I'm not sure specifically what the current Paypal top stories are. You can check Paypal's official website, their social media pages like Twitter or Facebook, or news platforms that cover financial news for the latest Paypal - related stories.
One success story could be about a small business owner. They started using PayPal for their online store. With PayPal's secure payment system, customers felt more confident in making purchases. This led to an increase in sales and the business was able to expand globally as PayPal is widely accepted around the world.
Well, I once heard about a guy who sold some items on an online platform and was supposed to receive payment via PayPal. The buyer sent the money, but PayPal put a hold on it for no clear reason. The seller couldn't access the funds for weeks, and during that time, he had to deal with the angry buyer who thought he was scamming. PayPal's customer service was unhelpful, just giving him the run - around with automated responses.
Once, I sent money to a friend for a concert ticket. I accidentally put in an extra zero. My friend was so shocked when he saw the amount. He immediately called me, and we had a good laugh about it. Then he sent the extra money back.
One horror story is about sudden account freezes. People have their accounts frozen without clear warning or explanation. They might have money in the account that they can't access for business operations or personal use. It can be a real nightmare especially for small business owners who rely on Paypal for transactions.
A merchant had a big order fulfilled and the payment was held for 180 days. They couldn't afford to hire more staff for upcoming projects as planned. This led to delays in other orders and a bad reputation in the market.
Well, it really varies. Some indie developers who sell their visual novels directly might also offer PayPal as a payment option. But not all visual novels are sold in the same way. Some might be exclusive to certain platforms that don't support PayPal, while others, especially those from smaller creators or on more open - to - all digital marketplaces, are likely to have PayPal available. So you need to check on a case - by - case basis.
There was a case where a buyer paid via Paypal on Ebay for an item. After receiving it, the buyer filed a false claim of 'not as described'. Paypal immediately refunded the buyer without giving the seller a chance to respond. The seller lost both the item and the money. It was really unfair as the item was exactly as described in the listing.
There was a time when I ordered a small item online and the seller sent me a huge box instead. When I contacted them through PayPal, they said they thought I was ordering in bulk by mistake. It turned out their PayPal item description was all wrong. We both had a chuckle over it.
