  @AskPayPal Spain.I would like to confirm what I should do in this situation. If I ship the item to the address provided outside of PayPal, will I still be protected under PayPal Seller Protection? I do not want to ship the item until I know the correct procedure to avoid any problems

  @zombaebby I've been using PayPal for years, at first I was just a private user until I was earning more and more than just a small side hassle. (Think like more than €2000pm) and then just swapped to a buisness account. Not had any issues since. I dont know where people have these issues.

  @pnkplasticfangs The "license" argument is a smokescreen. It distracts from the real issue: PayPal demands we act like legitimate businesses to charge us fees and withhold taxes, while denying us transparency and fair process. 🧵👇

  @hafuma It's simple, don't use PayPal.. They have some weird ways of locking accounts. Even using new device to login can trigger them.

  I never had a problem with Paypal ever since I started using it since 2023, so I don't know why these artists are experiencing these kinds of problems. I just send invoice with TOS and detailed information, get paid, and that's it.

  issue are always the one to bring this statement down. It kinda comes of as priviliged considering some people's actually genuine livelihoods rely on that money in paypal, it's just that it either gets flagged before people can even move it to their banks / local e-commerce apps

  @pchopra28 I think that is a fairly consensus take tbh the classic trope is that mafias get formed from companies with some success but not too much and some catalyzing event to churn people out, and people classically cite Paypal as having these conditions I wouldn’t call Stripe a slow burn. going from zero to $200B valuation in 17 years is insane RE your google/fb examples: the reason people haven’t held “ex-google” in high regard since the early 2010s is not because all the great people stayed (plenty of them left), it’s because the hiring bar decayed and the culture itself at google became soft and no longer deeply shaped people

  Hey @PayPal, thanks for arbitrarily choosing the exact moment someone in my family has a life threatening emergency and needs money for medical treatment to decide that I can no longer send money to my wife. We've only used PayPal for a DECADE with no problem. I've been looking for an excuse to find a less exploitative money transfer service anyway. After 10 years, by all means, please go **** yourselves

  @fsonic3 Dude 500$ Is it too much money? Clearly, the problem isn't the taxes, it's the power imbalance behind it. PayPal is a payment gateway; for foreigners like those in Latin America or Asia, it can be a way to diversify savings due to currency volatility, financial security, etc.

  PayPal doubles down on stablecoins and crypto tools, signaling mainstreamed digital assets are shifting payment economics from a fringe option to a core revenue driver. #Fintech

  @DragonKnight_15 In my country, PayPal transfers everything at the end of the day, and I've never had any problems, even when I'm the one who sends the transfer to the bank, so 🤷🏽

  @CoinMarketCap Real substance here - $8.68B revenue beat, raised FY guidance, PYUSD now in 70 markets. The $81M crypto adjustment is a rounding error next to that; the actual story is PayPal building real infrastructure across stablecoins, agentic payments (via AP2/ACP), and identity. This is a fintech incumbent taking crypto rails seriously

  Higgsfield Filmmaker Grant: Why I Want It I've been working as a Motion Designer in Advertising for 10 years. Adidas, PayPal, Walmart. Most of that work lives in small decisions nobody is supposed to notice. That's the part I care about. Deep work, the kind where you sit with one shot long enough that it stops looking like a shot and starts feeling like a memory. I got good at the craft. But I was almost never in the room when the story got decided. The deck arrived approved and my job was to make someone else's idea move. I want to learn to be the director of the story now. Advertising raised me. The commercials I saw as a kid did more to shape what I thought the world looked like than most films did. That's real power and most of us have stopped using it. We make content instead. Content evaporates. Nobody's grandchild is going to quote a piece of content. AI filmmaking is the first time I can reach for the other thing. No crew, no cast, no location, no permission. Just the image in my head and the hours to chase it down. What I want to build is work that resonates. A small film with a character and a turn in it, made with enough care that a stranger feels something they weren't expecting to feel from an ad. And I want to help push this medium past the phase it's stuck in — gorgeous clips with nothing underneath, made in ten minutes, forgotten in five seconds. The tools got fast. The work should get deeper. I have 10 years of knowing why a shot works. I want to spend the next 10 pointing that at stories that resonate and visuals that leave a memory behind. The last thing I made wasn't for a brand. It was a 3-minute animated film for my 2-year-old daughter. She's the character, our dog is in it, and everything she loves is in it too. The train. The zoo. The sticker animals. She's watched it more times than anything I've ever made for a client. I want to learn this craft properly, tell stories worth remembering, and make work that shapes culture instead of just filling it. Reel below 👇

  ✦ PayPal enhances its focus on stablecoins while reporting Q2 results: In its second-quarter report, PayPal showcased the rising significance of stablecoins and AI-powered payment solutions, revealing a revenue of $8.68 billion and an $81 million adjustment linked to crypto assets. The company posted earnings of $1.26 per share, slightly down from $1.30 year-over-year, and below the $1.28 expected by analysts. Revenue increased from $8.29 billion last year, surpassing the $8.47 billion consensus. PayPal's $81 million adjustment excluded from non-GAAP results reflects its strategy regarding crypto and investments.

  @t_anairo People tell you to stop using paypal because you clearly don't understand how to use it properly. if you really need it then at the very least move the money over to your bank as soon as you get it. Your problem is that you use it to store your money, not to transfer it

  The Visa trend check: payments volume accelerated 9% to 10%, cross-border +13% in World Cup summer. Flag it: that's borrowed demand, the same comp problem Coke, Hilton and PayPal flagged for Q3/Q4. The aggregate holds. The tournament comp decides what's real.
