  @Landarting Given recent events, I would have thought it would have been my PayPal or Gmail account that was shut down first. But still, it's crazy how people can be so quick to condemn NSFW content but not violence.

  Ignore this *******, Grummz is engagement baiting again The OP said they filed an appeal and it was resolved within minutes. Paypal isn't cracking down, OP got hit by a bot and it was resolved. Things are the same, use invoices, don't use sus names on them, and you'll be fine.

  @theRobbyXO hii, i used eximbay rather than paypal (there seems to be a glitch with it), you don’t need to sign up for an account, just put ur card details and the order should go through !

  Sometimes when I see stuff like paypal clamping down on NSFW content I feel apathetic because when I saw people celebrating the arrest of that one Vtuber I became a burn it all down so when we hopefully build it back up we're all on the same page about artistic expression

  @CrudeCinema @AskPayPal I’ve been banned from @PayPal since 2020. They kept $150 that was on my account and just shut it down. CashApp and Venmo are my saving graces imo.

  if you're building agents that spend money, you need to understand four protocols launched in the last 12 months. Bookmark it! they solve different problems. picking wrong wastes months. x402 (coinbase) — SETTLEMENT what it does: HTTP 402 payment required. agent hits API, server quotes price in USDC, agent signs authorization, resource delivered. best for: sub-dollar API micropayments. pay-per-request data, LLM calls, analytics queries. cost: ~$0.0001 per tx on base. limitation: crypto-native today. USDC default. fiat integration in progress. volume: ~176M txs, $73M total. sustained $11 to 15M/week Q1 2026. quote: "your wallet becomes the universal API key" - erik reppel MPP (stripe/tempo) — PROTOCOL LAYER what it does: payment-method agnostic checkout for machines. same HTTP 402 signal but accepts cards, stablecoins, lightning, bank transfers. best for: if you need multi-rail from day one. sessions for streaming micropayments (pay-per-token LLM billing). cost: stablecoin txs as low as $0.001. card txs $5-10 where economics work. limitation: launched march 2026. first week: 34,000 txs but only ~$3,730 volume. experimentation phase. quote: "MPP is the checkout form for machines" - brendan ryan, tempo AP2 (google) — AUTHORIZATION what it does: cryptographic mandates. user delegates spending authority to agent with price limits, timing, conditions. best for: consumer-facing agent commerce where a human pre-approves spend boundaries. cost: no settlement fees (doesn't move money). limitation: doesn't solve "how does payment settle" - pairs with x402 or MPP. partners: 60+ including mastercard, paypal, coinbase, shopify, walmart. visa intelligent commerce — CARD RAILS EXTENSION what it does: tokenized virtual card numbers for agents. programmable spend controls. standard card-not-present checkout. best for: transactions above $5 where consumer protections, rewards, and credit matter. cost: ~$0.30 fixed fee per transaction. kills economics below $0.30. limitation: can't serve 76% of current agent tx volume. hedging via MPP plugin instead of competing. wildcard: visa CLI beta - card payments from developer terminal with touch ID per purchase. how to choose: building a headless API for agents at $0.01/call → x402 or MPP with stablecoin settlement building pay-per-token LLM billing → MPP sessions building consumer agent that shops on user's behalf → AP2 + settlement layer underneath building for existing visa merchant network above $5 → visa tokenized credentials building for liability coverage on agent errors → amex ACE (agent purchase protection) what failed: openAI shelved chatgpt instant checkout march 2026. ~30 shopify merchants after 5 months. no sales tax, no fraud prevention, no multi-item cart. lesson: consumer checkout UI for agents isn't the market. protocol endpoints are. the stack assembles, not competes: AP2 → authorizes x402 or MPP → settles visa → hedges on high-value consumer flows google cloud's pay[dot]sh uses x402 AND MPP together. coinbase is both AP2 partner and x402 creator. don't pick a protocol. pick the layer you're building and wire the others in.

  PayPal just sucks in general. I tried setting up my own account for business (nothing to do with this issue) & they froze me out for “suspicious activity” & I could do nothing about it. They have no customer service. You can DM them on X, but you’ll never get a human response
