  @MoviesWorldw @AskPayPal A locked user error usually means the account is under a security restriction. Avoid repeated password reset attempts for now. Since you still have access to the registered email, keep it secured and monitor for security notices. Let me know if anything changes, or contact me

  So @PayPal has been holding my funds for more than a week, because "my country doesn't accept transactions" (they do). No bounce back to the sender automatically. I was never notified, no emails. This is hoarding under pretense. Incompétence beyond belief. Fix your service.

  @Pickettburg @omgsidewalks Well since you just like to work and don’t care about the money then I can help you out with that problem. I have Zelle, Varo, Cashapp, PayPal, Venmo & Chime. When u get paid you can just send that check you don’t want to the one of your choice.

  @leeminoot Hi lei.. with my first order I waited for an hour and it was still processing and after sometime the app just restarted. The order is not appearing in my order history. But eximbay email (like PayPal) has order number and I can see that order if use that order number. I haven’t received any refund (it’s been an hour or more infact) which means that the order is confirmed it’s just not tagged to my account. If you have not received an order I suggest raise an inquiry because I think the issue is with tagging the order to an account. Do you have the order number in the bank email or message by any chance, you can use that. Sorry for the lengthy reply🫣

  @CryptoTice_ If a person actually reads the Clarity Act they will see it is actually a take over of crypto in the USA by the banking cartel. It will have all the same reporting requirements as the US Dollar. Send $600 to a friend, count on them getting a 1099. Same KYC policies in place and makes it impossible for new crypto companies to form in the USA. Basically is puts crypto into the same category as PayPal or Venmo. Gives the Federal Reserve, SEC and others in charge of many aspects of crypto. The problem like most bills is no one actually reads it. The supporters are all just people who own bitcoin that want it to return to the 120K + range and don’t look at anything else.

