  @Mickskinz May be stating the bleedin' obvious here... 1. Stop the DD at bank level 2. Close the PayPal account - via the "forgotten password" route 3. Contact Microsoft Support directly - "Services & Subscriptions" see if the storage plan is visible & tied to an active Microsoft login

  @saimai_000 excuse me. Are you planning to sell online overseas? I don't mind how much the shipping cost is... The remittance is a little problem for this, I can overseas money transfer or using PayPal... I'm really curious about this book🥹💦 I would appreciate it if you could consider it

  $PYPL - the thesis played out. It just wasn’t the PayPal I wanted. I bought this quite a long time ago because the valuation was very low versus the cash they were producing. The downside case was that if the price got ugly enough, buybacks would grind it back, or someone would make a bid. That’s what happened. The bid is not where I’d like it to be. It did recoup what I’d lost. I didn’t sell into the offer, and I didn’t double down at the bottom. There might still be talks of a higher number, and the tape has been doing well. I’m thinking about selling now, or holding a while. Waiting and hoping for a better bid is starting to feel unnecessary. This is likely not the company I want to own for a longer time. Especially with Alex Chriss gone. Checkout is still barely growing, accounts are flat, and the growth I originally thought was possible looks a lot less likely to me.

  @Arjunssidhu @_jaannelle the main issue with paypal imo is they like nickel and diming you with fees. like if you're trying to transfer out to your bank acc it's either wait 5-10 days or pay the 1.75% instant transfer fee. also their USD/CAD exchange rate is always worse than the actual value

  @retrotink2 Is the shipment going to the address on the order or the PayPal address? I'm having trouble completing my order and I think it's because of the address I chose on PayPal. I'm in Europe and I want the shipment sent to the US.

  I paid for everything even the thumbnails that didn’t pass moderation because he said he would fix them which he ended up saying later that it’s not his problem after we agreed he would do it. After the PayPal cases are concluded if I end up winning them, I’m letting him keep the thumbnails that did work, which is less than half of them.

  UPDATE: THIS DUDE DID IT AGAIN. He "pretended" to pay me back the negative balance. Which did cover the issue. Blamed his "mom" then proceeded to DO IT AGAIN. I cannot exactly give money back when it covers a negative balance. He used my donation link. I could very much lose my paypal over this. He paid for the **** he caused me, said his "mommy" wanted to negotiate. This dude claims hes 18. Calls me an AI artist, and asks for the money he robbed me of back. This dude is actually trying to ruin my life. Most malicious thing I have ever dealt with as an artist. Wtf man.

  I believe that the most hated stock of 2026 is probably PayPal $PYPL. Investors have almost completely abandoned it. Growth has slowed, competition has increased, and the stock has taken a massive beating. But the Q2 numbers are making me think twice. • Payments volume up 10% • Free cash flow up 157% So the question is: Is $PYPL truly broken, OR Are we hating on it more than it deserves? 👀

  @annbauerwriter @intrnlcmbstn Venmo and PayPal issue Form 1099-K when payments for goods and services exceed $20,000 and you have more than 200 separate transactions in the calendar year. Personal payments are excluded. Personally I'm all for helping individuals and small business people with cash or Venmo.

  PayPal can be great, but the issues I’ve had with it this year are driving me insane. Of course it’s being the worst right now when I really need it. If I’m going to miss out on stuff because of this I’m really going lose it.

  The entire world launch market was about $4 billion a year. He stood in front of Stanford students and said his rocket would fly for about $6 million a flight, against a competitor charging many times that this is Elon Musk in October 2003 – introduced as the guy from PayPal, because that is all he was SpaceX is one year old in this room. No Falcon has flown. Tesla does not exist yet as anything you would recognise he divides the whole market by the number of flights and reads the number out loud, the way you would check a bill on why the price had never come down: he says nobody had tried to build the vehicle and the engine and the avionics in one building, so every rocket carried four companies' margins no slides worth the name – a room of maybe a hundred students – a man in a black shirt who has not yet been photographed a million times this recording exists because Stanford filmed its entrepreneurship course for a teaching archive and put it out free bookmark & watch today ↓

  Breaking down TPV for $PYPL is an absolute headache. It looks like management is going to a lot of extent to bury the TPV for Paypal branded checkout in their filings. Absolutely not needed but I guess they are trying real hard to bury a declining business.

