  @LuisBizarro I don’t understand how these legacy companies are still alive. Every time I even try to login to eBay, it gives me so much friction where I just give up and close the tab. Every PayPal account I’ve had has been hacked.

  @THE_TNT_TEAM Hi Tony, I can’t get past the first page because it says that my email is already registered. I was having issues with Zelle, so I went to my bank. Waiting for them to fix the problem. Is there another way for me to pay? PayPal works well for me to send money. Please advise.

  PayPal is putting explicit revenue targets on its three core units as new CEO Enrique Lores reviews the company’s strategy and pushes for faster execution. In April the payments firm reorganized around Checkout Solutions and PayPal, Consumer Financial Services and Venmo, and Payment Services and Crypto, with a single leader for each business to cut duplication and speed decisions. Lores said the goal is to sharpen focus, simplify operations and get closer to consumers after years of slower growth and margin pressure. The company has also set a cost savings target of at least 1.5 billion dollars over the next two to three years through AI, process redesign and structural realignment, with the savings reinvested into growth initiatives. For 2026 management is guiding to transaction margin dollars roughly flat to slightly down excluding interest, 3 percent growth in non transaction operating expenses, and non GAAP EPS in a range between slightly negative and slightly positive. The reset comes as PayPal tries to diversify beyond its traditional checkout business and rebuild momentum in higher margin areas. In Q1 2026 revenue rose 7 percent to 8.35 billion dollars and total payment volume grew 11 percent to 464 billion dollars, with Venmo and Braintree both delivering mid teens TPV growth and buy now pay later and pay with Venmo volumes up 23 percent and 34 percent. Q2 showed continued strength in those same units, with transaction margin dollars up 1 percent and up 3 percent excluding interest on customer balances, prompting the company to raise its full year outlook for TM dollars and EPS. Lores is emphasizing financial services as the largest driver of future TM dollar growth, expanding Venmo into a fuller financial platform, scaling PYUSD stablecoin which is now the largest federally regulated stablecoin, and partnering in AI commerce with Microsoft and others. At the same time the company returned 1.5 billion dollars to shareholders in the quarter and started a 14 cent quarterly dividend, while warning that macro pressure in Europe and competition from Big Tech and fintechs will keep the near term environment tough. - World Business News.

  I got hit with a 200 Dollers PayPal lien by a US client 🤯 Sounds scary, right? But honestly this experience reminded me of something I'll never forget entire my life Hear me out guys Few weeks ago , I started working with a new client and the biggest issue what we are facing wasn't the work Yes yess you heard me right It was communication So the client was not very active , so we couldn't discuss feedback properly. Because of that, video revisions kept getting delayed, deadlines started slipping, and eventually our contract was canceled.🥲 To make things worse, I got a $200 PayPal lien. At that moment, I could not blamed the client. Or neither I just walked away Instead, I reached out. I explained my side of the story, listened to theirs, and gave them time to think And then .. Something completely unexpected happened. They finally removed the $200 PayPal lien So the lesson is : Not every problem needs a fight. Sometimes, it just needs a conversation ✨

  4. It was the exact same question people asked me a few years ago, before I made my ecommerce business successful and moved to Dubai; when I started testing payment platforms that actually offered real individual attention to the merchants who signed up. Believe me, the big payment companies and the scammers ones do not want any real proximity with businesses that simply appear out of nowhere. Frustrated after having thousands of dollars frozen across multiple platforms like Paddle, Commas, Lemon Squeezy, PayPal, Braintree, Square and several smaller ones, I decided to build my own payment gateway. I wanted to understand 100% how this market works and how to establish myself in it. After a few months, a group of developers and I created Arkus, a platform that until recently only served as a payment processor for a close group around me and my companies. Now it is being launched to the public for the first time, and it is specifically looking for legitimate merchants who want to scale but who, just like us, have suffered far too many problems with traditional payment gateways. If you want to be one of the first to receive special attention for your business, before we grow to a level where it becomes almost impossible not to use AI to manage risk for every account, comment “ARKUS” to get personal attention from me, not just from our team.

  I've been swindled by a scam on Facebook. The "customer service" for the merchant offered to exchange the item (which never arrived), but will not issue a refund. I contacted PayPal and their AI informed me they can't deal with this kind of dispute. I contacted my bank which can't challenge PayPal payments. The scammers discovered quite a rabbit hole!

