Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jason Skadsen (@OptimisticJ33) reported@Kalshi This is an early-stage report, not a product launch. CoinDesk says 𝕏 is in talks about paying creators in stablecoins (Circle’s USDC is the example named). The source is one person familiar with the discussions who also works with other platforms testing the same idea. 𝕏 has not confirmed anything. Treat it as a live option under review, not a done deal. What is actually changing? Great question… Two separate things are being mixed together: 1. Confirmed: 𝕏 is killing Revenue Sharing. New enrollments already stopped. The old program ends September 7; the last payouts land around September 11. It is replaced by Original Content Rewards, which is supposed to pay for original ideas, reporting, expertise, and commentary instead of ad-impression farming. 2. Unconfirmed: How those new rewards get sent. Today payouts go through Stripe or 𝕏 Money. Stablecoins would be another rail, not the new rewards program itself. Nothing in 𝕏’s official creator announcement mentions crypto. Why would they even consider it? Again, great question… Creator payouts are a messy, global, small-dollar problem. Bank wires, local rails, FX spreads, and minimums eat a lot of what mid-tier creators actually receive especially outside the US. Stablecoins (market cap now over $300 billion) settle in minutes, in dollars, without a correspondent bank in every country. That is the same reason $SPCX already uses them for some Starlink payments in “long-tail” markets. 𝕏 hiring Benji Taylor (ex-Coinbase Base, wallets/DeFi) in March fits the same direction. 𝕏 Money is already rolling to a slice of Premium+ users. YouTube already lets some US creators take PayPal’s PYUSD. Meta has started paying selected creators in USDC on Solana and Polygon. 𝕏 would not be first; it would be the largest social app to try it at scale.

Belvis Otieno Zion (@BelvisZion) reported@SafaricomPLC Why all this Safaricom. All pending PayPal withdrawal payments are never solved. You issue ticket number for cases and tend to not help . When I call customer care, all the agents claim they don't understand the problem but I wait. Is it deliberate that I won't get any help?

kix (@kixouri) reported@dysphoricatgirl i remember at one point trying to solve an issue and i asked the bank first and they went "ask paypal we dont know much" and i ask paypal only for them to say "ask your bank" ????

Kabuki_koi (@kabukikoi_) reported@MukyaVT The fact PayPal gave you transaction ID makes me really question Twitch. Maybe set up a bank account for payout? I’ve not had an issues in < 3 years.

Jeffcoly | ZarGates (@Jeffcoly) reported@Forbes Slow and steady still works. Levchin took the hard DIY route from PayPal fraud wars to Affirm’s $25B valuation and actual GAAP profits. Rare to see a fintech that didn’t just burn cash forever chasing growth.

Nobody (@Nobuddy05) reported@art_jake @DotoDoya Put money onto your paypal account if you have one and use it for the transaction. Its weird but any issues with buying **** just immediately go away, seriously its helped me like 4 times now.

Yami Hikari ✨ EVERYSing for you (@Yami_Hikari1) reported@Kallynnei I'm still trying to pay, but god, why does it only accept PayPal? I don't have an account because I always run into some problem.

EN-CODE GLOBAL (@EN_CODEGLOBAL) reported🚨 DO NOT TRANSACT 🚨 X acct – @Daisukivote7 Telegram acct – Daisukivote7 / myssvt We are sorry to deliver this news to you, ENGENEs. Unfortunately, we can no longer reach this seller, as they have been unresponsive for several days and even deactivated their account. We transacted with this seller for Music Core pre-votes. We usually transact through a DROP FIRST, PAY LATER arrangement; however, some sellers require a down payment or full payment upfront. In this case, we reserved 30,000 heartbeats for $22.22 USD, which was paid via PayPal. We waited several days before making this announcement, giving the seller the benefit of the doubt in case something unexpected happened, such as a loss of internet connection, an emergency, or a natural disaster in their country. However, one of our members reached out to the seller using their fan account, and the seller responded immediately, offering votes. When our member mentioned that they should also respond to ENCODEGLOBAL, the seller stopped replying to our member as well. Given these circumstances, we are advising everyone NOT to transact with @Daisukivote7.

Big Baby (@BigBabyvirgin) reportedHE WAS BRIEFLY THE “RICHEST MAN ON EARTH” THANKS TO A PAYPAL GLITCH. 😳 In 2013, Pennsylvania businessman Chris Reynolds opened his PayPal statement and saw something absolutely unbelievable:

Paopugisesonic (@gisesonic20) reported@Emistations Oh, I'm having problems with PayPal, too. Now I can't make any more commissions because I have to report the pittance I earn so they can start taxing me,and Im also unemployed... I'm so tired🥀🥀🥀

Kagũma (@Index_49) reportedKenyan banks use outdated methods of deploying changes, hence the numerous texts we get for downtime. When did you ever get a notification from PayPal or even GMail notifying you of an hour-long outage as they deploy changes to their systems?
-
Marjorie Trailer Greene (@MarjorieGeorgia) reported@C_3C_3 HAHAHAHA! In what delusional mind does the Afrikaner apartheid supporter create any company? His brother started PayPal. He glommed onto tesla and made himself such a problem that they made him pay them to go away.
