  @SUBWAY I placed an order thru the Subway app. I received an error message. Order does not show up in my history and store didn't receive it. However, my Paypal account was charged. Nobody responding to the paypalbillingescalations email account. How do I get my money refunded?

  Jenna Ryan (@realjennaryan) reported 14 minutes ago

  Ryan v. PayPal - This case is debanking--PayPal shutting down Jenna Ryan’s account on January 21, 2021 after she shared a fundraiser link on Twitter and raised approximately $200. She had used her PayPal account for roughly fifteen years. Less than an hour after closing the account, PayPal’s Director of Reputation, Kim Eichorn, spoke to national media outlets, including CBS News, and stated that Jenna had violated PayPal fundraising policies by raising money for purposes other than legal defense. However, no such “legal-defense-only” restriction existed in the user agreement. #ryanvpaypal The headlines that "Jenna Ryan Realtor was Booted from PayPal" went worldwide and Ryan was then cancelled en masse from platforms and her business, reputation and life was destroyed.

  @lukekin24019536 @mythpixelz PayPal fraud maybe? Credit card scams? Lotto winner with a mental disorder? I've seen people with million dollar mobile gaming accounts too, like WTF do you spend so much on this stuff for? To win a game server with 1000 people in it?

  PayPal just froze your funds for 180 days. Ads still running. Suppliers still want payment. This is what happens when your business runs on a personal PayPal tied to your real name. The fix isn't a stealth account. It's a proper HK company with a business PayPal. DM "HK"

  @elfilea Yeah I mean I assume they are charge backs, I would suggest checking your actual PayPal as well to make sure these aren't just whisking emails (fake emails trying to have you click fake links to resolve fake issues) best of luck Elfi... also... dun jump M'kay :)

  @WallStreetApes Got hit with a SIM swap fraud. Bank confirmed unauthorized transfer. PayPal still denied my claim multiple times and kept pointing to “successful authentication.” So apparently if a hacker gets your texts, it’s still considered “you.” This is broken.

  @AskPayPal @dhaneeshc @AskPayPal.m locked out of my account. I don't have access to my authenticator app and the SMS option was removed. I cannot use the website 'Call Us' verification because it requires a login I can't perform. Please help me reset my 2FA.

  @Andrew_Inalegwu @hayzed517 @bod_repuplic It’s not that easy for Nigerians bruh… He has to open paypal while being scrutinized. To avoid being banned. Every details has to be solid, any slight glitch or error in information paypal detects in your account, it is gone.

  @Dr_Crossroads @KrisPatel99 I know you left PayPal but like for 10 billion more you get a company without debt issues generating 6 bil in fcf buying 15% of the market cap a year. Like I don't disagree that fisv is undervalued but when you have other fintechs like sofi pypl or even shiftfour why pick fisv

  two major sponsors on behalf of the Big 12, generating roughly $100 million in new revenue that flows down to the schools. The marquee partnership is with PayPal, a deal that includes on-field logos, co-branded credit cards for the conference...and a Venmo system to deliver NIL payments to athletes.

  Has anyone managed to connect PayPal Vault with guest checkout? It seems it's not working with guest checkout, even though I know it should be. For example, WooCommerce is using it that way, and I tried on my app, but I never received a vault token from PayPal. #paypal #question

  @SOU_BTC This is the shift from chat to execution. Claude for Small Business plugs directly into QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Google Workspace. Payroll. Invoicing. Monthly close. Ad creation. Automated. But the adoption question is harder than the technology question. A small business owner isn’t an IT department. Someone still has to connect the integrations, configure the workflows, and trust the output. And AI still makes mistakes on ambiguous tasks - a misread invoice or a wrongly categorized expense isn’t a minor bug when it’s your balance sheet. The enterprise layer solved this with dedicated implementation teams. The SMB layer doesn’t have that luxury. And there’s a harder constraint underneath the implementation problem. AI can prepare the payroll. It cannot certify it. AI can draft the invoice. It cannot legally sign it. In most jurisdictions, financial documents, tax filings, and audit reports require a certified human signature - a professional who engages their legal liability. Claude can do 80% of the work. The last 20% - the part that counts legally - still needs a human with credentials and accountability. Until AI has legal standing to certify, it’s a very powerful assistant. Not a replacement. How long before regulation catches up to the technology - and should it?

  Currently, my PayPal account has been permanently suspended, making it difficult for me to accept commissions at the moment. I will do my best to resolve this issue as soon as possible! I’m very sorry for the inconvenience.

  @PayPal My paypal account of 18 years was permanently blocked this morning, with no reason given. Your support staff has been less than helpful. I use paypal every week for automated payments, Apple, Google play, and Ebay purchases. I have not broken your TOS.

  @HedgeFundTips The reason I invested in PayPal was due to their entrenched position in Europe, predicated on the idea that Apple Pay’s threat is neutralized by Android’s regional dominance. This, I am afraid is no longer the case. Google Pay is rapidly scaling across Europe, presenting an equally formidable, native operating system threat. Consequently, PayPal’s core branded checkout business is on highly unstable footing. We tend to underestimate the non-linear velocity of consumer behavior. While the shift from writing checks to swiping credit cards lasted couple of decades, the current migration from cards to native digital wallets (smartphones, wearables, and biometric authentication) is occurring at an exponential pace. In an ecosystem dominated by hardware-level convenience, PayPal lacks a structural moat. This fundamental erosion makes a further multiple compression and market cap drop entirely possible. I see a lot of parallels to Charter Communications (which I've been buying this week and last): despite robust legacy fundamentals and an aggressive, long-term share buyback program, Charter’s stock is down 65% in twelve months (worse than PayPal's 38% decline), and 80% over five years (same as PayPal). Both are down for the same reason - a fear that their core product is facing irreversible terminal decline.

  @ThatUnusMF @_ViviVovo_ I personally do not think it is worth it. I have one because I thought it would be a good business model but I have used it maybe once cuz I just thought it low key kinda sucked. I just use paypal and have never had an issue.

  @Spookidusk Ugh, this is terrible! If you sent payment through PayPal you could theoretically do a chargeback since it hasn't hit the 6 month mark- if you are comfortable w that and feel you have no other options. If you wanted, I'd be happy to draw something for you for funzies <3

  @CRYPTOAD00 I'm sure most people would want this. The issues is, the platforms that offer freelance jobs are only limited to PayPal and skrill for some. The adoption needs to start from the guys we think are "more civilized "
