  if you’re an artist that takes 6+ months on a triple digit priced commission, we don’t issue chargebacks around here this is 2026, your PayPal got your government name and address on it, we are outside your house buddy

  @Mokona_VT I got a notification from PayPal that they were delivered I didn't even know they were shipped at all. But now I have a problem with mine watching me sleep after eating on my Gumbies just normal gumbies.

  @solari_the They say cash is king, and it does grant you more freedom than a credit card or a PayPal account. Trouble is . . . products are not always available locally to buy with cash . . and online purchasing betrays your privacy.

  @DrewPavlou Perhaps you could set up something simple like a buy me a coffee or paypal me link so people can support you directly. The Flynn issue seems hopeless for now. I hope that can eventually get resolves but seems you need to have a way for people to support you in general:

  @AskPayPal I cannot log in to my account. It is asking me to reset the password. I'm traveling, so I can't text, but I can email, and I never get the email. I tried the security question, and I get "There is a problem, try later." I cannot even contact you!!!

  Former CEO of PayPal + Inuit Bill Harris on Moneywise today. He broke down his portfolio and expenses (and what it was like working w/ Elon + thiel. - Net worth: ~$100m. Divorce cut it roughly in half - ~$50m in operating companies he's starting, ~$25m diversified securities, ~$25m bonds. No PE/hedge/alts - "absurd fees" - PayPal/eBay exit: personally "more than 20 million, less than 50" - Personal Capital: sold to Empower for $825m with $23b AUM; his take was north of $100m post-tax - New venture: ~$10m of his own money in - Total annual burn: ~$70-80k all in, property tax included ("well less than a hundred thousand bucks") - No mortgage (cottage paid off), no car, bikes to work - Owned a ton of stuff (houses, cars, planes). Sold it all because it took too much time to maintain.

  @paypal - leaving another message to be lost in wilderness of the internet. Had to do a chargeback for what seems to be a clear item not received issue. Never open these type of cases, but both @eBay and @paypal denied a simple case. Both their customer services are subpar.

  $PYPL: Acquisition hopes dashed; retail investors debate "value trap" vs. "undeserved sell-off." Review of the previous trading session: PYPL plunged 12.7% last Friday, ranking among the worst performers on the Nasdaq and S&P 500. Capital that had flowed in based on acquisition rumors during the previous quarter exited en masse; discussions on X shifted from "how much would Stripe pay?" to "what is PayPal actually worth as a standalone business?" (Source: Reuters) Key Event: Stripe and Advent reportedly abandoned plans to acquire PayPal; the prior offer was around $60.50 per share (implying a valuation of ~$53 billion), but negotiations collapsed due to disagreements over pricing, financing, and regulatory issues. Bullish Views: PayPal’s valuation is already significantly lower than that of most payment industry peers; Venmo, Checkout, and its crypto business still hold value for potential spin-offs. The new CEO is driving business restructuring and cost controls, meaning future earnings recovery need not rely solely on acquisitions. The current valuation may still attract interest from other private equity firms or payment companies. Bearish Views: The recent rally was driven primarily by M&A premiums; following the deal's collapse, the stock must be repriced based on fundamentals. PayPal’s branded checkout market share continues to be squeezed by competitors like Apple Pay and Shop Pay. Without a rebound in revenue growth, the low valuation could persist; one cannot assume a market bottom simply because the stock has fallen sharply. Trading Strategy: Avoid trying to catch a rebound immediately after the initial sharp drop; first, observe whether the price stabilizes in the $52–$54 range. A recovery above $57–$58 is required to confirm that panic selling has been absorbed; until then, it is better to watch from the sidelines rather than taking a heavy position in hopes of another buyer emerging.

  I was invited to a server on Discord that I knew absolutely nothing about. The server is called 'Eboost', and it sells things like Discord Nitro, skins and in-game items. I’ve already purchased a one-year subscription to Discord Nitro, and as all payments are made via PayPal, it’s a server I have no use for. However, one day, the Eboost server was suddenly reported to Discord on suspicion of ‘fraud’, and my account was temporarily suspended simply because I had inadvertently joined that server. How am I to be compensated for the damage caused—such as the suspension and the flags attached to my account—by the server owner’s negligence on a server where I wasn’t even active? I’ve lodged an appeal, but Discord simply keeps repeating the same 'AI-automated-macro' response. And this isn’t the first time this has happened. Are people really expected to use Discord whilst factoring in the probability that a server owner might cause problems? It’s utterly unfair. 😡😡 @discord @discord_support @DiscordBuild

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  @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

  Does she even understand what PayPal does? What restructuring is. Who are the clients? Why is their business down? Or is it a requirement that you have to be completely illogical to be a Modi and BJP basher.

  @James_Jordan @bet365 Oops can’t * (not can in my previous tweet). Yeah the withdrawal likely has to go back to the manual card entered. Fix = deposit with Apple Pay again then withdraw (will force it back to Apple pay). Or just use PayPal for $5 and then you can withdraw back to PayPal.
