  Airbnb rep keeps telling me someone is going to resolve the issue but then they keeps closing the message thread as resolved and paypal tried to charge me again. Please figure out what the hell is going on on your end!! THIS IS SERIOUS BREACH OF SECURITY. WHAT IF GOING ON?

  @noblestruck i am going to comment here since i already dmed you and i believe in owning up to your mistakes ! for one , i do NOT recall blocking you at all , i think i was going through an episode where i was getting rid of dms and it mustve happened and i have no recollection of it , this is not an excuse just to give u an understanding of it . secondly , i was an entirely different person 2 years ago where i accepted commissions beyond my skill level just to help my abusive family and their awful financial burdens they put on me because i am a push over . in my heart i knew i couldn't complete your work but i did try but it didn't come out the way i had hoped and for that i am truly sorry . i get my work done , i keep a record of the things i owe to ensure i am not the person i was years ago and i have absolutely no problem admitting my faults ! what we are not going to do is cherry pick and nitpick my finances or what i go through and assume that i am "well off" due to me posting a bunch of commissions i've completed . i overwork myself where i complete 2-3 a day for weeks at a time until i feel physically ill from stress just to help my family for decisions they made on their own . i don't need to further give explanations or try and vindicate my faults , i am aware of my wrongs i am aware i didn't do my best and i harmed you in the process and i have no problem commenting it here publicly . you said your peace and i have said mine , i have dmed you asking for your paypal regarding your full refund as i can do so now . you don't know everyone's story and not everyone's life is black and white . i have absolutely no issues owning up to what i have done in the past and considering every step a learning curve as an artist providing a servce .

  @C_S_Skeptic @hashjenni He bought paypal, and the service was absolute garbage during his time, as soon as he left they started inventing, making the service work, sure they have a LOT of problems, but the service started working when he was forced out.

  @PrettyBetrayer yeahhhh, and she's pushing blame everywhere else. Saying she's "taking accountability" but I keep seeing "my boyfriend" everywhere. The money should've never been withdrawn from PayPal, flat out. She said she transferred it because "when it's not in her bank account she gets worried about it," which is ironic since her bank account is where the issues were at.

  @parasolpon Not to mention vgen captures the same information... If your paypal has YOUR NAME on it you can see that name. It can capture ur email and even ur phone. Ive seen it before if anything its a security issue with paypal half the time... :/

  @chesscomsupport I'm trying to buy a Friends & Family subscription, but the payment page is buggy and rejects every single payment method. I have tried entering credit card details directly, using Apple Pay, using Google Pay, and PayPal. Most of them fail after I try to pay, showing "Your transaction failed. Please check your card details and try again.” Looking at the browser developer tools shows an HTTP 422 error. PayPal fails before it even starts with an "Error: Expected an subscription id to be passed to createSubscription" in the developer console. Since the Friends and Family subscription has a separate payment page, I suspect only that page is broken. I had no problem signing up for a free trial through Apple on my phone but I know that the Friends & Family subscription has to be purchased from the website.

  Yes, I think while Ubering in Houston the signal was given to me about Cash App. I think if you just bad it they could steal from you. The no service part seems really middle finger to their “users”. A lot of former workers they hired and now fired - likely had little expertise. Lots of firms, breaches and criticism. But who is it really for? Drug dealers. They know it. I think the k my real valuable thing was Square bc they got there hands on a patent or tech came out of Wash U in StL. You wan to use a credit card with fraud protection and zero fraud liability - for as many transactions as possible. Read this stuff / don’t send money to strangers. Like that’s their entire biz structure. Years this has been going on. Typical silicon start up / designed not to allow any criticism. - growth is only goal. But they are out do their element. And who need to send each other all them cash? Money laundering. eBay was PayPal - people bought stuff and pioneers the service and security and trust. That’s hard won experience and wisdom. Look who and how they market to. Problem is once brand takes off normal people think it’s as good as any other product / service. Nothing these **** firms do is for the customer. It’s just maximizing numbers and growth. They don’t get it - values - are just greed and lying and non disclosures and toxic everything.

  If you are doing above 500k a month with ecom Listen I have had houndreds of DMs from ecom guys just like you They thought they will be safe on Shopify payments But they were not Still ran into reserves, holds, shutdowns, etc. The usual case: - multiple 8 figs processed with shopify - CB % below 0.3 % - Local manufacturing - As white hat as ecom can get But they still got betrayed Lost all the subscription tokens (some recovered via auth net plugin) Almost killing their whole business over some new behavioural program VISA came out with Now mastercard is doing the same Once it goes live (on 24th of July) There will likely be the same wave of shut downs as there was when VAMP came out What does it mean for you? You could have 0 chargebacks or 0 refunds (which no one at that scale has) And still get shutdown They are basically trying to shut stores down before they can do any damage Issue here? Behaviour monitoring in ecom mixes up BH and WH stores Because on the front end it all looks the same - pre chceked boxes - claims on landers - before and afters - tampered testimonials The list goes on That is why there where so many wrongful shutdowns when VAMP came out What can you do? Switch away from SP before they shut you down Move to a CRM and Private processing (MIDs) You would own your subscription tokens Have the native shopify checkout Yes you can still have apple/google pay and paypal Also if you didn't know Shop pay was opened up recently and CRMs are working on implementing it in their system Meaning? Soon you will also be able to have Shop Pay wihtout shopify payments If you want guidance on how to set this all up and get the connections that you don't have (heads of the biggest CRMs, ISOs, fintech companies, etc.) Feel free to send me a DM ps. I don't charge anything for this

  @AskPayPal I also tried using the messaging/support options, but the automated responses were not helpful, as there is no option related to a permanently limited account. Could you advise me on the appropriate channel or procedure to resolve this issue? I would appreciate your guidance.

