  Rejected: PayPal's board just said no to a $53B buyout offer at a 28% premium Stripe and Advent International, with Block contributing part of a combined $17B in equity, offered $60.50 per share for PayPal, valuing it above $53B, a 28% premium to PayPal's July 14 closing price. Roughly $50B in bank financing backed the bid. PayPal's board rejected the offer about five days later as inadequate, reportedly holding out for closer to $70 a share, with talks said to be continuing. The structure would have kept PayPal intact, with Stripe and Advent owning it on an equal basis. PayPal's market cap had fallen to roughly $36B this year, down nearly 90% from its 2021 peak near $360B. This is a live negotiation, not a completed deal. Stripe buying PayPal would combine two of the largest payment networks in the world, but a rejected opening bid is a normal stage in a process that could take weeks to resolve, or fall apart entirely.

  @ArcticDago @Veteransforukr1 Are you paying from a PayPal "bank account"? I think the issue is the credit card (bank) I have that is tied to PayPal. PP's fees are fine.... I need to put money into a PP account and then send it, from what I'm seeing online. Otherwise bank charges me ridiculous fees.

  @Jarretts2k @benjaminjudahh Bitcoin was around $200 when I was first told about it in 2013. I had my finger on the trigger to send £1000 sterling through PayPal to some guy. That would have got me around 7 BTC because of exchange rates. That was my trial run...i would have put in a lot more because I had just sold my apple stock that I had held for the entire time Steve Jobs was CEO. I dont know, if I had followed through I might have eventually had 150 or 200 Bitcoin. But I paused before sending the trial amount. The guy I was sending the money to had a frogs head for a profile picture and a name like BTC2MOON or something like that. So I backed out. By January 2018 I was in NYC and heard about it again in a restaurant and came home and googled it and arrived on the block size thread on reddit. I remember thinking yeah thats why I didnt buy it in 2013. So I shut down my browser and went yo bed. My son being born in 2023 was the push I needed. I was 50 and had a new kid and **** myself about his financial future

  Yes, be very careful. Scammers will do everything they can to steal your channel. I was recently contacted by someone on TikTok who said he wanted to buy my TikTok account and YouTube channel for $20,000. That was already a red flag because my accounts weren't even that big but still possible. He suggested using a middleman, which I always do, so I agreed. He invited me to a Discord server for the middleman service, and everything looked legitimate. People were active in the chat, there were positive reviews, and it all seemed professional. The middleman even sent me a screenshot of the payment the buyer had supposedly made. Everything looked real, including the PayPal payment. But right before I was about to transfer the accounts, I asked in the public chat if anyone could confirm the middleman service was legitimate. At first, nobody replied for two days, which already felt strange. Then I was suddenly contacted by five different people who told me their TikTok or YouTube channels had been stolen. It turned out the entire Discord server was run by bots, and the "middleman" was part of the scam. They were extremely professional and clearly knew exactly how to steal accounts. Be careful.

