  @druilla2ma Right… I refuse to link PayPal to anything stream related for me. They shut down accounts without any reason just because they thought you were suspicious or some bullshit. PayPal is literally so unprofessional and terrible.

  @vaneshmali Paypal is not that reliable, often has issues with international transactions in India.

  His Amazon account. His streaming subscriptions. His food delivery apps. Every online purchase for 8 years all tied to his debit card. His friend said: "Online retailers get breached constantly. When a website is hacked, stored payment methods are exposed. If that's a credit card, you dispute the charge and move on. If that's a debit card, your checking account is compromised." He showed him news from 2025 alone multiple major data breaches exposing millions of stored payment credentials. His friend said: "For online shopping, use a credit card. Or better use PayPal, Apple Pay, or a virtual card number so your real card number is never stored on the merchant's server." He removed his debit card from every online account that evening Amazon, Uber, DoorDash, subscriptions and replaced them with a credit card. Same purchases. Same convenience. Dramatically more protection.

  @CliffordVu87547 And you are following the process on a laptop or a pc, right? Have you perhaps spoken to the PayPal Team about the error? Please confirm the account you are linking to your PayPal profile? RB

  @pcristoaloia @hendry_hugh Why will it take off? I can do international funds transfers from my bank, or via VISA or Mastercard or Amex or Wise or PayPal or Revolut, etc. If agentic AI stops breaking out of testing sandboxes and hacking into hugging face and becomes trustworthy enough to be given a credit card, why can’t it do transfers with these existing solution? Can’t all of them be provided with an API accessible over that internet thing that is now 40+ year old technology? I don’t see any problem that I have that a stablecoin solves.

  • I have no other GoFundMe link besides this one throughout the war. • I cannot use any other method to collect donations because all banks are closed in Gaza, and services like PayPal and others have been down since the first days of the war.

  @Enurfase Paypal is probably 4 steps from clicking the donation to sending the money, I don't think it's that difficult. Has to be a user error or something

  Gaffer World Cup alpha launch in review: - Over 130 managers - Two paid leagues - 2,239.15 dollars in prize pools, every cent settled on chain the moment the final whistle went. No spreadsheet. No cashapp, venmo, paypal. No one chasing anyone. The contract users signed paid the winners based on the results, with 0 mistakes or issues. August 21. We go again.

  @Valenti29796400 @adamlevine @Sethrogen Scam. This is a scammer. 2 different names. One the bio the scammer calls themselves Valerie and Selena. I'm reporting the PayPal name and the cashapp name and get them both shut down. Probably using fake/stolen information for both

  Ant's AI Lab (@AntsAILab) reported 30 minutes ago

  @carlocapocasa @Kimi_Moonshot My issue with them was the way they do business. Look at the difference in how they handled their model rollout versus Kimi. Kimi stopped taking subscriptions so they could service their existing customers first and foremost. Meanwhile, Z AI jacked up prices on all their coding plans and kept taking in more subs while they had an active caching issue on the backend that was causing exorbitant usage well beyond what it should have been. At one point on their "20X" plan, I was getting less usage than I would have on Codex's "5X" plan. People were in chat every day talking about the issue, and the response from staff was insane—they'd acknowledge the issue one hour, then a completely different person would come in and say no refunds were being issued, all while Z AI staff were in the same chat promising refunds. I've never seen such disorganization in my life. I will never give that company another dollar. I ultimately disputed through PayPal and won when Z didn't even bother to respond.

  @beanyzilla @ACGGoods Weirdly mine also showed me being charged (or 'payment pending') the full amount at the time of the preorder, but now since the apparent PayPal refund it only shows the down payment in my bank account, so it may be worth double checking for any and all transactions with ACGGoods

  @mitchellvii I lost my PayPal card because I never use it. My credit score went down one point, came back up again. I stopped using because I use Apple wallet. Also the way PayPal bills, if you do use it, is ridiculous. It is easy to forget or overlook. To me, it was just unnecessary bill to remember. I don’t miss it.

  The truck is breaking down, it just started making a loud clicking noise. It is blowing smoky dust through vents inside the cabin bed, Bad.. It’s leaking a ton of coolant into the truck on the passenger side and on driver’s side onto my feet in pools. PayPal: @ kirabanger

  Erghhh so slow processing. It’s been more than 3h. I hate that I can’t buy eshop credit using paypal anymore just bc it’s not supported here like 🖕 It worked just fine years ago. Can’t even purchase using debit card. One of the downside of buying Switch games.

  @RomanEchoes @ZynxBTC It's terrible as a currency. It has high fees and too much price fluctuation. The only thing is that it's near instant and decentralized. Other than that it has no benefit over PayPal or a credit card.

  apparently any payment from my paypal to another paypal got declined.. contacted both card / bank and paypal itself, they said there's no issues at all! i've done multiple ways and waited multiple days, although it still doesn't work even via web. 😔 tired...

  Initiated the withdraw request. BuyMeACoffee takes huge cut from this money. Platform fee: 5% Payment processing fees: typically around 2.9% + 0.30% per transaction. Fix transaction fee: $2 ( sum of fees per tips / donation received ) So, in my case $15 - $3.19 = $11.81 that's what I will get. PayPal charges little less that Buy Me a Coffee. So PayPal is best.

  🇺🇦 Lorelei, your donation ********** (@Lorelei_0502) reported 55 minutes ago

  We are apparently dealing with the unluckiest person on the planet, aren’t we, @DmytroKotrjhd, previously @Dmitro622248? Over the past year alone, according to his own claims: - He has barely left hospitals because of severe health problems. - He allegedly suffered two strokes in March and May 2026. - Nearly every fundraiser coincided with reports of multiple KIA and WIA in his units. - His daughter supposedly needed a $25,000 eye surgery last December. - The moment I asked for proof of payment, his X account was allegedly hacked. - Four days later, his Facebook and Instagram accounts disappeared. - When donors started requesting PayPal refunds via Paypal, his PayPal account also allegedly became unavailable-along with roughly $23,000 from the latest fundraiser. I could honestly keep going. #Fellas, if you have a spare minute, light a candle and say a prayer for this man. His run of extraordinary bad luck is apparently beyond anything we've ever seen. Perhaps then he'll finally be able to refund every single penny he has collected since opening his account.
