Richard Moreland (@Regiemental) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @stripe You are most welcome. I am so sorry that Paypal has let you down so badly, but hopefully Stripe will be more than an adequate replacement; so that your work doesn’t get interrupted again. PayPal needs to review its policies and they should think first before doing things.

Esco (@EscoJ27) reported@Saladinbraham Reminds me of PayPal. Growing business. Low pe/ forward pe. They are buying back shares. Cheapest multiple in years. Market just doesn’t care. Down/ sideways for years. Adobe can do the same.

Inuio🔪🦭┊coms soon.ᐟ.ᐟ (@1nuio0o) reportedi think im not gonna use paypal since i saw artists have problems a lot ;-; what payment method do you guys usually use tho 🤔🤔
-
X (@WagerWizard00) reported@George_Dubs_ @realroseceline I think the issue for PayPal on ads is people open PayPal/Venmo for a few seconds to pay for something they’ve already decided to buy, it's hard to capture someone's attention in that brief moment. Whereas people log onto Facebook/insta and doom scroll and can be inspired to buy

Sam Boboev (@samboboev) reportedBREAKING: @PayPal winds down venture arm as fintech giant restructures under new CEO PayPal is shuttering its 10-year-old venture team amid a broader corporate shakeup, according to five sources familiar with the matter. The fund’s headcount has shrunk from more than 10 in late 2025 to now only two, according to an archived version of the website for PayPal Ventures. Meanwhile, the page that listed the venture unit’s employees is no longer visible. PayPal is also exploring the sale of some of its positions on the secondary market and has hired the investment bank Jefferies to help with potential transactions, said one source familiar with the matter, who declined to be named while talking about private business dealings. PayPal established its venture arm in 2016, one year after eBay spun off the fintech into an independent company. Since then, PayPal Ventures, which invests off the fintech’s balance sheet, has backed more than 80 companies across three funds that total more than $850 million. Some of its more prominent bets include the fintech Plaid, the crypto custodian Anchorage Digital, and its exits include Bill com’s acquisition of the startup Divvy in 2021. The performance of the venture fund’s portfolio contributed 10 cents to PayPal’s $1.53 earnings per share in the fourth quarter of 2025, as opposed to subtracting four cents in 2024, according to a February earnings release.

Darijan Ducic (@darijan___) reportedI find the Elon hate so funny. People can’t compliment his work without the disclaimer “I don’t like him BUT…” Relax. The guy made $180M from PayPal and put THE WHOLE thing back into building the next thing. He made all of Tesla’s electric vehicle patents public allowing for competition. And his SpaceX IPO has made 4,400 employees millionaires who otherwise wouldn’t be. So if you’re angry about him becoming the world’s first trillionaire because ‘nobody should be that rich’ or you don’t like his opinions… Remember he’s probably working harder than most of us today not relaxing on a yacht somewhere. And if everyone shared the same opinions the world would be seriously dull. Let’s take the lessons and learn from his success instead of putting him down to make ourselves look good. You can learn from him without liking him or agreeing with him. I think it’s probably smart to do so.

Neville Thumbcatch (@NThumbcatch) reportedSerious question... Has PayPal ALWAYS been this ******* ****? Locked out of my account for 24 hours. Rang the helpline - 'Sorry, there's nothing we can do, we're having issues with our system.' A score of 1.3 on Trustpilot seems generous.

Simple American News 🗞️ (@TSimpleAmerican) reportedPayPal is shutting down its decade-old corporate venture arm, PayPal Ventures, as part of a broader restructuring push

SaveAmerica 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 (@Bessadeline21) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @PayPal isn't worth the trouble. IF you are successful in using them again, you will never be able to trust they won't do it again. There are so many other safe options. Count it as a blessing, and never think of them again.
-
H-Man🇺🇸 (@HarlanDaniel54) reported@libsoftiktok @PayPal She is 100% correct and they need to fix this SH*T quick!

Santino the Archangel (@Santino_1964) reported.@PayPal why would you do this? Terrible terrible look and business practice.

Orlando K Brown (@orlandokbrown) reported@eventbrite using your mobile app and paying via PayPal is literally impossible. You can't enter your PayPal details because the screen jumps up and down as and when the keyboard screen comes into and out at the same time, its basically playing wackamole with my fingers 😭

Alexis (@CANDYGRAM30) reported@codeofvets @PayPal @AskPayPal 1. For Financial and Payment DisputesIf you are having an issue with unauthorized transactions, billing, or locked accounts, file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. You can report them here Google with more info.

Jordan Keyser (@jordankeyser) reported@CHINNIE1380 @Youngjoeybaby Yeah I used PayPal, didn’t know it would be an issue!
-
Jean-Philippe Lebœuf (@jpleboeuf) reportedTried moving money out of PayPal Business. Even Gemini 3.5 Flash Extended couldn’t explain it after a long back-and-forth, even with full access to PayPal docs and Reddit. PayPal, your documentation and UX are broken: if an LLM cannot get it, regular users have zero chance.

Aldrich Theophilus (@aldrighty) reportedAnd with that being said. I only do paypal g&s other than that no. If you’re a real seller than you won’t have issues doing that

Faisal Hanif (@AatishE_Ishq) reported@umarsaif PayPal and payment is still an issue It can cross 6 billion easily with stripe or PayPal
-
Just Bob (@voip_91) reported@codeofvets @GretchenPSmith @PayPal How does PayPal even stay in business? With all of the problems people have faced with them especially the hacked accounts, and all of the fraudulent messages, it’s hard to believe that they have much of a customer base anymore. Haven’t used them in years, and never again.

Peinlicher Pimmelprimat Jonas Thunecke 🐵🐒😵💫🤪 (@beastiebearpig) reported@klose_alfred @Mad_Bear_80 @Mad_Bear_80 do NOT interact with this account! This dude is a scammer. he said the same to me and then he wanted by login data of my bank account, and as I refused to do that, he told me he can send money via paypal but I'd have to send him 50€ first.

Facecompapp (@TR2009) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal @AskPayPal paypal. hopefully someone in upper management will see this-oops unless he caused it. who knows. hope you can reconcile this error in judgment on pay pals part
-
AnAppealtoHeaven (@BamBamthatshit) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal I can't Imagine how or why here, and what happens to the funds? Can you at least retrieve them? I know, not the point but, screw them, if they can't fix the issue transfer to another platform. You have my prayers in this

Anglo (@AngloAlbion) reported@Colour_awr @_VGen_ @PayPal The fact people do this is terrible. I’m sorry I can’t help and that this has happened to you 😩 People are so scummy
