  I need to stress that this is NOT Anti-X on my part. This is constructive criticism: this is clearly something that's broken (another follow of mine is getting almost all of her posts blurred, including a static photo of a kitten). And I'm currently going to have to ask PayPal Credit for a refunds on an xAI Supergrok that has been being billed two months after I canceled it. It's not unreasonable to ask for guarantees of safety and to fix demonstrable failures that could block access to private property before committing our money to you, even in an app we like and yse daily.

  here's how to make your first sale without an audience, without a product, and without spending a dollar step 1: think of one problem you've solved for yourself in the last 12 months. lost weight. cleared skin. organized apartment. grew followers. learned to cook. fixed sleep. anything step 2: write the solution as a numbered list in your notes app. every step you took. every product you used. every mistake you made. every shortcut you found. raw. unedited. brain dump step 3: text 3 friends this message: "i'm putting together a guide on [topic]. would you pay $20 for the exact breakdown of how i did it with every step and product listed" if 2/3 say yes you have a validated product. if they say no ask "what would make it worth $20 to you" and adjust based on their answer step 4: clean up the brain dump. add links to products. add before/after if you have it. export as PDF. send it to the friends who said yes. collect payment through venmo, paypal, or cash app step 5: screenshot the transaction. screenshot their reaction when they read it. post both with "just sold my first digital product. if you want the guide DM me. $20" you just made your first sale. the number doesn't matter. the neural pathway you just created does. your brain now has proof that strangers will pay you for what you know. that proof rewires everything that comes after it

  @bernarditoro_ You can fix product perception by building a product to global standards. Why should I target Nigerians for a SaaS aimed at solving a global problem when I can use Flutterwave for USD checkout or recurring plans? It even has a Pay with PayPal feature bro.

  @mags_b22 @Dominos_UK Same, I just had it authorised. Called up and member of staff said that there is issues with the bank cards as well as Paypal. My family and I never experienced this before, now we will have to wait nearly 30 days for our money back due to the Authorisation Pending.

  IMPORTANT PSA: Tipping Through Streamelements can get you doxed if the person you are tipping has their Setting toggled off (which I think it is by default) which says Tippers may edit their username. If they have it where tippers may not edit their username and then must use only their paypal credentials, then the streamer being tipped will see your full name. Thankfully, I have trustworthy friendos and I found this out after tipping. We didn't know it was a streamer setting issue, we thought it was on the tippers end. Thought I'd get the info out to all the peeps taking tips through streamelements. Below is an image of where to find that setting.

  Paypal shareholders have ZERO economic incentive to engage in buyout discussions with Stripe/Advent below $110/ share. Rejecting them would in fact open the door for the most bullish case: the acceleration of $PYPL Intrinsic Value growth over the next 12 months. Here is the math: •Paypal rejects Stripe/Advent offer below shareholder acceptable value of $110 per share. Stock drops back down to $50. •Paypal continues to execute buybacks at current pace of $6 billion per annum. Takes out roughly 120 million shares. The lower the stock goes the more powerful buybacks become. Since the company is a cashflow machine that creates a flywheel by which market pessimism increases Intrinsic Value per share. This is not theoretical, management has already demonstrated they are willing to do this, buying back 67MM shares at $44.99 in 1H 2026. •Management’s turnaround plan continues at current pace, no heroics just plain boring. Continue executing shift into financial services, begin realizing already earmarked cost savings. They deliver $6.20 EPS, continue generating $6 billion in FCF. At 13x that puts the company share price at $80.6 in 12 months. •Add a $25 control premium to that for any buyer that appears then and Paypal shareholders are at $105/ share. And this does not take into account any additional buybacks or business growth after year 1. •$110 is the fair buyout price for Stripe/Advent to pay now for Paypal shareholders to relinquish a bright future. •We know Advent cannot pay that because their PE math begins to fall apart. Stripe needs to go solo or find better financing if it does not want to miss this strategic opportunity. Paypal Shareholders do not support selling the company below intrinsic value and Paypal shareholders should not be asked to subsidize Advent’s return requirements.

  PayPal held $2,500 of my friend's crowdfunding donations for 21 days last year. No explanation, just a reserve. The money people needed for a funeral sat frozen behind a dashboard. That's not a glitch, that's the design.

  @SecretsofMaine It was seen all over the world. I had 10 boxes of physical mail in my closet from every country you can name. Even one from China. Then they just shut me down. BOOM. In 24 hours I lost paypal and youtube. That's how they do it when you're not in the club.

  I'm holding my status as a former video editor and YouTuber for the time being because of another PayPal email confirming the permanent deactivation of my account after I contacted support about resolving disputes and negative balances. I can't use another payment system to refund my VGen clients and resolve the disputes from PayPal as it's locked on the payment platform, and sadly Wise, Payoneer and Stripe - the alternatives for client payments - isn't accessible in my country. It is potential that I'm requesting @_VGen_ support to ban my account permanently due to this mess - and I can't open my comms any longer - due to both my broken reputation and my PayPal account being banned. I'll update you when there's more info.
