  @PayPal, I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I have forgotten my password, and the response I received is unacceptable. Your support is not available late, nor do you provide a chat assistant for account-related issues. 🙄 Now, I have to wait until tomorrow to complete a transfer. This is absurd.

  @capreedmi @InTheAssembly Here's Burry's Q1 2026 Substack disclosure breakdown on the 7 software/payments names (thematic portfolio): - **PYPL (PayPal)**: New position opened at $49.38 (~3.5% stake). Core payments play. - **FISV (Fiserv)**: Holding. High-quality payments infrastructure with stable cash flows. - **ADBE (Adobe)**: Holding. AI disruption narrative overblown; creative tools moat intact. - **ADSK (Autodesk)**: Holding. Design software leader with strong competitive moat. - **VEEV (Veeva)**: Holding. Healthcare SaaS focused on life sciences compliance. - **CRM (Salesforce)**: Adding. Down ~30% YTD; undervalued enterprise cloud leader. - **MSCI**: Adding. Financial data/infrastructure with recurring revenue resilience. Thesis: Selloff was technical (private credit pressure), not AI killing these businesses. None rely on private credit. Contrarian vs. Mag7 hype.

  @Pirat_Nation Banks have zero ******* business telling us what games should cost. Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal already try to censor what we’re allowed to play, now they want to help push $80 as the new standard? Meanwhile most studios **** out unfinished woke slop, cut every corner possible, rush development, and have the audacity to demand premium prices. If the game is actually good and worth it? Sure, charge more. But asking $80 for mediocre trash and broken launches? Get absolutely ******. Gamers aren’t stupid. We’ll just wait for the inevitable sale… or skip your garbage entirely. Stop punishing your customers for your greed and low-quality woke slop.

  @EnriqueJLores @PayPal PayPal has become inefficient and difficult to use in my opinion. I have had issues for 2 months now that despite hours trying to resolve, remain unresolved. At scale, no wonder PayPal needs a turn around. Good luck

  Swiss Knife Investor (@SwissKnifeInv) reported 28 minutes ago

  $PYPL reported Q1 2026 earnings today. The stock dropped ~9%. Here’s why I’m not worried. PayPal reiterated full-year guidance of $6 billion in adjusted free cash flow and $6 billion in share repurchases. They bought back 34 million shares in Q1 alone. Revenue up 7%. Total Payment Volume up 11%. They beat on both revenue and EPS. The stock went down 9%. That tells you everything about where expectations are right now. The $1.5 billion nobody is talking about. New CEO Enrique Lores committed to at least $1.5 billion in gross run-rate savings over the next 2 to 3 years through simplification and AI. That’s $1.5 billion in earnings growth just from getting leaner. Zero new revenue required. And it assumes nothing from ads, Venmo monetization, or expanded credit products. Those are all upside on top of it. Now about those margins. Yes, margins got squeezed. Good. That’s the point. PayPal is competing against Stripe, Apple Pay, and Block. They’re investing to defend a position they nearly lost. Nobody goes to the penalty box for doing everything right. If you’re expecting an A+ report from a company fighting the best fintechs in the world, the stock wouldn’t be down here. The reason it’s here is because the results look like this. That’s not a bug. That’s the setup. The one real concern: active accounts at 439 million, up just 1% year-over-year. A two-sided network that isn’t growing users has a problem. Transactions per active account ex-PSP were up 6%, which helps. But this is the problem Lores inherited and the reason the stock is where it is. I entered PYPL at $40.94. Nothing today changes that thesis. Thesis intact.

  Kai - Briefing Block (@briefing_block_) reported 30 minutes ago

  $PYPL - PayPal’s problem is not growth. It’s what that growth is worth. PayPal just printed $8.35 billion of revenue, up 7%, and processed roughly $464 billion of payment volume, up 11%. On the surface, that is not a broken business. The issue is that the earnings bridge still looks too thin. Net profit fell to $1.11 billion from $1.29 billion, while transaction margin dollars rose only 3% to $3.8 billion. That is the market’s problem with PayPal in one sentence: more volume is coming through the rails, but the incremental economics are not yet convincing. Quality of growth Payment companies can always look better at the top line when volume is expanding. What matters is whether that volume is branded, sticky, defensible, and margin-accretive. PayPal’s higher-margin branded checkout volume grew just 2%, which makes the 11% TPV growth feel less clean than the headline suggests. Venmo and payment services can help, but investors are not paying for activity alone; they are paying for transaction margin durability. Management knows the gap. That is why the new plan is built around AI, simplification, and at least $1.5 billion of gross run-rate savings over the next two to three years. But cost cutting is not the same as operating leverage. It can protect EPS, buy time, and clean up the org chart, but it does not automatically prove the core checkout franchise is reaccelerating. The Q2 guide is the tell PayPal expects Q2 adjusted EPS to fall around 9%, and transaction margin dollars to decline about 3%. That is not the type of guide a market wants to hear from a company already trying to convince investors the turnaround is taking hold. To me, the stock debate is no longer “can PayPal grow?” It clearly can. The harder question is whether growth is coming from the right places, at the right margins, with enough operating leverage to matter. Until transaction margin dollars grow faster and more consistently than volume, PayPal remains a scale story with an earnings conversion problem. Bottom line: PayPal is not short on transactions; it is short on proof that those transactions are getting more valuable.

