  @PayPal What makes you think it's ok to issue a refund to a consumer's disputed payment after the seller has provided PROOF of shipment & delivery of the order. You act like you're doing everyone a favor. The truth is this practice simply adds cost to businesses accepting paypal.

  @Blue_Brush3 @phoenixdante7 @Pirat_Nation Proof? Brother ts didn’t happen to any other game just in AKE and the “fix” is them just removing PayPal and if I remember correctly it was from AKE side

  May Zabaneh (SVP & GM of Crypto at PayPal) explains why payments still feel fast, but are actually slow, costly, and fragmented and how stablecoins could quietly replace the system underneath. In the latest episode of @_TalkingTokens, we break down programmable money, global payments, and where stablecoins are already working at scale. Links below

  🚨 JUST IN: Former PayPal CEO David Marcus just unveiled a stablecoin banking product for businesses and AI agents. Stablecoin balances. Yield. Payments. Cards. All chain-native, all behind an API. This is Banking-as-a-Service but onchain. --- Banking-as-a-Service is getting rebuilt on stablecoin rails. The old stack - Middleware (e.g. Unit / Synctera) - Galileo - FBO accounts at a sponsor bank There's now a chain-native version. - Squads Grid does it on Solana. - Bridge built it for fintechs, payroll and non banks - BVNK ships it embedded. Lightspark now joins them, with distribution into 65 countries and a Bitcoin L2 underneath. --- I keep thinking about how the "account" itself is being unbundled. What used to be a sub-ledger entry at a partner bank becomes a programmable smart account that holds dollars, settles 24/7, keeps its own yield, issues cards, and accepts agent-scoped permissions. The bank charter turns into a feature you plug in for accessing other rails. --- The agent piece is marketing, but its also more than that. Lightspark is already inside Google's AP2 protocol. As agents want to become platforms in their own right, re-sell financial services to their customers, they'd want a BaaS like thing. Why not go for something that uses stablecoins? --- Marcus has THE most fascinating back story - Former CEO of PayPal, has moved money traditionally - Behind Libra at Meta a global bank account and "stablecoin" that regulators pushed back on. Now this is a global stablecoin bank account distributed through an API, post-GENIUS Act, sold to businesses and machines. Sometimes timing is everthing. Does this compliment or commoditize BaaS over time? I expect the answer becomes obvious within 18 months.

  @PayPal please somebody tell me how to get in touch with anyone from this company. Being told I have a negative account of 175$ which they say is linked to my account now and with no chance to resolve my account went from limited to closed. Terrible customer service . Need help

  to note, you should only do this once problems arise, like the artist is being incredibly unresponsive, consistently missing deadlines, or trying to push you back past the 180 paypal days. all my artists have been incredibly lovely to work w/ and i haven’t had to do this!

  Such 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

  Is it wrong for me to open a PayPal dispute since the person who I haven’t paid the full amount to will not issue it/doesn’t want to. I was only planning to issue half amount of what I paid since I got screwed with bills and I won’t be receiving the product anymore

  Everyone's talking about fully automating their ad accounts with AI. I think that's a mistake. Here's why. When PayPal was getting destroyed by fraud in the early days, they had a hacker named Igor who kept breaking through. They tried full automation to stop him. It didn't work. Actually caused more problems. So they tested something different. Algorithm plus human. AI flagged the patterns. Humans made the calls. That combination is what eventually became Palantir. One of the biggest AI companies in the world. And they still use that same model today. AI with human workflow. And that makes sense if you think about it. If everyone has access to the same AI tools and everyone automates the same way, that just becomes the floor. The baseline. The minimum. So where does the edge come from? Not from automating everything. From automating the right pinch points and keeping humans in the loop for the decisions that actually matter. I built a creative analysis tool that pulls 90 days of ad data, transcribes videos, generates scene notes, and maps performance to patterns. That used to take 6 hours manually. Now it runs in the background in 15 to 50 minutes. But I still sit down and interpret it. I still make the calls on what to test next. The AI compresses the grunt work. The human finds the alpha. Everyone's racing to remove themselves from the process entirely. I'm racing to stay in it. Just at a higher level.
