  @pnkplasticfangs cool, so what about giving people a damn other option to "accept donations" since we can't use paypal, bcs that's the whole issue, how are me or any other artist getting money from all over the world when there is like 1 big app that does that?

  The Visa trend check: payments volume accelerated 9% to 10%, cross-border +13% in World Cup summer. Flag it: that's borrowed demand, the same comp problem Coke, Hilton and PayPal flagged for Q3/Q4. The aggregate holds. The tournament comp decides what's real.

  Hey @PayPal, thanks for arbitrarily choosing the exact moment someone in my family has a life threatening emergency and needs money for medical treatment to decide that I can no longer send money to my wife. We've only used PayPal for a DECADE with no problem. I've been looking for an excuse to find a less exploitative money transfer service anyway. After 10 years, by all means, please go **** yourselves

  📄 $PYPL · EARNINGS HIGHLIGHTS - PayPal Holdings, Inc. PayPal raised FY2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance to ~$5.38 from "low-single digit decline to slightly positive" while Q2 non-GAAP EPS fell 1% YoY to $1.38. 📊 Rev $8.7B (+5%) · Adj. EPS $1.38 (-1% (non-GAAP)) · NI $1.1B · Op margin 16.4% (GAAP) 🟢 Beat Estimates · EPS $1.38 vs $1.28 est 🔷 Revenue $8.7B (+5% YoY), TPV $486.4B (+10% YoY) 🔷 Non-GAAP operating margin contracted 248 bps to 17.4% 🔷 GAAP operating income fell 5% to $1.4B; non-GAAP operating income fell 8% 🔷 FY2026 non-GAAP EPS guidance raised to ~$5.38 from prior low-single digit decline to slightly positive 🟡 Market reaction: Extended-hours trading shows PYPL at $55.30, down 1.37% vs the regular close of $56.07. The guidance raise is being overshadowed by margin compression, non-GAAP operating margin fell 248 bps, and the Q3 outlook for low-single digit EPS declines. 👀 Watch: Q3 2026 guidance calls for low-single digit decline in both GAAP and non-GAAP EPS, watch whether transformation costs compress margins further.

  @dearpetangel When I first started PayPal my funds were limited and held, but after they confirmed I was legit and not a scammer, after like.. a year? they got rid of the hold thing and I never had a problem since. (Used it for 12+ years)

  @NateTheLance @NamesakeGeodite definitely. This has been a problem for years and has sunk quite a few small businesses. They get away with it because despite fufilling all the conditions, paypal is not legally a bank and therefore does not fall under the same regulations. I occasionally use paypal just for processing but never leave money with them directly.

  @hafuma It's simple, don't use PayPal.. They have some weird ways of locking accounts. Even using new device to login can trigger them.

  @fsonic3 Dude 500$ Is it too much money? Clearly, the problem isn't the taxes, it's the power imbalance behind it. PayPal is a payment gateway; for foreigners like those in Latin America or Asia, it can be a way to diversify savings due to currency volatility, financial security, etc.

  Lastly, people need to stop panicking every time these posts come out per month. There is no decent, widely available alternative and there are many issues with PayPal, but it works fine if you typically don't do anything crazy. People risk their livelihood too easily.

  @NamesakeGeodite This isn't an issue when you get your account set up as a business account. You can still accept "friends and family" transactions without a PayPal fee but you get taxed on work so you file taxes. PayPal has all of the forms available at tax season.

  Erghhh so slow processing. It’s been more than 3h. I hate that I can’t buy eshop credit using paypal anymore just bc it’s not supported here like 🖕 It worked just fine years ago. Can’t even purchase using debit card. One of the downside of buying Switch games.

  @Zmeinir @ScruffyTurtles That said, I’ve never sent artwork via PayPal (out of pure ignorance); I send it by email or via a temporary link, especially if it involves N5FW or saucy illustration, since Google can be triggered just like PayPal and shut down your email account.

