  I mean I did click the link but it required me to login to my PayPal but I didn’t so that shouldn’t be a problem right? I changed my password anyway just in case

  Claude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

  Hey @PayPal, why do your customer service agents keep dodging me? Three separate agents have abruptly closed our chat today right when I asked them to resolve my issue This is incredibly frustrating. Please DM me so I can actually get some real help #CustomerService #BadService

  @CardsJakes I called both PayPal and Venmo because I noticed the recipients for opposite platform were not being found anymore. They submitted a ticket to IT because there was no know issue.

  A client wanted paid roles in their discord. Here's the whole flow. User visit site, discord login, checkout in crypto or PayPal, payment webhook hits my backend, verify, bot assigns the role, cron watches expiry. Sounds clean. It wasn't. The webhook fired twice on one payment. Same user, two events, milliseconds apart. Without idempotency keys that's a double charge or a corrupted subscription record. Fix: every payment event gets a unique key written to the database before anything is processed. The second event sees the key and exits. Boring code. Saves you a refund and a very annoyed customer.

  @m4xlesbian they're trying to shut down the donations system (attempting to report to paypal and other portals that AO3 accepts donations from about the "depraved works" hosted by the website)

  @robertromano @JonMalin 1. Go to PayPal Resolution Center, select the transaction, choose Report a Problem, then choose "Significantly Not as Described." Don't select "Unauthorized Activity," as PayPal will instantly deny the claim once they verify you authorized initial payment. Upload evidence. 1/2

  @Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

  @Mutualaidboost_ URGENT!!! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. EVEN $1-2 ADDS UP!! WE ARE SO DESPERATE AND AT THE MERCY OF KIND GENEROUS PEOPLE! PLEASE HELP US GET SOME GOOD FOOD AND TOILETRIES! I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

  @JimManahan Receiving payments restricts your account. If you use PayPal for purchases meaning money going out from your linked cards, then there's no problem. Receiving payments from clients is a different discussion, especially when your account is new.

  @divoraartstudio If you call me the name you see on the PayPal it’s over. I will use my finite resources to hunt you down and slap you silly until you stop.
