    NOTHING HAPPENED AT PAYPAL $PYPL ON FRIDAY. THE STOCK STILL FELL 12.7%: PayPal PYPL at $53.66, -$7.81 / -12.71% from Thursday's $61.47 close. Short answer: a group that wanted to buy PayPal said never mind, and the price everyone had been paying walked out with them. Picture a trading card at recess. A kid offers you a big stack for yours. You say no, not enough. Now the whole table talks about your card as if it is worth that stack, and a few say even more, figuring the offer will get bigger. Then the kid shrugs and goes to lunch. Same card. Same picture on it. The number people say out loud goes back down. That is Friday, exactly. In mid-July two privately held companies - Stripe, which handles payments for online businesses, and Advent International, an investment firm that buys whole companies - offered $60.50 a share for all of PayPal, about $53B. The board said too low. Talks ran into August over a bigger number. Friday, Bloomberg reported the two had quit. Watch the price in between. On July 14, before anyone knew, the shares closed at $47.37. Thursday they closed at $61.47 - 97 cents ABOVE the $60.50 actually on the table. People were paying more than the buyers had offered, betting the offer would rise. Friday that bet came off, on 36.3M shares against about 12.1M on an ordinary day, roughly three times normal. Here is how big $7.81 is. PayPal expects to earn about $5.38 a share this year, once some one-off items are stripped out. The price fell by more than a full year of expected profit in one day, over a decision nobody at PayPal made. The business did not budge. Its July 28 report, for the three months ended June 30: net revenue - the money coming in the door - $8.68B, +5%; payments crossing its systems $486.4B, +10%; free cash flow, the cash left after running the business and buying its equipment, $1.78B. It bought back $6.0B of its own stock over the past year and pays $0.14 a share, next landing September 25. The Quality-Value Len5 is watching this one, eleventh on that list. That Len5 wants a strong business you are not overpaying for. Strong is the easy half: 439 million accounts and a payments network nobody rebuilds overnight. Friday made the other half cheaper, at roughly 10 times what PayPal says it will earn this year. What would firm it up is profit growing again - transaction profit, what PayPal keeps from each payment after the cost of moving it, rose 1% last quarter while the payments themselves rose 10%. That gap is the real argument, and no buyer was ever going to settle it. For a curious grown-up, that 1% is the line to follow at the next report, not the deal headlines. Friday took nothing away from PayPal. It took away somebody else's willingness to pay for it. Not investment advice.

    @robertromano @JonMalin 1. Go to PayPal Resolution Center, select the transaction, choose Report a Problem, then choose "Significantly Not as Described." Don't select "Unauthorized Activity," as PayPal will instantly deny the claim once they verify you authorized initial payment. Upload evidence. 1/2

    Claude 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.

    Night, Everyone!🚇 stable-2:native I've been digging into Stable's team and honestly? I'm conflicted. The CTO is Sam Kazemian who built Frax Finance to $1.4B. Huge credibility. Tether's CEO is advising. PayPal invested. But here's what nobody's talking about: the founder Joshua Harding quietly stepped down as CEO with zero public announcement. Brian Mehler took over silently. And apparently whales deposited USDT before the official window opened. That's insider-trading territory. They have a grant program but zero named dApps. I'm watching closely but not trusting blindly yet. Tag a friend who researches teams before investing.

    I was 333rd in the queue. Got kicked out. Went back in at 22900, waited till it down to let me back in. Put the wrong code in. Couldn't claim anywhere near my normal seats and ended up in the Riverbank, then it wouldn't submit payment and I had to switch to Paypal. FFS

    Here's another neat trick I do every year. If you have paypal, you can break down the entire cost into 4 payments. Meaning you pay 25% percent now while PayPal pays the merchant the entire amount and then you can make payments every 2 weeks. Doooo iiiittttt!!

    HOW TO CREATE AND SELL AN EBOOK IN NIGERIA You do not need to be a professional writer to create an ebook. You just need to know something useful that other people want to learn. Here is the full process from idea to income: - Step 1: Pick a topic that solves a specific problem: The more specific your topic, the better it sells. "How to Register a Business Name with CAC in 2026" will outsell "How to Start a Business in Nigeria" every time. Think about what people ask you frequently, what you know well, or what you spent time learning that others would pay to skip. - Step 2: Write it: Use Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Write in simple, clear language. It does not need to be long. A 20 to 50 page ebook that solves one specific problem is more valuable than a 200 page ebook that rambles. Write like you are explaining to a friend. - Step 3: Design the cover: Go to Canva (canva. com) and search for ebook cover templates. Pick one, add your title and name, and download it. Free and takes less than 10 minutes. - Step 4: Convert to PDF: Once your ebook is ready in Word or Google Docs, export it as a PDF. That is the format you will sell. Go to File, then Download, then PDF Document. - Step 5: Upload and sell on Selar Go to selar. co and create a free seller account. Click Add Product, choose Digital Product, upload your PDF, write a clear description, set your price in naira or dollars, and publish. Selar handles payment collection and delivers the ebook automatically to your buyer. Payouts land in your Nigerian bank account the next business day for naira sales. You can also sell on Gumroad (gumroad. com) which takes a flat 10 percent per sale and pays via PayPal. Most Nigerian sellers access their Gumroad earnings through Payoneer. - Step 6: Promote it Share your Selar link on your WhatsApp status, X, Instagram, and any group you belong to. Your first sale almost always comes from people who already know and trust you. Offer a launch discount to create urgency and ask a few people to share your link as affiliates. Selar has a built-in affiliate feature you can activate for free. You do not need a large following. Nigerian creators with 500 engaged WhatsApp contacts consistently earn more than those with 50,000 cold social media followers. Create once. Sell forever. Start today. Above all, love God.
