Sherif (@sherif584) reported@asha_shar @XboxGamePassPC @Xbox To the Xbox team, In Egypt we face a major issue: only credit cards work, as local debit cards don't support USD payments. Please consider adding PayPal, Google Pay, or Apple Pay to improve accessibility for Egyptian players. Thanks

Indicdialectic (@indicdialectic) reported@KaranSharma1008 @Prayag_Krishna Why do you have problem with money? That guy is the richest man on this planet. Will he have shortage of money? He created money by launching PayPal and selling it for millions. Then investing in Tesla then owning it, then creating spaceX and other things. Where did he cheat?

M/Y MidnightSalt (@MYMidnightSalt) reported@Conste11ation Just wanted you to know what the "first purchase" experience was like. The first purchase was declined.. It was to buy Dag on Uphold using Paypal through Gemini. It was a mastercharge issue, not a problem with my account. However, the "customer service" person did not know what digital assets were, did not know what DAG was, did not know what Constellation was, and thought it would be fun to speak at the exact same time I was asking where could I use the card to buy digital assets. Im curious why the employees have no idea how to buy DAG or where the card works to buy $DAG? Or is Gemini just another card that you cant buy digital assets that you get back digital assets instead of cash when you use the card? Basically worthless for buying digital assets?

Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) reportedOk now I see the difference began @Square and @PayPal. ✅ PayPal offers zero customer service and if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem In contrast, Square offers customer service that will keep you on the phone for half an hour and tell you that if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem

Ryan O'Hanlon (@RyanROHanlon) reported@karomancer That's the current problem with social media. Hard to tell if a person is an actual person, a scammer or a bot. That's why more people are reliant on middleman services because scammers want to do business directly through services like paypal compared to gumroad or shopify.

Talking Tokens Podcast (@_TalkingTokens) reportedMay Zabaneh (SVP & GM of Crypto at PayPal) explains why payments still feel fast, but are actually slow, costly, and fragmented and how stablecoins could quietly replace the system underneath. In the latest episode of @_TalkingTokens, we break down programmable money, global payments, and where stablecoins are already working at scale. Links below

OMF (@exolon) reported@lzsthw Me: "Hey Firefox, open a private window" Firefox: "Ok, restoring your last closed window which is somehow always a PayPal login window. Did you yet again use the Chrome key combo (ctrl-shift-n) instead of the weird Firefox one (ctrl-shift-p)" Me: "Yes."

ecom payouts (@ecompayouts) reportedMost of the "low conversion rate" problem isn't in the funnel, but in the checkout. Customers want Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal, platforms that are convenient and they trust. Most processors checkout is absolute garbage. We integrate with native Shopify checkout and many others. DM us.

Cats-a-Tonic (@Cats_a_Tonic) reportedSuch an absolutely stupid system of "support". Cannot log into my account as I lost phone and have a whole new phone and contact number. SHOULD be simple to fix this but keep being directed to customer support INSIDE MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT. @PayPalUK @PayPal @AskPayPal

Fiona@PLAY BOTH PARANORMASIGHTS (@ThornheartCat) reportedFedEx won’t let me pay a duty… it keeps saying error when I try to use PayPal and when I put my card info in it says it’s wrong… is it because it’s a debit card and not a credit card? I don’t have a credit card, what do I look like, a functioning member of society???
