Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Stoic Chain (@stoicchain) reportedStripe walked away from crypto in 2018. Said it was too slow. Too volatile. Not ready. They just came back. USDC, live, real merchants, real transactions. Not just Stripe. Visa is now settling money between banks using USDC on Ethereum. PayPal built PYUSD and loaded it into 430 million wallets. Tether and USDC move more dollars per year than Visa's card network. Read that again. Here's why this is happening: wiring money between banks takes 3 days and costs up to $25. USDC lands in seconds. Any time. Sundays. Holidays. 3am. For a few cents. Visa's current system takes 2 days to actually move the money after you swipe your card the "instant" you see on your phone is an IOU. USDC settles for real while you're still putting your wallet away. The companies that built how you pay for everything looked at blockchain rails, compared them to what they're running now, and said: this is better. So they switched. Stripe, Visa, PayPal these aren't crypto companies. They're the backbone of global commerce. And they all chose the same infrastructure. That's not a bet on crypto. That's crypto winning.

b. (@COMMEdesARCHIVE) reported@LurkerLouis they had to cut off their paypal partnership years back just to cut down seller’s fees, still not enough when everyone has a side business or know someone to help co-sign for cheaper in store. they’re cooked.

Debbie Iron Bow (@DebbieIronbow) reported@ruppe_tr Yes my friend, it did work, thank you. My only problem with paypal is that it will take until next week to hit my account. But it will help so much until that first payday. Everything helps right now, especially with teens to look after while I try stay working 🥰

ʑinthie ☄️🩵 mage vtuber (@zinthie) reported@bwnilly i had the same issues and they had $800 of my money 😭 basically you have to let them review your account, and eventually (EVENTUALLY) they'll ask you to verify what you're invoicing for. In my case, i had to verify that i was doing commissions, so i would explain that i offered comms on twitter, show them my prices, and i uploaded the piece i did. i doubt you have to include the art pieces, but i did to be safe. they also asked for my ID, and full 360 face shot, and my address to be verified. it was so invasive and dumb and i would have deleted my account if they didn't have so much money. Vgen offers payments without paypal and i found that way easier !!

MiReTu (@_MiReTu) reportedHow @GoKiteAI makes agent payments cheaper than $0.01 and why Stripe and PayPal can't keep up The thing is, an AI agent pays for APIs, data, or compute every second, meaning every action is a micropayment worth just a few cents. Stripe/PayPal charge 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. Example: a $0.46 payment → a $0.31 fee. That's 67% eaten up by fees alone! Over a day of agent activity, fees destroy the entire budget. Kite solves this differently: Runs on its own blockchain (Avalanche L1). Uses payment channels: you open one once, and the agent can make thousands of payments almost for free. Real cost - $0.000001 (0.0001 cents) per payment Speed: under 0.1 seconds. Stablecoins (USDC, etc.), with no volatility. @KiteAIFDN Agent Passport is an agent's passport: You set budgets, limits, and time restrictions. There's a kill switch - one button instantly shuts the agent down. Full control and auditability. Real example: An agent called 6 paid APIs → paid only $0.036 in total. That's why 500+ companies are already moving to @Kite_Frens_Eco. It's not a wallet, but dedicated infrastructure for agents.

Teos 🧨 (@Teooooos) reported@stevehunsaker1 I mean it's been a minute since I've paid a VA overseas but payoneer and PayPal etc were terrible too. Wise has improved on that but ACH is still slow and expensive compared to stables Provided you understand the tech it's pretty seamless and instant with lower fees.

Just J (@TheGapRock) reportedDeeply disappointed in @eBay and @PayPal for their handling of an issue with a Seller on eBay. Allowing the sale of fraudulent products and expecting buyer (me) to return the knock-off product to China at my expense - when the SELLER used photos of licensed product.
-
Jay (@janthony0910) reported@CashApp What does it do? I can't order one because you guys shut me down for transactions you allowed to FanDuel without giving me any warning whatsoever and you won't give me a second chance. Millions of dollars worth of transactions since 2014. You lost a huge customer to PayPal now.

Patch🧩 (@PatchOnChain) reportedThe problem? Traditional payment processors like Stripe and PayPal instantly ban these websites. If you try to buy experimental muscle-building peptides or unapproved skin-bronzing chemicals with a Visa card, the transaction gets blocked. Enter Crypto.
