Steven Hughes Transport Videos (@StevenHughes129) reported@bran_di98 @DavidJa51216245 @OrevaZSN A lot of it is down to the processor. Your bank is only one part of the chain. Visa/Mastercard/PayPal/Square etc all form part of the transaction chain. While money moves from your available balance instantly when you process a transaction, it usually shows as "pending". 1/2

A.M. (@steelballrunner) reportedCrap, 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.

Shot them an email to see if it's solvable but they basically make me take payments in PayPal but then pay for production with card only so with all the transfer fees and conversion I am losing money lol 😭

Nigel J Bevans Photo (@NJBDP) reported@hmefsww Hi, unfortunately I closed my website store down as they were charging a ridiculous amount to sell things. To keep prices reasonably I had to find an alternative and only have eBay at moment. I could do it via paypal cutting out ebay if you would like?
-
Mr Hankey (@hivanchi) reported@paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

Cadillac Ceryss #smokefleet #nafo (@SerlyFilya) reported@Mutualaidboost_ URGENT!!! PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. EVEN $1-2 ADDS UP!! WE ARE SO DESPERATE AND AT THE MERCY OF KIND GENEROUS PEOPLE! PLEASE HELP US GET SOME GOOD FOOD AND TOILETRIES! I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

Detarame (@Detarame247) reported@_ChokoMami In my case, I didn't even get to do comms, people barely so my stuff, and when I finally started to get more, I had to shut down the whole thing because PayPal doesn't work in my country anymore, I can never get money from the outside anymore.

OwenCarter (@OwenCarter_k) reported$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.

jinowns (@Jinowns87) reportedHere's another neat trick I do every year. If you have paypal, you can break down the entire cost into 4 payments. Meaning you pay 25% percent now while PayPal pays the merchant the entire amount and then you can make payments every 2 weeks. Doooo iiiittttt!!

Potat0 (@PoPaP0) reportedRANT Why must PayPal hate new accounts. I just created a business account confirm if my account is good, costumer support said yes. Proceeds to hammer me with money stuck there for days. Doesn't even tell you what's the main problem. Man this sht sucks.

sail_on_a_surfboard (@CNCKeith) reported@AskPayPal account locked up, we are american company been doing business with paypal for 24 years, we call every day, we submitted all requested documents to prove that we are a real company, "paypal help" is no help, they are withholding 100K+ , we are going to have trouble making payroll, treating a US small business in business since 1979 like some sort of scammer. this is beyond ludicrous, i'm convinced now someone at paypal is trying to steal our hard earned money, PP-L-836499913052

Ronald Britton (@Ronaldp38dy) reported@JayJayasuriya Permanent shutdown with zero explanation is such a hard place to be, no reason means no way to even fix whatever triggered it. Hope @AskPayPal actually gives you something concrete soon.
