Saanjana Nikita (@Saanjana_Nikita) reportedPayPal just dropped 18% pre-market Stripe and Advent walked away from the $50B+ buyout, according to bloomberg and honestly, this hurts because a lot of PayPal’s 40% rally this quarter was driven by takeover hopes, not some massive turnaround in the business WSJ reported that PayPal thought the first offer was too low and pushed for more. they held out for a better deal and ended up with nothing. that’s the risk with saying no in M&A. now the market cap is around $52.6B, basically where the offer was. except there’s no buyer left to support that valuation. the old problems are still there too. PayPal was way ahead in digital payments, but Apple, alphabet and others have been slowly eating into that lead this isn’t really about PayPal suddenly getting worse today. it’s the market realizing the bailout deal isn’t coming.

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.

Rahasya (@sw_rahasya) reported@goddek @RepThomasMassie @mandyarthur A bit of a bummer for me that paypal locked me out of my account because I cant produce 3 month-old documentation for services on land that gets absolutely no services … not sure how to fix that 🤔

Derek Ashauer (@DerekAshauer) reportedClaude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

Radim Hernych (@hernych) reportedIs it just me having this problem with @PayPal ? Historically, Ybug has been accepting EUR payments via PayPal. Back then, it seemed like a great idea with "free" withdrawals to a bank account, right? Big mistake. Turns out PayPal refuses to withdraw funds in any currency other than your company's local currency (CZK for a Czech-based company). And of course, they charge a massive currency conversion fee to do so. Since I don't want or need these funds in CZK, my money is effectively trapped. Anyone else in the same boat?

Sam Parr (@thesamparr) reportedFormer CEO of PayPal + Inuit Bill Harris on Moneywise today. He broke down his portfolio and expenses (and what it was like working w/ Elon + thiel. - Net worth: ~$100m. Divorce cut it roughly in half - ~$50m in operating companies he's starting, ~$25m diversified securities, ~$25m bonds. No PE/hedge/alts - "absurd fees" - PayPal/eBay exit: personally "more than 20 million, less than 50" - Personal Capital: sold to Empower for $825m with $23b AUM; his take was north of $100m post-tax - New venture: ~$10m of his own money in - Total annual burn: ~$70-80k all in, property tax included ("well less than a hundred thousand bucks") - No mortgage (cottage paid off), no car, bikes to work - Owned a ton of stuff (houses, cars, planes). Sold it all because it took too much time to maintain.

Charles Steiner (@NickCrum111) reported@solari_the They say cash is king, and it does grant you more freedom than a credit card or a PayPal account. Trouble is . . . products are not always available locally to buy with cash . . and online purchasing betrays your privacy.

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.