  @sshhhrn No dumb **** what you should’ve said was oh 25 perfect I respect your prices as the seller do you want me to use Cash app Venmo or PayPal? Not going to tangent about how it used to be 10 $15 go ahead and scroll down and show the rest of the ******* messages you sent like you only again are gonna share the screenshots to share your narrative lol. Why would I give you the price that I give my regulars when you’re no longer a regular because you’ve been ignoring me for literally the last seven months because I sent you a video a day late after the two years of a consistent content that I sent you I have one bad day or something in my family happens and I can’t get you the video within two minutes and it’s a day late and this is how you act.

  Raven ⭐ - What DOES lie beyond the Horizon? (@BahamutRaven) reported 26 minutes ago

  @HarrowKrodarius @Emanuel66201297 @PlayStation I opened a complaint with PayPal. Hopefully, they'll fix it. It's not the 9 bucks (because I kept it monthly) that bother me. It's that, neither me or my brother are using the service anymore, why should I give my money for something we don't use now? It's a matter of principle

  @Demura_Dusk 💯💯💯 It's disgusting how many bastards are out here filling their coffers off of the death, suffering, starvation and loss that the Palestinians have faced and are facing. Those people are the scum of all scum. Another problem with this is, they're already losing 25-35% off the top, depending on the rates at the exchange, where most of them collect their money from. Add that 20% on top, along with any other fees, like Stripe/Paypal, they are r3eceiving a very small percentage of their own funds, while having to pay exhorbtitant rates for food and daily living necessities.

  !!! Advisory !!! I have received multiple Discord friend requests Impersonating artists I work with and a creator I don't know in the last 48 hours. NovaYstudio Altaluna Ops_saki natalie_gabrielle I've also heard a huge spike in this happening to others over the last 2-3 days. Please be careful on discord. Discord is being used to deliver remote access trojans. asking you to do collabs and install a file, re=downloads of art, or asking you to download corruped mods on legitimate mod sites like curseforge and modrynth. or they ask you to enter a contest like a Mr. Beast contest for money. when they get access, They clone your browser session and use it to bypass login and 2fa and access all of your accounts. To places like youtube discord twitch paypal email etc. they think its you already logged in, no password no token code, they are just in! they then change all of your info and lock you out. Then they use your accounts to try and infect your friends with the remote access trojan as well. you could receive a message from a long time friend asking you to download a Minecraft mod to play with them, and you don't know they have been hacked because they scanned your previous conversations with them to pick what they are going to trick you with. Please be careful and its say to say but, if a friend suddenly and randomly asks you to download something make sure its really them in control of the discord account first. If they attempt to impersonate me at some point - I never send blind Discord friend invites. Please be safe

  The payment layer for AI agents is consolidating fast, and Cloudflare just placed a big bet on which protocol wins. x402 repurposes the HTTP 402 status code that has been sitting unused since 1996. The flow is machine-native: client requests a gated resource, server returns a price and accepted payment methods, client pays on-chain, re-sends the request with a payment proof header. No checkout page. No subscription account. No human in the loop. What Cloudflare is doing with the Monetization Gateway is providing the infrastructure layer for exactly this. Any web page, dataset, API endpoint, or MCP server sitting behind Cloudflare can now gate access with a per-request stablecoin charge. The waitlist opened July 1. The broader x402 ecosystem already has real volume behind it. 119 million transactions on Base, 35 million on Solana, $600 million annualized, zero protocol fees. Stripe and Tempo are in via their multi-party payments product. Google AP2 is integrated with Adyen, AMEX, Mastercard, PayPal, Coinbase, Revolut, and Worldpay. Visa has TAP. The actual contest is not about whether x402 wins as a protocol. It is about which distribution layer MCP servers get built against. Cloudflare has 330+ points of presence and is already where most API traffic terminates. Stripe has enterprise trust and existing developer billing relationships. If you are building an MCP server today and want to monetize it, choosing which gateway to route through is the same architectural decision as picking your CDN five years ago. It looks boring until it locks you in.

  @AhIn_Tenshi104 It's probably a PayPal issue... I'd recommend reaching out to support and asking what's going on. The last time my account got limited, I assumed it was because I uploaded the wrong verification documents, but the email actually said it was due to high transaction volume

  Merchant Risk Desk (@MerchantRiskDsk) reported 58 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.
