  @PayPal I need help with receiving the money in my account from a kofi donation but your Ai chatbots don’t help and whenever I try adding tracking info, i get an error message. This is very frustrating and I need help immediately.

  Depends on tax compliance as well Opt for an MOR like paddle or lemon squeezy etc if you don't want to handle tax compliance or have global clients that tax compliance becomes complicated If tax compliance is not an issue, then opt for payment gateways like stripe if you have integration knowledge otherwise paypal

  @PokemonRestocks jic it was the way PayPal works while only having it linked to an account rather than having funds in it, so if you can get your card to work directly or if you already have funds in your PayPal acc, it should be a non-issue. It's just a very personal L. Hope it helps, tho!

  @PayPal fix your user interface I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve accidentally doubled clicked when transaction is loading only for it to submit payment before I was ready

  Banks used to be heavyweight investments. Not so much anymore. Look at the last 138 days: XLF (Financials) is now behaving almost like XLU (Utilities) — slow, low-growth, defensive. Meanwhile fintech and crypto keep taking share: • Payment apps (PayPal, Venmo, Chime, X Money…) • Digital banking • DeFi / crypto rails • Even newer players moving into underwriting Traditional banks are losing the energy that used to make them cyclical leaders. Capital and growth are flowing elsewhere. The sector chart makes it pretty clear. Anyone else seeing this shift?

  I've been putting off writing this. Asking for help in public is not something I ever wanted to do. But I have a two year old and a four month old, and pride doesn't pay rent. Yesterday we got an eviction notice. We were two days late. Ten days to pay or we're out. Rent is just under $1,700. The apartment manager will work with us if we can put something toward it. My contract pay comes in weekly and I'm putting what I can spare from it straight into rent. Every dollar paid reduces what's owed, and whatever's left gets added on top of September and October rent, which we already can't cover, so paying it down now is the only thing that keeps this from getting worse. Here's how we got here. Our baby was born in April. My wife has had health complications since the birth and hasn't been able to return to work. Her maternity leave and short term disability have both run out. She's seeing a doctor this month, because right now she physically can't do her job, and we have no family in this city to help with the kids. Childcare costs more than we're bringing in. I lost my mom at the end of February. I still haven't had a real chance to sit with that. I've been job hunting since January. Locally I keep hearing I'm overqualified, and I get it, they assume I'll leave the moment something better shows up. I've applied for customer service roles I've done before and gotten nowhere. I've made it to final rounds more times than I want to count and walked away with nothing. I had another interview yesterday and gave it everything I had. On top of that, her company had payroll problems for months. We eventually got everything she was owed, but it came weeks and months late, and I took out loans to keep us afloat in the meantime. Those payments are still hitting every month. I did find contract work. It doesn't cover our bills, but I'm working extended hours and taking what I can get. Before posting this I called the community action agency, RIFA, Area Relief Ministries, the Red Cross, and 211. The rent assistance funding here ran dry back in March. There is nothing left in the local pipeline to catch us. We're going to have to move, either somewhere much cheaper or in with family in another state. What I need right now is to get through this month without my kids losing their home. I've asked family. Now I'm asking here. If you're able to help with rent, you can send it straight through X Money, Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal in the first reply Any amount helps, and it goes directly toward keeping my kids in this apartment. If you can't, that's alright. Sharing this so it reaches someone who can would mean just as much. And if all you did was read this far into a stranger's worst month, that mattered too. Thank you.

  @PayPal Placed an international @Etsy order that took 28 days to arrive damaged & missing items. To keep buyer protection, I should've escalated to PayPal day 1 to freeze seller funds. Giving them time to send a replacement exceeded that window. 30 days is wild with how slow Etsy can be.

  @Cal_I_Guess No option to add Paypal. The only reliable way is buying giftcards which only come in 1k,2k,3k etc. if i wanna buy a game thats 599 i gotta pay an extra 400 to get a 1000 rupee gift card and only use half on the digital purchase. Not the case with physical. Unless they fix this+

  @ArmandDoma It is hard though, right? Because, the PayPal mafia model is to pull a bunch of disconnected nodes together. You fund a lot of startups, some of them succeed. The successful ones consolidate into something greater than the sum of their parts. The problem with regulating ai is..

  The Right Rationale (@Right_Rationale) reported 32 minutes ago

  @jvkenya Yes, you could read the article, where I go through the myth of that story: The “emerald mine heir” story is equally false. Musk left South Africa at 17 with roughly $2,000 Canadian dollars. He worked in a lumber mill. He lived in a youth hostel and later with relatives. After college he was more than $100,000 in debt. His first company, Zip2, began with a single computer he had built himself. Because he could not afford a second machine, he coded at night so the same computer could run the company’s server during the day. He wrote the initial platform himself. His father’s brief involvement with emeralds in the early 1980s produced no lasting wealth; by 2000 Errol Musk was bankrupt and later became financially dependent on his son. The capital that later funded Tesla and SpaceX came from the sale of Zip2 and then PayPal - companies Musk built from near-zero.
