  @AskPayPal @dhaneeshc @AskPayPal.m locked out of my account. I don't have access to my authenticator app and the SMS option was removed. I cannot use the website 'Call Us' verification because it requires a login I can't perform. Please help me reset my 2FA.

  PayPal is pushing a turnaround plan, but its latest earnings beat didn’t win over investors. Revenue rose 4% to $8.7 billion in Q4 2025, slightly below forecasts, and branded checkout growth slowed to 1%. The miss sent shares down over 20%, and CEO Alex Chriss stepped down effective March 1, with HP’s Enrique Lopez taking over. Management also cut its full-year outlook to flat or low single-digit growth, citing weak demand in travel, crypto, and gaming. - World Business News.

  @T00ManyCommies @Brushbeater If we had a serious government that violently cracked down on visa and Mastercard you would see alot of things get cheaper. Bc most of the time its not processors like stripe or paypal coming up with clown world ****, its visa and mc forcing them to be gay.

  PENGU generated $40m in merchandise revenue, hit 100b GIF impressions, launched a payment card with 100k signups in 24 hours, got an ETF filing from canary capital, testified before congress, and integrated with venmo/paypal through paxos. token is down 84% from ATH. the reason is simple. zero on-chain revenue accrual. no smart contract buybacks. no revenue share. "governance" over an IP you don't own. in may a pudgy wallet moved 137m PENGU ($1.5m) to OKX, bybit, gate, and bitget. price dropped 7%. that's not a buyback program. optimistic math: $40m revenue, 25% to buybacks, $10m annual buy pressure on a $655m FDV. that's a 1.5% yield. pendle PT-USDe pays 6.8%. ethena sUSDe pays 7.53%. solana staking pays 7%. the IP is a legitimate business. the token is structurally disconnected from every dollar it generates. mechanism beats narrative, every single time.

  I'm planning to start PayPal commissions soon... The reason is that I need money to repair my PC, which is still relatively new but has broken down, and my secondary PC is too old to be used for game development 🥲 I really need the money 🥲

  @base Every UI you’ve released thus far is pretty bad. Base app is terrible. Think PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Zelle etc. Simplicity leads to adoption.

  @AskPayPal Hey Thieves! I am awaiting a large refund for you that was ALREADY REFUNDED by the seller. I gave you the refund code and you keep leading me in senseless circles saying that the case was closed and no error or refund made. You are better than this--or so I thought!

  On $MELI Most investors see a stock down 30% and think of an opportunity. With MELI, it's more complicated than that. MELI is a buy at the right price, but we think there’s still some downside to go. This is genuinely one of the best businesses in the world. It's Amazon, PayPal, UPS, and Goldman Sachs for 650 million people, most of whom are yet to shop online. E-commerce penetration in Latin America sits at 12%. China is at ~35%. The average American makes 41 online purchases per year. The average Latin American makes just 7. The runway is generational. The fintech flywheel is extraordinary. 83M monthly active users. $19.9B in assets under management. The Mercado Pago credit card is the most used on the platform in Brazil, accounting for 50% of transactions, which occur off-app at supermarkets and gas stations. That is a primary banking relationship for people who have never had one. There are 300 million underbanked people in Latin America. MELI is their first bank. The ad business grew 73% YoY in Q1 2026, 4x the regional industry rate, at near-zero marginal cost, built on 27 years of first-party data no rival can replicate. Q1 2026 revenue was $8.85B, up 49% YoY, the fastest growth rate in almost four years. GMV reached $19B, up 42%. Fintech TPV hit $87.2B, up 50%. On the surface, extraordinary. But look underneath. EPS came in at $8.23, missing consensus forecasts by roughly 7%, the fourth consecutive earnings miss. Operating income fell 20% YoY to $611M, with margins compressing to 6.9%. Net income dropped 15.6% to $417M despite revenue growing 49%. The credit book has grown to $14.6B, up 87% YoY, and no matter what anyone says, growing a loan book this fast is not prudent. Plus, the loans business has lower-quality earnings. The pattern is consistent. Revenue accelerates. Profits disappoint. Management guides for more investment ahead. The 30% drawdown has priced in some of the bad news. Not all of it. Margin recovery remains a 2027 story at the earliest. Great company. The price is still not right. We’ll try and buy once the market capitulates (remember the market sold off Google to 18x earnings last year!).

