  @SarahisCensored Everyone call 888-221-1161 it's PayPal and they're currently investigating and will probably be shutting it down ASAP. You can remain anonymous!

  @codeofvets @PayPal Hey, @PayPal, what's your problem? Helping veterans should be a top priority, shouldn't it? Figure it out.

  There is a version of ecom failure nobody talks about publicly. Not a bad product. Not a failed ad account. Not an inventory disaster. A merchant account termination. The brand is profitable. The product works. Customers are happy overall. But the chargeback ratio crept past 1% over several months and nobody was watching it closely enough. The processor sends a warning. Then another. Then terminates. Overnight, the brand cannot process cards. Shopify Payments is gone. Stripe is gone. PayPal is restricted. The only options left are high-risk processors charging 3 to 5% transaction fees with 10 to 15% rolling reserves held for 6 months. That is what a chargeback problem actually costs at its worst. But here is the thing most people miss in the middle of it. The ratio does not have to cross 1% to cause damage. Visa's monitoring program flags merchants at 0.9%. Mastercard's starts at 1% but begins informal flagging earlier. Processors have their own internal thresholds below the card network limits. A brand sitting at 0.7% can still find themselves in a conversation with their processor about account stability. The damage does not start at the warning. It starts months earlier, quietly, while the rate is climbing and nobody is running a system to stop it. Disputely prevents chargebacks before they are filed. Wins the ones that go through. And keeps the ratio visible in real time so there are no surprises. The brands that avoid this problem entirely are not lucky. They built infrastructure around a metric most people ignore until it becomes a crisis.

  I solved the problem to receive payments! I found an app that allows me to receive their payments and they can pay directly from their credit or debit cards without using Paypal thanks to @Mr_Sandman404 for helping me test the app!!

  @atmosphere1119 @iKaito_1 @Credit1493 It is, ive done it for like 2 months and have had no problems, I use PayPal so you have to manually change it back to jpy, pay, then go back to the original page, click the button saying the purchase has been made, and it'll immediately be in your account

  @JustinD8787 @bluesinthe93266 You're not understanding this once again. You don't use your personal PayPal account. You use a gift card you buy through PayPal. Here's the step by step process: 1. Purchase the Code: Visit the official PayPal Digital Gift Cards CA marketplace. 2. Select the Store: Choose either the Apple Gift Card or the Google Play gift code matching your phone. 3. Pay & Redeem: Check out securely using your PayPal balance. You will receive a redemption code via email. 4. Load the Balance: Redeem the code in your mobile App Store or Google Play Store to clear a prepaid wallet balance. 5. Subscribe on X: Open the X app and complete your upgrade using your stored app store balance. This method provides complete anonymity. And the point remains that you don't have to link your personal credit card or PayPal account - you're just not creative enough to get around it. That's a you problem.

  $PYPL might be one of the most undervalued names in the market right now 👀 ✅ Daily MACD crossed bullish ✅ Filled the previous gap down ✅ Big money has been buying ✅ Now targeting the overhead gap Targets: 🎯 $47.50 🎯 $50 🎯 $52.30 Feels like a lot of people forgot about PayPal

  @nicoleakellz Thank you for clarifying that we may use any free authenticator and that DeviantArt receives no financial benefit or referral compensation from any particular service. The issue, however, is that the withdrawal process does not make that clear. Previously, withdrawing earnings simply required confirming the PayPal email address. Now, the process requires two-step authentication. When we scan the QR code provided during the DeviantArt withdrawal process, it takes us directly to the App Store page for a specific authenticator application. After installing or opening that application, we are immediately presented with a paid subscription screen offering a weekly plan for $7.99 or an annual package. Because DeviantArt’s QR code directs users to that specific App Store listing, it strongly implies that this is the authenticator application users are expected—or required—to use. Nothing in the process clearly explains that the linked application is only one option, that its paid subscription is unnecessary, or that users may instead scan the code with another free authenticator application. From the user’s perspective, this makes it appear that paying for the linked application is a required step before we can withdraw our DeviantArt earnings. Why does the QR code direct users to a specific paid application rather than simply displaying the authentication setup code for use with any compatible authenticator? Is there an option within the withdrawal process to select a different authenticator, and if so, why is that option not clearly displayed? DeviantArt should provide a clear, step-by-step video or illustrated guide showing users exactly how to: Select and install a genuinely free authenticator application. Scan or manually enter the DeviantArt authentication code using that application. Complete the two-step authentication setup. Verify PayPal and successfully withdraw their earnings. Avoid accidentally purchasing an unnecessary subscription from the application linked through the withdrawal process. The previous withdrawal process worked without this additional confusion. While we understand the need for stronger account security, the current process is hindering access to earned funds rather than helping users withdraw them securely. An official tutorial—and clearer language directly on the withdrawal page—would prevent users from being misled into believing that they must purchase a third-party subscription to access money they have already earned.

  @vexmlk @PayPal have you tried contacting the people who paid you and getting them to issue a chargeback?

  What the hell is going on with @PayPalIN? I received an email asking me to do KYC, so I started uploading my documents. Now, out of the blue, I got an email that said, "You can no longer use PayPal. After a review, we decided to permanently limit your account, as we found potential risk associated with it." Not sure which risk they are talking about. In the last one, I used that for making payments for domain registration on Hostinger and other websites; now, how the hell is that a risk for @PayPal? Only they can tell. Looks like everything is happening because of AI agents. No one defines the criteria clearly, and everything is running like that. Anyway, not having a PayPal account cannot cause me any issues, so enjoy your stupid service. #paypal #stupidservice #dumbservice
