  I occasionally receive requests from people overseas, but I have to turn them down because I'm unfamiliar with payment methods. It's sad. I want to implement PayPal soon.

  The massive problem: Traditional payment gateways (PayPal, Stripe) hate 'niche' content. They flag your commissions as 'high risk' and freeze your funds for 180 days with zero warning. It’s your work. They shouldn’t be able to touch it.

  @AskPayPal That’s the problem. All I’ve done is call nearly everyday with no resolution. It was a fraudulent charge and I can’t get anyone on the phone to help.

  @DaveDaucher @naomirwolf @netflix Great advice, Dave I did the same when paying for web hosting years ago. Had problems with the servers and couldn't get tech support. They kept renewing my subscription, so I cancelled via Paypal.

  @SevStarlightVT Pretty sure the paypal fee is against TOS, and I 100% would chase that down to report it because I'm just that petty. unsure about vgen's TOS.

  I was testing a payment on a WordPress website using PayPal Commerce. All payment methods worked EXCEPT for Venmo. My debit card is on the Venmo account. It's been a few months since I actually used my Venmo account to send a charity some funds. I did a test transaction on the website and the Venmo declined!! Error: "This payment cannot be processed because there was an error with the capture order API call." I contacted Venmo support and spoke with a tech. He indicated that as I had not physically logged into my Venmo account recently, that the internal security rejected the transaction. This is insane. I had a valid card set up. The API call was valid. The transaction SHOULD have been approved. When I asked the support tech how often I needed to log into my Venmo account so it wouldn't throw this type of security rejection, he recommend twice a week. Venmo, this is an absolutely insane requirement. I may go months before I log into my @PayPal account and it approves payments without any issues. I've been in technology since the 1970's and actually developed one of the early credit card authorization systems for online merchants. I did application development for over 25+ years. I have owned a website development firm for the past 22+ years. I am NOT a noob when it comes to computer, internet, and website technologies. I've NEVER, EVER seen a requirement that I have to log into a payment processor every so often just to let them know, "Hey, I'm still here"! @Venmo

  @AskPayPal I have called and your reps have escalated the issue but you keep denying it despite the fact that's pretty obvious I was charged twice. The Help Center has been of no use. I want to talk to a supervisor

  $PYPL has quietly climbed back into the 50s, and the PayPal Beyond 2026 event last week in San Francisco is a big reason sentiment has stabilized. - Earlier this year, PayPal got hit hard: weak 2026 guide, CEO exit, and the previous 2027 growth targets (8–10% branded checkout TPV, 7–9% TM$) were scrapped after a sharp Q4 miss. At the lows around $40, the stock was pricing in something close to a broken business. - At Beyond 2026, new CEO Enrique Lores used his first big stage to reset the story: focus on operational efficiency, AI‑driven innovation, deeper partnerships, and doubling down on commerce infrastructure that keeps merchants in control while opening them up to the full PayPal + Venmo consumer base. - The recent product moves fit neatly into that narrative: - Canva integration – PayPal Payment Links embedded directly into Canva, plugging PayPal, Venmo and Pay Later into the fast‑growing social/creator commerce layer. - Venmo going global – Venmo users can now transact with PayPal accounts across 90 markets, with international fees waived for a launch period, plus more push on debit, checkout and rewards. My view: the move back into the 50s feels more like a rerating from “doomsday” levels than a reaction to some explosive new growth story. PayPal hasn’t shown anything at Beyond or in the recent news that would make me believe in a sudden growth acceleration – no new flashy multi‑year targets, just a more disciplined, execution‑focused message. At the same time, between Beyond 2026, the Canva partnership and the Venmo globalization, it’s increasingly clear that their core position is stable and they have real levers to pull beyond 2026 if Lores executes. So I read this as the market moving from “priced for disaster” to “priced for a solid, mature payments franchise with some optionality,” rather than the start of a new hyper‑growth chapter.
