  PayPal conference call was decent. The CFO was a little more cheery, which has me thinking that they got some growth finally coming down the pipeline. $pypl

  @AskPayPal I can’t log in to my account, and I can’t reset my password because it keeps giving me a “Something went wrong” error. I’ve tried across multiple devices. I never receive an email to even reset my password.

  Hi @AskPayPal , I can't reset my password. After selecting SMS verification, I get "We're having trouble confirming it's you." I still have access to my email and phone. My account is from Indonesia. Please help me recover my account. Thank you.

  What Would Happen If Elon Musk Had Been Born in China? This is Mr. Ma, a barbecue chef at a restaurant in Tongchuan, Shaanxi Province. Because he looks strikingly like Elon Musk, a customer took his photo and uploaded it online, unexpectedly making him famous. He said that over the past two days, more than a dozen people have asked to take photos with him, while several others have approached him about possible collaborations. In fact, there have long been many discussions on the Chinese internet about what would have happened if Elon Musk had been born in China. One fairly representative article argued: "Let us suppose that, in 1971, twenty people with the same potential as Elon Musk were also born into ordinary Chinese families. "If they were fascinated by science and technology, the most they could probably do would be to join an extracurricular hobby group at a children’s activity center and build model airplanes. "In 1981, a computer cost tens of thousands of yuan. There was absolutely no way an ordinary Chinese family could afford one. "It would not be until the 1990s that they might finally get access to computers in a school computer lab, where one hour of use could cost about as much as an entire meal. "But students had to attend morning reading sessions every day and evening self-study classes at night. Where would they find the time to learn programming? "Besides, what if they spent all their time messing around with these 'useless' things and then failed to get into a good university? 'A mild-tempered father might patiently lecture them: 'Focus on your studies. Stop wasting your time on improper pursuits,' until they finally gave up on their own. "A bad-tempered father would simply confiscate everything. If they dared to argue, he would grab something and beat them. "From the first grade onward, they would have to devote all their energy to exam scores. Otherwise, they might not even make it into university. "By the time they finally entered college, all their sharp edges would have been worn away. They would have been molded into conformity and would have had almost no chance of becoming another Elon Musk. "If Musk had been placed in China, his life would probably have followed a path like this: "No one would have paid for software like Zip2, an online city-guide and business-directory platform. Lenovo would not have acquired it. It would have ended up like Zhang Xiaolong’s Foxmail: users would simply use pirated copies. "Have you ever seen Lenovo pay a huge amount of money to acquire independently developed personal-computer software? "So Musk would probably have starved to death at the age of 28 and gone to meet Karl Marx. "Suppose he somehow survived until the age of 31 and developed a payment platform like PayPal. The major Chinese internet giants—Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent—could simply copy it. Why would anyone pay to acquire his company? "Have you ever seen BAT pay an enormous price to acquire an internet application developed by an individual entrepreneur? Investors would know that his product would be copied, so they would refuse to fund him from the very beginning. This time, he would definitely be finished. "Even if BAT did not copy him, could Musk manage the necessary connections? Could he obtain the required licenses? "Those are not things an ordinary person can easily secure, as everyone understands. "Operating such a business without a license would be illegal. In the best-case scenario, the authorities would order him to shut down. In a more serious case, they might accuse him of illegal fundraising, and Musk could end up spending the rest of his life in prison. "Even if he successfully built PayPal and had more than a billion yuan in his hands, could he establish a company like SpaceX? "That is the domain of the state-owned aerospace corporations. "Even if he somehow obtained permission to enter the industry, no one would provide him with the necessary components or support. "If one private individual were allowed to accomplish all that, where would it leave the millions of people working within China’s state aerospace system? "I guess that, had Musk been born in China, the best possible outcome for him would have resembled Zhang Xiaolong’s career path: working for someone who had the connections and qualifications needed to obtain the necessary licenses."

  @AskPayPal Spain.I would like to confirm what I should do in this situation. If I ship the item to the address provided outside of PayPal, will I still be protected under PayPal Seller Protection? I do not want to ship the item until I know the correct procedure to avoid any problems

  @bendodge well that too, but the problem is they're a chinese company and i'm in nigeria. we tried exploring every payment method and it either didn't work for them or it didn't for me - the easiest option would've been crypto but it's banned in china - i have a leads account but it didn't work because they can only do SWIFT and mine only supports ACH and wire routing - literally every option didnt work and then we had to fall back to paypal (paypal itself has some restrictions in my region so i had to use a relative's account in the US) even when we got to the paypal, they said they cant make payment directly using paypal email etc and i had to create an invoice for the payment (that's how their company works) + they agreed to cover every fees from the onset

  Erghhh so slow processing. It’s been more than 3h. I hate that I can’t buy eshop credit using paypal anymore just bc it’s not supported here like 🖕 It worked just fine years ago. Can’t even purchase using debit card. One of the downside of buying Switch games.

  @inkfycreates Yeah, and everyone else Warns and Helps its User to prevent any issue. PayPal is the only one that doesnt care, because at the end they can claim the money for "Not following/knowing the Rules".

  @MDtruthss @surfranchvibes If this were true, he would have just simply invested the cash from Zip2 or PayPal and lived a better life than 99.9% of people. He's interested in solving large problems to benefit humanity; that's pretty clear.

  @tacooghost Elon started PayPal back in the day. I had no problem giving him my social security number then. I am not sure if I will do X money or not. Just saying I am okay with giving my social if I do.

  Having had issues with Musk's former money platform (PayPal), I wouldn't touch XMoney with a barge-poll. Imagine having your funds frozen for months because AI thinks your post was "hateful" or falsely identified an image as CSAM.
