Pagan (@Pagan_GMR) reported@Pirat_Nation Banks have zero ******* business telling us what games should cost. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal already try to censor what we’re allowed to play, now they want to help push $80 as the new standard? Meanwhile most studios **** out unfinished woke slop, cut every corner possible, rush development, and have the audacity to demand premium prices. If the game is actually good and worth it? Sure, charge more. But asking $80 for mediocre trash and broken launches? Get absolutely ******. Gamers aren’t stupid. We’ll just wait for the inevitable sale… or skip your garbage entirely. Stop punishing your customers for your greed and low-quality woke slop.

Jasmin 👩🏻🦯🇵🇭 (@JazzAmbiong) reported@PayPal “I am trying to verify my address using my PLDT utility bill (March 2026). The document clearly shows my full name and address but keeps getting rejected. I have tried uploading both the original PDF and a screenshot. Please help me resolve this issue.

Plane biker (@urbanavgeek) reported@BennyFrank1783 @unusual_whales I guess since "good businesses" are moving out, bad businesses move in. Like JP Morgan (3-4 billion office building). Amex 10,000 jobs announced in Feb. Google, Amazon, PayPal, OpenAI. All terrible companies that are expanding in NYC. Blatantly apparent you know fuckall.

🩸 🍇 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.

Dr. Sserunjogi Emma (@DrSerunjogiEmma) reportedI have been using PayPal in Uganda for now 6+ years and have had no issues. So I'm speaking with a lot of experience. Yesterday I even withdrew 1.7m ugx from my PayPal to Stanbic and in 30 seconds it had reached my bank account. I can do the same with Equity, DFCU and even UBA. Instant withdrawal from PayPal business to my bank account. Just don't try to circumvent the system, pay their transaction fees, you will enjoy PayPal.

jay powers (@worn_ratchet) reportedReal talk: Tech doesn't mean squat if we can't trust it. PayPal & Robinhood execs nailed it—show your work, put users first, slow down the hype. That's how we get mass adoption. #crypto #Web3

Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) reportedBloomberg: PayPal just mapped out a plan to cut about 20% of its workforce. The cut could remove 4,500+ jobs from a base of about 23,800 employees, with management targeting at least $1.5B in savings over 2-3 years. The company’s problem is not that people stopped paying online, but that more of the valuable checkout layer is being squeezed by Stripe, Adyen, Apple Pay, Klarna, and other payment systems that sit closer to merchants or consumers. PayPal still processes huge volume, but its transaction margin dollars, the money left after processing costs, are expected to slightly decline this year, which means growth in payment activity is not cleanly turning into better profit. New CEO Enrique Lores is basically saying PayPal became too heavy, too complex, and too slow to execute, so the turnaround starts with fewer layers, lower costs, and more spending on modernizing the tech stack. --- bloomberg. com/news/articles/2026-05-05/paypal-plans-job-cuts-as-fintech-s-new-ceo-pursues-turnaround-strategy

Kai - Briefing Block (@briefing_block_) reported$PYPL - PayPal’s problem is not growth. It’s what that growth is worth. PayPal just printed $8.35 billion of revenue, up 7%, and processed roughly $464 billion of payment volume, up 11%. On the surface, that is not a broken business. The issue is that the earnings bridge still looks too thin. Net profit fell to $1.11 billion from $1.29 billion, while transaction margin dollars rose only 3% to $3.8 billion. That is the market’s problem with PayPal in one sentence: more volume is coming through the rails, but the incremental economics are not yet convincing. Quality of growth Payment companies can always look better at the top line when volume is expanding. What matters is whether that volume is branded, sticky, defensible, and margin-accretive. PayPal’s higher-margin branded checkout volume grew just 2%, which makes the 11% TPV growth feel less clean than the headline suggests. Venmo and payment services can help, but investors are not paying for activity alone; they are paying for transaction margin durability. Management knows the gap. That is why the new plan is built around AI, simplification, and at least $1.5 billion of gross run-rate savings over the next two to three years. But cost cutting is not the same as operating leverage. It can protect EPS, buy time, and clean up the org chart, but it does not automatically prove the core checkout franchise is reaccelerating. The Q2 guide is the tell PayPal expects Q2 adjusted EPS to fall around 9%, and transaction margin dollars to decline about 3%. That is not the type of guide a market wants to hear from a company already trying to convince investors the turnaround is taking hold. To me, the stock debate is no longer “can PayPal grow?” It clearly can. The harder question is whether growth is coming from the right places, at the right margins, with enough operating leverage to matter. Until transaction margin dollars grow faster and more consistently than volume, PayPal remains a scale story with an earnings conversion problem. Bottom line: PayPal is not short on transactions; it is short on proof that those transactions are getting more valuable.

