@Crypto_Diet This is a good advice but not for everyone
You might buy a business but donβt have the skill to improve it and end up making a huge loss and the business of private equity is also capital intensive
Thereβs no need to rush the process, acquire the skill first
Remember wen our moms use to wear this? We owe our ancestors serious apologies Africa as a whole
Men wey wise n value their health knows this is true if u canβt wear this tie towel wenever your are in doors
I clearly understand people's frustration with PayPal.
Back in 2020, I had gigs that paid me handsomely.
I worked with HNIs from the UAE, US etc which made my proceeds total to $15k
Trust me the limits on that account was $250k, so a $15k transaction was in order.
PS: not like I withdrew all at once, I only withdrew $4500.
Then came the bomb.
I initiated the withdrawal to my account as i always do, and went to bed..
I woke up the next morning to see an email from Paypal saying my account has been restricted for suspicious activities, my money was on hold for 180 days and that was it.
As if not enough, I wrote emails and made calls to the support team.
Then came the worst of it all.
I reached out to the People I worked with and they communicated to PayPal letting them know my work was legit.
My account was then permanently closed and my money was going to be sent to me after 180 days.
I trusted PayPal and waited for 180 days, only to get a mail that my money was used to solve the harm against PayPal..
Guess how much balance was left for me?
$45.
I broke down, not just because PayPal messed me up.
But that money was going to solve three major issues, relocating to a new apartment, paying for my mum's medical bills, and a $3000 certification I was chasing then.
So if there's anyone who understands PayPal loss, it's me
If PayPal is a hook for you, you can try any of the following alternatives.
1. @dodopayments
2. Adyen
3. Square
4. Paddle
5. Authorize .net
6. WePay
Stripe remains my best.
One reason I didn't add Braintree is that it is owned by PayPal
There you have it
This is blatant fraud.
No company has a right to withhold money someone else has earned without legal justification for why it was seized.
Paypal is doing yahoo yahoo on Nigerians and the Nigerian government did nothing.