  Phantom Stays (@PhantomStays) reported 33 minutes ago

  For founders doing $5m+/yr in revenue, you need to be sitting on $1m+ in credit lines minimum (if u want to get to the next level). Story - Just had a call with yet another NL 🇳🇱 chad ecom founder doing $25m/year, actively selling off dropshipping stores to go hard on branded ecom. Living a global life traveling 60 to 90 days a year. Smart operator. But his current setup is not optimal. He's been running everything through a Dutch entity and Dutch credit cards. Has the tools ready for a US switch - like an approved ITIN sitting there doing nothing. Zero access to US credit lines, inventory financing, and travel infrastructure that could completely transform how he scales and lives. Here's how we're fixing it: The first move is structural. We're transitioning all revenue, Shopify payments, and PayPal from the Dutch entity into the US LLC. That single shift unlocks the entire US banking and credit ecosystem he's been locked out of. Before anything else though, he needs a US residential mail-forwarding address locked in, because that's the foundation everything else sits on. From there, the credit build kicks off immediately. 🔥 He already holds a Dutch Amex in good standing. Through the Amex Global Transfer program, he can leverage that existing relationship to get approved for a US Amex card without waiting 9 to 12 months to build history from scratch. No US residency required, just a US postal address for delivery. This bypasses the biggest bottleneck most foreign founders hit. 🔥 Next, we start building his ITIN credit profile properly. Entry level cards that accept ITINs (Capital One, Chase Freedom Rise once his Chase checking is active), low utilization, on-time payments across multiple accounts, a credit builder installment loan to mix it up. After 6 to 12 months of solid profile maturity, the heavy hitters open up: Chase Ink, Capital One Spark, eventually full business lines underwritten against his revenue. We're talking $1M to $5M in inventory financing to fuel the branded ecom dreams he's chasing. That's not theoretical. That's what Chase can extend to a business doing his numbers once the credit infrastructure actually exists. 🔥 Then there's the travel side. For 60 to 90 travel days a year across luxury properties, burning cash on full-rate stays is just idiotic. We're getting him into the Hotel Purveyor program. The fee to access that doubles as a creditable escrow, meaning it counts as a down payment toward a future investment. In return, he gets access to PHANTOM RATES at Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, W and comparable properties - 80% to 90% off standard market value. No points games. That's paying $100 to $200 a night where others pay $900 to $1,500. For a guy traveling nearly three months a year, the math on that alone is absurd. 🔥 And when he's ready + we have a new hotel acquisition lined up, there's the fractional hotel investment option through the program. Historically 25% annual returns to boost his wealth generation while he enjoys major travel savings. We're holding off on the complex global tax structuring for now. Get the foundation right first. US entity active, US credit profile building, Amex Global Transfer executed. That's the 60 to 90 day sprint before anything more sophisticated gets layered in. But you best believe he will be rocking 0% tax soon (legally). The current setup is a 2% cash back ceiling on a business doing $25M+ a year. The fact that he got to that level w/o credit lines is astonishing. But with US credit infrastructure and proper financing in place, his biz will scale effortlessly.

  Initiated the withdraw request. BuyMeACoffee takes huge cut from this money. Platform fee: 5% Payment processing fees: typically around 2.9% + 0.30% per transaction. Fix transaction fee: $2 ( sum of fees per tips / donation received ) So, in my case $15 - $3.19 = $11.81 that's what I will get. PayPal charges little less that Buy Me a Coffee. So PayPal is best.

  We are apparently dealing with the unluckiest person on the planet, aren’t we, @DmytroKotrjhd, previously @Dmitro622248? Over the past year alone, according to his own claims: - He has barely left hospitals because of severe health problems. - He allegedly suffered two strokes in March and May 2026. - Nearly every fundraiser coincided with reports of multiple KIA and WIA in his units. - His daughter supposedly needed a $25,000 eye surgery last December. - The moment I asked for proof of payment, his X account was allegedly hacked. - Four days later, his Facebook and Instagram accounts disappeared. - When donors started requesting PayPal refunds via Paypal, his PayPal account also allegedly became unavailable-along with roughly $23,000 from the latest fundraiser. I could honestly keep going. #Fellas, if you have a spare minute, light a candle and say a prayer for this man. His run of extraordinary bad luck is apparently beyond anything we've ever seen. Perhaps then he'll finally be able to refund every single penny he has collected since opening his account.

  Barrons with the Best and Worst performers of S&P500 for July. Cognizant( $CTSH) up 43% followed by $PYPL, Yes PayPal at 32% then WorkDay $WDAY at 31%. Looking through this list you guessed it right, TECH had a meltdown. The biggest decliner $SNDK down 46% followed by $GLW down 46%. Both $SNDK and $GLW would have to gain 100% to reach their ATHs for 2026. These were still up 411% and 57% for the year. If I had to wager a bet which would bounce back from here, I would bet it’s $SNDK.

  @reksmore Without integration, it just wont be done by most people. Wont take the extra steps. I myself have been locked out of paypal for over a year over a single donation of .82 and have sent in my ID to support many many times to verify and still cannot use my account. I imagine Im not the only one having problems with paypal.

  @BeforePablo I personally know MoF was looking to have a sit down with Paypal management in Europe back in 2023. PayPal’s stance is that our financial system isn’t sanitized enough. Too many fraudulent transactions linked to Ghana and it’s almost impossible to trace such persons.
