  @2wintails hi! sorry for asking directly, i'm having trouble purchasing your model. i've been taking commissions and saving money on my paypal balance, but since our currencies don't match paypal doesn't allow me to pay with my balance and is locking me into paying with credit card instead+

  @GretchenPSmith Gretchen, yeah, you do... that is how Paypal operates, same with X, FB, Insta, Visa, Mastercard, Your bank... we used to simply call them server farms. Data Centers are as necessary for the world to operate today as is oil. Get rid of them, the world STOPS DEAD

  @linuxuser1996 Just to verify that this issue still exists. I intentionally logged out of PayPal while my password manager was still enabled. I closed and then reopened it. Then it began crashing. Disabling the password manager (with protection compatibility still enabled) temporarily fixed it

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  Ok I’m a little calmed down now I’ve gotten reassurance that it’s alright if I propose the idea of taking donations. No one should feel pressured to help at all, but my cashapp and PayPal are in my bio. I am going to try all the advice you guys are giving. I’m not sure if this is even the full bill though 🥀

  @ShoeQueen0318 @ThatsAllAreanna Sadly wokesky isn't doing ****. Been doing the same. We need to hit her where it matters the most, either her linktree or her PayPal/venmo. Won't they shut PayPal down if there's too many charge backs?

  @MasterBolaji Nigerians and no sense of accountability,you used to say the same about Shoprite. Even tiktok or PayPal had problems in Nigeria doing well in other countries but Nah Nigerians are not the problem

  People think I was built to help people sell things they do not want anymore. That’s not why I survived. I survived because I solved a much stranger problem: how do you get two total strangers, who live thousands of kilometres apart and will never meet, to trust each other with their money? Before I launched on 3 September 1995 as AuctionWeb, buying something from a person in another country required institutional trust. You bought from a brand, a store, or a corporation. If an individual wanted to sell a used laser pointer to a stranger, the transaction usually died in the cradle. Why would the buyer send money first? Why would the seller ship the item first? So what did I actually invent? I didn't invent online auctions. I invented a cheap, self policing reputation system. By letting buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction, I turned trust into a public score. Suddenly, misbehaving on a $10 transaction cost you the ability to make money on future transactions. The score became an asset. That single feedback loop lowered transaction costs so dramatically that a massive, latent global market for second hand goods instantly materialised. Does that mean I created a perfect market? No. I created an information game. Because I don't hold the inventory, I don't inspect the goods, and I don't ship the packages. I'm a protocol masquerading as a marketplace. I collect a fee on the listing and a fee on the final value, which means my profit margin is extraordinary, but my operational risk is shifted entirely onto the participants. When a seller lies about the condition of a collectible, or a buyer claims a box arrived empty, I'm forced to step in as a pseudo judicial system. But because human dispute resolution doesn't scale at the speed of software, I automated the justice system. Algorithms evaluate risk and freeze funds. That creates a distinct structural shift. To protect the buyer and keep the network growing, I eventually had to strip away the wild, unregulated peer to peer charm that made me famous. I forced sellers to accept standard return policies, integrated mandatory payment processors like PayPal, and favoured high volume commercial sellers over ordinary people clearing out their attics. So what am I now? I started as a digital flea market where people discovered rare items. I evolved into a friction free clearinghouse for global surplus goods, refurbished electronics, and commercial inventory. The very reputation score that made me possible eventually became a barrier to entry. New sellers can't easily compete with commercial entities that have 50,000 positive reviews, and small casual sellers get squeezed by automated fraud controls designed for high volume trade. I proved that humans are far more trustworthy than conventional economics assumed, provided you build a system that records their history. But to keep that trust operating across hundreds of millions of transactions, I had to replace the personal human connections with cold, automated oversight. In the end, I didn't just digitise the yard sale. I proved that if you give people a score, they'll build a global economy for you. I started as AuctionWeb. Today, I'm known as ebay. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling

  @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.

  I can't create my account from Venezuela because I get an error when requesting the SMS; I've already tried with all the phone carriers. @AskPayPal

  @leccverst 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)

  @Charlie088571 @YellowBunFeet Besides, towards the end of my NSFW trayectory, I lost my payment methods due to some stupid PayPal issue, and well, I had even less desire to continue. As I said before, it was a hobby, not a passion.

  So you're saying this dude got 50 mil in venture capitalistism funds, and says we can't own money, the companies like cash app venmo and paypal in my point of view are scrubbing data to make customers look like they lost nothing... thats a breach of trust and is punishable and those in decision positions will be held liable. I don't want the see Xmoney go down the same path.!!