  Now that I posted that edited screenshot. business owners with permits, artists who use PayPal, and people with over 20k in their PayPal balances have started sharing that they've experienced the same thing. This proves that this was never just a "tax fraud" issue.

  ello world test Here's a full recap: 1. Boeing $BA posted Q2 revenue of $24.56 billion, up 8% year over year and above the $24.25 billion estimate. The company still swung to a GAAP net loss of $428 million, or 67 cents a share, as a $280 million charge tied to the Air Force One program pushed the adjusted loss to 76 cents a share versus the 30-cent loss analysts expected. Commercial deliveries climbed 14% to 171 planes, and free cash flow turned positive at $631 million versus a $200 million burn a year ago. Shares jumped 4.7% to $221.53. 2. Sherwin-Williams $SHW grew Q2 sales 7.5% to $6.79 billion and posted adjusted EPS of $3.70, topping estimates of $3.50 on $6.61 billion. The paint maker raised full-year adjusted EPS guidance to $11.80-$12.20, up from $11.43 in 2025. The stock surged 8.2% to $354.24. 3. PayPal $PYPL delivered Q2 revenue of $8.68 billion, up 5% year over year and ahead of the $8.47 billion estimate, with non-GAAP EPS of $1.38 versus $1.28 expected. Total payment volume rose 10% to $486.4 billion and transactions climbed 8% to 6.8 billion. Management raised full-year EPS guidance to $5.30-$5.40 from $5.15-$5.30. Shares gained 4.0% to $58.32. 4. Ford $F beat with adjusted EPS of $0.42 versus $0.35 expected on revenue of $48.3 billion, ahead of the $47.51 billion estimate even as revenue fell 4% year over year. Adjusted EBIT rose 17% to $2.5 billion, and Ford raised full-year adjusted EBIT guidance to $10-$11 billion and free cash flow guidance to $6-$7 billion. Shares gained nearly 2% in the regular session and jumped another 5% after hours to $15.71. 5. UPS hello world test of $1.76 versus $1.66 expected, and raised full-year revenue guidance to $91.2 billion. Shares still sank about 6.5% to $105.62 after management guided US Domestic average daily volume down mid-single digits and third-quarter operating margin to just 7%, with $891 million in transformation charges tied to the Driver Choice program weighing on the outlook.

  FULL RECAP OF ALL THE STOCK MARKET JOOSE FROM TODAY: Dow closed up 262 points (+0.51%) to 52,210.08. S&P 500 basically flat, +0.02% at 7,413.18. Nasdaq slipped 0.18% to 24,932.08 after being up almost 1% earlier in the day. Wild reversal. Why the reversal: US and Iran paused military strikes after 13 straight days of US attacks on Iran. Oil got crushed, Brent fell over 7% at the open, dropping from around $100 to near $92 a barrel. Relief rally hit stocks, bonds, and gold right out of the gate. Then chips ruined the party. $NVDA dropped almost 5%, back below $200, after WSJ reported Nvidia may guarantee up to $250 BILLION in financing for OpenAI's data center buildout. Circular financing fears are back. $AMD got hit even harder, down 8% on the same story. Memory stocks got demolished. $SNDK SanDisk crashed 12% after China's CXMT priced a Shanghai IPO that surged 466% on day one, pushing its valuation past $500 billion. $MU Micron fell 5% on the same fear, China's memory capacity is coming for their market share. SK Hynix dropped 8% and Samsung fell as much as 10% overseas. South Korea's Kospi got tagged for a 9% drop. This was a global story, not just a US one. $ASML fell more than 7%, dragging Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA down with it on the same China chip-breakthrough worries. The one big winner in tech: $AAPL closed at $336.91, up 1.17%, and is knocking on the door of a $5 trillion market cap. China approved Apple Intelligence to roll out there and options traders are loading up on calls into its July 30 earnings. Earnings after the bell: $CDNS Cadence beat with $2.11 EPS vs $2.05 expected, popped 4%. $WELL Welltower jumped 4% on an FFO beat and raised guidance. $UHS Universal Health dropped 4%+ after cutting its full year guidance. Econ data was a dud. June durable goods orders rose just 0.3% against expectations for a much bigger bounce (some calls were for 1.7-2.5%). Got completely overshadowed by the Iran and chip headlines. Fed's two day meeting kicked off today. No rate move expected Wednesday, it's fully priced as a hold. But with oil back in the inflation conversation, some traders are now betting on a hike as soon as September. New Fed chair Kevin Warsh is playing his cards close, only saying inflation is "too high." Tomorrow's a big one. UPS, Coca-Cola, Boeing, and PayPal report before the open. Visa, Ford, and KLA report after the close. Consumer confidence data drops at 10am. And this is just the appetizer, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple all report this week too.

  @goatcel Yeah you can with gcash but you're still gonna end up with the same problem cause it's also like PayPal. They should've just put the money in a physical bank or at the very least an online one
