  you can pre-sell a product that doesn't exist yet, use the money to build it, and deliver it 2 weeks later. this sounds like a scam. it's how every software company, every course creator, and every successful launch in history actually works step 1: post about the problem you're going to solve. for 5-7 days. "here's what most people get wrong about X." "here's what i'd include if i built the ultimate guide to X." "who would want a step-by-step breakdown of exactly how i did X" step 2: count the replies. the DMs. the "me" comments. that's your pre-sale audience. they just told you they want it before it exists step 3: post "i'm building this. it'll be ready in 2 weeks. first 20 people get it at $27 instead of $47. DM me to lock in the early price" step 4: collect payment. through gumroad, stripe, paypal. whatever. the money arrives. now you have a funded deadline. the product isn't built yet. the motivation isn't an idea anymore. it's money sitting in your account from people who are waiting step 5: build it. in 2 weeks. the deadline is real because people paid. the pressure produces better work than 6 months of "getting it perfect" because perfection has no deadline and deadlines have no room for perfection step 6: deliver it. collect testimonials. screenshot the reactions. those screenshots sell the next batch at $47 without you having to convince anyone because the proof already exists from round one you just launched a product with zero inventory. zero risk. zero upfront cost. funded entirely by the people who bought it before it existed. the "scam" is actually the lowest-risk business model available because the market validated the idea with money before you spent a single hour building it

  @lql_00 Gosh that sucks, really sorry to hear that. This is seriously not okay at all, so many I heard having this issue unfortunately. I hope you can get it resolved asap. If you paid with PayPal under 6 months, try filing a refund through PayPal!!

  I don’t use PayPal Goods & Services because funds can be held for a long time and I’ve had issues with chargebacks in the past I prefer payment methods that don’t put either side through lengthy disputes

  PAYPAL $PYPL: WE NAMED THE WRONG CATALYST AND THE STOCK ROSE 39% ANYWAY: PayPal $PYPL at $58.85 (after hours), -$0.22 / -0.37% from Monday's $59.07 close. On June 22 this account put the San Jose payments network on the Deep-Value and Special-Situations Len5 at roughly $42.51, near 8x earnings, and named its catalyst: the 2026 reorganization into three units, with a re-rate to 12-15x as the case. Monday's close sits +$16.56 / +38.9% above that quote. The re-rate arrived. The stated reason did not. Where the move came from: on July 15, privately held Stripe and private-equity firm Advent International made an unsolicited joint offer at $60.50 a share - more than $53B, backed by about $50B of committed bank financing. The stock went $47.37 to $55.52 in one session, +$8.15 / +17.2%. That one day is 49% of everything gained since June. The offer is still unsolicited and unaccepted: no formal response from PayPal, no signed merger agreement, no closing date. The thesis check, on the July 28 print for the June quarter. Total payment volume - the dollars moving through its systems - $486.4B, +10%; net revenue $8.68B, +5%. But transaction margin dollars, what PayPal keeps from each payment after the cost of moving it, rose 1% to $3.9B (+3% ex-interest on customer balances). GAAP EPS $1.25, -3% YoY; adjusted EPS - profit per share with some items stripped - $1.38 vs about $1.28 modeled, still -1% YoY. Volume grew ten times faster than the profit line the cheap-multiple argument rested on. The reorganization is real - announced April 29, live June 2 - and has not reached the profit line. So the multiple moved without the earnings: near 11x on roughly $5.38 of guided full-year adjusted EPS, up from ~8x in June and most of the way to the 12-15x that note wanted - delivered by a bidder. The tape carries the bid's shape too: $1.43 / 2.4% up to the offer, against $11.70 / 19.8% back to the $47.37 paid the day before the news. Len5 read, all six files opened this pass. Quality-Value carries PayPal, twenty-eighth on its ranked list - that style wants a durable franchise at a fair price, and 439M active accounts plus $6.0B of buybacks over twelve months is the durable half; a signed deal at $60.50 retires the question. The Deep-Value and Special-Situations file reads as of August 4 and does not carry it - an unsigned bid is an event you cannot underwrite; a definitive agreement with a close date changes that. Momentum, Growth, and Hypergrowth are no on one fact: mid-single-digit revenue with earnings down is neither a breakout nor growth at any price. Reaccelerating transaction margin moves it. Income is out on mechanics - no dividend, buyback only. One name rising says nothing about a way of reading the market - only about that name. The stock got its re-rate. The reorganization has not earned one, and only one of those two things can be taken back by a press release.

  @EnriqueJLores @PayPal We did $1.5 million/year via PayPal and 1.5 via Stripe until PayPal stopped sending us SMS login codes. Three calls over three weeks with PayPal support did not solve it. I unblocked all blocked numbers, O2 did an investigation and reported they're not blocking shortcodes and our account is working well and still able to receive money. Also waiting 72 hours before re-trying login (to reset the "you were deemed a "risk of hacking") doesn't work. So now we do 3 million/year with Stripe.. Support told us every time they'd let Dublin contact us but that never happened. Perhaps you can help us?

  @mattbird55 Agree I’ve been waiting for the PayPal loyalty plus rollout this summer and it appears to be pushed back. I’m guessing the slow execution in so many areas may be tied to upgrading the tech stack. They may want this fixed more first before a big new marketing push with PayPal loyalty plus. Lores wants the sequencing done correctly.

  @jaggedmaven this is a pretty large rant, but: i cannot run nightshade because getting an @AMDRadeon was my worse mistake this year. i found some of my stuff in some datasets that are widely used for ai training, so i cannot actually post anything without poisoning it, and i cant do it. and i have yet to set even a workflow to get the comissions running, i need to use USDT or USDC, that is my ONLY choice, and im kinda discouraged due fanbox and subscribestar are also not viable because @Wise would just let me down by its own rules, that somehow are above any involved country laws, and using paypal is just begging to be robbed. so by the time i solve my problems i'll face unfair competition by some ai dude profiting from my own effort if i continue posting, but if i dont post more often my reach will be buried into oblivion.

  @johnofhousejohn I think it's a combo. Plugins being purchased by PE and devs rapid releasing. We had an issue with The Events Calendar Tickets. Literally couldn't setup PayPal. I may not like PayPal but they are a top online payments processor. Setting it up shouldn't be broken...
