  @Mr_Derivatives SOFI's product and non-existent customer service is terrible. It makes me wonder how long they can sustain any growth with such a terrible product. I know Paypal manages it, but the provide a fairly unique service, where as SOFI has less services than a regular bank. There can only be so many new suckers.

  @CRYPTOAD00 I'm sure most people would want this. The issues is, the platforms that offer freelance jobs are only limited to PayPal and skrill for some. The adoption needs to start from the guys we think are "more civilized "

  @trueusagoods I placed an order with this company. I am now trying to cancel it. The website changed the color of what I ordered, it decided to run my credit card through Paypal even though I clicked Paypal off, and it has a wierd “add a tip” that defaults to adding a tip unless you use the custom function to say zero, I guess? Also, the payment goes through to an individual name rather than the name of the company. I would overlook one of these errors but not all of them. I’ve requested the order be cancelled, if it works I will update.

  Why can $10,000 in USDC settle in 2 seconds… while a wire can still take 5 days? Because most “instant” payments aren’t actually instant. Cards, PayPal, ACH: - Fast user experience - Slow underlying settlement Stablecoins changed the model: - Near real-time finality - 24/7 settlement - Minimal fees But this isn’t a winner-takes-all story. Cards still dominate dispute protection. ACH still wins cheap recurring payments. SWIFT still matters globally. The real shift: From single-rail finance to intelligent multi-rail routing. The next decade belongs to whoever routes each payment to the best rail for the job.

  Meta tried to build crypto for billions. They assembled Mastercard, Visa, PayPal, Uber — the biggest players on Earth — and poured everything into Libra → Diem. Then it got shut down. Avery Ching was the crypto lead on that project. This is the story of what it felt like to lose it all… and what he built next. Aptos was born from the ashes of Meta’s biggest bet.

  According to my email, I buy Norton Antivirus software three or four times a week, that I paid with PayPal or a credit card, and IF I HAVE "ISSUES" I am to call their number. I have routed most of these to junk. What a mess, a globe full of scammers?

  Jenna Ryan (@realjennaryan) reported 25 minutes ago

  Ryan v. PayPal - This case is debanking--PayPal shutting down Jenna Ryan’s account on January 21, 2021 after she shared a fundraiser link on Twitter and raised approximately $200. She had used her PayPal account for roughly fifteen years. Less than an hour after closing the account, PayPal’s Director of Reputation, Kim Eichorn, spoke to national media outlets, including CBS News, and stated that Jenna had violated PayPal fundraising policies by raising money for purposes other than legal defense. However, no such “legal-defense-only” restriction existed in the user agreement. #ryanvpaypal The headlines that "Jenna Ryan Realtor was Booted from PayPal" went worldwide and Ryan was then cancelled en masse from platforms and her business, reputation and life was destroyed.

  There are upsides and downsides to both methods. Personally I use the non-steam method directly through Square. 1) I can still use paypal, and have never had payment method issues. (I primarily use credit card. If people have payment issues, chances are this isn't the only 🧵

  @CryptoTice_ Same institutions that fought PayPal. Fought Venmo. Fought every financial innovation that threatened deposits. They slowed all of them down. They never stopped any of them permanently. The vote might get delayed. The direction does not change.

  @Jayworkit If you're having trouble with GBP on Weverse, you might want to check out Ktown4u or Makestar next time! They usually handle different currencies like GBP much better and even accept PayPal. It’s always good to have a backup site just in case! 🥺

  @MikhailaFuller @PayPal The infrastructure for dispute resolution is totally broken. My dad's been in a fight withem for week because they won't close his account after he was scammed three times by the SAME COMPANY. They sent him a thousand by accident in order to fix a dispute and wanted it back but they won't give a way for him to it back. He had to go to our financial watchdog. The result was they apologised and gave instructions on how to pay. THE INSTRUCTIONS DIDNT WORK. The company is in a free fall and th board don't give a **** and are just willing to let it fracture until they are replaced completely. You have to go to your financial watchdog or ombudsman

  PayPal just cut 20% of staff. Coinbase cut 14%. Both said the same thing: "We're moving to smaller, AI-augmented teams." This isn't a future problem. This is happening right now. The people who learn AI tools today won't be the ones replaced tomorrow. What are you doing about it?

  PayPal is pushing a turnaround plan, but its latest earnings beat didn’t win over investors. Revenue rose 4% to $8.7 billion in Q4 2025, slightly below forecasts, and branded checkout growth slowed to 1%. The miss sent shares down over 20%, and CEO Alex Chriss stepped down effective March 1, with HP’s Enrique Lopez taking over. Management also cut its full-year outlook to flat or low single-digit growth, citing weak demand in travel, crypto, and gaming. - World Business News.

  @ryancohen Stopped selling with them years ago when people would buy and receive product, say it was broken and ebay/paypal would side with them when all they really wanted was to get an item for free or deep discount. 1985 wants the design back.

  I have been using PayPal in Uganda for now 6+ years and have had no issues. So I'm speaking with a lot of experience. Yesterday I even withdrew 1.7m ugx from my PayPal to Stanbic and in 30 seconds it had reached my bank account. I can do the same with Equity, DFCU and even UBA. Instant withdrawal from PayPal business to my bank account. Just don't try to circumvent the system, pay their transaction fees, you will enjoy PayPal.