  @nono2357 Absolutely love this! Working on a very similar business, PanamaSeaeSIM. No account or login required. eSIM access is tied to Order ID. Our site doesn’t track or log user metadata info like IP or device fingerprinting. We currently are launching with PayPal as our payment processor but have plans to include crypto payments in the future as well. Would love to hear about your experience so far growing.

  Got hit with a SIM swap fraud. Bank confirmed unauthorized transfer. PayPal still denied my claim multiple times and kept pointing to “successful authentication.” So apparently if a hacker gets your texts, it’s still considered “you.” This is broken. @PayPal

  @pikminpreggedup for direct bank withdrawals on vgen you'll have to use stripe instead of paypal and stripe only allows withdrawal at $50 minimum. it might be a non issue entirely or u might get stuck waiting for enough money to withdraw

  @ryancohen Stopped selling with them years ago when people would buy and receive product, say it was broken and ebay/paypal would side with them when all they really wanted was to get an item for free or deep discount. 1985 wants the design back.

  Had a heavy accent and answered by just saying “support” I asked what company he was “support” for and he said PayPal. I said that the company I was calling about was not PayPal. He asked what my problem was and I told him that I was charged for something I did not order…

  @LacDonna @Dubs4Mutts I don’t use PayPal or Venmo (an offshoot of PayPal) because of problems I’ve had with BOTH. I will donate through a website, through Zelle, and by mail. Provide a mailing address and I’ll send a check.

  @CryptoTice_ Same institutions that fought PayPal. Fought Venmo. Fought every financial innovation that threatened deposits. They slowed all of them down. They never stopped any of them permanently. The vote might get delayed. The direction does not change.

  George (@George_Dubs_) reported 51 minutes ago

  @ebittdah @Jclouie1Im But that’s why it’s so smart, the market will pay kings ransom for the growing but unprofitable business that is Venmo and put no value on the slow growing money printing machine that is PayPal. Huge value unlock. They can sell Venmo and still maintain buybacks/FCF

  The first PayPal alert he ever got was $12. He screenshotted it four times. Sent it to nobody. Just sat in the dark at 1:47am in his family house, phone brightness all the way down so his parents wouldn't see the light under the door. That amount was not serious money at that time. But he sat there for a long time. Because he had just proved something to himself that nobody could take back. The first online payment doesn't feel like money. It feels like permission.

  A year ago basically two companies issued stablecoins. Circle and Tether. That was the market. Today 20 banks and tech giants are in line to issue their own through Anchorage. Western Union. PayPal. Fiserv. List goes on.

  @libsoftiktok Is the same type of “Settlement” begun under Obama that has PayPal “donating” to Left-wing NGOs instead of to the Treasury specifically to pay down our debt??

• 
  Joe Gardner (@Tailored_joe) reported 59 minutes ago

  PayPal's real strategic question isn't "can we fix checkout?" It's: when AI agents are initiating trillions in transactions, does PayPal's network become the default settlement layer or does Stripe/Circle/Coinbase get there first? Stripe's private valuation sits at ~$159B vs. PayPal's ~$43B market cap. That gap tells you what the market currently believes. What do you think PayPal's actual moat is in 2026?

  LetsCodeTogether (@LetsCodeTogethe) reported 1 hour ago

  PayPal just cut 20% of staff. Coinbase cut 14%. Both said the same thing: "We're moving to smaller, AI-augmented teams." This isn't a future problem. This is happening right now. The people who learn AI tools today won't be the ones replaced tomorrow What are you doing about it?
