  @amansaini_11 As long as your product solves their problem & is user friendly, they don't care about anything else. Easy & fast checkout is soooo important - I've left websites when the checkout is really complicated & doesn't offer PayPal or stripe!

  The artist decided that that was *my* problem that *I* needed to fix by issuing chargebacks. PayPal only gave me one of two and I decided to cancel the commission because holy ****, that’s a ******’ terrible way to run a business

  @elleloveCHI @MattLubawski It wasn’t a misdirected payment, it was an exchange rate correction. I originally sent someone in Norway $100. The PayPal exchange rate for the Norwegian Kroner was messed up that day. They charged my account $5,000 instead of $100. They corrected it 3 weeks later crediting my account and making me whole. Then two months later they corrected it again in error giving me $5,000 that wasn’t mine.

  My PayPal account has been receiving penny donations every day 20 times a day for over a year now from random accounts that I assume had their accounts stolen. I contacted PayPal multiple times to which they told me “we are aware, just do nothing” They then locked my account, I had to prove it was me not stealing money by providing info I shouldn’t have had to provide. I got that resolved. Today my account was permanently disabled due to the fraud that I reported numerous times to which they say I can’t appeal. TLDR: I report issue to PayPal, they fix nothing, they ban my account. What a dogshit company. Absolute scum of the earth.

  If I just let go of this client because of the PayPal issue, is that okay? I opened a new account, and within a few seconds, it was permanently limited.

  @Adiofreak Long story short, stop reporting your account to paypal. It's not your problem to worry about. Who cares? It sounds like you dug yourself into this hole.

  @lisaangeluk thought I’d mention I’ve just made an order, wouldn’t accept Apple Pay, card details and took me three attempts to pay by PayPal. Not sure if there’s an issue or this was a random failure. I tried three cards, both Apple Pay and by debit card and each one failed. Ta!

  @Adiofreak I had PayPal before. I stopped using it for over a year, then when trying to sign in, it didn't recognize me and maybe believes it wasnt me, asked for proof so I did and still got locked. Cause I'm not in USA they think I'm scamming, I'm done with them already

  $PYPL investors just got the outcome the stock was not priced for. Bloomberg reports that Stripe and Advent have abandoned their pursuit of PayPal. The consortium had offered $60.50 per share, valuing PayPal at more than $53B. Yet $PYPL closed Thursday at $61.47, suggesting investors were pricing in either a higher offer or another bidder. PayPal’s board reportedly viewed $60.50 as inadequate. Now management has to prove it was right. The standalone numbers are not exactly broken: • Q2 revenue: $8.68B, up 5% • Adjusted EPS: $1.38 • FY2026 adjusted EPS guidance: $5.38 • Adjusted free cash flow guidance: at least $6B • Planned 2026 buybacks: approximately $6B At Thursday’s close, that valued PayPal at roughly 11.4x guided earnings and 9x guided adjusted free cash flow. The problem is that branded checkout volume grew only 2%, while adjusted operating margin contracted by 248 basis points to 17.4%. My take: this is not new operational deterioration. The probability of a takeover changed overnight, not the underlying business. If the report is confirmed, the takeover premium disappears and $PYPL becomes a pure test of Enrique Lores’ turnaround. The board rejected $60.50. Now it needs to create more value than that.

  @Adiofreak Not trying to blame ya, but why didn't you escalate the issue with them? That's clearly not something you're doing so you should have told them no they need to fix it and get what ever those accounts are to stop doing it. And if not that why did you still continue to use PayPal?
