  @PayPal and @SafaricomPLC, I am seeking urgent resolution of a transaction issue. In November 2025, a withdrawal from my PayPal account to M-Pesa failed (via mpesa app) , but the funds were deducted from my PayPal account and have never been credited to my M-Pesa account.(1/2)

  That’s exactly what I’m questioning, we got 100+ fintechs all solving the same problems with absolutely zero moat other than user base. Can you recreate Stripe, PayPal, Cashapp, or Revolut in a few weeks? No. Can we say the same about the new wave of fintechs or “neobanks” as some call them? Absolutely not. They’re all using the same providers and same wrapper structure, you can literally bootstrap a fintech because of accessible the tech has become.

  Elon Musk said 2008 was definitively the worst year of his life going through a divorce while simultaneously watching his companies crumble. By 37, Musk had burned through his entire PayPal fortune funding two companies at once. Tesla's early Roadster had quality problems and was hemorrhaging cash. SpaceX had failed three consecutive launches. What was supposed to happen: build rockets, change space, build electric cars, and change the automobile industry. What actually happened: three explosions and an empty bank account. In Musk's framing: "We were running on fumes at that point. We had virtually no money. A fourth failure would have been absolutely game over." Flight 4 launched September 28, 2008. It was flawless. Musk on what happened next: "NASA called and told us that we'd won a $1.5 billion contract. I couldn't even hold the phone. I just blurted out, I love you guys." Two days later, on Christmas Eve, Tesla's investors closed their round. "So you were saved in a period of three days by two completely unexpected events. Yeah. Merry Christmas. Yeah, absolutely." PS.

  This morning I asked PayPal to finally lift a 10% rolling reserve after 8 months of clean $100k+/mo in volume Few hours later… BOOM, full account limitation 😭 They wanted 6 months bank statements (easy, high 6figs on statements) Then we got hit with “Resolve an issue on a linked account” Didn’t know I had this old account… Turns out it’s from when I was still a minor Either I left a negative$1,600 balance unpaid or it got hacked (Both are 100% believable based off this email being hacked 6 years ago and me being extremely degenerate back then ) So I call the “PayPal internal collections team” to pay it off… Debt was sold 6 years ago they literally can’t credit it and I cannot pay off the balance Plus they don’t know the collection agency it was sold to 🙃 Basically when I requested the reserve release, their RETARDD automation tagged me and the main account as “fraudulent” Old acc is still permalocked No one (not even managers in collections, limitations, or exec support) knows how to fix it so they just emailed limitations team saying like this isn’t possible One thing I will say tho is I usually have a terrible ******* time calling these ******* fintech support lines, but this was quite enjoyable for reasons I cannot explain There was only one absolute retard that I had to hang up on I guess based off of my lifetime volume on Braintree and PayPal, this main account is also tagged as a “high value large enterprise client” So we have a dedicated rep at PayPal now (who hasn’t reached out yet) Literally went from a “fraud” to a “high value client” in 30mins PayPal honestly has great support, WAYYY better than Amex and those ******* pajeets over there Even the miserable ones were fun to talk to But… I do think this means that I need to get outside more - having fun talking to PayPal reps and all Kinda pathetic Issue still not guaranteed to be fixed, but I think it should be fine considering none of the reps had ever seen this before and added a bunch of notes to my case which was confirmed when I called back the limitations department So I still have time to change my mind on how I feel about PayPal support, but so far thumbs up 👍

  His name is Chris Reynolds from Pennsylvania. In 2013, he opened his monthly email statement from PayPal and found that his account balance had jumped to $92,233,720,368,547,800. This massive number made him, on paper, the richest person in the world by a very wide margin. The massive credit happened because of a technical error in PayPal's computer system. Before this happened, the most money Reynolds had ever had in his PayPal account was a little over one thousand dollars. When Reynolds logged back into his account online a short time later, the system had already caught the mistake. His balance was back to zero dollars, which was the correct amount for his account at that moment. PayPal later released a statement admitting that the huge credit was an error on their end. The company thanked Reynolds for understanding the situation. They also offered to make a donation to a charity of his choice as a gesture of goodwill.

  Even after triple checking every single address input I had for buying my dolls, PayPal is run by ******* pinheads and somehow still managed to use my OLD ADDRESS THAT I DELETED AND WASNT EVEN ATTACHED TO MY CARD AND SHIPPED IT TO VERMONT. @PayPal fix your ****!

  A bit of a personal update. I was able to get a loan to help with my Paypal situation. It's basically kicking the can down the road though. I still want to thank everyone who tried and was able to support though. External circumstances have made progress slow though.
