  @AskPayPal Hi. My PayPal account needs a text to WhatsApp or my normal phone but I don't have the sim. I also don't have ID and I can't voice call since I'm shy. If I try texting on the website I get told I need to login but when I try to login it asks for a text. There's no logged in devi

  @TheDumbTechGuy Fact check on the quoted post: Node.js launched in 2009. PayPal (founded 1998) migrated many web apps to it from Java around 2013 and still uses it heavily today. Netflix uses it for API gateways/BFF layers (core backend is mostly Java). LinkedIn used it for mobile servers. Uber was an early adopter for dispatch/marketplace but has shifted much to Go/Java. Walmart rebuilt its site with it. eBay built Node apps. Trello’s server is Node-based. Medium’s main app servers run on it. The list is directionally right—Node.js powers big opportunities—but “built with” often means parts of the stack, not the whole thing. It’s a solid, scalable choice.

  @SakurasCardShop That’s exactly why platforms like Cleva stand out. With Cleva, you get a proper USD account, so you avoid those crazy international bank charges and terrible PayPal conversion rates. Instead of losing money on hidden fees, you receive payments faster, enjoy better exchange rates.

  @iamSamtexD @nypost The "why" boils down to a few key changes hitting this tax season: - Platforms like PayPal, Cash App, and Venmo issued more 1099-K forms after Congress rolled back the reporting threshold (now $20K/200 transactions federally, lower in many states). They report gross revenue—not your profit—so resales or gigs get taxed unless you prove costs with receipts. - Gig workers (Uber, DoorDash, freelancers) pay the full 15.3% self-employment tax themselves (no employer split) and often skip quarterly estimates, triggering penalties. - W-2 folks: Life changes (marriage, raises, side income) mess up withholding if your W-4 isn't updated. Double-check your docs and consider tax software or a pro to sort it.

  Oh speaking of research, I just had issues with PayPal blocking my sign in from Firefox. 🤔 Seems like they broke something in a site update?

  @H2gofrost @AskPayPal No problem man I went through the same thing.. You can keep trying, I've heard that sometimes it can get lifted. But generally the most they usually do is screw us over and say "It's not a mistake." They don't like to admit they're wrong.

  @ashoKumar89 I don't get the kubernetes hate. The decision to use k8s has nothing to do with the number of users, traffic or complexity of your application architecture. YouTube ran fine on VMs, so did PayPal, Google and other planet scale apps. Kubernetes evolve to solve the complexity of managing a pool of VMs and the associated operational overhead and it solves that problem elegantly.

  Hard to believe govt can't shut down online betting, when it controls every transaction. You can't even maintain a balance on PayPal or use it immediately to make payments if you're Indian. The money transfers immediately to a bank. Somebody is earning from letting these sites operate.

  @davidsenra Snaps biggest problem is @evanspiegel ideaologies and woke culture. It is really obvious. He honestly needs to be fired to learn. He needs an Elon kicked out of PayPal or jobs kick out of apple or something so he can learn.

  If you’re worried that you’re gonna get scammed and need plenty of reassurance then ask for an invoice from PayPal to dispute it later - I have been scammed many times and I always request an invoice just incase. It’s down to both parties to make sure the service is fulfilled

  @PayPal I can not get into my account or get any help. All I get is "We’re having trouble making sure it’s you". The trail ends there. I have NO WAY to log in, or speak with anyone! Any help?!
