  @mypagacare @PayPal @paga I'm not experiencing any withdrawal issues. I'm saying that Nigeria PayPal accounts are not accepted in survey websites, once you change it to foreign account, you get paid. I have already linked it to PayPal successfully. Individuals can send me money, but survey websites can't.

  @berylberu I have a business PayPal acc, yet my personal name still gets exposed depending on how sites process payments. Ko-fi + VGen both do this, check your confirmation emails. PayPal says it’s not their issue, and both platforms say the same. As far as I can tell, there’s no real fix.

  Never use PayPal They block your account permanently for no reason, didn't even tell me why they blocked the account. So many people on YouTube has the same problem, why don't shut down your company? I don't know why they still in business? @PayPal @AskPayPal @PayPalIN

  How to use ICP to top up @ProtonMail account: I switched to Switzerland-based Proton about 10 years ago from Gmail as part of the effort to de-google myself. Among Proton's many great features, one of them is that it accepts crypto payment in $BTC . For an #ICP user, this is how you can take advantage of this to use ICP to pay for Proton services. 1/ In your @oisy wallet (the best ICP wallet, built by @dfinity team), convert $ICP into $ckBTC . As both are using ICP's ICRC standard, the conversion is instant and has no gas fee. 2/ In Oisy's BTC asset, which includes both the native BTC and ckBTC (in an account abstraction fashion), choose ckBTC, and then convert $ckBTC into $BTC. This step will require the standard block confirmation on the BTC mainnet. 3/ In the Proton account, All Settings => Credits => Add Credits, pick the dollar amount. Proton will provide the needed BTC amount and a BTC address (this address is regenerated every time, not a static one). 4/ In Oisy, send over this amount of BTC to the Proton address. Proton will show something like, "your credit is received ...". This "Add credits" pop-up window will disappear. When the BTC's mainnet confirmation is finished (30-60 minutes), the "Credits" section will display the updated balance from the BTC top-up, and Proton will automatically deduct the monthly fee from this balance on the due date. This is almost perfect, except that Proton does not support a yearly subscription with BTC yet - i. e., you can only pay BTC as you go month to month (but it's automatic deduction, so it's good enough), not in an annual plan fashion, which can save 20-30%. Why go through the trouble of using BTC/ICP but not a credit card or PayPal? No KYC, love. Total anonymity.

  @decoplum18 @PayPal Did you use a nickname or your actual name? I once, had this issue and it was because my pen name didn't match my info. 😭 I eventually got back. I verified my email and gave them my ID and stuff.

  @presh_rabbit FNB literally has PayPal in their app So you don't even need to login via PayPal to do transactions You can do them directly from the FNB app Like withdrawing and depositing

  @CHP_HQ Can anyone from your organization go down to San Jose and speak with PayPal? This company is literally robbing Americans blind! Can anyone in your org explain why they do not require photo ID before opening an account or how they can send money 10X cheaper than West Union
