  @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.

  Telegram has 950M users and zero public reputation system. X has a fraction of that and something Telegram can't build: a feed where trust is visible. Here's the part most people miss about X Money. It's not a wallet feature bolted onto a social app. It's the final piece of a 3-step funnel X has been building for years: attention, then reputation, then now, money. A bank meets you at step 3. You've already decided. You're already holding your card. The bank just processes it. X wants step 1. The post. The reply that made you nod. The 18 months of someone posting trade calls in public, right and wrong, before you ever send them a dollar. That's a different business than PayPal. PayPal moves money between strangers. X wants to move money between people who've already built trust, in public, for free, over time. Every bank in the world solved the wrong problem. They made moving money easy. Nobody sends money to a stranger because it's easy. They send it to someone they've watched for a year.

  The Visa trend check: payments volume accelerated 9% to 10%, cross-border +13% in World Cup summer. Flag it: that's borrowed demand, the same comp problem Coke, Hilton and PayPal flagged for Q3/Q4. The aggregate holds. The tournament comp decides what's real.

  @gy_sup @kianamosser Yeah I think so too, personally I haven’t had any issue using a PayPal business account as an individual for earning like $100 here and there. But it seems like a lot of the people getting their accounts shut down are making a lot more and it gets flagged as “suspicious” 😔

  I never had a problem with Paypal ever since I started using it since 2023, so I don't know why these artists are experiencing these kinds of problems. I just send invoice with TOS and detailed information, get paid, and that's it.

  Now that I posted that edited screenshot, business owners with permits, artists who use PayPal, and people with over 20k in their PayPal balances have started sharing that they've experienced the same thing. This was never just a "tax fraud" issue, it’s a PayPal issue.

  You spent $2,000 on a MacBook Pro for a new hire. Then $180 a year on the Microsoft 365 seat, $60 on Adobe, $144 on Slack, $240 on Zoom. All assigned to one laptop, one employee, one desk. Then your CFO asked how many of the 400 laptops in this company are actually being used, and by whom. You opened the Google Sheet. Half the rows were blank. Employees who left six months ago still had assets assigned. So IT called ServiceNow. ITAM Standard is $100 per user per month. Professional $150. Enterprise $200+. The median ServiceNow contract on Vendr is $124,364 a year. Implementation runs three to five times the license fee. Then IT called Lansweeper. $239 a month for 2,000 assets. Then IT called Freshservice. $19 per agent, then metered on every asset over 500. You are paying six figures a year to answer "who has laptop DELL-4471" in 2026. Now meet Snipe-IT. A free and open source IT asset management platform that runs on your own server and tracks every laptop, phone, license, and cable your company owns. No cloud. No agents. No per-seat fee. Built in 2013 by a developer named Alison Gianotto who was the CTO of a New York City ad agency when the office had to move. Her team was tracking hundreds of laptops in a Google Doc. She tried every commercial and open source tool. None of them worked. So she wrote her own. When she finished the first full inventory, she discovered the agency was missing $25,000 in assets. Her husband nagged her for months to add a PayPal button. She finally did it. Two days later she had a paying customer. Snipe-IT itself stayed free. 14,113 stars. 3,886 forks. AGPL-3.0. Pushed to the repo today. Here is what Snipe-IT gives you: - Track every laptop, phone, monitor, cable, and accessory in one place - Assign assets to users, departments, or locations with full history - Software license management with seat tracking and expiration alerts - Barcode and QR code generation for physical labels - Custom fields, statuses, and categories - LDAP, SAML, and Google Workspace SSO - REST API for every endpoint - Runs on any Linux box, Docker, or a $5 VPS Here is what Snipe-IT costs: Zero. Forever. No per-user fee. No asset cap. ServiceNow charges $100 per user per month. Snipe-IT doesn't. Lansweeper charges $239 a month for 2,000 assets. Snipe-IT doesn't. Freshservice meters every asset over 500. Snipe-IT doesn't. Ivanti and Flexera hide their pricing behind a sales call. Snipe-IT doesn't. Here's the wildest part: Snipe-IT is used by Sony, Yale University, Fujitsu, and thousands of school districts, hospitals, and government agencies that couldn't stomach a $124,000 ServiceNow bill. Alison's official title at Grokability is Chief Mohawk Officer. For a 50-person IT team, you save $60,000 a year. For a 500-person company, you save $600,000 a year. Your assets. Your database. Your server. 100% Open Source. (Link in the comments)

  @Zmeinir Their update is tedious sometimes, but so far i have had 0 problem with paypal. They do email me at one point before IF im selling a product - please make the account business. Which is did. Idk why you dont want to do so? You can create business invoice, and allow tips etc.

  @Elidyss Taxes and business license are separate things. You can file taxes as a freelance professional operating under your own name legally without a license. Problem is will PayPal accept your documentation & if you’re in your first year what do you do if you won’t get that until 2027
