  @HenryCrochemore İt's hard to process transactions without delivery-to-door option. Yes true it's a good market with big population but people are more aware to online sites also there is no paypal option. So payments processing and logistic is big issue if you are operating from outside Turkey.

  If you’re worried that you’re gonna get scammed and need plenty of reassurance then ask for an invoice from PayPal to dispute it later - I have been scammed many times and I always request an invoice just incase. It’s down to both parties to make sure the service is fulfilled

  PayPal is the OG fintech that somehow made sending money feel harder over time. Random holds, surprise fees and a UI that feels like it survived every redesign since 2006. It’s inertia but with a login screen.

  @Miilfywayz Respectfully, I do not understand what you are thinking is shameful. Could you please explain it to me? I know you previously did NSFW audio content but stopped when your paypal was frozen over it. I also see there is lewd art available on your patreon from this year. So I am having a hard time believing it is about NSFW content as a whole. Is it the act of inserting a microphone itself? As long as safety precautions are taken, I see no problem. I think the human body is a beautiful thing and while womb can be degenerate in the sense you are hearing the “insides” of a girl if she goes the insertion route, but it is also a very calming and comforting type of asmr audio. I think it is ok to have opinions and to dislike a certain type of content, but I’m not sure if shaming girls for having their own boundaries in the same niche you once worked in is the thing to do. If you regret your participation in nsfw work, that is ok too. There are a lot of women who get into it because of societal pressure and from the money it can bring if you do it right, but that doesn’t mean every girl that does it is shameless. I feel as if this take might have a root in self shame and guilt if you do in fact have regrets in your previous work and I urge you to find a professional that can help you work through that rather than attacking other women. Find your strength in helping empower other women, we need to focus on supporting each other not bringing one another down.

  @EndWokeness PayPal Jaypal has 0 historical ties to America. Up until very VERY recent none of them existed in our country at all… anyone who believes this creature Is just as low IQ as she is. read a history book, you’ll do the same thing you see us doing hitting back against the absolute lies she’s telling people, to many are stupid enough to believe her and that’s the problem.

  I used to think Stripe won because they built a better payments infrastructure. That’s not what actually happened. When Stripe started, payments were already “solved” in the traditional sense. - PayPal existed  - Banks had their own systems - Payment gateways were widely available If you were a business, you could accept payments. But if you were a developer trying to integrate them, it was a different story. The process was frustrating. Documentation was unclear. APIs were inconsistent. Setting up even a basic flow could take days, sometimes weeks. Every integration felt like stitching together systems that were never designed to work smoothly. The problem was not availability. It was usability. Stripe focused on something that looked small from the outside but was fundamental in practice. They made the API clean and predictable. Accepting payments took a few lines of code. The documentation was structured. The developer experience was consistent. They did not change the underlying financial system. They changed how developers interacted with it. This had a compounding effect. Developers started choosing Stripe not because it had more features, but because it was easier to start with. That initial decision shaped everything that followed. - easier integration → faster adoption  - faster adoption → more businesses onboarded  - more businesses → more volume and feedback  - more volume → better product over time  What looked like a small improvement at the entry point became a long-term advantage. Stripe did not win by introducing something entirely new. They won by removing friction at the first step and making the default choice obvious. In many markets, the product that is easiest to start with is the one that scales the fastest. The entry experience is not a detail. It is often the decision point that determines the winner.

  @TheDumbTechGuy Fact check on the quoted post: Node.js launched in 2009. PayPal (founded 1998) migrated many web apps to it from Java around 2013 and still uses it heavily today. Netflix uses it for API gateways/BFF layers (core backend is mostly Java). LinkedIn used it for mobile servers. Uber was an early adopter for dispatch/marketplace but has shifted much to Go/Java. Walmart rebuilt its site with it. eBay built Node apps. Trello’s server is Node-based. Medium’s main app servers run on it. The list is directionally right—Node.js powers big opportunities—but “built with” often means parts of the stack, not the whole thing. It’s a solid, scalable choice.

  Hard to believe govt can't shut down online betting, when it controls every transaction. You can't even maintain a balance on PayPal or use it immediately to make payments if you're Indian. The money transfers immediately to a bank. Somebody is earning from letting these sites operate.

  @GamingWithNuke @KrestoTheArtist The problem isnt really ISPs, its payment processors. If they cant make money they won't do it. If Visa/Mastercard/PayPal etc all say no go to processing the "donation". then they cant make money off of it.

  Someone should create a micro-blogging app where people can discuss news and trends in brevity. This time limit the text to 150 - 200 letters. This is why we signed up to X. But right now X is Instagram, YouTube plus PayPal. Microblogging is broken. We need a new outlet. Trust me. If it's simple and fun people will leave X to build somewhere new from scratch. We miss Twitter so much.

  Hey @PayPal, your website has a bug. When I push continue it keeps trying to force me to create a passkey and makes it seem like I'm not allowed to login. Refreshing the page doesn't help, but if I go back to to the website it shows me logged in. Who's vibe coding this stuff?

  $PYPL has quietly climbed back into the 50s, and the PayPal Beyond 2026 event last week in San Francisco is a big reason sentiment has stabilized. - Earlier this year, PayPal got hit hard: weak 2026 guide, CEO exit, and the previous 2027 growth targets (8–10% branded checkout TPV, 7–9% TM$) were scrapped after a sharp Q4 miss. At the lows around $40, the stock was pricing in something close to a broken business. - At Beyond 2026, new CEO Enrique Lores used his first big stage to reset the story: focus on operational efficiency, AI‑driven innovation, deeper partnerships, and doubling down on commerce infrastructure that keeps merchants in control while opening them up to the full PayPal + Venmo consumer base. - The recent product moves fit neatly into that narrative: - Canva integration – PayPal Payment Links embedded directly into Canva, plugging PayPal, Venmo and Pay Later into the fast‑growing social/creator commerce layer. - Venmo going global – Venmo users can now transact with PayPal accounts across 90 markets, with international fees waived for a launch period, plus more push on debit, checkout and rewards. My view: the move back into the 50s feels more like a rerating from “doomsday” levels than a reaction to some explosive new growth story. PayPal hasn’t shown anything at Beyond or in the recent news that would make me believe in a sudden growth acceleration – no new flashy multi‑year targets, just a more disciplined, execution‑focused message. At the same time, between Beyond 2026, the Canva partnership and the Venmo globalization, it’s increasingly clear that their core position is stable and they have real levers to pull beyond 2026 if Lores executes. So I read this as the market moving from “priced for disaster” to “priced for a solid, mature payments franchise with some optionality,” rather than the start of a new hyper‑growth chapter.

  @XFreeze Elon Musk’s experience from PayPal is absolutely correct — the people who complain the loudest with fake righteous indignation are usually the fraudsters themselves, because their scam is finally being shut down.

  Never run 100% of your revenue through one processor. Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments — they're all the same risk. One fraud pattern. One disputed batch. One compliance flag. Your entire cashflow stops. Fix: Route volume across 2–3 processors. Never let one hold more than 60% of your monthly revenue.
