as the suspension and the flags attached to my account—by the server owner’s negligence on a server where I wasn’t even active? I’ve lodged an appeal, but Discord simply keeps repeating the same 'AI-automated-macro' response. And this isn’t the first time this has happened. Are people really expected to use Discord whilst factoring in the probability that a server owner might cause problems? It’s utterly unfair. 😡😡 @discord @discord_support @DiscordBuild

  @rasmus1610 @bot The PayPal login being the one manual step is actually the right shape for this — checkout is where you want a human in the loop anyway. Curious whether it handled the cart/shipping choices itself or just followed the exact product link you gave it.

  Optus (@Optus) reported 59 minutes ago

  @enngees Hi there, customers can recharge their service or purchase add-ons online using a credit/debit card (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, or JCB) and PayPal. An Optus service needs to connect to the Optus network for activation, so we generally recommend setting up and activating the SIM once they've arrived in Australia. If you're still having trouble recharging, please send us a DM, and we'll take a closer look into this for you. -Talia

  @JimManahan Receiving payments restricts your account. If you use PayPal for purchases meaning money going out from your linked cards, then there's no problem. Receiving payments from clients is a different discussion, especially when your account is new.

  Night, Everyone!🚇 stable-2:native I've been digging into Stable's team and honestly? I'm conflicted. The CTO is Sam Kazemian who built Frax Finance to $1.4B. Huge credibility. Tether's CEO is advising. PayPal invested. But here's what nobody's talking about: the founder Joshua Harding quietly stepped down as CEO with zero public announcement. Brian Mehler took over silently. And apparently whales deposited USDT before the official window opened. That's insider-trading territory. They have a grant program but zero named dApps. I'm watching closely but not trusting blindly yet. Tag a friend who researches teams before investing.