  @annbauerwriter I've never run into that problem but I can see how it would happen. A lot of people are moving away from cash or checks. I do some digital money such as Zelle and PayPal but only with trusted vendors. For you it sounds like it now needs to be an up front question.

  It’s ridiculous; I’m having a serious problem with a client who filed a series of PayPal disputes. It’s absurd because the complaints stem from the fact that some thumbnails didn't pass the UEFN similarity check—something we all know is normal and happens with 90% of thumbnails. Even so, I made sure they passed the check; I even enlisted @MalakiDZN help to ensure they did. Yet, days later, the client disputed every single thumbnail I created—even the ones that had passed the check. On top of that, he defended his claim on PayPal by alleging I had plagiarized existing work. That’s ridiculous, considering I basically took Roblox concepts he sent me and adapted them for Fortnite. It’s absurd. I hope no other designer works with him, because this could happen to them. I don’t know why @PayPal hasn’t resolved this yet; having more than six disputes filed at once doesn't even make sense—it’s just a desperate attempt to get his money back 🫩🫩

  @Tao_mans_son At work, but if I could give you a way to think about Kaspa. Think of it more like TCP/IP than like PayPal. Nobody asked in the 1990s, “When is JPMorgan going to adopt TCP/IP?” JPMorgan adopted applications and services that required the internet, and TCP/IP became part of the invisible infrastructure underneath them. The analogous path is: TCP/IP → Internet applications → enterprise adoption Kaspa → decentralized applications/rails → enterprise adoption So JPMorgan doesn’t necessarily “adopt Kaspa” or decide it wants to hold $KAS. It adopts some financial application because that application solves a real problem and that application happens to use Kaspa underneath because it needs real-time decentralized consensus/settlement. The major difference, of course, is that TCP/IP doesn’t have a native scarce asset. Kaspa does. That’s where the separate $KAS value-accrual question begins.

  @Mickskinz Web: Microsoft sign-in helper - has the option that you’ve forgotten all your sign in details. I had a nightmare with a fraudulent DD on PayPal. I complained, they did FA. Contacted my bank, NatWest, which cancelled DD and refunded me the money that had been taken. Good luck!

  @Solyant1 @StopKilingGames I mean yeah, the point of the coin is for the guy to make money. No one is denying that lmao, he's making money through a pretty untraceable mean so Take Two lawyers can't track him down easily from donation collections You want them to link their legal PayPal instead?

  🚨STRIPE’S ENDGAME: BUY $PYPL , OWN THE TRANSACTION LAYER $PYPL is an M&A probability curve. Stripe and Advent started at $60.50. PayPal said no. The stock moved to the bid. Now the only number that can fix this is the clearing price. My range is $65–72. Because $75+ requires Stripe to decide the strategic value of PayPal exceeds the regulatory and integration tax. Stripe owns the merchant infrastructure. $PYPL owns consumer distribution. Venmo gives Stripe the consumer network it never built. OpenRouter gives Stripe a toll road into AI commerce. Put it together and Stripe is positioning itself between the consumer, merchant, money movement and increasingly the AI agent initiating the transaction. That is the bull case. The bear case is equally simple. You are combining two enormous payments networks, inviting regulators into the room, spending $50B+ to do it and then asking two very different organizations to operate as one economic machine. So I wouldn't underwrite $PYPL here as a turnaround. If deal dies, $PYPL will price lower. If deal clears around $65–72, the shareholders monetize the control premium. If Stripe decides that PayPal is strategically irreplaceable, then we see $75+ becoming possible. For Stripe, the bigger question is quietly assembling the financial operating system for the next internet. Payments were layer one. Consumer distribution is layer two. AI agents may be layer three. $PYPL is the expensive bridge between them.

  @RobHoffman_ @itsalexvacca Find out before you get involved in an advisor scheme 1. They "forget" to pay or they're slow to pay, or want to use some BS like PayPal. It's like pulling teeth. 2. Very often they're fishing into your business for info that's worth more than the payment.

  @thetrainline The error for the card txns was not very helpful, just said "try again" (that's normal ofc, no merchant gives details of what might be wrong) but the PayPal error mentioned a problem with the "payment system" (this was 9-9:30 last night, Friday)
