  @dedes016 @ZakariaMDv3 @KKaaRRii2 They used to send me a PayPal invoice but they won’t do anymore. Last time I had to join PayPal’s XOOM app and it lets you wire funds directly to their bank in India $$. It sounds complicated but not really. The sellers are super polite and can text in English no problem.

  What is going on here @PayPal ? CodeOfVets has been doing great work for ages! What on earth is the problem here? Surely you can sort it out - if not, a lot of needy people will be impacted!!

  @Saladinbraham Reminds me of PayPal. Growing business. Low pe/ forward pe. They are buying back shares. Cheapest multiple in years. Market just doesn’t care. Down/ sideways for years. Adobe can do the same.

  She wasn't alone. Across Southeast Asia we kept meeting the same person — different country, different job, same problem. A nurse in Manila sending money home to her family. A developer in Ho Chi Minh City waiting on a US client payment. A freelancer in Bangkok juggling Wise, PayPal, and a local bank just to get paid. All of them losing time. All of them losing money. Every single month.

  @Drebae_ Who’s this “we”? Some dude works his *** off, gives the world self driving carts, rockets, internet, PayPal, and more. Your cart full of steaks and **** I pay for when I can’t pay my own ******* bills is the problem.

  Fun fact. Now that Stipe/Ko-Fi changed the way they check business information (in the EU). I am now stuck in a loop of: document shows my POBox, it does not accept POBox as a valid address, give private address, address doesn’t match document so is not approved... I already have a rich past of having problems with Ko-Fi and these payment systems, so I am kind of just done trying. Soon (in like 40 days) you will only be able to pay there with the PayPal options (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo etc.). If you would ever want to tip me and are unable to use these payment options; you can also use the donation tab on digivt. store or the spicy blue site 💙

  This is extremely bullish for $PYPL. In fact, it is screaming bullish. BUT (a big but), the only issue is the price. Both fundamentals and technicals need to align for the stock to truly recover. Today, the market would rather pay 156x forward earnings for $MRVL than 8x forward earnings and 1x sales for PayPal. I don't make the rules, I just play the game.

  @Pasta_Eclipse Hi!! If you got it through PayPal it'll say it charged the full amount but it only actually took the $3! If it's showing up in your bank that it took the full amount tho that sometimes happens as a glitch, and you should get a refund any minute, it's the same thing uber does 1/2

  It’s interesting that fintech didn’t start out tight at women receiving money for nothing and calling it **********. Some of the established women still have no issue using Paypal or Stripe… but 0th3r$

  @PayPal Update: Product issue with a platform and bad HR with someone using the payment gateway, been working great since. 8/10 - not 10 because, take care of your own team being consistently professional across all régions if it's tech support messieurs.

  It's shocking how much hidden FX fees we're paying for currency conversions. This morning, Wise charged me €22.90 to convert €5,000 to USD = 0.46%. Despite the "cheaper FX" marketing, I decided to investigate what others charge for the same conversion. Many providers advertise "low fees" or "0% commission," but the reality is different when looking at the actual costs: - Wise: €22.90 (0.46%) - Revolut Standard above their free limit: ~€50 (1%) - Revolut on a weekend: ~€90 (1.8%) - My local bank: €75-100 (1.5-2%) - Western Union: ~€100 (2%) - HSBC retail: ~€175 (3.5%) - PayPal: ~€200-250 (4-5%) The best option charges 0.5%, while banks can take 2-5%. For €100K in cross-border transfers annually, this could mean €500 to €5,000 lost to fees. Some of these hidden FX fees from markups are buried in the displayed rates rather than being itemized separately. Here's the kicker: the conversion is just a database update - debit EUR, credit USD, all internal. Real money only moves when the provider rebalances its overall position. So a big chunk of what they charge isn't cost, it's margin. Could stablecoin rails fix that? They already do.

  CONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.
