I don’t want to kick the original author while they’re down, but PayPal is a known shit company, and has been almost from the start. It’s closely related to the leopards-ate-my-face phenomenon — if you’re willing to work for a shit company, expect shit.
Not everybody has all the information to know whether a company is known for this kind of shit. I’ve heard a lot of stories about PayPal screwing over sellers in particular by freezing their funds for no justified reason, but I can see people falling for the “they must have been doing something bad they aren’t admitting” you always see in response to anyone complaining about some authority imposing arbitrary punishments on them.
My personal gripe with PayPal is, I was once relying on income from sales through them, and had withdrawn money to my bank that I needed to pay my rent. A customer filed a spurious dispute (later resolved in my favor) on a sale that was only a tiny portion of that, and their response was to immediately reverse the whole completed bank transfer. So I almost missed paying rent and had to scramble to figure it out at the last minute.
Anyway, fuck PayPal, sympathy to all their victims.
Being surprised about having an offer rescinded from a company that’s widely known for being a shit company absolutely bears some personal responsibility. It’s not 100% - but it’s also not 0%.
That’s another human being just like yourself, posting their likely well-intentioned observations on a situation to a public discussion forum. They’re not being actively hostile to anybody. Please try to have a little grace.
If the idea presented is wrong, attack the idea, not the individual.
The internet is savage enough as it is and we can make it better.
“I’m only working for Baby Bunny Blenders because they have a great reputation in the bunny blending space and they have a strong tech stack, not because I believe in blending baby animals. They are only testing the technology on baby koalas and pandas so far there’s no real world application.”
Oh dude, have you heard of this guy, Donald Trump? He’s a master of this move you’ve just pulled: literally doing the thing you’re accusing others of. The irony is delicious.

I mean, the dude used to be at Binance. This isn’t someone making good decisions.

Anyone applying to PayPal can google it before they accept an offer.
When people get scammed, it’s not their fault just because there are conceivable ways they could have learned it was a scam.

this should be repeated more often.
This is a shit response that’s devoid of empathy and common decency. You’re literally blaming the victim.
You’re shit.
Yo. That’s pretty extreme!

I sincerely hope you have a good day. <3

If you stick your hand in a bear trap…
I ain’t arguing.
