  @vexmlk @SakeTransRights @PayPal It’s against their ToS to… spend your money how you please? This has gone too far at this point. We need to burn the internet back down to its roots or something.

  Onboarding new tech is best dome seamlessly - as few actions as possible, and fewer "decisions". Same goes for RWAs, tokenization, Web 3.0, whatever words we use. "Click here for a 50% discount on your remittance fee with our new high-speed program." One-click. As a parallel, let's look at mobile APIs. 50% of the people using them probably never heard the term. 99% of users don't even have a basic technical understanding of what coding language to use for an efficient secure application programming interfaces. That doesn't stop an estimated 4-6 million people from using mobile APIs regularly. (Sign in with Google/Apple, Pay with PayPal)

  @CashApp What does it do? I can't order one because you guys shut me down for transactions you allowed to FanDuel without giving me any warning whatsoever and you won't give me a second chance. Millions of dollars worth of transactions since 2014. You lost a huge customer to PayPal now.

  @silverybarbs Oh completely understandable, but any time I see any paypal issue like this I gotta reiterate it in the hopes SOMEONE reading it might listen and change how they're using Paypal, so it doesn't happen to them going forward.

  @memeticsisyphus I will out myself as a crypto bro momentarily. It's a bit of wishful thinking and meme magic based on the fact that we all know "real" money is fake and gay. The dollar was devalued many times over in the last few decades, and some people want a solution. For Bitcoin (and there are a LOT of crypto with different value propositions), the comparison to "digital gold" is common, but it's more of a return to the origin of money: It's a digital IOU. If we all agree to accept each other's digital IOU, then it's indistinguishable from money. Bitcoin has the added benefit (arguably) of effectively being uncontrollable, or at least difficult to control (decentralization). You don't need a bank or payment processor or any other middlemen, you can just give it to people. Many people have no problem with middlemen, society works quite well with them and they can be a safety net, but if you've ever run afoul of something like PayPal and had all the assets they were managing FOR you frozen or stolen, you start thinking "we need to get rid of these people". What turns a lot of people off of crypto, just as many or more as are turned on by it, is the speculative nature. This is just the nature of the financial beast. Should Bitcoin ever establish an actual foothold in "the real world", its value fluctuations would become substantially more limited.

  Congratulations on HQ (Tate Hotel), young lads. It's beyond time to show up or shut up @Cobratate @TateTheTalisman . Infinite Money Glitch, my PayPal. In fact, pay @yacineMTB first. Otherwise, I'm going to assume you're working for the Away Team and *actually* are lying *****.

  $PYPL is holding support. which is great except it's still below resistance and the structure says lower prices. so basically paypal is doing what a corrective bounce does before the next leg down. support holding doesn't change the script. it just means the scene's playing out on schedule. wave 3 waiting. $41 is the line.

  I don’t know who’s playing games for America. I don’t know who owns PayPal, but I’m calling Attorney General and it’s not money. I’m after it’s your ******* freedom. If it’s somebody outside of the United States, I don’t have a problem joining the military and blowing them off the map America is in a terrible place and until people stand up and let this injustice end then we are going to continue to fall.

  @AskPayPal I deleted my previous account as i needed to change the country. Now when I try to sign up, it says the account with the email id exists. Neither password works nor Forgot Password. Something went wrong pops up. I can even ask the Assistant since I need to login.

  @MohamedAli49071 @SONOIYA47 The problem with Kenyans is distancing yourself from a problem because it hasn't happened to you (YET). Hao watu wote complaining about PayPal cannot be wrong. As a PayPal user, join in the discussion ask for accountability so that it never happens to you.

  PayPal yesterday decided that an online hobby store I buy from all the time was somehow a problem and refused the transaction. I have no idea why.

  This is probably the last time i'll be able to get a payout from Itch, as i've been kicked off payoneer and paypal goes out of their way to hunt down nsfw artists. So its possible that after this i'll simply shut down my itch page. (game might make it to steam one day tho)

  @stevehunsaker1 I mean it's been a minute since I've paid a VA overseas but payoneer and PayPal etc were terrible too. Wise has improved on that but ACH is still slow and expensive compared to stables Provided you understand the tech it's pretty seamless and instant with lower fees.

  @Larryisoverit @vexmlk @PayPal not at all, i'm all for people spreading awareness of the issue, paypal is NOT The payment provider to use if you do NSFW stuff, they don't want you as a customer. like it or not, it is their right to do that.

  @HatedMoats @AlphaCapital82 Problem is PayPal was a very poorly run business, Novo isn’t it’s just suffering some sort of bizarre narrative cancer. everything negative is discounted at 80% probability, everything positive is discounted at 20% probability. Sentiment is taking VERY long to shift.

  @amerix PayPal is the best and most secure payment platform...I've been using PayPal since 2014 without any issues. Follow their policies, keep your account compliant, and there's usually no reason for it to be limited or frozen

  Leysan Gilfanova | CFO Advisory (@CFOAnalysis) reported 54 minutes ago

  PayPal's revenue has grown every year for the last decade, but the stock is down 86% from its peak. Last year, PayPal moved a record $1.79 trillion in payments. Operating income hit $6 billion. The market only values the entire company at $40 billion. Compared to its peak in 2021, it was worth $360 billion. How does a business grow every year and lose this much value? In early 2021, CEO Dan Schulman told investors PayPal would have 750 million users by 2025. But PayPal ended 2025 at only 439 million — barely changed from 2021. The flat user count is half the story. The other half is where the revenue growth actually came from. PayPal makes money two ways. One is the PayPal and Venmo button. When a customer clicks it at checkout, PayPal earns a high fee on the transaction. The other is running credit card payments behind the scenes for big merchants who use their own checkout. When a customer clicks Apple Pay or Shop Pay there, PayPal often still processes the payment underneath. The fee on that work is much smaller. Customers used to click the PayPal button at checkout. Increasingly, they click Apple Pay or Shop Pay first. In Q1 2026: → PayPal button: +2% → Behind-the-scenes processing: +11% PayPal kept about two cents less of every dollar it earned over the past year. On the company's scale, that's hundreds of millions in lost profit. This is what Alex Chriss was hired to fix. He took over as CEO in September 2023, cut costs, monetized Venmo, walked away from unprofitable processing deals. In February 2026, the board replaced him with their own chairman — Enrique Lores, a 30-year HP veteran who used to run printers and PCs. Whether the new CEO can fix it is the open question. That's the lesson: The biggest margins come from being the brand customers reach for. When they reach for someone else, the same work pays much less. 🔔 I'm Leysan, CFO who breaks down the economics behind tech companies every single week.
