  @RaltsAuthor You should. You don't know me except here and our occasional communication on YouTube, but I had a friend, a dear, wonderful friend whom I miss every day. His name was Eric and he was one of the programmers of Mechwarrior 2 from Activision back in the 1990s. Before GoFundMe, before anything much other than PayPal was a going concern, when I heard about his health problems - before I even really got to know him - I wanted to help. Because I'd gotten tons of fun out of MW2, and he seemed like a decent guy. He was working on a 3d terrain generator, procedural that is, that was based on what he'd done with 3d graphics in MW2 and at that time you had to sell something to get money on PayPal so we set up a donationware download point and put a PayPal button on it. It helped he and his wife get through a drought until SSDI kicked in. Open the GoFundMe. It's not begging; there's people who care about you, bet.

  Attention those having problems with Restrictions & payouts & need solutions beyond Facebook's support team! 1. Did you know that you can contact the Consumer Federal Public Bureau and they will help you. If Meta claims they issued a payout to your bank, PayPal, or Stripe, but the funds are frozen, missing, or rejected, file a complaint against the payment company or bank via the CFPB Complaint Portal. If Meta is completely refusing to calculate, acknowledge, or clear your monetization earnings, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the correct federal regulator. The FTC monitors deceptive business practices, breach of digital merchant contracts, and unfair treatment of independent creators. Take Action: Submit a formal business fraud report at the official FTC Report Fraud Portal State Attorney General: File a report with your state's Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. State AGs have dedicated teams that routinely force tech companies to assign real humans to investigate local creator complaints. Better Business Bureau (BBB): File an official complaint on the BBB Meta Platforms Profile. Meta maintains an active team on the BBB to resolve issues and protect their corporate rating, often resulting in direct contact

  @RunyaChanVT you tried to solve the issue privatly i think the next step, since you can't revoke it via Paypal, is to go public you could try again and say when thy won't answer you in x days you go public to give them one last chance to solve it without going public, but they dont deserve it

  $BTC.X $ETH.X There are going to be several moments next week when passing the Clarity Act looks certain, and crypto spikes. Also Clarity will pass. There’s a compromise on stable coin yield that both sides are satisfied with. The ethics thing will be treated like it always has been with government officials owning equities (and senators hate bringing attention to this issue because they all trade and profit in stocks). Now 140 of the world’s largest tech and finance companies NEED Clarity to pass for their new stable coin. BNY melon, Blackrock, Google, Samsung, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, PayPal etc - all their lobbying efforts and backroom deals will be put to work on passing Clarity. People who think you just wait for September to buy due to historical patterns are going to get front-run badly. We never had a cycle last cycle. This one’s going to be 2-5X a normal cycle and people are willing to get in a month or two early in order to ensure they don’t miss it. $QQQ

  @BullrunnersHQ I refuse to get a Venmo acct. and will shut my Paypal down on a second. Hackers get into those accts all the time. I DO NOT trust Venmo and question Paypal for unsolicited monthly payments that I did not agree. My bank had to fight to get $486 back from Venmo that I never had. It's quiet alarming. They need to be forced to use a secure ledger.

  A lot of people have been asking how I got my international clients so here's the story • No I didn't get them from Fiverr or Upwork • I didn't cold DM this client either • It was honestly luck mixed with consistency One of my posts went viral the client saw my work liked what I was building and reached out to me A few other questions I keep getting • How did they trust you? I showed my previous work and communicated well throughout the project • How did you get paid? Since I'm 17 and can't use PayPal on my own yet the payment was sent through Remitly directly to my bank account using UPI • Do you need to be an expert? Definitely not You just need to be good enough to solve someone's problem and keep improving My biggest takeaway is to post your work consistently You never know who's watching One post can change everything

  Elon Musk once admitted that during the worst year of his life, every morning when he woke up, he would immediately throw up from stress before he had even gotten out of bed. This didn't happen when he was broke. It wasn't before he became wealthy. It happened while he was running both Tesla and SpaceX, sleeping on the factory floor, watching both companies come dangerously close to collapse. He described the feeling as "staring into the abyss while chewing on broken glass." Journalists asked him why he didn't just sell everything and retire. He had already made $180 million from PayPal. He could have bought a house on a private island and never worked another day in his life. His answer was remarkably calm. He said he simply couldn't do that not out of ego, but because if SpaceX failed, no one else would seriously try to make humanity a multi-planetary species within the next 20 years. And by then, 20 years might already be too late. He chose the stress. He chose to face the abyss. Not because he wanted to suffer, but because he didn't believe anyone else cared enough to take on that responsibility. Photo: Musk's exhausted yet determined expression after SpaceX's third consecutive rocket launch failure. P/s: hope can see people can live on the Mar in next 20 years.

  Merchant Risk Desk (@MerchantRiskDsk) reported 52 minutes ago

  @supawatkaewma One dispute triggering full account closure even with evidence submitted shows the real risk of routing everything through a single processor's Connect layer, they own that decision entirely. Moving to whop just shifts you to a different aggregator with a similar structural risk, payout holds tied to internal reviews, no real appeal path. The more durable fix is decoupling your payment acceptance from any single platform's risk call. PaymentKit lets you run Stripe, PayPal and others in parallel with your own token vault, so one processor's dispute policy cannot end your ability to pay clients.

  The Third Batch Theory Why one Facebook vendor believed a third shipment would reveal the truth. This case involves a Facebook advertiser known as Linda and a customer who ordered three batches of the products. After the results of the first batch came back as zero Reta and zero HGH, the customer contacted the rep and her response was to wait before sending the second batch for testing to see if they send him the third batch. Her reasoning was unusual. She told the customer that if a third batch was sent, it would suggest the company believed the products were genuine. If no third batch arrived, she speculated that the products might simply contain added protein, have no effect and pose little risk. Assuring the customer they just want to make money and not cause health problems for their customers. When the customer asked whether the products were fake, Linda stopped short of giving a definitive answer. Instead, she said she wasn’t sure and that it depended on whether the company sent the third batch. According to the customer, that third shipment never arrived. The customer later told me they believed the supplier stopped shipping after becoming aware that the products were being questioned and tested. They also said they successfully recovered at least one payment through PayPal after the seller failed to respond to the dispute. In addition the exact same kits are being sold by a what's app vendor called Jack as the shipment pictures are exactly the same

  Is there a reason that the @Eurostar app is not accepting @Revolut cards at the moment? Or it seems any cards from the apple wallet var a credit card. Even on the website there is an issue with @paypal. A glitch? Be good to know.
