  @AskPayPal Hello, I'm having trouble logging into my account because I no longer have access to the registered phone number. I can access my email, but I'm stuck at the 2FA step. Calling support is too expensive for me. Can you please help me verify my identity through other means?Thank you

  @ruaidhriart PayPal blocked my art commissions too. Fix: Get US bank via Grey/Cleva → Bybit P2P → your local bank. No middleman needed. No 3 week delays. Steps: [check my bio]

  It is amazing just how bad @PayPal customer service operates. The "AI Assistant" is terrible. I disputed a charge after the vendor gave me the runaround. And PayPal closed the dispute in favor of the seller? Based on what?

  PayPal is the OG fintech that somehow made sending money feel harder over time. Random holds, surprise fees and a UI that feels like it survived every redesign since 2006. It’s inertia but with a login screen.

  @7hachikyuu The only issue with that is that they require payment be sent through a specific site (like I saw PayPay for one) and if they request PayPal I just can't do that because my account has been completely shut down and I have no way to fix it 💔

  @PayPal I have some issues with your service it forces me unwillingly to use my full government name during transactions and I feel this is a breach of privacy if you do not handle this I will no longer use your services thank you

  Good job, @samgeorgegh, for this clear up because I thought the previous registration didn't go through. It left with sim registration against fraud, PayPal, and then hit more on the data issue.

  @its_The_Dr It’s a civil problem though… case in point if I had a disagreement with a neighbor over money like this, for example: I bought something from him and accidentally PayPal him 10 grand instead of a 100 and he refused to return it, if I called the cops they’d tell me that it’s a civil matter and to take him to court so why is this any different?

  @AskPayPal @PayPal I have been a compliant PayPal user since 2020 and today you have decided to permanently ban my account (reference number PP-L-774851620444) after I sent some documents to confirm a transaction. I need the funds ASAP and this error is costing me

  I used to think Stripe won because they built a better payments infrastructure. That’s not what actually happened. When Stripe started, payments were already “solved” in the traditional sense. - PayPal existed  - Banks had their own systems - Payment gateways were widely available If you were a business, you could accept payments. But if you were a developer trying to integrate them, it was a different story. The process was frustrating. Documentation was unclear. APIs were inconsistent. Setting up even a basic flow could take days, sometimes weeks. Every integration felt like stitching together systems that were never designed to work smoothly. The problem was not availability. It was usability. Stripe focused on something that looked small from the outside but was fundamental in practice. They made the API clean and predictable. Accepting payments took a few lines of code. The documentation was structured. The developer experience was consistent. They did not change the underlying financial system. They changed how developers interacted with it. This had a compounding effect. Developers started choosing Stripe not because it had more features, but because it was easier to start with. That initial decision shaped everything that followed. - easier integration → faster adoption  - faster adoption → more businesses onboarded  - more businesses → more volume and feedback  - more volume → better product over time  What looked like a small improvement at the entry point became a long-term advantage. Stripe did not win by introducing something entirely new. They won by removing friction at the first step and making the default choice obvious. In many markets, the product that is easiest to start with is the one that scales the fastest. The entry experience is not a detail. It is often the decision point that determines the winner.
