  A creator I work with paid 45 contractors last year across Zelle, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Cash App. The rails work fine. The problem is the 1099 tracking lands entirely on her, so by tax season half of it is lost. Higher thresholds don't fix that. It's an admin gap, not a tax rule

  @AskPayPal "Hello @AskPayPal, I am contacting you for urgent assistance regarding an unresolved issue since April 16, 2026. I am missing $50 from a transaction. PayPal support claims my bank blocked the funds, but my bank has explicitly stated they need an ARN (Acquirer Reference Number)

  still did land alone in NC with a job offer from Ubisoft tho (before progressing my career first further and also working for the ISP down the street doubly employed, Ubisoft let me keep working on the weekends they had a few sound designer employees and other employees moonlighting at Red Storm too, similar to T2 had peopel cross-polinate in from the nearby and to the PayPal and Zenimax offices back in Maryland) and live here alone for a long time now... cuz i already worked for Take-Two Interactive before 2014 in Maryland which helped, and a computer science educational background, so there's that. That's what was the start of my non-retail tech career. It's still been a mostly uneventful life, but boring and uneventful is better than not safe and left wanting.

  as an artist taking commissions, when someone asks for a refund, is it better to issue it through paypal or send the money back separately?

  stop making it hard for people to give you money. if you only take paypal, you're losing 30% of your sales. i shouldn't have to register a new account just to pay your invoice. it's annoying. it's slow. it makes you look like a kid. have paypal, wise, and crypto ready at all times. every second of friction is a reason for them to ghost you. be easy to work with. or stay broke.

  One startup lesson I didn’t expect: Paying people is harder than selling. We can manually pay affiliates thru @PayPal, but their Mass Payouts/API keeps getting denied for “risk” with no clear way to fix. I understand controls. But startups need a real path to prove legitimacy.

  @sehyoonhearts i havent needed a credit card so far, i was usually fine with my debit card, but it didn't explicitly state debit so i chose paypal to avoid issues too

  @girlsnot6rey Is the issue mainly bank linking failing, or are all payment methods getting rejected except PayPal? DM me if you need assistance.

  And they get away with this cause dumb *** furries let them. STOP file charge backs, push that debt onto their PayPal and have their PayPal get closed down so they can stop robbing people and get a real job. I'm sick of it I have lost SO MUCH MONEY to these people.

  @pureblase PayPal, Stripe, and similar international platforms have limited or no full functionality in Zambia primarily due to Bank of Zambia (BoZ) regulatory requirements, licensing barriers for payment service providers (PSPs), foreign exchange (FX), oversight, and compliance burdens. These platforms must comply with local rules to offer receiving, withdrawing, or merchant services, which many have not fully achieved. 1. Strict Licensing and Designation Requirements under BoZ. The National Payment Systems Act (NPSA) of 2026 and its predecessor requires any entity offering payment services, like money transmission, e-money issuance, or crossborder settlements, to obtain BoZ designation or licensing. This involves a rigorous multi stage process.. Pre engagement with BoZ's Payment Systems Department, name clearance, detailed applications, business plans in ZMW, governance with majority Zambian-resident directors, risk management, AML and KYC policies, capital evidence, security audits, etc., fit and proper tests, and ongoing oversight. Foreign PSPs typically need local partnerships, a Zambian registered entity with substantial local presence, and approval. Direct operations without this are restricted to protect the national payment system, consumer funds, and financial stability. 2. Foreign Exchange Controls & Currency Rules. BoZ emphasizes ZMW for domestic transactions and tracks FX flows, e.g., export proceeds. International inflows and outflows face scrutiny for AML, capital flight prevention, and balance of payments stability. Platforms must integrate with local settlement systems and comply with FX directives. This complicates full inbound receiving and local currency withdrawals. PLATFORM SPECIFIC REASONS PayPal: Available for sending payments and personal accounts, but receiving funds and withdrawing to Zambian banks is not supported. PayPal has reportedly sought approvals without full success. Users sometimes route via neighboring countries e.g., Botswana, Zimbabwe, for business accounts, but this is a workaround with extra costs and risks. The limitation stems directly from BoZ regulations conflicting with PayPal's model. Stripe: Not officially supported in Zambia for full merchant acquiring or payouts. Stripe expands based on regulatory readiness, local banking infrastructure, and compliance i.e KYC & AML. Zambian businesses can't directly onboard with a local address & bank without restrictions or suspensions. Partnerships with licensed local PSPs are needed but limited. Alternatives like Chipper Cash have launched locally with partners e.g., Zoona & Western Union. BROADER CHALLENGES AML & Risk Management: BoZ requires robust customer due diligence, transaction monitoring, and safeguards. High risk perceptions for crossborder fintech can slow approvals. Infrastructure & Systemic Stability: BoZ prioritizes local systems, e.g., mobile money, ZIPSS, and promotes interoperability while managing liquidity and fraud risks. Economic Context: Limited local capital and infrastructure for global platforms, plus a focus on financial inclusion via regulated domestic players. RESULT Zambian users, freelancers and businesses often rely on workarounds, e.g., Payoneer, Wise, local PSPs like MTN MoMo, AirtelMoney, or routing through approved neighbors, which add fees, delays, and complexity. This hinders digital entrepreneurship and youth online income.

