  @kabu_nyan0214 @Capito_Nihongo Problem is I don’t have an account which accepts foreign transfers only from my country and Paypal unfortunately blocks everything and supports my bank net. But if I could open a Japanese account that accepts foreign payments, that would be perfect for me.

  Thank you @PayPal for deactivating my account for zero reason. No warnings nothing just an email saying you deactivated it. I've had that account for years with no issue. I refunded the person, but my account got deactivated -_-

  Shopify checkouts leak at the payment step. 1,800 sessions with 36 ATC and 0 sales → That’s payment friction. Buyers show intent—then vanish at checkout. The culprit: limited payment choice (PayPal only). 0 purchases after 36 checkouts = users were forced down a single trust path. 50% of leads abandon checkout if their payment method isn't listed. Minimize drop-offs by removing Shopify hurdles. - Match payment options with the audience type. On Funnelish you can build checkout paths around how each market actually pays.

  @zachbussey Streamlabs doesn't have a safe payment for tipping. It's Paypal ONLY. And making a business paypal doesn't always work as over the 11 years I've streamed, every time I tried setting it up it still released your private information. Losing SEPay would be a MAJOR loss. I'm suspicious it's true they are going down because they have ignored 7 separate emails from shorting me on a sponsorship.

  @omoalhajaabiola @RaenestApp I am not the type to talk down on other brands but PayPal set a $20 benchmark of African transactions, $20! That is equivalent to writing a continent off but @RaenestApp puts us back in and I am all for anything that benefits and puts Africa back on the global map. 1/2...

  @Haalove1981 Oh no :( It sounds like PayPal may have flagged the transaction for a security/compliance check. Maybe try contacting PayPal support or checking if there are any account limitations, knew it because my paypal have same issue too:D

  @StarlightAkari_ @zachbussey Paypal has been known to lock accounts and lock balances. Venmo hasn't done that to my knowledge and I can pull it out right away. I avoid paypal at all costs because of all of their issues.

  @vikrambuilds worst weekend **** issues i have seen were from delayed webhooks, retries, and almost no clear info while reaching partner teams... debugging **** logs in that state is painful. went through that in my PayPal days and other teams too. thats part of why i am building FetchSandbox MCP now... so devs can run API workflows closer to production from the IDE, instead of only testing one request with Postman/curl.

  @HedgeFundTips The reason I invested in PayPal was due to their entrenched position in Europe, predicated on the idea that Apple Pay’s threat is neutralized by Android’s regional dominance. This, I am afraid is no longer the case. Google Pay is rapidly scaling across Europe, presenting an equally formidable, native operating system threat. Consequently, PayPal’s core branded checkout business is on highly unstable footing. We tend to underestimate the non-linear velocity of consumer behavior. While the shift from writing checks to swiping credit cards lasted couple of decades, the current migration from cards to native digital wallets (smartphones, wearables, and biometric authentication) is occurring at an exponential pace. In an ecosystem dominated by hardware-level convenience, PayPal lacks a structural moat. This fundamental erosion makes a further multiple compression and market cap drop entirely possible. I see a lot of parallels to Charter Communications (which I've been buying this week and last): despite robust legacy fundamentals and an aggressive, long-term share buyback program, Charter’s stock is down 65% in twelve months (worse than PayPal's 38% decline), and 80% over five years (same as PayPal). Both are down for the same reason - a fear that their core product is facing irreversible terminal decline.

  @Spookidusk Ugh, this is terrible! If you sent payment through PayPal you could theoretically do a chargeback since it hasn't hit the 6 month mark- if you are comfortable w that and feel you have no other options. If you wanted, I'd be happy to draw something for you for funzies <3

  PayPal is down roughly 25% since I wrote this. The market is up more than 30%. That is not just underperformance. That is the market telling you something. In payments, scale used to be the moat. Now distribution, ecosystem control and consumer habit may matter more. Apple is not just competing with PayPal. It is changing the rules PayPal used to win under. $PYPL

  @Morpho @SentoraHQ @merkl_xyz 8/ Let's break down what's actually happening here. PayPal wants to expand PYUSD's footprint in DeFi. So they set aside a budget and distribute PYUSD to anyone who deposits into this vault. Sentora gets higher TVL. Users get extra yield. PayPal gets PYUSD circulation and visibility. Everyone wins until the campaign ends.

  @GenuineComics A long time ago we had a problem with stripe crowdfunding was really new and they did not support crowdfunding at all. So they canceled the merchant account for it. So I say hey you know what I'll use PayPal. All the creators that were on it including Larry Higgins, you know the crazy ******* Canada guy that does Nyobi? Well they decided that that was a scam and all started attacking us for no reason. So I said **** it pulled the plug and deleted the site. 6 months later fund my comic launched. I've given Luke Stone two or three years now to actually do something and make his site better and he hasn't. That's because he can't. He doesn't own his code He leases it It's like a WordPress plugin. And yes fun my comic is a WordPress site. It's not built on the right architecture after it gets big enough it will fail and just stop ******* working. So I said you know what I'm going to bring it back and I put in all the latest technology and now here we are.

  People are struggling with the cost of living. At the same time the whole country is celebrating PayPal finally arriving in Sri Lanka. Freelancers and Small and Medium sized Enterprises are excited and honestly this is a genuinely positive step for Sri Lanka’s digital economy. But while everyone is celebrating… What happened to the millions lost in the recent cyber hack? Reports say Around USD 2.5 million meant for a debt payment was redirected through a cyber attack. Another USD 625,000 payment also went missing just days later. Total public money lost more than USD 3 million. Several officials were suspended. Investigations have begun but the public still does not know whether the money has been recovered. And then there is the Norochcholai “Coalgate” issue Auditor General reports highlighted low quality coal tender irregularities and major procedural failures. Billions in public losses were flagged. Senior officials resigned only after intense public pressure. People voted for change and stronger accountability. It is therefore fair to ask these questions when similar issues continue to occur even under a new government. PayPal’s arrival in Sri Lanka is good news. The country desperately needs digital growth, foreign income and better payment systems. But progress should never mean ignoring corruption, cyber security failures or missing public money. Sri Lankans deserve both economic progress and full transparency and accountability.
