Elevate Dreams (@ElgDreams55370) reportedGlobal payment platforms are not equally accessible to every business For many African founders, the issue is not demand or credibility It is structure Payment processors like Stripe, PayPal, and Square operate within specific systems

JFK (@JFK37181039) reported@PayPal Very hard time receiving customer service on receiving payment in limbo. Talked online to your agent, was unable to help. Suggested I call in - still waiting. 2.5 hours into solving this issue... may be just easier to not use Paypal in the future.

Siv (@SivMAskildsen) reported@SteveCarls01 I'm having trouble retrieving my PayPal account, but where can I send pictures?

Bailey (@Bailey9274) reported@Tees_KK If you get them to set the PayPal payment type to "Friends & Family" they cannot report a problem with the payment or retract it later for any reason. Be aware though, a lot of scammers request this payment type, so some may see it as suspicious.

Shashwat Chauhan (@Shashwat_web3) reportedHere's what 99% of people are missing. X Money isn't competing with PayPal. It's the trojan horse. → 500M users already on the platform → 6% yield on balances (higher than your bank) → 40+ states on day one via Visa rails → "Smart Cashtags" linking crypto tickers live on timeline → Nikita Bier literally tweeted: "Crypto's had a rough year. Maybe we should launch something to fix it." They're not entering finance. They're entering crypto with 500 million normies as the army. DeFi spent 5 years trying to onboard the world. X Money might do it in one month. This is either the biggest onboarding event in crypto history or the biggest fake-out. Either way, you should be watching. 🫡

Cats-a-Tonic (@Cats_a_Tonic) reportedSuch an absolutely stupid system of "support". Cannot log into my account as I lost phone and have a whole new phone and contact number. SHOULD be simple to fix this but keep being directed to customer support INSIDE MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT. @PayPalUK @PayPal @AskPayPal

A K (@ashishK_tweets) reported@PayPal I’ve just set up my PayPal account and I’m already facing a limitation issue. I’m not very familiar with the process, and this situation is quite stressful as I’m unable to receive payments. I’ve submitted the required details—please help resolve this as soon as possible.

Indicdialectic (@indicdialectic) reported@KaranSharma1008 @Prayag_Krishna Why do you have problem with money? That guy is the richest man on this planet. Will he have shortage of money? He created money by launching PayPal and selling it for millions. Then investing in Tesla then owning it, then creating spaceX and other things. Where did he cheat?

djcows (@djcows) reportedi quickly realized stripe and paypal simply cannot work for payments on opendojo due to regulations, fees, and processing times that's why i chose the stablecoin USDC as the default payment method, which seems retarded and prohibitive to user onboarding, but actually here is what i discovered: - crypto is borderless, naturally increasing dataset diversity, scale, and simplifying legal - crypto is somewhat anonymous, preserving the anonymity of AI labs who don't want to reveal their next moves - crypto is faster and cheaper than any bank, meaning more money goes directly to the people so far i've processed 1000s of dollars without any issues, and i'm really looking forward to seeing how the system performs with scale

Crypto Quick Hits (@CryptoQuickHits) reportedPayPal is pushing SHARPLY higher on a CNBC report suggesting that new CEO Enrique Lores plans on separating Venmo into its own business unit! This could make the Venmo business easier to sell later down the line.
