十べえ (@shimipan) reported@achthenuts I'll look for other services. The problem is that PayPal is the easiest money transfer service for people overseas. I feel bad making commission requesters use other, more complicated methods.🥲
-
Ndidi Isiah (@didiisiah) reported@UBACares please I need your assistance. Each time I trying paying with my UBA debit card, it declines. Now, I’m trying to link my card to PayPal account but it’s declining as well. What could be the issue?

Lily White Cracker (@LilyWCracker) reported@Abby_Sariah Call them. But if it’s like PayPal, they just keep telling you to login to your account that you can’t get into. Ugh. Sorry.
-
Desi Mac (@desimac13) reported@PayPal it is really hard to do something when you cannot get the technology to work right and there's no way to contact a real person.....and when you chat with someone they tell you the only way to do what you need is through the phone app, that is not working right.
-
Vegeta (@Nigeta1234) reported@xblazrx @spiderspookie @Kaiser7861 3. The problem is that the intent of the expose is literally her not caring about the actual victim but clout chasing. She literally tells him "you can still talk to me lol" in her own recording 4. She was fine giving him her paypal and accepting money
-
Anakhelon (@Anakhelon) reported@GamingWithNuke @KrestoTheArtist The problem isnt really ISPs, its payment processors. If they cant make money they won't do it. If Visa/Mastercard/PayPal etc all say no go to processing the "donation". then they cant make money off of it.

UnracedF1 - Thanks Peter Sauber🏁 (@UnracedF1) reportedWhy is it so hard to just simply login to Paypal... ******** place your USB key????
-
StreamVOD (@stream_vod1) reported@richtosho @esther_irene_ That’s the real issue. With Cash app and PayPal not accessible in Nigeria, people are forced to look for other options to receive international payments this just shows how big the gap still is. That’s why personally I use @Vbanapp , it just makes things a lot easier.

Chirag (@ChiragLathiya) reportedI 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.
