  @metacolt1 @CardPurchaser Ebay barely protect sellers at all. You can just say it doesnt work, is broken with minimal evidence and they will side with you instantly, worse if you used paypal.

  Been holding base:0x5576d6ed9181f2225aff5282ac0ed29f755437ea since way back, and they've done nothing but put their head down and ship the whole time. Now they've got a seat at the table with Mastercard, PayPal and HSBC on agentic payments. Grabbed some more today.

  @BrillVFX I normally don’t make posts like this, but after giving this person more than enough time, patience, and opportunities to communicate with me, I feel like this needs to be made public. On July 8th, I paid him to create an intro for my team. We said deadline was 1 week. Its is now Aug 7,2026. After receiving the payment, he sent me 1-2 updates showing that he had started working on the project. That was essentially the only real progress/update I received. I didn’t rush him. I gave him roughly 1–2 weeks without bothering him because I understood that creative work takes time. After that period passed with no update, I reached out simply asking about the status of the intro. It then took him another week just to respond. When he finally responded, he explained that he was dealing with a situation involving his family problems. I completely respected that. I didn’t argue with him, pressure him, or immediately ask for my money back. I gave him additional time because I understood that real-life situations come before a project. Another week passed. I reached out again asking for an update. No response. From that point forward, I continued trying to contact him and no communication. At this point, an entire month has passed since I paid him, I still do not have the intro I paid for, and I have not received consistent communication regarding the project. Eventually, after repeatedly trying to handle this privately, I told him that if I continued receiving no response, I would have no choice but to make the situation public and pursue a refund through PayPal. I gave this situation every opportunity to be resolved privately before posting anything publicly. I was patient, I respected the personal circumstances he told me about, and I gave him significantly more time because of them. This post is not being made to send harassment toward anybody. I’m posting this to document my experience and warn other people who may consider purchasing work from him. Everything I’m stating here will be accompanied by screenshots so people can look at the timeline, messages, payment, and communication themselves and form their own opinion. I paid for a service on July 8th. I gave him weeks of patience and multiple opportunities to communicate with me. I still have not received what I paid for. At this point, based on my experience, I believe I was scammed. I have opened/pursued a dispute through PayPal to recover my money. I genuinely wanted to handle this privately, but there comes a point where ignoring a paying customer and failing to deliver what they purchased needs to be addressed. Receipts/screenshots below.

  @Farmville I’ve tried ALL the workarounds and have contacted support SEVERAL times since the issue. I even tried contacting my VIP manager and got crickets. At this point I’m ready to file a complaint with PayPal to get the money back that I spent on that farm unless someone can help me!

  @KissMyCarol Too much de-banking and platforms making decisions based on social credit. I know the D banking has greatly improved and is likely not going to come back in a big way. But I had a PayPal account and they had put out several years ago that if you made unacceptable statements on social media Facebook etc. that they would confiscate up to $2500 from your bank account And sequester that money for your PayPal purchases. So I eliminated my PayPal account and I refuse to work with any corporation that threatens me. I don't think that X will do anything like that but I don't know what will happen down the road and I just don't trust what already happened to me Also how's your first night of retirement?

  @DrMichaelBonner will try to secure a copy for you through friends visiting if all else doesn't work? following explains how to directly purchase Farsi translation of the book- sorry a bit lengthy, eh: sanctions heavily affect ability to purchase the Farsi translation directly from Iranian platforms if you are located in the United States. US Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control enforces strict comprehensive sanctions on Iran's banking n financial sectors. This creates significant practical barriers, even though the law technically makes exceptions for books. 1. The Informational Exception (The Legality): under the Berman Amendment to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act importation n exportation of "informational materials" -including books, films, n music - are exempt fr US sanctions. •its completely legal for you to own, read, or import a physical or digital copy of this Farsi translation into the US. •You are not violating US federal law simply by buying a piece of literature. 2. Banking Blockade is a Practical Problem while buying the book is perfectly legal, paying for it fr US is nearly impossible through normal channels. •Iranian online stores like Digikala, Taaghche, or IranKetab only accept Iranian bank cards connected to the local Shatab (شتاب) network. •no International Processors: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, n PayPal operate in Iran n will block any transaction attempted on an Iranian website. •IP Blocks: many Iranian e-commerce networks completely block incoming web traffic or payment requests originating fr US IP addresses due to cybersecurity defenses. Workarounds to Purchase the Book Fr the US includes 3 choices: •Diaspora Persian Bookstores: Specialist physical n online bookstores based in the US, Canada, or Europe regularly import shipments of legal info materials fr Tehran. Check retailers like Ketab Corp (Los Angeles - aka Tehrangeles, they may have it, or find out if online Persian book importers can order a copy of آخرین امپراتوری ایران fr Mehrandish Publications for you. •Family or Friends in Iran: is easiest method is to have a contact inside Iran buy the physical book locally or purchase the digital version on Taaghche using an Iranian bank card, n then send you the login details or ship the physical copy via international mail networks. if other methods didn't work for you, let me know i will pursue this option •Third-Party Proxy Services: some international diaspora agencies specialize in paying for Iranian digital services on behalf of expats, though these often incur high service fees n operate in a legal gray area regarding money transfers.

  @Venmo @PayPal I am totally in a quandary with Venmo. I have been suspended and I don’t know why. I sent my photo ID to them as they requested but it has still been months and no word. I can find no answers to what probably is an easy fix
