  @Aerea_caeles If you're referring to what happened to what happens around February when my PayPal account was stolen by my ex-bestfriend, I asked the clients to please request refunds from PayPal immediately several times because I never had access to that account again. I explained the topic in detail here and on Instagram. Some people completed the process and received their money back without any problems. There were 2 people who had problems with their banks, one ghosted me when I tried to explain to the that they should insist with PayPal, another commission never responded to my progress reports, and another asked me to do their commission because I think the bank didn't want to give them their money back and I did it without any problem ª In fact, I still have the records.

  Crap, do I HAVE to submit some kind of photo ID to get my new Stripe/Kofi account to work? I said no to that for two whole years and my old Paypal account got shut down last week.

  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%.

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  @2wintails hi! sorry for asking directly, i'm having trouble purchasing your model. i've been taking commissions and saving money on my paypal balance, but since our currencies don't match paypal doesn't allow me to pay with my balance and is locking me into paying with credit card instead+

  $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.

  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.

  @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.

  @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
