  I am a user in Nigeria with a fully linked Paga account. A US sender is trying to send a Goods & Services payment to my email, but your automated filter is blocking it with a 'payment no longer available' error. Please help me manually open a support ticket." @AskPayPal

  @AskPayPal @EyoladeAbass In other words, don’t expect the issue to ever be resolved because their help center isn’t monitored by human beings and they engage in fraud.

  If you sell peptides, marketing isn't your biggest problem. Getting paid is. Stripe, PayPal, Square, they'll process transactions for a few weeks just fine. Then a routine review freezes the account, and the cash sitting in it gets held for 90 to 120 days. We've watched this happen to brand after brand. Here's what founders get wrong about why it happens: These processors aren't judging the brand's compliance. They're judging the category. Peptides get flagged on three things simultaneously: product risk, international shipping, and the RUO grey area. Being fully compliant doesn't exempt a brand from any of it. Here's what actually holds up: 1. Skip the mainstream processors entirely. Go high-risk from day one instead. That means paying 3.5% to 6% instead of the standard 2.9%, but that difference is the cost of staying online instead of frozen. 2. Guard the chargeback rate like it's the whole business, because it basically is. Cross 1% for two months running and the account is done. Clear product pages, fast refunds, and proactive shipping updates are what keep that number under control. 3. Never run on a single processor. Two or three processors running in parallel means revenue keeps moving the moment one of them freezes, instead of the entire business stalling out. Payments come before marketing, not after. The best ad account in the world is worthless if checkout can't actually take the money. Comment "PAYMENTS" and I'll send you our full payment processing guide for peptide brands.

  @tainted_ashes @PayPal It sucks so bad because this is how I make a living. I’ve been doing this for three years now and had no issues, and they blocked me out of nowhere. It’s ridiculous that this happens so often in the art community. 😩🫠

  I remember sitting with these lawyers in New York, and they were lecturing me about how they can't use cold email to grow their business. And for a while, I believed them. But then I looked it up. In New York, lawyers can email anybody in business they believe might be "in the market for legal services." And if someone owns a business, they're in the market. So yeah, they were wrong. Cold email is totally fine. They just never checked. And I've made that same mistake - plenty of times. When I was starting out, I'd block myself on things like: "How do I take payments?" "Do I need a business license?" "Am I even allowed to sell this?" And the key part is - I never searched. Because it wasn't really a question. It was an excuse. The moment someone says "just use PayPal," you're at a fork. Either you go, "Oh, yeah, I could." Or you get mad. You reject it. You invent a new reason. I had a friend who went all the way. Built the funnel. Wrote the copy. Recorded all the videos. Set up payments. Everything was done. And he never launched. All the blockers were gone. But the mindset that stopped him at the beginning? Still there. That voice that says "I'm not ready" doesn't leave just because you did the work. What actually slows you down isn't risk. It's assumption. And the fact that you never checked. That's exactly what we break inside Galadon Gold. This is not a course. It's my actual outbound system - tools, flows, and frameworks that generate real leads and sales. 4 coaching calls a week.

  Hi @AskPayPal, I need help recovering my PayPal account. I still have access to my registered email, but I no longer have access to the phone number used for WhatsApp verification, so I can't receive the login code. I also can't log in to contact support via chat.

  @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

  @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.

  @AgnostikGnostik dont worry about it as long as its clear on your profile on both paypal and ko-fi that its donations - it wont be an issue. at first you may have to wait a bit for funds to clear unfortunately. and it also has a option to say its digital delivery.
