  @SpanishEchidna @RockitGamesNOW So this is a technical issue with paying via PayPal on Rock It's Shopify site? If so, have you tried a different payment method?

  I DELETED 90% OF THE SERVICES ON LEGIIT Ok not deleted... but made invisible. Around 2 years ago we made a risky decision at Legiit @legiitcom You see one of the major pieces of feedback we got from people was that "there are so many services on the site I don't know which one to pick or who to buy it from" We called it the Netflix problem... so much stuff you end up overwhelmed and choose nothing. Further many of them listed their service and when the site didn't automatically reign money down on them they never checked it again. At that time we would pause those every 90 days, then reduced it to 30... but it didn't help the Netflix problem because more, mostly reptitive services would fill in from the other end. Further, around that time we made some decisions about who we wanted to be and how we wanted the marketplace portion to function and what we decided was... ...we don't want a lot of freelancers to succeed, we want the best freelancers to succeed and the rest to go elsewhere. So less quantity, higher quality. However we didn't want to shut them out completely either because we could end up missing out on new talent. So we decided to do something radical. Something risky. Something no other marketplace had done before... ...we made 90% of the services on the site invisible. They already had to meet a 55 point checklist to even get listed,, but after this change that still wasn't enough to get them into the marketplace, categories, or search. Their services would show up on their profile, but not anywhere else. It was up to them to prove to us that they deserved access to our customers by either bringing in their own customers, investing with us, using some of the tools we give them, or meeting some other criteria. The logic was basically "The ones that just want to do commodity level work won't bother to do the work, and we will be left with only the ones that are serious about running freelance buiness and doing well by our customers." I didn't want my marketplace overwhelmed with services most people won't buy, and I didn't want newer freelancers getting to practice on our customers' businesses. This was a gamble of course, and the response from freelancers was... not positive to say the least. We have at least 2 1 star Trustpilot reviews from freelancers complaining aobut it and got a lot of support tickets, usually from brand new freelancers who listed a service, immidiately searched their own services, asked or complained, then never visited the site again... so people we don't want anyway. So it's bee around 2 years now and despite the risk and the challenges I can say with certainty... ...it was a success and the right decision. The problem it set out to solve was the Netflix problem, and that largely worked. We have the same amount of customers buying more services from less freelancers... for more money. That was the goal and it worked... but there have been a lot of other side effects I didn't anticipate: > Support tickets and chats have dropped significantly (Over 50%... don't have the exact number in front of me) > The number of orders with a 5 star reivew has increased > The number of orders with a 1 star review decreased > Late deliveries dropped by 4% > Approved dipsutes... meaning disputes where we sided with the customer (on site disputes) are down to .16% of orders > Less new freelancers are signing up which may sound bad but is actually good > Less burden on our support team so it freed them up to help our customers more instead of babysitting freelancers > More on site advertising sales > More Legiit Seller+ sales (dramitcally more) > Chargeback and PayPal disputes are basically zero after being rampant before ...and our sales are up 20% YOY. So this was a gamble, and one that came with some pain, but it turned out that it was the right decision. The lesson to me from this is... decide who you want to be, and who you want your business to be... then figure out how oyu want to get there and just go for it. It might be risky. It might be painful. ...and you will second guess oyurself. But if you are operating from a place of good faith and execute relelntlessly the results will follow on a long enough time horizon as long as you... ...Think Big. Thanks everyone.

  @PayPal I have a problem with my account where payments I send get reversed every couple of days for absolutely zero reason. Frustrating isn’t the word. And speaking to overseas CSR is getting absolutely nowhere.

  I bet he wishes he didn’t have to sell the ones he did. However I think he did that on purpose to drive the price down to buy more. Based on math the supply should be just about gobbled up. With what you can do with bitcoin it is clearly a utility and not going away. Who in there right mind would sell with all the major brokers now selling bitcoin ??? Charles Schwab, Wells Fargo, Venmo, PayPal Morgan Stanley it’s only a matter of time keep buying and stacking

  @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

  Night, Everyone!🚇 stable-2:native I've been digging into Stable's team and honestly? I'm conflicted. The CTO is Sam Kazemian who built Frax Finance to $1.4B. Huge credibility. Tether's CEO is advising. PayPal invested. But here's what nobody's talking about: the founder Joshua Harding quietly stepped down as CEO with zero public announcement. Brian Mehler took over silently. And apparently whales deposited USDT before the official window opened. That's insider-trading territory. They have a grant program but zero named dApps. I'm watching closely but not trusting blindly yet. Tag a friend who researches teams before investing.

  @rasmus1610 @bot The PayPal login being the one manual step is actually the right shape for this — checkout is where you want a human in the loop anyway. Curious whether it handled the cart/shipping choices itself or just followed the exact product link you gave it.

  @2wintails hi! sorry for asking directly, i'm having trouble purchasing your model. i've been taking commissions and saving money on my paypal balance, but since our currencies don't match paypal doesn't allow me to pay with my balance and is locking me into paying with credit card instead+

  @___EEF_ There are apparently people on Reddit as recent as 4 days ago having the exact same issue on me and the working theory that it’s due to paypal’s ai security. This could validate for a genuine law suit

  @Zarkos85 Hi @Zarkos85 — thanks for letting us know, and sorry for the trouble. It was a short-lived issue on the checkout page and it's fixed now; card and PayPal are both going through again. Please give it another try, and if anything is still off, open a ticket and we'll get on it.

  @Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

  @bran_di98 @DavidJa51216245 @OrevaZSN A lot of it is down to the processor. Your bank is only one part of the chain. Visa/Mastercard/PayPal/Square etc all form part of the transaction chain. While money moves from your available balance instantly when you process a transaction, it usually shows as "pending". 1/2

  @shrugdeaIer URGENT!!! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. EVEN $1-2 ADDS UP!! WE ARE SO DESPERATE AND AT THE MERCY OF KIND GENEROUS PEOPLE! PLEASE HELP US GET SOME GOOD FOOD AND TOILETRIES! I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.
