  @PokemonRestocks I am having hard time adding the payment method. Yesterday I don't understand why would not let me enter the drawing and was asking for a payment method. I always used PayPal. I tried to cancel all amd add a new CC but does not work. Anyone had this issue?

  @Aerea_caeles No, actually I don't have that message, but I know who it is because of the comms. The biggest problem that theme from the PayPal and socialmedia theft (which I never got back my PayPal, because according to PayPal I am not me) is that person blocked many people on my social media and deleted entire chats, in addition to changing the passwords and emails. So I didn't even get the full conversations and when I recovered my accounts, I could never contact them again on Twitter because I never found them to explain what happened, and they never responded to me on Instagram either. Obviously, I contacted as many people as I could.

  Crap, do I HAVE to submit some kind of photo ID to get my new Stripe/Kofi account to work? I said no to that for two whole years and my old Paypal account got shut down last week.

  @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.

  @Ronaldo7trades @khoiuna They should imo be focusing on improving branded checkout. That’s their main issue rn. Most analysts main issue with PayPal is on branded checkout

  NOTHING HAPPENED AT PAYPAL $PYPL ON FRIDAY. THE STOCK STILL FELL 12.7%: PayPal PYPL at $53.66, -$7.81 / -12.71% from Thursday's $61.47 close. Short answer: a group that wanted to buy PayPal said never mind, and the price everyone had been paying walked out with them. Picture a trading card at recess. A kid offers you a big stack for yours. You say no, not enough. Now the whole table talks about your card as if it is worth that stack, and a few say even more, figuring the offer will get bigger. Then the kid shrugs and goes to lunch. Same card. Same picture on it. The number people say out loud goes back down. That is Friday, exactly. In mid-July two privately held companies - Stripe, which handles payments for online businesses, and Advent International, an investment firm that buys whole companies - offered $60.50 a share for all of PayPal, about $53B. The board said too low. Talks ran into August over a bigger number. Friday, Bloomberg reported the two had quit. Watch the price in between. On July 14, before anyone knew, the shares closed at $47.37. Thursday they closed at $61.47 - 97 cents ABOVE the $60.50 actually on the table. People were paying more than the buyers had offered, betting the offer would rise. Friday that bet came off, on 36.3M shares against about 12.1M on an ordinary day, roughly three times normal. Here is how big $7.81 is. PayPal expects to earn about $5.38 a share this year, once some one-off items are stripped out. The price fell by more than a full year of expected profit in one day, over a decision nobody at PayPal made. The business did not budge. Its July 28 report, for the three months ended June 30: net revenue - the money coming in the door - $8.68B, +5%; payments crossing its systems $486.4B, +10%; free cash flow, the cash left after running the business and buying its equipment, $1.78B. It bought back $6.0B of its own stock over the past year and pays $0.14 a share, next landing September 25. The Quality-Value Len5 is watching this one, eleventh on that list. That Len5 wants a strong business you are not overpaying for. Strong is the easy half: 439 million accounts and a payments network nobody rebuilds overnight. Friday made the other half cheaper, at roughly 10 times what PayPal says it will earn this year. What would firm it up is profit growing again - transaction profit, what PayPal keeps from each payment after the cost of moving it, rose 1% last quarter while the payments themselves rose 10%. That gap is the real argument, and no buyer was ever going to settle it. For a curious grown-up, that 1% is the line to follow at the next report, not the deal headlines. Friday took nothing away from PayPal. It took away somebody else's willingness to pay for it. Not investment advice.

  Claude just paid for itself today... Found a bug in my store. A "30% off your first year" code was taking 30% off every year, forever. Claude found 2 other codes had the same problem. Gave Claude read access to my WP install over SSH plus temporary Stripe and PayPal keys. It found all affected subscriptions across both processors, cross-checked what the gateways were actually billing against what my database thought, and fixed each one. $1,782/year recovered. About 30 minutes once I knew something was wrong. Doing that by hand across two payment processors would have eaten my week.

  @ShoeQueen0318 @ThatsAllAreanna Sadly wokesky isn't doing ****. Been doing the same. We need to hit her where it matters the most, either her linktree or her PayPal/venmo. Won't they shut PayPal down if there's too many charge backs?

  @stphnmaher It’s gonna be a little more involved than you think- If Canada’s goal is true technological independence from the United States, a Canadian sovereign cloud is only the first piece of an enormous puzzle: Canada would have to replace or become independent of Amazon/AWS, Microsoft, Google and Oracle for cloud; NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Qualcomm, Broadcom, Marvell, Micron, Texas Instruments, Analog Devices and GlobalFoundries for processors, AI accelerators, memory, networking, communications and other semiconductors; Dell, HPE, Supermicro, IBM, Western Digital and Seagate for servers, storage and enterprise hardware; Cisco, Arista, Juniper/HPE, F5 and Ciena for networking and communications infrastructure; Microsoft, Apple, Google, Adobe, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Oracle, Workday, Intuit and Broadcom/VMware for operating systems, productivity, mobile platforms, databases, CRM, ERP, virtualization and enterprise applications; Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Zscaler, Okta, Cloudflare, Cisco and Microsoft for cybersecurity, identity and internet protection; OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta, Microsoft and NVIDIA for frontier AI models, development platforms and AI infrastructure; GitHub/Microsoft, IBM/Red Hat, Docker, Datadog, Snowflake, MongoDB, Confluent, Elastic and HashiCorp/IBM for software development, containers, databases, data management and infrastructure automation; Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe, Apple and Google for major payment and digital-wallet infrastructure; Apple, Google and Qualcomm for smartphones and mobile ecosystems; Akamai and Cloudflare for content delivery and internet infrastructure; and, critically, Cadence and Synopsys for semiconductor-design software plus Applied Materials, Lam Research and KLA for the equipment needed to manufacture advanced chips. Even that doesn’t completely solve the problem, because Canadian, European, Japanese, Taiwanese and Korean products frequently incorporate American chips, software, patents, design tools or manufacturing equipment somewhere in their supply chains.

  I was 333rd in the queue. Got kicked out. Went back in at 22900, waited till it down to let me back in. Put the wrong code in. Couldn't claim anywhere near my normal seats and ended up in the Riverbank, then it wouldn't submit payment and I had to switch to Paypal. FFS

  @AskPayPal account locked up, we are american company been doing business with paypal for 24 years, we call every day, we submitted all requested documents to prove that we are a real company, "paypal help" is no help, they are withholding 100K+ , we are going to have trouble making payroll, treating a US small business in business since 1979 like some sort of scammer. this is beyond ludicrous, i'm convinced now someone at paypal is trying to steal our hard earned money, PP-L-836499913052
