  @Ronaldo7trades @khoiuna They should imo be focusing on improving branded checkout. That’s their main issue rn. Most analysts main issue with PayPal is on branded checkout

  @James_Jordan @bet365 Oops can’t * (not can in my previous tweet). Yeah the withdrawal likely has to go back to the manual card entered. Fix = deposit with Apple Pay again then withdraw (will force it back to Apple pay). Or just use PayPal for $5 and then you can withdraw back to PayPal.

  RANT Why must PayPal hate new accounts. I just created a business account confirm if my account is good, costumer support said yes. Proceeds to hammer me with money stuck there for days. Doesn't even tell you what's the main problem. Man this sht sucks.

  In our portfolio, PayPal fell 12.7% on Friday to $53.66 after Advent and Stripe walked away. The board had rejected their $60.50 a share as too low. The shares are now 11.3% below the offer it turned down. Generac fell 6.8%.

  Kaz @nejatian on the biggest lesson he learned from Shopify CEO @tobi Lütke: There's only 3 rules you learn in business school: 1. Money is good 2. More money is better 3. Money now is better than money later "What ends up happening is: people very frequently sell future growth at a massive discount for today's stock price." "The result of that is PayPal. Over and over that company made the wrong decisions because they cared more about today than 10 years from now." "And guess what—it is now 10 years from now and the company’s in deep trouble." "Tobi had this wonderful mentality of applying essentially a zero discount rate to future growth." "He was like, 'Growth tomorrow or growth today, I’m indifferent. I will never sacrifice growth tomorrow for growth today.'" "What ends up happening is, because human beings always misunderstand compounding, you end up getting way higher growth later on." "It’s a very hard thing to do in practice because you have to look at a chart and say, 'Nah, I’ll take some of it later.' That’s very hard." "There are 2 SaaS companies that stand differently from the rest: Palantir and Shopify." "I think it’s partially because they do things that are just so different than every other company."

  @robertromano @JonMalin 1. Go to PayPal Resolution Center, select the transaction, choose Report a Problem, then choose "Significantly Not as Described." Don't select "Unauthorized Activity," as PayPal will instantly deny the claim once they verify you authorized initial payment. Upload evidence. 1/2

  Here's another neat trick I do every year. If you have paypal, you can break down the entire cost into 4 payments. Meaning you pay 25% percent now while PayPal pays the merchant the entire amount and then you can make payments every 2 weeks. Doooo iiiittttt!!

  So you're saying this dude got 50 mil in venture capitalistism funds, and says we can't own money, the companies like cash app venmo and paypal in my point of view are scrubbing data to make customers look like they lost nothing... thats a breach of trust and is punishable and those in decision positions will be held liable. I don't want the see Xmoney go down the same path.!!

  @stphnmaher It’s gonna be a little more involved than you think- If Canada’s goal is true technological independence from the United States, a Canadian sovereign cloud is only the first piece of an enormous puzzle: Canada would have to replace or become independent of Amazon/AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle for cloud; NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell, Micron, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and GlobalFoundries for processors, AI accelerators, memory, networking, communications and other semiconductors; Dell, HPE, Supermicro, IBM, Western Digital and Seagate for servers, storage and enterprise hardware; Cisco, Arista, Juniper/HPE, F5 and Ciena for networking and communications infrastructure; Microsoft, Apple, Google, Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, Workday, Intuit and Broadcom/VMware for operating systems, productivity, mobile platforms, databases, CRM, ERP, virtualization and enterprise applications; Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Zscaler, Okta, Cloudflare, Cisco and Microsoft for cybersecurity, identity and internet protection; OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft and NVIDIA for frontier AI models, development platforms and AI infrastructure; GitHub/Microsoft, IBM/Red Hat, Docker, Datadog, Snowflake, MongoDB, Confluent, Elastic and HashiCorp/IBM for software development, containers, databases, data management and infrastructure automation; Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe, Apple and Google for major payment and digital-wallet infrastructure; Apple, Google and Qualcomm for smartphones and mobile ecosystems; Akamai and Cloudflare for content delivery and internet infrastructure; and, critically, Cadence and Synopsys for semiconductor-design software plus Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA for the equipment needed to manufacture advanced chips. Even that doesn’t completely solve the problem, because Canadian, European, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean products frequently incorporate American chips, software, patents, design tools or manufacturing equipment somewhere in their supply chains.