  Klink Rewards (@klinkrewards) reported 39 minutes ago

  The difference between a legitimate reward platform and a fake one comes down to three things. Real brand partnerships: not invented offers. Transparent payout terms: before you start, not after. Actual withdrawal options: bank, crypto, PayPal. Not only gift cards.

  @808isfate @kplayground_ldn Wondering this too. I didn't go through with the purchase, because it fully looked like they were going to charge that 1k to my paypal when paying, and that would be a massive financial problem even if that money was returned later

  @BasedAndRight_ @christiandoana You're just full of assumptions aren't you.. No wonder you never made it anywhere in life other than a keyboard warrior.. I sold 5 million on eBay inside of 3 years.. Also you failed to read the "alone" part which meant that was just eBay. I had a retail shop and sold pallets of good over PayPal to others across the country. What you need to do is sit ******** down and stop thinking you know everything dumbass. Also just bc I've been self employed doesn't mean i started selling on eBay in 2005 jackass. Again your assumption are way wrong bud.

  @mofu_asb about the only thing i see not mentioned is the issue with paypal where people were getting suspended for even mentioning the word "commission" or art related words in a paypal type message. unless they stopped getting ban-happy with that? or it was some false-positives?

  Are people really that shocked that Elon could become the world’s first trillionaire on SpaceX IPO day? When you actually look at what he’s built, and the size of the missions behind each company, it feels more inevitable than surprising tbh. As of June 10, 2026, here’s the current snapshot of his portfolio (just approximates): Tesla is sitting around a $1.45 trillion market cap, and Elon owns roughly 20.3%, putting his stake somewhere around $294 billion to $302 billion. SpaceX, including Starlink, xAI, and X, is valued around $1.25 trillion today, with an IPO target around $1.75 trillion to $1.77 trillion. With Elon owning roughly 41% to 43%, that stake alone could be worth $512 billion to $540 billion today, and potentially $725 billion to $866 billion after IPO. Then you add Neuralink, valued around $9.65 billion, where his stake could be worth $6 billion to $8 billion. And The Boring Company, valued around $5.7 billion, where his stake could be worth another $4.5 billion to $5.2 billion. Altogether, his total stake value across everything is roughly $830 billion to $870 billion, with his current net worth around $784.5 billion. This dude is building electric vehicles and sustainable energy with Tesla. Reusable rockets and global internet through SpaceX and Starlink. Brain-computer interfaces through Neuralink. AI through xAI. And underground infrastructure through The Boring Company… these are companies attacking some of the hardest problems in the world from energy, transportation, space, internet access, healthcare, AI, and the future of civilization. You can debate the timelines. You can debate his style. You can debate the man. But it’s super hard to argue with the direction. These companies are creating real value for millions of people today, and potentially billions of people over time. That’s why the trillionaire milestone doesn't really shock me, like it does for others. Wealth at that level happens when people voluntarily choose products and services that make their lives better, save them time, open new possibilities, and solve problems that once looked impossible. And if someone is going to become the world’s first trillionaire, I’d rather it be someone whose companies are trying to make humanity multi-planetary, accelerate sustainable energy, restore neurological function, expand global connectivity, and build the future of intelligence. The track record speaks for itself. PayPal. Tesla. SpaceX. Starlink. Neuralink. xAI. Again and again, Elon has stepped into areas most people thought were too hard, too risky, or too far away… and turned it into reality. When you look at the problems his companies are solving, the scale of the markets they’re going after, and the value they’re creating, it makes sense. He deserves it.

  Dear @FiluVAL I didn't forget about the £10, you didn't forget about it, let's talk. This £10 would help me renew my X Premium subscription, which would help me push out important tweets that could influence other people on X. You have promised me that you would pay me, however I do not see the £10 from Dawid Czarnecki anywhere in my PayPal, the only place Dawid Czarnecki is seen is in my broken heart after trusting you. You see I had a rough upbringing, I was born on Skid Row and my parents had to jugg to make ends meet. Your claim of me being rich is false, I currently work as a caller for Zoinbase International and still struggle to make ends meet. Bring me home Filu, send me that £10.