  💞Here's my own personal guide on how to be a respectable Artist and to be a great art Customer💞 ARTISTS: - Japanese communities still use hashtags, idk why we killed the habit of using them and deemed them cringe. The statement that using even one kills your engagement is a huge cope of people who blame the algo of their art not being successful. Japanese people actively go through their fandom or fave character tags, this is why I built up a sizable Japanese following on this account. Stop using shadowbans as an excuse, use at least one hashtag so if your post goes viral people will find your commission post. Btw using said JP hashtags might get you some new friends from Japan, use for example: ウマ娘 (Umamusume), 葬送のフリーレン (Frieren), ホロライブ(Hololive) etc. - Have an email in your bio for the love of god and close your dms for the sake of your own sanity. - Learn to communicate with your customers, social anxiety is not an excuse to reduce everything to 2 clicks anymore. If you do business you need to be professional and speak to people. This is going to be harsh but commissions need revisions, if you can't hold up basic communication this line of work isn't suited for you at the moment. If you're under 18 I'd completely steer away from accepting work until you learn basic etiquette and to protect yourself from predators reaching out to you using commissions as an excuse. - Use business Paypal, hide your personal info. You don't need any extra site, just do work through google forms or email. - B-B-But the bad algo- SSSSHHH.. 🤫 Stop whining and start creating. The algo changed so you need to put in more effort to do research on what's popular. The time of blowing up through artstyle exclusively is over. Still happens, but now you have to either draw lots of fanart of popular shows/games, or become a yapper and build connections with fellow artists or viewers. It has become much harder, but it's not impossible. Stop blaming the game instead of learning the rules. I believe in you! - Don't use AI. You won't be able to hide it and you'll destroy your own credibility with the shortcut. Not worth it, plus it destroys the Earth. Draw those titties instead of generating them, it will feel much more satisfying, promise. COMMISSIONERS: - Reach out to artists through google forms or email in their bio. Ask them about their rates. I get emails like that constantly and I always happily answer. - Stop telling artists to register to art commission sites. There are no good sites like those anymore, I won't elaborate. - Start browsing hashtags again. If you do so you give artists engagement and make them happy cause their art will be seen again and you will find better commissions as well, a great deal for everyone. - You WILL have to put in the effort to learn how to distinguish AI from real art. This isn't anyone's fault but Silicon Valley's, don't blame the artists, blame the ones who spoiled the game for everyone. It's all for your own good to detect signs of a SEA sweatshop studios, or someone tracing AI. There are a multitude of guides out there, before you hire an artist read through them to stay updated. Ask friends, mutuals, your mom, downstairs neighbour etc. The downside is that it will take more than 2 clicks and a cardswipe. - Only do payment through Paypal for now. I know for Americans it's tempting to do local bank transfer or other payment processors like Zelle or Cashapp, but as of right now Paypal has the best artist and buyer protection of all of them. The fees are high, but from my own experience it is worth for the protection. - Artists and commissioners alike WILL have to communicate. Ask your artists questions. Learn commissioner etiquette and read the TOS of an artist if there's one, most reliable ones have one. Don't be afraid to check in periodically, but not until it's your slot's turn. You most likely will have 1 or 2 free revisions, use them if you need to. Here's how the commission process should go: 1. Reaching out, agreeing on rates, deadline, personal or commercial usage 2. Paying invoice (NO FRIENDS AND FAMILY never pay those) 3. Artist thanks you and gives you an approximate timeframe of your slot coming up in queue 4. Artist lets you know it's your turn, estimated time of completion 5. Artist sends you a sketch/wip, you ask for adjustments if needed 6. Artist delivers your full completed piece, sends you a high-res version in email or a Drive link Feel free to ask for it, it should be the norm of receiving a minimum of 300dpi version If at any time you feel uncomfortable tell the artist. If things can't be worked out say that you'd like a refund or if it's not possible and you feel the urge to chargeback, please make sure to try and work it out in private. I understand that the temptation of dropping a Google Dockey on here is high, the calling of the sweet engagement is alluring but you also need to act professional if you'd like to be treated that way by an artist. Only go public if there's no other way of resolving things. - Red flags for possible scammer artists: - ChatGPT-like mannerism - Overly positive - Literally has nothing but random "art" on their account, all in different styles (especially random esports banners) - No email anywhere - Suspiciously cheap pricing for seemingly high-quality art. - Extremely fast turnover rate or uploading art daily for a long period. (Sometimes people on holiday draw daily, that shouldn't be suspicious by itself) - Sudden spike in art quality, huge improvement in a very short (1-2 months) period of time. It strongly indicates AI usage but always double, triple, quadruple check, sometimes people literally just sit down and cram anatomy and rendering courses or Youtube videos for days. Sudden improvement alone is not a scammer indicator, you need extra nuance to see the bigger picture. Always assume the better scenario before jumping into conclusions. These are not carved into stone, just wanted to list out things to be suspicious about. A reputable artist can have fast turnover rate too, don't accuse them of being a scammer just because of it. Look up known bad sheep, check out their callout posts and compare. I can't stress it enough to ASK OTHERS around you for advice or to double check before stating anything. - You got your pretty shiny illust, now what? Check what perms you agreed to. Personal usage: - No uploading to any site that generates revenue. Examples: X, Twitch, Youtube, Kick, Fansly, etc. Ask if you're unsure. Merch production is for your own enjoyment, no reselling stuff like keychains or stickers later or the artist deserves a cut of the money. Commercial usage: - Uploading art to any site that generates revenue. Yes, now X headers and icons count as commercial usage. Merch production also falls into this category, if you want mass production you will have to get an estimate from the artist. Why is this important? Even if you're a small creator who earns nothing on X for example, you have the potential to blow up overnight and if you grow people will associate the icon you have with you, which was drawn by the artist you commissioned. Outside of vtuber spaces an artist usually gets a percentage cut from sales from a product that has their art on it, I think it's fair to think the same system should apply on here as well. - "This is all nonsense, AI can do all this for me in minutes for FREE!" - Sure buddy, no one's stopping you and I promise I personally won't get offended. If you'll be happy with weirdly rendered pictures of people with 8 fingers and 3 boobs may you find happiness with it, have a nice day 🙏 (I will secretly make you explode with my mind though) - "I only have an AI reference that I found on Pinterest, is it okay to give it to you for inspo?" - FOR SURE at the end I'll be the one bringing your idea to life and you didn't generate anything, all good! Artists should support customers who turn to them instead of AI. Some will be uncomfortable though, please respect their boundaries and look for someone else. - An artist isn't a friend. A lot of them prefer 2 click commission sites because people overstep the professional boundaries while working. If you want to befriend that that has to happen outside of work. If your work has been delivered please don't talk to them about unrelated things, people often abuse the work communication channels for flirting. We are professionals, never forget. If the artist themselves shows interest then go for it, otherwise just be friendly/neutral. Overall, if we get angry and spit fire at each other here on X that won't solve anything. Remember to be kind to each other and act as if you two are standing in front of each other in person. Internet anonymity doesn't give you a pass to haggle, to harass, to flirt with each other, same goes to artists as well. Never publicly accuse an artist of using AI/scamming on a hunch because you can destroy their livelihood in a minute. If you feel suspicious gather evidence, investigate and ask someone to confirm or deny your claims. Artists should always keep their commission queue in order and only accept work they can deliver on time, otherwise people will lose trust in them. Always act professional, you will never know what kind of eyes are looking at your profile. This turned out to be long, if you read so far I'm happy if I could help even a bit. The internet changed a lot in the past 1-2 years and we have to adapt not only in artstyle but adjusting prices, adjusting rules and communication too. These are all my own personal opinions and doesn't represent any organization I'm connected to. (I'm ESL please forgive any weird wording or typos)