  HOW TO CREATE AND SELL AN EBOOK IN NIGERIA You do not need to be a professional writer to create an ebook. You just need to know something useful that other people want to learn. Here is the full process from idea to income: - Step 1: Pick a topic that solves a specific problem: The more specific your topic, the better it sells. "How to Register a Business Name with CAC in 2026" will outsell "How to Start a Business in Nigeria" every time. Think about what people ask you frequently, what you know well, or what you spent time learning that others would pay to skip. - Step 2: Write it: Use Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Write in simple, clear language. It does not need to be long. A 20 to 50 page ebook that solves one specific problem is more valuable than a 200 page ebook that rambles. Write like you are explaining to a friend. - Step 3: Design the cover: Go to Canva (canva. com) and search for ebook cover templates. Pick one, add your title and name, and download it. Free and takes less than 10 minutes. - Step 4: Convert to PDF: Once your ebook is ready in Word or Google Docs, export it as a PDF. That is the format you will sell. Go to File, then Download, then PDF Document. - Step 5: Upload and sell on Selar Go to selar. co and create a free seller account. Click Add Product, choose Digital Product, upload your PDF, write a clear description, set your price in naira or dollars, and publish. Selar handles payment collection and delivers the ebook automatically to your buyer. Payouts land in your Nigerian bank account the next business day for naira sales. You can also sell on Gumroad (gumroad. com) which takes a flat 10 percent per sale and pays via PayPal. Most Nigerian sellers access their Gumroad earnings through Payoneer. - Step 6: Promote it Share your Selar link on your WhatsApp status, X, Instagram, and any group you belong to. Your first sale almost always comes from people who already know and trust you. Offer a launch discount to create urgency and ask a few people to share your link as affiliates. Selar has a built-in affiliate feature you can activate for free. You do not need a large following. Nigerian creators with 500 engaged WhatsApp contacts consistently earn more than those with 50,000 cold social media followers. Create once. Sell forever. Start today. Above all, love God.

  @Zarkos85 Hi @Zarkos85 — thanks for letting us know, and sorry for the trouble. It was a short-lived issue on the checkout page and it's fixed now; card and PayPal are both going through again. Please give it another try, and if anything is still off, open a ticket and we'll get on it.

  $PYPL: Acquisition hopes dashed; retail investors debate "value trap" vs. "undeserved sell-off." Review of the previous trading session: PYPL plunged 12.7% last Friday, ranking among the worst performers on the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Capital that had flowed in based on acquisition rumors during the previous quarter exited en masse; discussions on X shifted from "how much would Stripe pay?" to "what is PayPal actually worth as a standalone business?" (Source: Reuters) Key Event: Stripe and Advent reportedly abandoned plans to acquire PayPal; the prior offer was around $60.50 per share (implying a valuation of ~$53 billion), but negotiations collapsed due to disagreements over pricing, financing, and regulatory issues. Bullish Views: PayPal’s valuation is already significantly lower than that of most payment industry peers; Venmo, Checkout, and its crypto business still hold value for potential spin-offs. The new CEO is driving business restructuring and cost controls, meaning future earnings recovery need not rely solely on acquisitions. The current valuation may still attract interest from other private equity firms or payment companies. Bearish Views: The recent rally was driven primarily by M&A premiums; following the deal's collapse, the stock must be repriced based on fundamentals. PayPal’s branded checkout market share continues to be squeezed by competitors like Apple Pay and Shop Pay. Without a rebound in revenue growth, the low valuation could persist; one cannot assume a market bottom simply because the stock has fallen sharply. Trading Strategy: Avoid trying to catch a rebound immediately after the initial sharp drop; first, observe whether the price stabilizes in the $52–$54 range. A recovery above $57–$58 is required to confirm that panic selling has been absorbed; until then, it is better to watch from the sidelines rather than taking a heavy position in hopes of another buyer emerging.

  Ok I’m a little calmed down now I’ve gotten reassurance that it’s alright if I propose the idea of taking donations. No one should feel pressured to help at all, but my cashapp and PayPal are in my bio. I am going to try all the advice you guys are giving. I’m not sure if this is even the full bill though 🥀

  @linuxuser1996 Just to verify that this issue still exists. I intentionally logged out of PayPal while my password manager was still enabled. I closed and then reopened it. Then it began crashing. Disabling the password manager (with protection compatibility still enabled) temporarily fixed it

  Claude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.
