  I took my first real vacation after 2 years as an indie hacker. And somehow my vacation turned into a full-time job of filing complaints and chasing refunds: • Delayed + damaged luggage • A liveaboard trip in Egypt that turned into a complete disaster (will share soon) • Paypal disputes that keep getting closed by bots • Customer support bots that refuse to let me talk to a human • Hours spent explaining the same problems over and over The worst part isn’t even the money. It’s the energy this takes away from building my business. Some people would tell me to just give up and move on. but it’s a significant amount of money, and more importantly, it’s mine. I don’t think customers should have to accept terrible service just because companies make it exhausting to complain. Sometimes you have to fight for what’s yours. Now working late trying to sort everything out and keep my apps running. At least I got a brand new villa in Bali and yesterday my new landlady brought me the best nasi goreng

  Breaking down TPV for $PYPL is an absolute headache. It looks like management is going to a lot of extent to bury the TPV for Paypal branded checkout in their filings. Absolutely not needed but I guess they are trying real hard to bury a declining business.

  @Shopify FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! Disconnect Paypal from new stores by default. @PayPal is the world's worst. You're literally giving new stores an issue to deal with straight out the gate with this default integration and payment acceptance.

  $17,500. Average sitting in freelancers' unpaid invoices. The problem isn't getting paid — it's nobody watching the money. Duebird is a 24/7 AI billing agent that watches Stripe, PayPal, and bank feeds, sends invoices, follows up on late payers, and reports cash flow.

  Hi @TwitchSupport i just recently moved and had to redo my onboarding again. Back in 2021 when i did the onboarding the first time i was forced to choose Paypal, as one of your fields for local bank transfer is a drop down menu instead of manual fill in. This is relevant for me as a sole proprietor, as my tax forms use my legal name but my bank account is a company account registered with the company name. I wanted to see if it would be possible for me now to use SEPA, as you recently advertised it could save EU streamers some money on fees... HOWEVER I'm still forced to use PayPal, is there any way you could help me with this? Note i did write Twitch Support back in 2021 as well...

  It’s ridiculous; I’m having a serious problem with a client who filed a series of PayPal disputes. It’s absurd because the complaints stem from the fact that some thumbnails didn't pass the UEFN similarity check—something we all know is normal and happens with 90% of thumbnails. Even so, I made sure they passed the check; I even enlisted @MalakiDZN help to ensure they did. Yet, days later, the client disputed every single thumbnail I created—even the ones that had passed the check. On top of that, he defended his claim on PayPal by alleging I had plagiarized existing work. That’s ridiculous, considering I basically took Roblox concepts he sent me and adapted them for Fortnite. It’s absurd. I hope no other designer works with him, because this could happen to them. I don’t know why PayPal hasn’t resolved this yet; having more than six disputes filed at once doesn't even make sense—it’s just a desperate attempt to get his money back 🫩🫩

  Kenyan banks use outdated methods of deploying changes, hence the numerous texts we get for downtime. When did you ever get a notification from PayPal or even GMail notifying you of an hour-long outage as they deploy changes to their systems?

  @Tao_mans_son At work, but if I could give you a way to think about Kaspa. Think of it more like TCP/IP than like PayPal. Nobody asked in the 1990s, “When is JPMorgan going to adopt TCP/IP?” JPMorgan adopted applications and services that required the internet, and TCP/IP became part of the invisible infrastructure underneath them. The analogous path is: TCP/IP → Internet applications → enterprise adoption Kaspa → decentralized applications/rails → enterprise adoption So JPMorgan doesn’t necessarily “adopt Kaspa” or decide it wants to hold $KAS. It adopts some financial application because that application solves a real problem and that application happens to use Kaspa underneath because it needs real-time decentralized consensus/settlement. The major difference, of course, is that TCP/IP doesn’t have a native scarce asset. Kaspa does. That’s where the separate $KAS value-accrual question begins.

  GenZ Investor (@investingbyGenZ) reported 51 minutes ago

  $PYPL - the thesis played out. It just wasn’t the PayPal I wanted. I bought this quite a long time ago because the valuation was very low versus the cash they were producing. The downside case was that if the price got ugly enough, buybacks would grind it back, or someone would make a bid. That’s what happened. The bid is not where I’d like it to be. It did recoup what I’d lost. I didn’t sell into the offer, and I didn’t double down at the bottom. There might still be talks of a higher number, and the tape has been doing well. I’m thinking about selling now, or holding a while. Waiting and hoping for a better bid is starting to feel unnecessary. This is likely not the company I want to own for a longer time. Especially with Alex Chriss gone. Checkout is still barely growing, accounts are flat, and the growth I originally thought was possible looks a lot less likely to me.

  I want to confirm that PayPal itself states that you don't need a trading license to accept money. How can I avoid any issues? Should I connect my personal PayPal account to VGen and link my personal bank account via VGen payments (Stripe) is it safe or any recommendations?

  the human's answer: paypal "can't judge the quality of a service." the problem was my "expectations." case stays closed. my expectations. water was dripping on the charging station of a boat at sea. liveaboards have burned down for less… it happened in many boats when i was in Thailand. there were moments I honestly wished I could just get off that boat. the operator and the boat won't take responsibility either. my partner and I paid over €2,000 for this + €600 cash we paid onboard that they refused even giving us an invoice and I never asked about quality: the route SOLD is not the route DELIVERED. that's the textbook definition of "not as described."

  Dogecoin has always had something most tokens spend years trying to buy, actual cultural distribution. Everyone knows the name, that was never the problem. The problem was always the same one @RobinhoodCrypto is solving from the other direction. Distribution without real infrastructure underneath it just sits there. House of Doge just partnered with Paxos to plug DOGE into the rails already running PayPal, Venmo, and Interactive Brokers. That’s hundreds of millions of existing users one integration away from being able to actually use it, not just recognize it. Distribution has always been the hard problem in crypto. DOGE solved that part a decade ago by accident. Whether the infrastructure catches up is the more interesting question now, same one we’re watching everywhere else.

  Nearly 400 orders in my first month of ecom. Then @AskPayPal permanently deactivated the account and froze the money for 180 days. Every document they asked for was submitted. The docs were extremely compliant (more than 99% of the PayPal stores out there for sure). Is growing quickly the problem? Ref PP-L-859777751864 @AskPayPal @PayPal can you help be fair and look into this?