  @Pirat_Nation It looks like a free mobile Gacha game or one of those games that say they will give you $1 through PayPal for each hour you play. It looks really bad. Have you seen the fighting mechanics? Holy ****, they took fighting in games back to 1986, so limited, slow and boring.

  Excellent news. The problem is that the WEF has already planned for this. Their new "central bank" is actually PayPal, using billions of a digital currency supplied by Ethereum. And because it's an international business, there doesn't have to be a nation-by-nation push for CBDC when the "central bank" is actually a payment provider that exists in spite of government policies, forcing them to conform to their rules. If Visa and Mastercard follow and adopt this model, then we're screwed no matter what. If we want to shut the book on the CBDC concept once and for all, backing decentralized cryptocurrencies is what we need to do.

  Are people really that shocked that Elon could become the world’s first trillionaire on SpaceX IPO day? When you actually look at what he’s built, and the size of the missions behind each company, it feels more inevitable than surprising tbh. As of June 10, 2026, here’s the current snapshot of his portfolio (just approximates): Tesla is sitting around a $1.45 trillion market cap, and Elon owns roughly 20.3%, putting his stake somewhere around $294 billion to $302 billion. SpaceX, including Starlink, xAI, and X, is valued around $1.25 trillion today, with an IPO target around $1.75 trillion to $1.77 trillion. With Elon owning roughly 41% to 43%, that stake alone could be worth $512 billion to $540 billion today, and potentially $725 billion to $866 billion after IPO. Then you add Neuralink, valued around $9.65 billion, where his stake could be worth $6 billion to $8 billion. And The Boring Company, valued around $5.7 billion, where his stake could be worth another $4.5 billion to $5.2 billion. Altogether, his total stake value across everything is roughly $830 billion to $870 billion, with his current net worth around $784.5 billion. This dude is building electric vehicles and sustainable energy with Tesla. Reusable rockets and global internet through SpaceX and Starlink. Brain-computer interfaces through Neuralink. AI through xAI. And underground infrastructure through The Boring Company… these are companies attacking some of the hardest problems in the world from energy, transportation, space, internet access, healthcare, AI, and the future of civilization. You can debate the timelines. You can debate his style. You can debate the man. But it’s super hard to argue with the direction. These companies are creating real value for millions of people today, and potentially billions of people over time. That’s why the trillionaire milestone doesn't really shock me, like it does for others. Wealth at that level happens when people voluntarily choose products and services that make their lives better, save them time, open new possibilities, and solve problems that once looked impossible. And if someone is going to become the world’s first trillionaire, I’d rather it be someone whose companies are trying to make humanity multi-planetary, accelerate sustainable energy, restore neurological function, expand global connectivity, and build the future of intelligence. The track record speaks for itself. PayPal. Tesla. SpaceX. Starlink. Neuralink. xAI. Again and again, Elon has stepped into areas most people thought were too hard, too risky, or too far away… and turned it into reality. When you look at the problems his companies are solving, the scale of the markets they’re going after, and the value they’re creating, it makes sense. He deserves it.

  We love helping merchants solve payment processing problems. Ironically, most merchants come to us because they're facing issues nobody else could solve. Over the years, I've noticed there are usually two types of merchants: 1. White-hat operators building real brands. 2. Gray/black-hat operators looking for MIDs they can burn through. Processors want your volume. Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, banks, and processors make money when merchants succeed. They don't shut down good businesses for fun. They shut down businesses when the data suggests risk. If you're a legitimate merchant having processing issues, there's usually something that can be fixed: Chargebacks. Fulfillment. Customer service. Billing practices. Risk presentation. That's solvable. If you're intentionally hiding risk or burning accounts, eventually the industry catches up. Payment processing isn't about getting approved. It's about becoming the type of business banks and processors want to keep.
