  The problem with all of these apps to send money (PayPal, Cash App, Apple Pay etc) as I see it is that you tend to collect money in each and forget about it then one day you open Apple Pay and $1500 is just sitting there that you forgot existed. Blessing and a curse.

  @Roinikainen @Takyon @Peregrino1708 The main problem of PayPal is that they don’t really have something different from other competitors. Why chose it now? I had I few years ago because was easy to send money immediately between friends but nowadays you can do the same with a bank (like Revolut). Anyway talking about the acquisition I agree that is bad for PayPal

  He pays €80/month for cable TV but watches 20% of the channels. So he built his own IPTV service — Ultra IPTV Ireland. Only 1 follower on IndieHackers. But he says it makes $10k/month. Here’s how it works: • IPTV = TV over internet. No dish, no cable. Just stream on any device. • Subscription model: ~€10-20/month. At $10k revenue, that’s ~600 paying users. • Tools: Likely Nginx + RTMP for streaming, Xtream UI for management, Stripe/PayPal for payments. • No marketing — just SEO and word-of-mouth. The challenges: • Copyright risk — many IPTV services operate in a grey area. • Stream sources break often, requiring constant maintenance. • Payment processors may shut you down. • Customer support is a full-time job. Is it for you? You need basic server/streaming tech skills or budget to hire. You must understand local copyright laws. You’ll spend hours on maintenance and support. But if you can solve a real pain point — expensive cable TV — with a cheaper alternative, it’s a viable side hustle. $10k/month is his claim, not verified. But the model works. One follower, $10k? Sometimes you just need to start testing. Follow for more real AI money breakdowns. #IPTV #SideHustle

  @YellowLabLife @BestBuy Always pay with paypal. They will resolve in your favour no problem (takes 2 minutes to submit a refund request). Then bank reverse the transaction as final straw.

  The problem is more than just “wrong currency” These people require cash or PayPal. For Smash the ICC does not have good reception meaning I was holding up the line just waiting for my PayPal to load

  Random question and probably a long shot, but I'm having issues with my bank account. Can someone PayPal me $6 until I can go to the bank tomorrow? I can send the money back in a day or so. #MutualAidThread (not sure if this is the right tag, as I've helped people out before)

  @prompterminal Paypal and VISA have adopted crypto. This industry has left me with little hope, because almost nobody is willing to adopt post quantum cryptography. The system has a clock counting down to doom and they refuse to upgrade. Crypto *could* have done great things and might some day

  And tell us if she's real or fake. Ok. Bilionairs don't hunt down accounts with no one following them and start following them saying they billionaires and send your PayPal info. But it does match the email. I have got from the hackers it scammers saying i am approved

  I have 3 home service businesses in 2 states and have been using @Workiz (home service CRM) for 5 years. I’m vibe coding my own and giving up consistent reliability for control and here’s why. 1. No api. 2. Can’t change the booking funnel. Look at 1800 got junk or any of the largest home service businesses. Zip code input for availability -> client info -> time selection is proven. It works. I want it. 3. With Quo (openphone) we can send texts that do not have “Text STOP to unsubscribe” Workiz is a huge company and they have to constantly safe guard compliance. I don’t care. It absolutely pummels our first text response rate to new leads. Think 30% difference in response rate. Terrible. Sue me I’d rather have efficiency. 4. There are at least 5 integrations I can think of for automations on nurturing leads, referrals, current clients, invoices that i want full control over. They cap you on automations and have limited integrations without using Zapier that sucks and breaks constantly. 5. Admin dashboard. This is huge. I want to be able to talk to my data constantly. I want to change UI of how I see everything our backend touches. Cannot do this. 6. Payment processing. 3.49 percent is brutal on no swipe POS processing of invoices and when employees card reader dies. PayPal POS has WAY more favorable rates. I have done it for one of my businesses and it’s worth it already in closed leads, follow ups, website conversion rates with better funnel, and understanding of our data. They have honestly been great and IMO significantly better than other sometimes more expensive options ie housecall, service titan, jobber, etc. Not to mention saving 8k a year.

  @GreatestGoodTar @PayPal Paypal are a nightmare when anything goes wrong! I haven't been able to use my account for years now, because "I have restrictions on my account." Whenever I try to resolve it, I just get error messages! 🤯🤬

  @anthonynoto Saw your interview with CNBC . Do you hear yourself ? @anthonynoto “Stocks up 170% in the last 2 years “ Are you really proud of that ? Stock went from 4$ to 18$ in 6 years if you being CEO “Stock is reflective of macro environment “ “ $hood is up for the year “ “ $Dave is up for the year” Even PayPal is down less than Sofi for the year ! If one of your employees at $sofi underperformed for 6 straight years, what would you do @anthonynoto ? Keep them or fire them ? We all know the answer ! Fact is you have failed at your fiduciary duty to provide returns for your shareholders . Infact you do the opposite , dilute shareholders at every opportunity . If this was any other job , and the board wasn’t scared of your power to fire them , you would be gone ! #facts

  @BullrunnersHQ I refuse to get a Venmo acct. and will shut my Paypal down on a second. Hackers get into those accts all the time. I DO NOT trust Venmo and question Paypal for unsolicited monthly payments that I did not agree. My bank had to fight to get $486 back from Venmo that I never had. It's quiet alarming. They need to be forced to use a secure ledger.

  Ive been saying for a while "Something isnt right in the MKT' And im referring to valuation being way too high, and having weights of some companies be far too big in 'indexes' which passive funds only amplify the problem. IF the stock mkt valuations are too high, Whats it say abt private mkts when Stripe as a private company, can raise private funds to buy paypal??? Its that Private valuations are even worse. reckoning is coming, dont be caught getting nickels in front of a steam roller waiting till the last second

  Attention those having problems with Restrictions & payouts & need solutions beyond Facebook's support team! 1. Did you know that you can contact the Consumer Federal Public Bureau and they will help you. If Meta claims they issued a payout to your bank, PayPal, or Stripe, but the funds are frozen, missing, or rejected, file a complaint against the payment company or bank via the CFPB Complaint Portal. If Meta is completely refusing to calculate, acknowledge, or clear your monetization earnings, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is the correct federal regulator. The FTC monitors deceptive business practices, breach of digital merchant contracts, and unfair treatment of independent creators. Take Action: Submit a formal business fraud report at the official FTC Report Fraud Portal State Attorney General: File a report with your state's Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. State AGs have dedicated teams that routinely force tech companies to assign real humans to investigate local creator complaints. Better Business Bureau (BBB): File an official complaint on the BBB Meta Platforms Profile. Meta maintains an active team on the BBB to resolve issues and protect their corporate rating, often resulting in direct contact

  Stripe + Advent offered to BUY $PYPL for $60.50 per share, that’s over $53 billion total and about 28% higher than the current price! It looks like a great deal for Stripe/Advent (they get tons of customers). But $60.50 feels low, PayPal might be worth closer to $90–$100. 
Still, PayPal should probably accept because growth has been slow and they’re struggling to fix it alone. 𝗜𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: PayPal shares jump 19% on the news.

  Wendy (@WendyGayleLove) reported 59 minutes ago

  PayPal WILL create an invoice seemingly I could pay?? I wonder about the intersection with the bank's being the problem. How does it intersect with the merchant. So many cues signal actions that are not necessarily appropriate in how they intersect: number of hits does NOT necessarily translate into items PURCHASED for example but is recorded that way erroneously, because of that Shortcut.
