  The hidden cost of eCom no one talks about: everyone holds your money. Stripe and PayPal hold payouts and skip weekends. Amazon pays every two weeks. Etsy holds yours too. Meanwhile Facebook Ads charges you every threshold, weekends included. You pay fast, you get paid slow. eCom life lol

  $PYPL PAYPAL SHARES REVERSE COURSE, NOW DOWN 8% PREMARKET

  FindleysFinance (@FindleysFinance) reported 16 minutes ago

  Truthfully, I'm a $PYPL bear. I think this is a business with a declining model and they seem to squeeze every ounce of margin out of their customers, rather than growing their customer base. However, $PYPL does look cheap today. On a 5 year DCF, if Paypal can achieve: - Earnings Growth of 4% - Growth Decay of 5% - P/E of 10 - Discount Rate of 10% - Annual share repurchase of 4.77% Then the business could realistically return a 14% CAGR to share price. The question isn't wether the business is cheap or not, rather, is it a cigar butt, or a slow grower?

  @IAMDorkSide Yeah she acted like I said the craziest things when I said something simple ("people in some areas don't have access to PayPal") and it left a bad taste to my mouth, really felt like she wrote the worst possible things down

  @oost_marcel @PayPal Growth masked a lot of operational complexity. Now efficiency is forcing companies to actually fix it.

  Jami: Government Shutdown is now getting **** *****. -Liberty God: 18 million in my bank account had not been met. In fact, they tried to shut down all of PayPal so that it wouldn't be. Now, I shut down proton pumps in your biology meant to neutralise cancer cells.

  The internet had a capital problem too. PayPal fixed it for humans. Stripe scaled it for sites. x402 closes it for agents.

  Ok now I see the difference began @Square and @PayPal. ✅ PayPal offers zero customer service and if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem In contrast, Square offers customer service that will keep you on the phone for half an hour and tell you that if they hold onto your money for their own reasons it's your problem

  @askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.

  @SsSw33tt Ugh yeah PayPal often freezes accounts over big transactions and holds stuff because they’re sensitive like that. Did you enter an email when you ordered? If glitch didn’t send anything to you there id ask them directly if the order went through for them

  @AranTheLichKing That sounds fine if you are using the account for actual business/creator purposes: streaming income, tips, commissions, invoices, merch, services, etc. The issue is not “having a PayPal Business account.” The issue is treating it like a name privacy shield while using it however you want. So yes, using a creator/business name like “Aran The Lich King” may be fine for branding. But when tax season comes, the income still needs to be properly tracked and reported to the correct tax authority. If you are audited and you have been hiding income, mixing personal and business activity badly, or withholding information from tax authorities, that can become a serious problem fast.

  @MateuszKaczysk9 @Acyn France is developing alternatives for its civil service. The EU is already trying to build alternative to Visa/MasterCard and PayPal. With the USA cloud act - reliance on USA platforms is now seen as a security issue

  @PayPal My account is restricted and I cannot access my funds due to a technical error preventing verification. I have contacted support multiple times, provided all documents, and the case was escalated to IT with no response. I have now filed a complaint with the CSSF.

  @PayPal @PayPalUK have really gone down the drain. How are they still a company when Revolut and Wise exist? Just spend 30 minutes trying to get a transaction mislabelled as goods and services reversed (which incurred a very nice 5.5% fee for PayPal) and apparently it’s impossible. Their support lines don’t function (can’t find my account and doesn’t let me put in the “quick code” from their own support page, and I’m only calling because their online form literally does not let me report this transaction without an error) and their employees have no agency so I have no idea what the fees are for. Will gladly use Revolut and Wise for subsequent transactions

  @ecwid Page getting stuck on PayPal, PayPal not working for random people, Apple Pay also not working for everyone. This tells me it’s an Ecwid issue. Been trying to get answers for over a week.

  @LeveragedFun @SiliconSalvage But this is how they fix the core business, is divesting Venmo and possibly brain tree and being laser focused on PayPal wallet + branded checkout. Selling a business that makes no money for $20B is not selling low.

  @LastManBalling @marlowxbt Flaws in this plan: - Scraping Google Maps violates ToS and risks bans/legal issues; cold emails often hit spam filters and violate CAN-SPAM rules. - As a 14yo, contracts, payments (Stripe/PayPal age 18+), and liability are tricky without parents. - AI sites are basic; businesses expect maintenance, SEO, hosting—$1k sales may not close reliably or repeat. - Easy to copy, so leads dry up fast; 3% response is optimistic. Solutions: Partner with parents for legal setup/LLC. Manually search instead of scrape. Offer maintenance packages for recurring revenue. Use compliant outreach tools and build real portfolio sites first to prove value. Test 10 calls before scaling.
