  @CoFoundersNik I experienced exactly the same issue with PayPal. Had to sell the business and use a lawyer to get the funds back. Not same numbers but 100% the same experience. Money held, can't buy products, can't fulfill orders because of that, results in more chargebacks etc.

  @FikhaiSports I don't know, I think it was a Ko-fi error; I already requested a refund from PayPal. I don't want the membership anymore—I bought the face via Buy Me a Coffee.

  @PayPal As a consumer never had a problem with disputes when Alex was CEO aside from logisticsof how he ran PayPal. Thanks to your new CEO, your profit ecosystem investors all happy since your new CEO, is a good thing. Oddly, seems that consumers anger about their disputes etc are more intensified since the new CEO. How could that be if everything else financially looks good with PayPal. Not making this up, after all, the 2026 FTC warning concerning consumer protections etc., there is some truth to it.

  @gy_sup Maybe it's because it's past the 180 days PayPal gives to issue a dispute? Otherwise I have no idea why Vgen would refuse to refund them ://

  @PayPal @AskPayPal #paypal You waited until I started making more than like, twenty dollars at a time, until I received my FIRST larger commission amount, to randomly ban my account. That is incredibly predatory. 😒 I have given you every single piece of information that you’ve asked me for. I’ve given you proof of commission requests/work, my LLC/business license, my ID, my bank statements, everything, and you’ve been flagrantly ignoring me since then. I’ve reached out for an appeal and had to learn from a chat room representative that you’ve denied it. You’ve took money that I need for groceries and bills and placed it on a SIX MONTH hold over your assumption that, because I sell digital products, I’m scamming someone??? Fix the AI that bans the accounts and make this place better for independent artists please. I draw for people! I make money from that! It may not be a lot to you, but this money gives me a week of groceries to feed my entire family. At least give me the funds I deserve, for the work I’ve done.

  The artist decided that that was *my* problem that *I* needed to fix by issuing chargebacks. PayPal only gave me one of two and I decided to cancel the commission because holy ****, that’s a ******’ terrible way to run a business

  @mayemusk @boringcompany Vision: a PayPal and X merger as a global hub The starting point is the current situation with Stripe trying to acquire PayPal, a deal that creates strong concentration in the payments industry regardless of whether Musk is involved. The alternative vision is that Musk himself, one of PayPal’s original co-founders, should instead pursue a merger between PayPal and X, avoiding the need to route his own products through Stripe, which today feels like a contradiction. The structural advantage is that Revolut already proves you can offer instant credit, like loans issued in minutes, without being a traditional bank, operating instead under electronic money licenses. This allows you to bypass part of the classic regulatory rigidity, while still remaining subject to antitrust and compliance oversight. Direct experience with both payment systems matters here: PayPal settles funds immediately, while Stripe holds them for weeks despite lower fees, a real problem for anyone who needs to move cash quickly and pay suppliers on time. The core of the vision is building a fully vertical ecosystem: X becomes the platform, PayPal the payment and financing engine, and Musk’s products, Tesla, Starlink, the future Optimus robots, robotaxis, get sold directly with one click, financed through monthly installments charged to the PayPal card, without ever leaving the platform. In this scenario, X should not compete with TikTok on mass, low-price sales, but position itself for a high-spending audience, selling high-value goods like watches, used cars with built-in financing, premium products that justify real advertising investment, leaving low-margin mass sales to other platforms. The revenue model becomes multi-layered: income from advertising that sellers must buy to gain visibility on the platform, income from interest and fees on financing extended through the card, and lower credit risk because the system already knows users’ spending behavior thanks to artificial intelligence.
