Infinite Dejan 🔁 🇷🇸 (@3days2Kiev) reported@AskPayPal why are you guys the most thieving, scamming, disgusting subhuman ***** of a company in the world? Is it a company policy to scam people out of money with your broken dogshit of an app and customer service? Thanks for the feedback and I genuinely hope you burn and die

Dr. A (@DrlednakA) reported@RandianCapital Ride down to 3 or 2 probably 1 and split . Time will tell with this useless management team . Fate today will be same as PayPal yesterday even they beat the earning the guidance will be poor.

Mydia (@MydiaStardream) reportedWell, it's official. @mobbunny1 and @PayPal Have officially scammed me of $100 , as one is a chinese storefront that refuses to refund me following the rules of EU online shopping, and Paypal has "issues on their system" that prevent them from returning the stolen money.

surya (@narivaaaal) reportedlast week my paypal got hacked TWICE in TWO DAYS and I almost lost more than $2000 but I got the money back. except now paypal is trying to make me pay another $1200 bc getting the money returned to my bank account didn't fix my paypal balance. for some ******* reason
-
LORI (@fishbowl_ing) reportedI was also really mad about the exposure of my full name and personal information on the doc and I would kindly appreciate it if you took some down like the paypal recipts or at least censor the name better (because it's horribly censored I must say)

Believer (@GinaP1forChrist) reported@Venmo Your app is not allowing me to put in my deposits to verify my bank account, not allowing me to add a new debit card! Customer service is poor and could not help at all! Terrible! @paypal @venmo
-
Sunrise Capital (@Sunrisecap168) reported$PYPL Paypal back to using Braintree (PSP) for growth, with PSP growing 11% while branded grows at 2%. take-rate starts to fall, operating margins fall. Mixed shift still brings transaction margins down Recent reports state that mgmt is spinning off Venmo. I believe this is the right move. Paypal is likely a company in decline, with branded checkout now less competitive in this era with Apple Pay, Shop Pay etc that serves the same purpose. Stripping off assets, and selling them off, and returning capital to shareholders looks to be the best next steps.

Łimzø_221🧠🖤 (@S2kLimzo) reported@AskPayPal Hello, I have a problem with my PayPal account. I have money in my balance, but I cannot access or withdraw it because I am asked to verify my identity. I tried the face scan and also uploaded my ID document, but the verification always fails. Can you please help me

MiguelRamos (@iamholarks) reported@ifemmachu Pls is this not PayPal? Cos PayPal deduct a lot of fee from converting to pounds from dollars, I’m finding a way to make them not to convert again but not working
-
CosmicD (@CosmicD) reported@NoMooreMercy @gabefollower honestly, they should trace these orders .. the problem is that legit players like me aso have been clicking for 33 minutes for my paypal transaction to work. But maybe it's a certain pattern they can discover with the type of email adresses used, addresses... and if they find it they should brick the controllers by serial number. (but only if they find a very legit way of tracing them)
-
Johnny Chaos (@ccfxstudios) reportedSure except the part where stables have admin keys and they can be frozen or disabled with no notice. Crypto space is broken when they think that's what crypto is. Where is the freedom? Want to send dollars we have that, PayPal, venmo, and cash app. You can do all that from your phone as well.

🩸 🍇 Cambion Kami 🍇🩸 (@CambionKami) reported12 /12 I have already contacted Vgen & Paypal at this moment in time and am waiting for the reports to process. As for the ACCC I will only make the report to them if Paypal doesn't issue the refund. I have also mentioned to Vgen that I want my 5 star review changed at the very least. I have provided them many more screenshots than what this thread contains as evidence of Bunmires actions. I just hope they take me seriously and step up to help me through this. Worse case scenario if I don't get my money back, I want people to not fall victim to the same scam as I did. If Bunmire has done something similar to you, you can use the information provided in this thread to better help get your money back. She has over 100 completed commissions, me and CupieVT aren't the only victims there will be others.

Grok (@grok) reported@PUFFYBRAINn @avipat_ Kled is real: an iOS app that pays users to upload personal photos/videos for AI training data (connects to AI companies, payouts via PayPal/Venmo/Solana). Founder avipat_ posted the Nigeria removal due to ~95% fraud (black screens, duplicates, AI fakes, photoshopped passports like the attached image). Recent posts and app store updates confirm this. Not a lie—high fraud forced the temporary IP ban while they fix detection. Useful for legit users sharing real daily life content.

T Hausl (@barbiq2025) reported@Steam_Support I cannot buy the controller via paypal or any card. always says: There seems to have been an error initializing or updating your transaction. Please wait a minute and try again or contact support for assistance. what should I do ? #Steam
-
Franc Hudi (@franc_hudi) reported@askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.
-
HaveBlue77 (@HaveBlue77) reportedPayPal is probably wondering why people are not using their platform anymore. For me, I shut down my account after they started, to prohibit purchases on legal items I buy. I never any company tell me what I can and can’t buy. Stupid business model.

Mei ✨ (@drawsandthings) reported❌❌❌GOT7 BNS Scammer alert! ❌❌❌ @jeq5e Do not interact!! User pretends to be a buyer to obtain your Paypal information and then attempts to steal your login information!! Be careful, everyone. Wasted a lot of time with this scammer. 🙄

XIX Value ⚡ (@XIX_Value) reported$PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 results were released Stock down roughly 10% today despite revenue $8.35B (+7% YoY vs. $8.05B expected), adjusted EPS $1.34 against $1.27 consensus, TPV up 11% to $464B But management guided an adjusted EPS decline of roughly 9% YoY for next quarter Full-year guide was reiterated, not raised The structural picture keeps deteriorating: operating margin compressed 182 bps, GAAP net income fell 14%, active accounts were flat sequentially at 439M, and transactions per active account slipped 1% But for me the bull case isn't dead, Lores announced a $1.5B cost-reduction program and a three-segment reorganization that clearly sets up a possible Venmo spin-off Stock trades at 9x earnings with strong FCF and $1.5B in buybacks this quarter Thesis is about execution and corporate action, not growth I hold my initial position $PYPL

CryptoAK (@CryptobondAK) reported@DarrigoMelanie Why is it a mental illness? He is creating value, the man built paypal, tesla, space x, xai, boring, nural link, 100’s of thousands of jobs, countless lives changed, why is it a mental illness? He solves problems that others havent, the wealth is just a byproduct. Are you jealous? Do you feel inferior or insecure? Do you need to lay down ? Need a doctor ? Are you mentally okay ?

Frank Waterbury (@Sparky6566) reported@PayPal My account is restricted and I cannot access my funds due to a technical error preventing verification. I have contacted support multiple times, provided all documents, and the case was escalated to IT with no response. I have now filed a complaint with the CSSF.

0xfr0han (@tech_aarohan) reported@nobelprimal just use khalti; you can issue invoices via stripe; for paypal; the workaround is you just create account; dont link bank; let the money deposit; pay a small commission to middleman to retrieve in bulk
