  @Sugzza @TheNewRhyme Most people are going to take out EVERYTHING from their PayPal ASAP because PayPal is known to just lock your account down and take your money. Even $3 would've sent them into the negatives.

  2.9% feels like a rounding error until you run it across a year. bill $90,000 through stripe or paypal and about $2,600 disappears into processing fees. nothing wrong with paying it, but most freelancers have never seen the annual total. ever added up a full year of fees?

  This is for everyone’s awareness. I allowed one person to borrow my PayPal account strictly for paying PerthSanta photocard transactions, under a clear agreement that it would only be used for that purpose. However, I later discovered that my PayPal account was used for personal transactions without my knowledge or permission. On top of that, this person received money through my account without informing me. Because the funds were placed on hold, I only received ₱18,000 and immediately refunded it. She then claimed that the ₱18,000 should be transferred to GCash account which I did, and since my PayPal account was on hold, the remaining amount of ₱33,718.14 automatically released and sent back to the sender. Despite this, the sender still reported my PayPal account and falsely accused me of being a scammer in relation to concert ticket payments. I had absolutely no involvement in any of these transactions, as my account was used entirely without my consent. The sender also harassed me and threatened to sue me for crimes I did not know about and did not commit. This situation has caused me extreme stress and sleepless nights. As a result, I am now dealing with the consequences, handling refund disputes, and my PayPal account has been permanently shut down due to actions I did not commit. Let this serve as a serious warning: never allow anyone access to your financial accounts, even if you fully trust them. One wrong decision can lead to severe consequences, false accusations, and irreversible damage to your account and reputation.

  @EnriqueJLores $pypl first time that I can remember a PayPal CEO or CFO presenting to investors and not tanking the stock. The 2 year plan is painfully slow, you guys talk years when it should be quarters.

  @ssamgum Honestly, I don’t even know what to do at this point. PayPal isn’t supported in our country, so I’m already dealing with enough issues using Payoneer. Calling support probably won’t help either the only thing that might actually work is live chat, but that option is turned off.

  @BreannaMorello If these rioters are using Venmo to pay for all these supplies why hasn't the CEO Alex Criss of Venmo shut it down, they are aiding and abetting the destruction and chaos. They should be held liable. Venmo is owned by PayPal.

  Apple Pay just passed PayPal in online checkout. Most Shopify stores haven't touched their checkout button order since setup. 70% mobile traffic, one-tap Apple Pay beats a separate login. Check your accelerated checkout sequence now, it's probably years out of date.

  @mark_klemens Hi Mark , What issues do you experience when trying to get process transactions on Gemini? Yes beside wire transfer Gemini supports other options like debit card, PayPal , crypto deposits etc .

  @bitchuneedsoap If Venmo is being used to finance these riots why hasn't the CEO of Venmo, Alex Criss which is owned by PayPal, shut down these accounts, they are just as guilty of all the destruction.

  @sleptonmypencil Yeah, this was a major bummer. I don't understand how PayPal is okay with just dismantling someone's account like that. It's like if you get paid for too many comms, they close you down, which is insane. I'm sorry this happened, bud.

  @KostadinMedarov I would agree large amounts of competition and margins are going down due to their growth coming from low margin business segments, but there is an attractive price for every business and I think PayPal is selling at a fraction of intrinsic value. It’s my weakest company in my portfolio, but it also has the cheapest valuation. 400M+ active users won’t just fall off the face of the earth they have a large ecosystem that other competitors don’t offer!

  Merchants hate payment fees. Stripe: 2.9% PayPal: 3.5% $XEC eCash: 0.0001% That's not a rounding error. That's a paradigm shift. When @Coinbase Commerce supports $XEC, this becomes real for millions of merchants overnight. #XEC #eCash #CoinbaseListXEC

  LMAO I’m sorry but people are slow. Why would someone keep $9 mil in a PayPal account!? You wouldn’t even keep that much in a standard bank account. And why would they need to borrow money from you if they had $9 mil 💀

  @livgo1f Welllll meta support has always been pretty fkn bad, even since 2018. It has gotten much worse though What was ur rolling dispute rate on PayPal? Either way (negative account aside) I technically should’ve never been allowed back on PayPal but at a certain point (a few years ago) I figured out I could just make another account and since then I’ve run a cleaner biz PayPal is good when you can keep dispute rates below like 0.3-0.5% IMO their dispute system is much easier to have higher dispute ratio due to ease of opening cases so while CBs on our SP are below 0.01% us, it’s not abnormal for our PayPal to sit around 10-15X higher for us which is still acceptable by their standards But I’ve even run offers closer to 0.8% PayPal dispute ratio with no issues

  Regarding overseas orders! As you may see from my previous tweet I have a problem with my paypal right now. It seemed to be unresolve in a short time, I doubt it will ever be resolved at all. So i decide to cancel all of the 🌍 order and not taking individual 🌍 order anymore.

  @TheMikiKomori @Twitch @TwitchSupport I have had to do something similar with PayPal in the past and they thankfully are actually good at looking over all the evidence supplied to them. Hopefully they don't allow this person to get away with it. I've been hearing a lot of issues with twitches support not doing work
