  Understandable? Sure. However: wishing your governemnt would do anything to control PayPal when PayPal itself as being a huge issue with anything NSFW recently even ******* the whole itchio site for example? Right now you're being held hostage and your choice is accept or move.

  Imagine having £400/$500 in a PayPal account but for various reasons you don’t sign in for 3+ yrs. When you try, you’re told your account has been deleted & all your money with it! Why are people saying it’s ok for #PlayStation to do this with game purchases? #digital #PSN

  And this is exactly why I'm terrified to use PayPal 😭 I feel like those who wish to commission people outside of the US and Europe, should just be using Wise instead as form of payment, personally I haven't seen anyone got into any issues with Wise..??

  @PaulWavelength You are right in many ways, however... What we see in the industry right now is something called a "cluster economy". A cluster economy is when you have all of an industry gathered at the same place, even direct competitors. They eat lunch together and they mingle together (think of those old silicon valley cocktail parties during the IT boom) What makes such economy powerful is because shared knowledge between professionals happen casually. That empowers the productivity and innovation for the parties, which allow them to outcompete the rest of the world and sell products to the rest of the world. The cryptocurrency industry today is a cluster economy, those that are originated in the same location know what to do and how to do it. The problem with that is that cryptocurrencies are not products, they are economies. And you can't create an economy where the product cost nothing and the business is everyone else. Bitcoin grew big and resilience because it was global, it had a purpose and it was in demand from a user point of view (Paypal had started to freeze user funds in 2008 for trading virtual goods) When crypto clusters have bad market cycles, it takes down the whole market because the whole market is in the same cluster. But since Bitcoin is global that doesn't happen as easy. The resilience comes from being globally widespread. This is why currencies fail today, most of them come from the same cluster, those that aren't in that cluster are tired of maintaining it. So for that reason I rather be in limbo that under the clarity act. Because the current state of crypto isn't global enough, it's clustered and that is long-term unhealthy. The only successful currency today is a grass-root based one (btc), without a founding team. The only other gras-root based ones that were given an honest chance were PoW forks (meaning just copy-cats). New grass-root projects never received the attention they deserved because the noise of the cluster economy was already too loud and too desperate. (Hastily written response, I would have to spend a day writing it more properly :))

  $PYPL has broken my red Zone which means that the bottom is in and we see the next Impulse. Are you invested in PayPal?

  @base Same script each time. I thought by now base would have brought a long lasting solutions to the problem of ACH, SEPA, PayPal, Debit/Credit cards and co payments and transfer problem. I was thinking we were about to have a functional international all in one payment platform.

  @inkfycreates Yeah, and everyone else Warns and Helps its User to prevent any issue. PayPal is the only one that doesnt care, because at the end they can claim the money for "Not following/knowing the Rules".

  @AskPayPal ​"Hello, I am completely locked out of my account and getting an identity error ('trouble making sure it's you') on both web and the mobile app. I cannot initiate a password reset. Please help me manually verify my account so I can regain access."

  @hafuma It's simple, don't use PayPal.. They have some weird ways of locking accounts. Even using new device to login can trigger them.

  2. Check your chargebacks cross reference your customer service tickets. (Each platform that accepts payments needs to be monitored Shopify, PayPal, Affirm, etc) Chargeback management can help solve underlying issues around friction in the post purchase customer journey. Often times, we find that customers "have been trying to reach out to support" and then confusion because the customer support "inbox is at 0". With some digging, we find 'reply to' emails routing to nowhere, consumer requests are going to spam, OR maybe someone is reaching out via social media inboxes that aren't being checked. With customers who submitted chargebacks and they HAVE reached out to support, this offers a chance to be able to either win the chargeback w/ evidence OR find ways that we could have dealt with the situation differently to avoid the chargeback.

  @bubblegum711971 Eitherway, I'd be careful I've never had issues using PayPal, but then I'm very careful and paranoid about this sort of thing :V