  Actually I find PayPal good just make sure you follow it's TOS. Been using it for years and have no issues. 1. Do not keep sending/recieving money as family and friends. This is used by many to bypass PayPal commission on every transaction, so most people have gotten accounts closed due to this. 2. Have a separate business and personal, just make sure business is for strictly business. 3. Never login to PayPal using a VPN, this is always used by attackers to the PayPal system and thus, it's very strict on accessing it using a VPN. 4. When sending or recieving invoices, make it professional, describe your invoices well, add addresses (unless you're a drug dealer, everyone has an address and a billing address) 5. Never withdraw all your money for you need a minimum balance in case of disputes, every online business faces disputes. 6. Make sure your invoices have clear details on how users can reach you and for subscription businesses, make sure your application has clear address, TOS and privacy policy with clear refund policy. 7. Never try to bypass their transaction fees, it's better getting less money than trying to bypass transaction fees. 8. Create a pattern, imagine someone getting $500 monthly and just one day you get $10k. 9. When clients send you money, don't rush to withdraw, it's a bad signal. 10. And much more.

  PayPal has lost its mojo—and the numbers don’t lie. PayPal is losing the world it helped create. Once the undisputed king of online checkout, PayPal is now fighting for relevance in a world it helped create. Its branded checkout growth cratered to just 1% in Q4 2025, a sharp plunge from prior rates around 6% in earlier periods. Overall revenue grew modestly (~4%), but missed estimates, contributing to a brutal stock reaction and ongoing pressure. The Competitive Squeeze: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay are eating PayPal’s lunch, especially with younger, mobile-first users. Seamless, wallet-native experiences on phones are winning over the old “Pay with PayPal” button. Apple Pay is closing the gap fast on U.S. users, and the habit shift is real: fewer shoppers are defaulting to PayPal at checkout. This isn’t just cyclical. PayPal’s active user growth has slowed dramatically (low single digits annually), transaction take rates have declined over the years, and competitors like Stripe are outpacing it in key areas. The digital payments moat PayPal once enjoyed has been commoditized by Big Tech integration and smoother alternatives. Historical Echoes Analysts and longtime observers point to 2002 as a symbolic turning point: 👉the eBay acquisition closed, 👉Peter Thiel exited the same day. What started as a scrappy, innovative disruptor became tied to an auction platform before eventually spinning out. The brand still carries legacy strength, but it lacks the cultural spark and developer momentum of its early days. The AI Pivot: Too Little, Too Late? PayPal is now on a reorganization push under new CEO Enrique Lores, talking up AI, automation, cost savings (~$1.5B targeted), and becoming a “technology company again.” It’s streamlining into three business units and investing in ads, crypto, and Venmo. The big question:👇 Is it enough? Guidance for 2026 has been cautious amid macro headwinds and competition, with shares reacting negatively at times. Execution will be tough against entrenched Big Tech players who control the devices and platforms where payments happen. PayPal still has scale, a strong brand, Venmo, and a massive user base. But “mojo” was about being the default, the innovator, the future. Right now, it feels like a mature company defending turf rather than conquering new ground. The market is watching whether this AI/tech reset can restore growth or if PayPal becomes another fintech cautionary tale—profitable but permanently de-risked and de-rated. What do you think—turnaround story or slow decline? #PayPal #Fintech #Payments

  🇺🇸 Cloudflare shares collapsed by 24%. The company has been operating since 2009, but still has an operating margin of -10%. Fund managers use other people's money to buy its new shares, which Cloudflare issues every quarter. This is about 18% of its revenue, it doesn't even need a break-even point. Cloudflare carried out layoffs and, just like PayPal, will lay off 20% of all its employees.
