Micktheskinz (@Mickskinz) reported@wood_bespoke 🤦 If I could login I wouldn't be asking. If I could cancel my card it wouldn't be a problem. But the details on the PayPal account are completely unknown and use an old phone number so I can't login and they won't talk to me on the phone because I can't answer the questions, the direct debit is not a card payment it's a bank payment straight from my account. I will find the time and do an hour on the phone to the bank but that's the thing I wanted to avoid. It's the only way to sort it.

Robert J Abalos (@robertjabalos) reported@peak_skier @MPelletierCIO You are so correct. I gave up on eBay about six years ago. Too many slow or dead listings. Site is overrun with scammers who file chargebacks after receiving items. Ironically, the site ran better before PayPal when buyers would mail envelopes with money orders or cash.

Kagũma (@Index_49) reportedKenyan banks use outdated methods of deploying changes, hence the numerous texts we get for downtime. When did you ever get a notification from PayPal or even GMail notifying you of an hour-long outage as they deploy changes to their systems?

Yami Hikari ✨ EVERYSing for you (@Yami_Hikari1) reported@Kallynnei I'm still trying to pay, but god, why does it only accept PayPal? I don't have an account because I always run into some problem.

Joel Dalais (@JoelDalais) reported@369bsv @BitcoinSVCOL @PayPal Some other notes you (or readers might find interesting) - there is no central wallet to be hacked, no central bank to be closed down or forced closed - users use their own wallets and their own paypal. Also - its impossible for the system to inflate the BSV available, traders can only post up to what they have, the system (nor myself, or anyone) can't create extra BSV to put in the market for price manipulation, as your 'account balance' is whatever you have in your handcash.

Rose 🌹| (@opereitta_) reportedI have gone to the effort of stating I am willing to take payment through Paypal or Zelle if paying in cash is the problem, nothing. It's not like I have high priced items, most being half of ebay, all under $30 for the most part. Cleaning my bedroom out is just hard.

palazzetto delle aste (@PalazzettoA) reported@mayemusk @boringcompany Vision: a PayPal and X merger as a global hub The starting point is the current situation with Stripe trying to acquire PayPal, a deal that creates strong concentration in the payments industry regardless of whether Musk is involved. The alternative vision is that Musk himself, one of PayPal’s original co-founders, should instead pursue a merger between PayPal and X, avoiding the need to route his own products through Stripe, which today feels like a contradiction. The structural advantage is that Revolut already proves you can offer instant credit, like loans issued in minutes, without being a traditional bank, operating instead under electronic money licenses. This allows you to bypass part of the classic regulatory rigidity, while still remaining subject to antitrust and compliance oversight. Direct experience with both payment systems matters here: PayPal settles funds immediately, while Stripe holds them for weeks despite lower fees, a real problem for anyone who needs to move cash quickly and pay suppliers on time. The core of the vision is building a fully vertical ecosystem: X becomes the platform, PayPal the payment and financing engine, and Musk’s products, Tesla, Starlink, the future Optimus robots, robotaxis, get sold directly with one click, financed through monthly installments charged to the PayPal card, without ever leaving the platform. In this scenario, X should not compete with TikTok on mass, low-price sales, but position itself for a high-spending audience, selling high-value goods like watches, used cars with built-in financing, premium products that justify real advertising investment, leaving low-margin mass sales to other platforms. The revenue model becomes multi-layered: income from advertising that sellers must buy to gain visibility on the platform, income from interest and fees on financing extended through the card, and lower credit risk because the system already knows users’ spending behavior thanks to artificial intelligence.

Maximilian 🔫🎸 (@MaximiliankotWA) reported@InfarisVelsina The paypal BS is a big issue but if it wasn't for that I think you'd be able to do this full time one day For following I think x is just really hard to build for but your twitch I think is doing well,. just sucks to say but you may need to branch into more communities to build
