  A shopping plugin quietly rewrites who gets paid at checkout. The retailer pays a commission it didn't owe. The creator who drove the sale gets nothing. That's the kind of thing my guest this week on Won't Fix, @bgedelman, finds and exposes. He read the code for Phia, who called it a recent bug; he collaborated with MegaLag on the Honey/PayPal plugin scandal. Ben has been doing this kind of research since 2001. We talked about a bunch of topics, including the story he thinks is being ignored: AppLovin. He decompiled ~600,000 lines of obfuscated code and has some questions for carriers and AppLovin about their consent/installation practices. AppLovin has said that every install has explicit user consent.

  @SweetAI_Art Hi, could you please add alternative payment methods other than Stripe or Link? I'm having issues using them. I really hope you guys can add crypto or PayPal options.

  @Viggie_Smalls93 When I’m doing the online Christmas shopping. I’ve done the intrest free payments through PayPal. I thought there was an angle because there was 0 interest, just equal payments broken up over time. I still think it’s a scam? I guess they make their money if you miss payments?

  Practices. @PayPal makes no sense how terrible your customer service is the inability to provide good information to your clients that you obviously don’t give a **** about.

  $PYPL reports tomorrow morning. Stripe and Advent offered $60.50 a share in mid July. Reuters reported that the board views the offer as too low. The Journal reported last week that Stripe and Advent were still weighing their next move. Analysts expect $1.28 in earnings per share on about $8.5 billion in revenue. Revenue is expected up roughly 2%. Earnings are expected down about 9%. Management already said this would happen in May, because last year's second quarter had one time benefits that do not repeat. Payment volume is expected to grow faster than revenue. Much of that growth is from lower margin processing, where PayPal handles the payment in the background for other companies and keeps a smaller cut. The branded checkout side, where people use the actual PayPal button and PayPal keeps more, grew 2% last quarter. The key number to watch is the profit they keep on transactions before running costs. Management said it would be down about 3% this quarter, and guided a slight decline for the full year. Whether they hold that guide is the other thing to watch. What is your opinion on PayPal?

  @tveskov The rest of the world is finally figuring out what Silicon Valley realized decades ago: he's an idiot. He got kicked out of PayPal for being a moron (with spoiled brat entitlement issues), and it only went downhill from there.

  @stripe and Advent International just offered $60.5 per share for @PayPal, valuing the company at over $53 billion, a 28% premium to its last closing price. @samboboev and Otabek break down the deal structure, why PayPal's market cap fell from $360B in 2021 to around $36-42B today, and whether the Department of Justice would let a combined entity processing $3.7 trillion in annual payment volume go through

  Hello everyone>< I'm a new artist to this overseas platform, so I have quite a few questions... How do people usually pay when using Vgen? I see many people using PayPal, but I've also heard that its drawbacks include having money held or account locked. How to fix it?😭

  @Fayumerii @AskPayPal I'm seeing this happening more often these days randomly to people... I'm sorry and I hope you can get your account back 🥺 I'm moving all money from PayPal immediately to my bank account because of this issue, it doesn't feel safe anymore to keep money on a PayPal account.

  @Mybtsstanacct1 Same!!! 😭 It’s so annoying! They should give at least 2 min to finish transaction once it’s in your cart, like they do concert tix! PayPal has NEVER asked me to sign in whenever I purchase anything from Weverse! And all of sudden today I had to sign in! 😭

  okay imma give yall little tips on these scammers. number one: they’ll never ft you. they’ll make up a ****** excuse like “oh my phone doesn’t work” or “i’m uncomfortable” or whatever.they’ll never ft you because they don’t have the tickets. if they don’t want to ft you just walk away. 2. if you’re looking for vip and see people trying to sell vip and see it’s row 1-3 it’s fake. if you scroll down all of them are trying to sell those rows. and i’m sure not everyone has those rows. 4. they’re selling below face value. 500 for vip? yeah right. they don’t know the face value and don’t know how much it cost cause they don’t have the ticket. walk away if they’re trying to sell you at 500 or less than actually face value. 5. look at the account. account based from 2009 or later than recent years. they bought the account. look where the accounts from. if it isn’t from the us majority of that is fake. 6. look at replies as well. see them trying to sell the tickets to other people? fake as well. they’re scammers trying to get you to pay for them. 7. look at their repost. not reposting recently or from months ago. fake they’re trying to make it seem they’re real fans. 8. they won’t do paypal please walk away. they know it’ll protect you and they won’t get their money.

  @Oliviacoder1 This highlights a critical issue with user interface design and transparency. It's concerning that such vital settings aren't more clearly communicated by PayPal.
