  @EnriqueJLores @PayPal Congratulations, I however have an issue with how your team handles account limitation issues. My business account got limited, I asked for 2 reviews, they don't respond clearly via email. First review, email says partial restoration, and nothing changes at all. I need an ear.

  @TonyClimate @eBay This happened to me in the early 2000s. I filed a report with paypal (part of ebay at that time) and they dismissed it because "the seller said he shipped it" even though he could not provide tracking. $649 Eventually he shut down his account after a series of complaints.

  @ziwan_o1 Yeah that is my issue why it's still there. I don't get many clients and when I do most of them uses PayPal as payment method. I activated this as precautions incase my PayPal gets flagged and get permanently banned.

  @TellonTue Hi there, we apologize that you’re running into this issue!

If you’re trying to pay by phone (IVR), note that postpaid-to-prepaid customers can’t complete payments through IVR, and those with an alphanumeric passcode get transferred instead. Please reach out to us in DM, we’ll help figure out what’s causing the issue and get it fixed for you. -ValentinaF

  Paypal shareholders have ZERO economic incentive to engage in buyout discussions with Stripe/Advent below $110/ share. Rejecting them would in fact open the door for the most bullish case: the acceleration of $PYPL . Intrinsic Value growth over the next 12 months. Here is the math: •Paypal rejects Stripe/Advent offer below shareholder maximizing value of $110 per share. Stock drops back down to $50. •Paypal continues to execute buybacks at current pace of $6 billion per annum. Takes out roughly 120 million shares. The lower the stock goes the more powerful buybacks become. Since the company is a cashflow machine that creates a flywheel by which market pessimism increases Intrinsic Value per share. This is not theoretical, management has already demonstrated they are willing to do this, buying back 67MM shares at $44.99 in 1H 2026. •Management’s turnaround plan continues at current pace, no heroics just plain boring. Continue executing shift into financial services, begin realizing already earmarked cost savings. They deliver $6.20 EPS, continue generating $6 billion in FCF. At 13x that puts the company share price at $80.6 in 12 months. •Add a $25 control premium to that for any buyer that appears then and Paypal shareholders are at $105/ share. And this does not take into account any additional buybacks or business growth after year 1. •$110 is the fair buyout price for Stripe/Advent to pay now for Paypal shareholders to relinquish a bright future. •We know Advent cannot pay that because their PE math begins to fall apart. Stripe needs to go solo or find better financing if it does not want to miss this strategic opportunity. Paypal Shareholders do not support selling the company below intrinsic value and Paypal shareholders should not be asked to subsidize Advent’s return requirements.

  @JermainePercins @stripe @PayPal The cause of this was when I was doing about $500,000 revenue monthly I ran into horrible supply manufacture issues that caused my dispute rate to spike to 5%+ for an extended time.

  @rob_trew To start, avoid contracts; paying up front is best. PayPal Pay in Four is good. Don't make a scene about it on social media. Learn from the mistake and take down all the links easily. If you are white label, contact the white label partner.

  robert peachey (@RPeachey86) reported 36 minutes ago

  @KatrinaHelle Been in PayPal since 2023. Fortunate enough to have been able to average down. $80 is a good price, $40 off the low. Surely PayPal will reach $100 again on its own but CEO said turnaround would not begin till 2028. Rather go ahead and cash out at $80 then redeploy.

  I've only ever had one job in my life. It lasted a few months, and I quit on the spot when I was 17. A week before, £3,000 had landed in my PayPal account. At the time I was working a few hours a week at Morrisons for about £180 a month. Stacking shelves, standing on the till. Then I made almost 17x that in a week from something I built myself. On my own time, with nothing but my phone and an idea. So I stood there doing the maths in my head, walked up to my manager and quit on the spot. No notice. No plan for what came next. To this day, that's still the only job I've ever had. That same year I started sixth form, and instead of slowing the business down I kept it running through the whole thing. Working on it before school. During lunch instead of eating with everyone else. Last thing before bed, replying to people who wanted to join. My teachers noticed. They weren't happy. A couple of them pulled me aside and told me straight. You're distracted. This is just a phase. If you actually want to go somewhere in life, focus on what matters. I understood why they said it. I just didn't agree. So I kept going. Still came out with three A's at the end of it. Looking back, that year taught me something about myself. I've always been a risk taker. It's just how I'm wired. Everyone around me was following the same path. School, uni, grad job, climb the ladder. And I get why. It's safe. It's what we're told to do. But I kept choosing the high risk option instead. Betting on the thing that was working over the thing that was expected. And every big step forward in my career since has come from making that same trade. I remember watching an old interview with Steve Jobs where he talked about starting Apple with Wozniak. He said they realised they had nothing to lose and everything to gain. That's exactly how I felt at 17. And honestly, it's how I still feel every single day. Because the worst thing that can happen is you lose it all and start over. Except this time with more knowledge, more experience, and everything to gain all over again. That's the whole trade. Limited downside, unlimited upside. Most people never take it. Not because the risk is too big, but because the story about the risk is.

  here's how to make your first sale without an audience, without a product, and without spending a dollar step 1: think of one problem you've solved for yourself in the last 12 months. lost weight. cleared skin. organized apartment. grew followers. learned to cook. fixed sleep. anything step 2: write the solution as a numbered list in your notes app. every step you took. every product you used. every mistake you made. every shortcut you found. raw. unedited. brain dump step 3: text 3 friends this message: "i'm putting together a guide on [topic]. would you pay $20 for the exact breakdown of how i did it with every step and product listed" if 2/3 say yes you have a validated product. if they say no ask "what would make it worth $20 to you" and adjust based on their answer step 4: clean up the brain dump. add links to products. add before/after if you have it. export as PDF. send it to the friends who said yes. collect payment through venmo, paypal, or cash app step 5: screenshot the transaction. screenshot their reaction when they read it. post both with "just sold my first digital product. if you want the guide DM me. $20" you just made your first sale. the number doesn't matter. the neural pathway you just created does. your brain now has proof that strangers will pay you for what you know. that proof rewires everything that comes after it

  @benwegmann I’ve sold nine phones on Swappa and probably a dozen things on OfferUp and Craigslist over the years, I’ve never once had a problem. I’ve tried selling things on eBay TWICE and both times the seller attempted to scam me. eBay and PayPal are a cesspit

  @VannDough @agentlayer_ai the paypal analogy undersells it, paypal still needed a human to click confirm. agents need wallets with spend limits and revocable keys baked in, not just rails. x402 solves the sub cent problem card networks never could, a 30 cent min fee kills any agent making 1000 api calls a day.

  PayPal is such a pain. So many hoops. High charges. Every time I went to use it, there was some issue or glitch or something didn't work right. And now they closed my account because I did not respond to some scam. PayPal sucks
