    @AskPayPal Hey Thieves! I am awaiting a large refund for you that was ALREADY REFUNDED by the seller. I gave you the refund code and you keep leading me in senseless circles saying that the case was closed and no error or refund made. You are better than this--or so I thought!

    Anthropic just went after 30 million small businesses. Claude for Small Business dropped this week. 15 pre-built workflows. Connectors to QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Docusign, Google Workspace. Invoice chasing, payroll planning, lead triage, contract review, cash-flow monitoring. All baked in. No extra charge beyond the Claude license. Here's what most people will miss about this: The biggest AI lab on the planet just told small business owners they're worth building for. Not enterprise. Not Fortune 500. The 10-person company that's been duct-taping tools together for years. That's a market signal. When Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google all start shipping SMB-first products in the same quarter, it means the enterprise-only era of AI is over. But pre-built workflows are the floor, not the ceiling. They solve the generic problems every business has. The real unlock is when a business deploys an agent trained on their specific operations, their specific data, their specific customer patterns. That's where the ROI compounds. Generic workflows get you started. Custom agents get you ahead. 10-city live tour starting yesterday. Free half-day workshops for small business owners. Anthropic is doing field sales now. Let that sink in. What's the first workflow you'd hand off to an agent tomorrow morning?

    Constantly said they would send a wip that same day, and never did, 4 times it happened, stating it was finished. I got tired of it and sent a report through PayPal, luckily I was able to get a refund. I'm saddened to hear it wasn't just me having issues with this artist.

    PayPal just froze your funds for 180 days. Ads still running. Suppliers still want payment. This is what happens when your business runs on a personal PayPal tied to your real name. The fix isn't a stealth account. It's a proper HK company with a business PayPal. DM "HK"

    @LacDonna @Dubs4Mutts I don’t use PayPal or Venmo (an offshoot of PayPal) because of problems I’ve had with BOTH. I will donate through a website, through Zelle, and by mail. Provide a mailing address and I’ll send a check.

    @buythefukndip @ryancohen @Comedyorwat Ive been thinking this is a step towards getting the float monster part of the play in a paypal, venmo or insurance co. He will get as much cash out of ebay as possible no doubt, but much will go towards paying down debt early on. As we say these days, we will see what happens.

    @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

    @T00ManyCommies @Brushbeater If we had a serious government that violently cracked down on visa and Mastercard you would see alot of things get cheaper. Bc most of the time its not processors like stripe or paypal coming up with clown world ****, its visa and mc forcing them to be gay.

    @ThatUnusMF @_ViviVovo_ I personally do not think it is worth it. I have one because I thought it would be a good business model but I have used it maybe once cuz I just thought it low key kinda sucked. I just use paypal and have never had an issue.

    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.

    @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.
