  Anyone else having trouble with @PayPal locking their account and not allowing the balance to be transferred out?

  @Lucys_Views Yeah I don’t think they’re overly secure. I can’t work out how they got over the 2 step process, as it sends me a sms code to sign in. I changed my password, removed most of my linked cards. Although Tbf once I reported to PayPal, they refunded me every transaction within hours.

  @BBCWorld My concern is justice, This BBC investigation is heartbreaking. If dogs are being abused to raise fake donations, we should not look at this as just poverty” or hustle, it is animal cruelty and fraud. Uganda has laws to prosecute this. Authorities, GoFundMe/PayPal and social platforms must follow the money and shut it down.

  @SparkysTech @PayPal I'm sorry mate. That is absolutely a terrible situation... I really hope you can recover the money :/

  @Pirat_Nation Banks have zero ******* business telling us what games should cost. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal already try to censor what we’re allowed to play, now they want to help push $80 as the new standard? Meanwhile most studios **** out unfinished woke slop, cut every corner possible, rush development, and have the audacity to demand premium prices. If the game is actually good and worth it? Sure, charge more. But asking $80 for mediocre trash and broken launches? Get absolutely ******. Gamers aren’t stupid. We’ll just wait for the inevitable sale… or skip your garbage entirely. Stop punishing your customers for your greed and low-quality woke slop.

  @aye_pete @teddi_speaks “Why is it always Nigerians banned from every useful service? PayPal? banned. Stripe" Yet Nigerians living in the West use these same platforms without any issues. Did they suddenly stop being Nigerians?

  @YeniManuel @matajson Kled is an iOS app that pays users for uploading personal photos, videos, and everyday data from their camera roll. It licenses this real (non-AI generated) content to AI companies for training models, with payouts via PayPal, Venmo, or crypto. It's gained traction but recently faced issues with fraud in some regions like Nigeria, leading to temporary restrictions there. Download from the App Store if interested.

  @terriblelovebrd Yeah!! It's always the first thing I fill out when placing my glitch orders I wanted to know if there's a specific email I can use to track my payment/order, because for some reason PayPal didn't register it and that worries me ;;;I've never had problems processing payment..

  $PYPL earnings drop tomorrow. Here’s what I care about. I’ve held PayPal since entry at $40.94. Not because of Venmo spinoff rumors. Not because of some activist catalyst. Because the underlying business generates serious free cash flow and the market is pricing it like a dying company. Tomorrow is a check-in, not a verdict. Here’s what actually matters to me: 1. Braintree margins. Braintree has been a growth engine that came at a cost. Volume up, margins compressed. I want to see that equation start to reverse. If margins aren’t moving in the right direction, that’s a problem worth tracking. 2. Checkout growth or a credible line. Branded checkout is the moat. If it’s not growing, I want to see a clear trajectory, not PR language. Show me the number or show me the trend. 3. Free cash flow direction. PYPL has lumpy FCF history. I’m not expecting a clean print. I’m looking at the 12-month direction. Is it heading higher. That’s the question. 4. Buybacks. This is the one. If management is generating cash and deploying it into buyback, they’re telling me they believe the stock is cheap and they’re transferring value to shareholders. That’s the whole thesis in action. What I don’t need tomorrow: spinoff announcements, new product launches, turnaround strategy slides. That’s all extra. The core question is simple. Is this business stabilizing and is the cash going back to me. If yes, I hold and I wait. The 18% IRR hurdle doesn’t care about headlines. It cares about fundamentals moving in the right direction. Report drops tomorrow. Watching closely.

  @wellospov_ @avipat_ Kled is an iOS app that pays users to upload photos, videos, and other everyday content from their camera roll. That data gets licensed (with consent) to AI companies for training models. No ads, fast payouts via PayPal/Venmo/Solana. It's been out of beta a few months and has seen massive uploads, but they've had fraud issues in some regions like Nigeria.

  @nicawlette Unfortunately we no longer have PayPal as we were having too many issues with it, as well as the fact that you can only have PayPal business on big cartel. Although we have many other new payment methods such as klarna and clear pay!

  @Mikoxto__ also Lavatop includes PayPal and card as payment methods, whereas on Boosty currently only the card works. I haven't observed any payment issues and that makes me very happy

  @askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.

  $PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 results were released Stock down roughly 10% today despite revenue $8.35B (+7% YoY vs. $8.05B expected), adjusted EPS $1.34 against $1.27 consensus, TPV up 11% to $464B But management guided an adjusted EPS decline of roughly 9% YoY for next quarter Full-year guide was reiterated, not raised The structural picture keeps deteriorating: operating margin compressed 182 bps, GAAP net income fell 14%, active accounts were flat sequentially at 439M, and transactions per active account slipped 1% But for me the bull case isn't dead, Lores announced a $1.5B cost-reduction program and a three-segment reorganization that clearly sets up a possible Venmo spin-off Stock trades at 9x earnings with strong FCF and $1.5B in buybacks this quarter Thesis is about execution and corporate action, not growth I hold my initial position $PYPL

  @ecwid There is no bigger issue for a seller than a customer not being able to complete their purchase. Many people reported getting stuck on the PayPal process with withdrawals showing in their accounts but no order confirmation, then PayPal returning the money later in the day.

  George (@George_Dubs_) reported 41 minutes ago

  @LeveragedFun @SiliconSalvage But this is how they fix the core business, is divesting Venmo and possibly brain tree and being laser focused on PayPal wallet + branded checkout. Selling a business that makes no money for $20B is not selling low.

  Most people meet Elon Musk at the outcome and completely miss the origin story. At 12, he coded and sold a video game (Blastar). As a young founder, he built Zip2, got acquired, then helped create PayPal only to be pushed out before its biggest moment. Instead of playing it safe, he put nearly everything back on the line: pouring his own money into SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. when both were burning cash and on the edge of failure. In 2008, rockets were exploding, Tesla was weeks from collapse, and he was down to his last reserves choosing between keeping one company alive or letting both go. Most would’ve folded. He doubled down. That same persistence later powered reusable rockets landing themselves and made electric vehicles unavoidable. This wasn’t luck. It wasn’t smooth. It was pressure, risk, doubt and a refusal to stop building. He didn’t begin as unstoppable. He became unstoppable by staying in the fight longer than anyone expected. Start where you are. Stay longer than it’s comfortable. Build anyway. 🚀
