  @AskPayPal @EyoladeAbass In other words, don’t expect the issue to ever be resolved because their help center isn’t monitored by human beings and they engage in fraud.

  @meetedzenebubu honestly the bigger issue isn't paypal specifically, it's betting everything on one platform at all, stripe has its own version of these problems too. we route across a couple processors using paymentkit instead of picking one "winner," keeps things running regardless of which one has a bad week.

  Money becomes useless to an autonomous agent when it gets trapped in the wrong financial system An agent might: earn $500 through a checkout provider hold $200 in USDC have a card issued by another provider need to pay a SaaS merchant that only accepts cards Those are all "money" but operationally they are different islands Customer pays → money sits in Provider A Agent needs to spend → purchasing power exists in Provider B So WE (Humans) have to move/reconfigure/fund things for our AI agents An their autonomy breaks... The hard problem isn't giving an agent money It's making sure money earned in one system can become purchasing power in another without a human moving it Earn here → hold there → spend somewhere else → keep going An agent should be able to earn through one provider, hold value somewhere else, move that value when needed, spend through another rail, and keep reinvesting what it earns without a human stepping in to bridge the gaps My goal with Mandate is to give autonomous AI agents economic freedom I want anyone to be able to deploy intelligence that can create value, earn from that value, reinvest what it earns, and compound it into something bigger over time That's why Mandate had to be open source and provider agnostic No single financial provider covers every way an agent might earn, hold, move, or spend money One agent might receive revenue through Stripe, hold USDC in Coinbase, spend through Lithic, and use a bridge in between. Another might use entirely different providers Receive: Stripe / PayPal / stablecoins / marketplace payouts Hold: bank / financial account / wallet / stablecoin treasury Move: ACH / wire / bridge / onchain transfer Spend: card / bank transfer / stablecoin / x402 Mandate financial stack is composable: providers supply capabilities, Mandate connects them, and the agent sees one economic system You can connects whichever providers you choose into one continuous economic account Because autonomous agents won't operate in a crypto-only or fiat-only world. Crypto alone can't solve economic autonomy when most of the world an agent needs to operate in still runs on fiat, cards, and banks Fiat alone can't solve it either, because agents will increasingly use payment systems built for machine-to-machine commerce. The future is hybrid. The infrastructure has to be composable. I built Mandate so that an agent can operate across both as one continuous economy

  @PayPal Terrible customer service experience. Took 23 minutes to get to a human, who then recommended that I call a phone number that led right back to the same automated operator services. Please have a dispute department human employee contact me. Sending DM with details.

  So last month I had 5 people interested in commissioning me. One had PayPal issue, one I made the doodle, one wanted to work with me... All of them ghosted me, nobody paid, or told me they weren't interested. So I'm wondering if I should just stop making commissions.

  4. It was the exact same question people asked me a few years ago, before I made my ecommerce business successful and moved to Dubai; when I started testing payment platforms that actually offered real individual attention to the merchants who signed up. Believe me, the big payment companies and the scammers ones do not want any real proximity with businesses that simply appear out of nowhere. Frustrated after having thousands of dollars frozen across multiple platforms like Paddle, Commas, Lemon Squeezy, PayPal, Braintree, Square and several smaller ones, I decided to build my own payment gateway. I wanted to understand 100% how this market works and how to establish myself in it. After a few months, a group of developers and I created Arkus, a platform that until recently only served as a payment processor for a close group around me and my companies. Now it is being launched to the public for the first time, and it is specifically looking for legitimate merchants who want to scale but who, just like us, have suffered far too many problems with traditional payment gateways. If you want to be one of the first to receive special attention for your business, before we grow to a level where it becomes almost impossible not to use AI to manage risk for every account, comment “ARKUS” to get personal attention from me, not just from our team.

  - you or someone around is twisting their ankle - trying out new hairstyles (you’ll hate them but love one in particular) - no, that trip won’t solve your problems but it will clear your head - your bank/paypal glitching and holding your money - your clientele is increasing!

  @PayPalUK your PayPal business card is almost absolutely useless. I can’t add it to my Apple Pay, can’t add it to my PayPal wallet, can’t even bloody use it online coz it keeps being declined!! Ridiculous. Fix this!

  @PayPal 😪😪 My account has been operational for over one year now. Receiving payments almost weekly, just because I've received the highest payment so far, and it is not scam money, it is legit money, you decide to permanently take down my account.

  There are issues with the lightning network and some Bitcoin maxis are afraid and scared of it This is another proof that many are in Bitcoin only for sovereign reason and they are deeply uneducated in economics. Reality: Bitcoin as MoE is trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist, as humanity is having a savings problem, but not a MoE problem, as we have paypal, mastercard+visa, apple pay, each of them working perfectly. Hence, a part of some Bitcoiners, there is no demand for Bitcoin as MoE, therefore any toold developed is for sure unstable. Basic Austrian Economics, and, unfortunately, many in Bitcoin are not even capable to understand it. Bitcoin as a reliable MoE is at least 10 or even 20 years away, till then, Fiat as MoE will always be the safer choice
