  @sheppardpat47 @geneclez Everyone knows about Paypal's policy on nsfw content and we've seen Paypal take down accounts when they catch wind that a user is using their account for nsfw content Bruh..

  @deggen µ$35 short , it will become trivial unit of measurement even µ¢3500 could work , because you can later integrate real payments for online shops something like paypal one click checkout and will have $35 instead of µ¢ - µ$. the only problem is if the µ somehow get abused by scams

  @jxc @RezLiza @leafsnswift i genuinely can’t tell if you’re ragebaiting if or if you’re just that stupid. you can’t have a paypal business account in canada without having an actual business license, by law. i know this bc my business account that i used for art commissions got shut down for that reason.

  I was testing a payment on a WordPress website using PayPal Commerce. All payment methods worked EXCEPT for Venmo. My debit card is on the Venmo account. It's been a few months since I actually used my Venmo account to send a charity some funds. I did a test transaction on the website and the Venmo declined!! Error: "This payment cannot be processed because there was an error with the capture order API call." I contacted Venmo support and spoke with a tech. He indicated that as I had not physically logged into my Venmo account recently, that the internal security rejected the transaction. This is insane. I had a valid card set up. The API call was valid. The transaction SHOULD have been approved. When I asked the support tech how often I needed to log into my Venmo account so it wouldn't throw this type of security rejection, he recommend twice a week. Venmo, this is an absolutely insane requirement. I may go months before I log into my @PayPal account and it approves payments without any issues. I've been in technology since the 1970's and actually developed one of the early credit card authorization systems for online merchants. I did application development for over 25+ years. I have owned a website development firm for the past 22+ years. I am NOT a noob when it comes to computer, internet, and website technologies. I've NEVER, EVER seen a requirement that I have to log into a payment processor every so often just to let them know, "Hey, I'm still here"! @Venmo

  Pasco Sheriff (@PascoSheriff) reported 13 minutes ago

  Pasco Sheriff’s Office is aware of several warrant scams. The scammer claims to be a Pasco Sheriff’s Office member or other local government employee informing the potential victim that they have a warrant and have to pay a fee. These payments are made through gift cards, PayPal, Bitcoin, Zelle, and other similar accounts. The scammer will provide PSO’s closed Grove location to appear authentic and spoof a number associated with PSO, such as our general information line. PSO will never contact individuals for any form of payment to resolve issues, criminal or otherwise. PSO stresses that these messages are not legitimate.

  @Smil3yAngel Your medical system is a joke. (At least in Ontario) PayPal is free and used world wide. Ketchup chips are ok, but coffee crisps are great. School shootings are terrible and no one seems to have an idea on how to tackle that problem.

  @burrytracker Interesting move by Burry, but this feels like a valuation trade, not a bottom. After years of multiple compression, it all comes down to earnings growth. Without it, PayPal and Salesforce risk staying value traps.

  The commissions were stopped for an indefinite time, unfortunately PayPal suspended my account and I can't receive any amount... You can cancel the commission request with me, or wait until I try to solve these problems.

  @tips_lord Eh the buyers were definitely the ones causing the issue my friend. Reporting to PayPal they didn’t receive the item, even though every single package got marked as delivered. PayPal didn’t care. I even had some with signatures, they still didn’t care. The buyers were the main issue. PayPal didn’t help.

  @DkevinArts47 @AskPayPal also, i don't have a template since my problem was super complex; just explain your situation with proof, be polite and patient. If paypal replies to you via email, be ready to provide any documentation they will require,

  @Uniquecomics1 @LogWeaver Michael Burry shorted AI darlings like Nvidia & Palantir last year, then watched software stocks crash 20-30% on technical debt issues (not fundamentals). Now he's buying resilient names like PayPal, Adobe, Salesforce—self-funded companies trading at 2018-level valuations with rising earnings forecasts. Lesson: Top investors follow the data, not permanent narratives. Retail does the opposite.

  Every system has failed me. An original police captain’s inaction wasted my 180-day @PayPal protection and @Chime chargeback windows. I’ve been caught in a loop of "not our problem" while the intruder extorted significant funds and manipulated my digital life.

  @karol SPLC is an abomination. I took the trouble to close my PayPal account when they threatened to penalize account holders for wrong speak and when they 'debanked' Gays against Groomers. These actions proved to me that PayPal policy makers are perverted as well as tyrannical.

  @AskPayPal @PayPal This is so bad if you are not allowing me to send outgoing payment out of my PayPal to another PayPal. I have an urgent medical issue to attend to and it has been affecting me. Your agents are not being of help also, help me to check it out.

  @Aerina_Rioka I commissioned some artists myself and never had any issues and never got scammed so far. I always check if the style is consistent, when they made their account and always use paypal goods or vgen, nothing else