  The Right Rationale (@Right_Rationale) reported 44 minutes ago

  @jvkenya Yes, you could read the article, where I go through the myth of that story: The “emerald mine heir” story is equally false. Musk left South Africa at 17 with roughly $2,000 Canadian dollars. He worked in a lumber mill. He lived in a youth hostel and later with relatives. After college he was more than $100,000 in debt. His first company, Zip2, began with a single computer he had built himself. Because he could not afford a second machine, he coded at night so the same computer could run the company’s server during the day. He wrote the initial platform himself. His father’s brief involvement with emeralds in the early 1980s produced no lasting wealth; by 2000 Errol Musk was bankrupt and later became financially dependent on his son. The capital that later funded Tesla and SpaceX came from the sale of Zip2 and then PayPal - companies Musk built from near-zero.

  He robbed 155 dollars from me, my call out went nowhere, I’ll never see my money back. It’s too late to issue a refund from PayPal. He was giving a friend of mine a hard time on his commission. I don’t have the pull on here some do. But please. Just don’t waste your time

  the market runs 1,440 minutes a day. you run about 40. that's the entire problem. everything else you argue about on this app is downstream of that one number. so people build crutches. price alerts. a hundred goddamn price alerts. and a price alert is the dumbest possible version of your thesis, because it only knows one number. it can't tell a breakout from a wick that got bought back in nine seconds. the other camp sells you a bot. black box, a backtest curve going up and to the right, no way to ask it what the hell it's doing. most of it is a ******* screenshot business, not a trading business. TradeOS took the boring road instead. you type a sentence. plain English, no Pine Script, no repo to clone: "analyze QQQ 1D chart with trend analysis using moving average, MACD, squeeze momentum, ATR" that sentence becomes an agent: > it runs 24/7 > it watches the assets you named while you're asleep > it drops the verdict in your feed. "detected 3 trends." or nothing, which is also an answer. 13,000+ assets in reach. the agent doesn't get bored at minute 41. there's a second piece on there I think is underrated. an indicator market. one premarket S&P model has 19,347 subscribers on it. you can rent someone else's edge instead of rebuilding it from scratch, or publish yours and let other people pay for it. that's a real market, not a Discord with a paywall. now the part almost nobody clicks on. @TradeOS_ai is built on @verona_dev. Verona doesn't rent them blockspace. Verona earns a share of what the app earns. read that twice, because it inverts the usual deal. every other chain wants your gas and a logo in their ecosystem deck. Verona only gets paid when the app on top of it gets paid. that changes who they let build. a landlord takes any tenant. a partner does diligence. and look at who picked those rails. teams that moved money at eBay, PayPal, ByteDance, American Express. those people shipped payment infrastructure at a scale where a bad rail costs real money and somebody's job. they don't pick rails for the vibes. that's the signal I'd weigh, honestly. not the roadmap. the choice.

  Depends on tax compliance as well Opt for an MOR like paddle or lemon squeezy etc if you don't want to handle tax compliance or have global clients that tax compliance becomes complicated If tax compliance is not an issue, then opt for payment gateways like stripe if you have integration knowledge otherwise paypal

  If you sell peptides, marketing isn't your biggest problem. Getting paid is. Stripe, PayPal, Square, they'll process transactions for a few weeks just fine. Then a routine review freezes the account, and the cash sitting in it gets held for 90 to 120 days. We've watched this happen to brand after brand. Here's what founders get wrong about why it happens: These processors aren't judging the brand's compliance. They're judging the category. Peptides get flagged on three things simultaneously: product risk, international shipping, and the RUO grey area. Being fully compliant doesn't exempt a brand from any of it. Here's what actually holds up: 1. Skip the mainstream processors entirely. Go high-risk from day one instead. That means paying 3.5% to 6% instead of the standard 2.9%, but that difference is the cost of staying online instead of frozen. 2. Guard the chargeback rate like it's the whole business, because it basically is. Cross 1% for two months running and the account is done. Clear product pages, fast refunds, and proactive shipping updates are what keep that number under control. 3. Never run on a single processor. Two or three processors running in parallel means revenue keeps moving the moment one of them freezes, instead of the entire business stalling out. Payments come before marketing, not after. The best ad account in the world is worthless if checkout can't actually take the money. Comment "PAYMENTS" and I'll send you our full payment processing guide for peptide brands.