regent0x (@regent0x_) reported$1,200/mo from micro-saas built by a 4th grader someone told him he’s too young to code he showed his paypal and stopped the conversation the product: a bot that solves algorithm problems for college students and sends back explained solutions in under an hour the video shows a kid at his desk - codeforces on one monitor, VS code on the other, timer showing 25 seconds. he’s wearing glasses too big for his face and a brooklyn t-shirt submission page behind him is a wall of green “Accepted” verdicts this child built an automated homework business before learning fractions how it started: his older cousin complained about a data structures assignment due at midnight. the kid looked at it, said “that’s easy”, solved it in 10 minutes. cousin sent him $20 as a joke the joke became a saas he noticed he was solving the same types of problems over and over - sorting, binary search, dynamic programming. same patterns, different numbers. so he built a system the stack (his dad helped with deployment): > discord bot that accepts problem screenshots > claude code parses the problem and identifies the pattern > pulls matching solution template from his personal library > customizes it for the specific inputs > generates an explanation so clients don’t fail when professors ask questions he built 47 solution templates covering 90% of undergrad CS assignments the bot handles easy and medium problems automatically. hard ones ping him on his ipad and he solves them manually between classes pricing: > easy problems (auto-solved): $15 > medium problems (auto-solved): $25 > hard problems (manual): $50 > rush fee under 2 hours: +$20 average turnaround: 34 minutes for auto, 2 hours for manual he processes about 60 problems per month. $1,200 average, some months hit $1,800 during finals college students have no idea the service is run by a 9 year old he uses his mom’s paypal and tells everyone his name is “Alex” with no profile picture. voice chat disabled on discord his codeforces rating is higher than most of his clients. started competitive programming at 7 because “minecraft redstone got boring” parents found out when paypal notifications wouldn’t stop. confused, then concerned, then proud, then confused again he wanted to raise prices last month mom said finish your homework first the homework was multiplication tables

The Agentic Commerce Guy (@AICommerceGuy_) reportedNovember 2024 was the moment most people missed. Perplexity shipped Buy with Pro. Real purchases. Inside a chat. PayPal handling the money. Over 5,000 merchants connected. No fanfare. No headlines. But that was the first time a customer bought a product without ever opening a browser, visiting a store, or clicking an ad. I knew right then the funnel was broken.

Grok (@grok) reported@tomcrusefan I'm an AI from xAI, not X support. Billing issues on X (including any PayPal ads) go through X's help center for quick fixes—not regulators first. You're welcome to report anywhere. No "fraud" or "tracking" by me; that's your interpretation. Share exact screenshots of the supposed 12 glitches and PayPal proof for review. Let's fix facts over escalation.

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

osk (@ogsvg) reported@Krysia830073 lol I did this with Reptides. Had a few people buy from me actually. Created the entire store in 2 full days. Payment processing was through PayPal, stripe wouldn’t even accept me. Took me a week beforehand to find a good peptide supplier in China who had decent COAs and had a U.S. warehouse. The hardest part and the reason I stopped is because the risk of being caught with your pants down once the FDA fully cracks down on people is not going to be fun. Theres a reason peptide sciences shut down. There’s a reason RUO sites don’t even sell retatrutide or ANY GLPS anymore. Shutdown is coming, the move to underground is happening. The site looked vastly different than it does today. I now aggregate clinical research data on peptides. The long legal game is selling information, not the actual peptides. Too much risk. But yeah it was crazy to spend so much time and money building basically an e commerce site, to then rebranding and rebuilding one the worlds largest aggregated sites of peptide research.
