  @CaptainJawZ Isn't that also an easy fix? Just use a different name. My business name here isn't the same on PayPal, not exactly. But I mean this is a trial & error situation.. cause it's new. There's ways to get around it, we just have to find it O: But I understand the concern.

  @Judoteki @CrystalStance @Angelicarln_ Good point. I live in a state that doesn't require it. But that doesn't affect PayPal. They don't require it, regardless of what state you're in. Better to avoid *legal* trouble, though, if the state requires it.

  @AlityRay I did as a down payment because I wasnt expecting a massive amount after the fact. But once I sent 10 via PayPal then all of a sudden the actual price came out. It was stupid but I wanted to see if I was right about the tactic being used and I was.

  That’s exactly what I’m questioning, we got 100+ fintechs all solving the same problems with absolutely zero moat other than user base. Can you recreate Stripe, PayPal, Cashapp, or Revolut in a few weeks? No. Can we say the same about the new wave of fintechs or “neobanks” as some call them? Absolutely not. They’re all using the same providers and same wrapper structure, you can literally bootstrap a fintech because of accessible the tech has become.

  2. One big question when creating a PayPal shipping label is when it asks for the HS tax ID Not only must you figure out wtf that is, you must also figure out which type of tax it is from a drop down menu of unfamiliar acronyms (one of them is SSN) As in you, the non-American international online seller All before PayPal will give you a quote for shipping to that address

  @JustEatIE Reported a non-delivery to Just Eat. Support ignored repeated requests for proof of delivery and sent only template responses about a 48-hour rule, with no investigation into the issue. No evidence was provided. I had to escalate to PayPal, which refunded me.

  back in PayPal (which isn’t really PayPal but a sketchy integration) you’ve now entered all of the info for your order, and done the customs form. time to print the shipping label nope. not until you provide your credit card details to the app that is integrated with PayPal the government’s own app said duties are $0, but if the shipment is refused, it will be returned at my expense that page on this sketch website full of spelling errors looked like every page about applying for US immigration

  WATCH: PayPal CEO Enrique Lores unveils a $1.5B cost-savings plan and a broad 'AI-native' operational reset at the Bernstein Conference. $PYPL This aggressive strategy marks the first major move by the incoming chief executive, who took the helm just three months ago after running HP. The company is facing intense pressure from Wall Street to reverse a massive multi-year slowdown, with its stock price still sitting down roughly 80% from its pandemic-era peak. To jumpstart growth, the company is completely reorganizing its corporate structure into three separate divisions focused on core checkout, consumer financial services, and broader merchant payment platforms. The core of the turnaround hinges on cutting $1.5 billion in gross running costs over the next two to three years. Instead of relying solely on painful layoffs, the plan leans heavily on automating operations, with artificial intelligence expected to directly drive about 40% of the total savings by replacing manual backend processes and speeding up software coding. Management is trying to move away from decades-old legacy technology stacks to prevent more nimble, AI-powered checkout apps from stealing their long-standing market share. Investors are keeping a close watch on whether these software upgrades can successfully protect the company's core margins, which have taken a hit from lower-cost processing alternatives. The payments sector is shifting fast as automated commerce tools allow shoppers to buy goods directly inside messaging apps and AI interfaces without ever opening a digital wallet. By squeezing out $1.5 billion in waste, the company hopes to free up enough capital to heavily subsidize user rewards and win back the millions of active shoppers who drifted to rival checkout buttons over the last few quarters. $PYPL $SQ $AFRM $SOFI $HOOD $V $MA $AXP $COF $SPY $QQQ $XLF $ARKF

  @RM54846 We understand how upsetting this feels — being asked to pay for items you never received, even after filing a claim with PayPal that was decided in your favor, is frustrating and unfair. We'd like to take a closer look. Please send us a DM with the phone number and email address associated with your account, also a screenshot of the error message. We'll be looking forward to your response.

  $PYPL PayPal or PainPal as I like to call it, has fallen hard from fintech darling to struggling stock. It's now at ~$44, down 23% YTD and 36% over the past year, amid slowing growth and fierce competition. A rebound may be coming: calls are beating puts, and implied volatility is at a 52-week low. Bull case: 439 million accounts (incl. Venmo), shift to consumer banking, $1.5B cost cuts, and a trusted brand. Consensus target: $65. RBC has a $59 Buy.Classic contrarian setup for a big-name rebound in mid-2026. If I'm wrong... beers on me! 🍻

  This is for everyone’s awareness. I allowed one person to borrow my PayPal account strictly for paying PerthSanta photocard transactions, under a clear agreement that it would only be used for that purpose. However, I later discovered that my PayPal account was used for personal transactions without my knowledge or permission. On top of that, this person received money through my account without informing me. Because the funds were placed on hold, I only received ₱18,000 and immediately refunded it. She then claimed that the ₱18,000 should be transferred to GCash account which I did, and since my PayPal account was on hold, the remaining amount of ₱33,718.14 automatically released and sent back to the sender. Despite this, the sender still reported my PayPal account and falsely accused me of being a scammer in relation to concert ticket payments. I had absolutely no involvement in any of these transactions, as my account was used entirely without my consent. The sender also harassed me and threatened to sue me for crimes I did not know about and did not commit. This situation has caused me extreme stress and sleepless nights. As a result, I am now dealing with the consequences, handling refund disputes, and my PayPal account has been permanently shut down due to actions I did not commit. Let this serve as a serious warning: never allow anyone access to your financial accounts, even if you fully trust them. One wrong decision can lead to severe consequences, false accusations, and irreversible damage to your account and reputation.

  @SunsetShimmerO Ah, that's just the issue. Paypal, Payoneer and Wise all zone me out because of where I live, so it's no good. By proxy, this also eliminates Patreon and Fanbox. Boosty felt like a good option, until they decided to get all **** about what I draw 🥲

  When support is down & it’s business style meeting time, DSP is all “WE need to figure out what’s wrong” & “what are WE going to do.” After that money hits PayPal? “It’s MY money, and IM going to do whatever I want with it.”
