Ayere Daniel🇳🇬🇬🇭🇰🇪 (@drey_dr7) reported@20DollarChicken @Maryine_34 Begging for YOUR own money is crazy 😭 PayPal did same to me. Fix: Tell clients "bank transfer only" now. Cash out via Bybit P2P → instant. No begging. Never again: [check my pinned]

Sean Gonzalez (@SeanGon08951848) reported@LynneBP_294 I never had any real bad issues with PayPal and been using them for over 20yrs.

Rajith Attapattu (@rajith_a) reported@ashoKumar89 I don't get the kubernetes hate. The decision to use k8s has nothing to do with the number of users, traffic or complexity of your application architecture. YouTube ran fine on VMs, so did PayPal, Google and other planet scale apps. Kubernetes evolve to solve the complexity of managing a pool of VMs and the associated operational overhead and it solves that problem elegantly.

Fiskpinne (@Ottery_FP) reported@shimipan Ahh that sucks, Paypal and many payment processors have become really overly sensitive to things and it's a big problem. I hope you can find an alternative soon
-
Ndidi Isiah (@didiisiah) reported@UBACares please I need your assistance. Each time I trying paying with my UBA debit card, it declines. Now, I’m trying to link my card to PayPal account but it’s declining as well. What could be the issue?
-
Reactor Axe Man (@ReactorAxeMan) reported@TachiTach_ PayPal direct doesn't sound terrible, then. I always tip you anyway beyond what we agree to, so the tip more than covers the charge.

Kelvin Stephen (@KelvinStep11324) reportedSadly this chain of xenophobic restrict Nigerians at the slightest bit not because it's valid; being a black is a crime and being Nigerian is an omen with a mugshot and a '404: Not Found' error page, This service is not available in your region' sign, PayPal refuses to verify..

Favour Oluwaferanmi Ojeniyi (@feranmioje) reported@mypagacare Good afternoon. I've been trying to connect my PayPal and Paga account. It's not working. Please provide a solution to this.

david (@drfsrom) reported@oooo23 @foxenflask My concern, everyone would jump to X Money, slowly scaling down from PayPal.

sunray⁷ is seeing BTS! ⟭⟬ ᴬᴿᴵᴿᴬᴺᴳ ⟬⟭ (@jikook_sunray) reported2 BTS TICKETS for TAMPA 28/4 AVAILABLE!!! Transfer directly through TM!! Payment through Paypal G&S, buyer must cover the fees! Willing to send more proof and can FaceTime through transfer if needed!!! Original buyer let me down. I have final exam the 29th and I live far away.

Marwane (@MarwaneResub) reported@ParetoMichael @harleyf @ShopifySupport This is exactly why you don't run a 7-figure ecom brand on a single processor. Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal — they can freeze you overnight with zero warning. Clean record doesn't matter. The brands that don't panic when this happens have high-risk merchant accounts running in parallel. DM me if you want to fix this properly.
-
Miss Sweet (@MissSweetDallas) reported@TIF_Productions CashApp and Venmo for regions that allow it. Make sure that they are careful on their notes. For those that don't have access to the aforementioned two, Throne. Create a subtle cash gift. I refuse to use PayPal and Zelle for privacy/protection issues.

Abdul wasay (@Abdulwasay0090) reported@PayPalUK Small business owner here my PayPal was deactivated with no explanation no disputes no refunds everything legit so what’s the issue just be clear instead of hiding behind vague policies
-
Lily White Cracker (@LilyWCracker) reported@Abby_Sariah Call them. But if it’s like PayPal, they just keep telling you to login to your account that you can’t get into. Ugh. Sorry.
-
cafhune 🌸💫 (@cafhune) reported@Excalib70023164 @bamhaneul_02 I think yes they can still dispute an invoice. But has a time limit. 180 days, but I've never seen a sc@m via invoices if there's issues, please check directly in your PayPal account, do not open from the emails.
-
Amu Aigou 📚🪽 愛合あむ (@AigouAmu) reported@7hachikyuu The only issue with that is that they require payment be sent through a specific site (like I saw PayPay for one) and if they request PayPal I just can't do that because my account has been completely shut down and I have no way to fix it 💔
-
THE SHADOW KNOWS (@brianvi03340131) reported@LynneBP_294 PayPal never had an problem ever
-
Jack — building TallyBoard (@TallyBoardhq) reportedTalked to a creator yesterday who pulled $11K last month. they doesn't know how much she actually kept. Not because she's bad at math. Because their income came from 6 different places and her expenses are spread across 3 cards and a PayPal account she forgot the password to. This is the actual problem. Not "creators are bad with money." It's that the money is everywhere and the tools are nowhere.
-
Bixu | Video Editor (@bixuedits) reported@dharyaedits Most clients prefer PayPal it’s easier for them to get refund, terrible for freelancers
-
David Solheim (@davidtsolheim) reported@Austen I feel like we are at the stage before people trusted paypal where "there's no way i'd trust the internet with my bank account information". Slow and steady, then all at once.
-
Kevin Waldvogel (@waldvogelk) reported@PayPal having issues getting a refund. Seller is refusing to take a return for an item that didn’t fit it was at least 3 inches too wide. I filed with PayPal saying that and was denied. Idk how to explain it better that it doesn’t fit
