  @drewwash @braintree @PayPal Same thing happened to us. Double and triple charges for transactions that were processed for subscription renewal through Braintree on Aug 27th. I have been in touch with support. They acknowledged the issue, and responded that the investigation and recovery planning is going.

  @Adiofreak Long story short, stop reporting your account to paypal. It's not your problem to worry about. Who cares? It sounds like you dug yourself into this hole.

  I find it interesting PayPal fell ~13% this week after Stripe & Advent walked away from their $60.50/share takeover bid. At ~$54, $PYPL now trades at roughly: ~10x 2026 adjusted earnings ~8x adjusted FCF I think that is interesting because PayPal doesn’t need to return to high growth for the maths to work. Management is guiding to ~$5.38 of adjusted EPS and $6bn+ of adjusted FCF, while also planning roughly $6bn of buybacks this year. They’ve already reduced shares outstanding from ~920m to ~862m in six months. So even if total earnings barely grow, continued buybacks can still drive EPS higher. On current EPS alone: 10x = ~$54 12x = ~$65 15x = ~$81 If earnings hold up, buybacks continue and the market eventually decides PayPal deserves something closer to 15x earnings, you don’t need heroic growth assumptions to get a good return. Michael Burry has also argued the $60.50 offer was too low, putting his own lower-end intrinsic value estimate around $75–80, with a takeover value potentially closer to $100. So my thesis is: “Can PayPal protect its moat, keep generating ~$6bn of FCF, aggressively retire shares and eventually earn a less pessimistic multiple?” If yes, management's decision to turn down ~$60.50 could look like a great move!

  US STOCKS FALL AFTER WARSH SIGNALS POSSIBLE RATE HIKES Remarks by Fed Chair Kevin Warsh dominated Wall Street Friday.: “It was a down day for US equities, but a winning week. This after Fed Chair Kevin Warsh admitted the need for rate hikes if inflation doesn't cool soon. Company new stock in PayPal fell sharply as Stripe and Advent walked away from a $50 billion buyout deal. The chipmaker Marvel Technology was down. As its results underwhelmed the street, even though they had 37% revenue growth, Gap shares jumped with a new veteran CEO appointed to run the Old Navy division, and next week, earnings from Broadcom, Dell, and Lululemon, and the August jobs report is out next Friday.

  PayPal is supposed to be the old payments company. Stripe was willing to pay more than $53 billion for it. PayPal still has 439 million active accounts and processed $486 billion in payment volume last quarter. My read: Stripe wasn't trying to buy better payment software. It was trying to buy something much harder to build from scratch. Distribution. You can replace checkout software. You can build better APIs. Getting hundreds of millions of accounts to already know your name, trust the button and have a payment method attached is a different problem. Stripe and Advent eventually walked away from the bid. But the attempt itself says something. Sometimes disruption kills the product long before it kills the network around it.

  $PYPL down 16% in premarket. Stripe and Advent are abandoning their attempt to acquire PayPal. They had offered $60.50 per share more than $53 billion in order to adquire the company.

  @BullTheoryio PayPal turned down over $50 billion thinking the buyers would raise their number, and instead the whole thing just disappeared. Now the stock is down 12% and that massive LBO never happened. Feels like they misread how serious the other side was about walking

  $PYPL — PayPal Holdings Stripe + Advent's ~$50B buyout bid has collapsed (Bloomberg). Shares down 12-15% premarket — a takeover-premium unwind, not an earnings problem. P/E: ~10x, back near the sub-8.5x all-time floor (hit Q1 2026). Business is unchanged — the acquirer walked.

  @mauerstrasse I think app could be a good shopping destination, if there was a way to add item to basket and immediately pay with PayPal button. Unfortunately lots of friction. Home page looks terrible, but the backend works very well. Would like to think I could design better homepage.

  What happened today? (28 August) 1. PayPal ($PYPL ): reports that the Advent/Stripe consortium walked away from takeover talks sent shares plunging as much as 14%. Although some analysts flagged factors that could support a rebound, I am always going to call it the beautiful PainPal. 2. Marvell ($MRVL ) posted a strong quarter but shares fell as much as 8% and headed for their worst day in a month, with investors fixated on delayed timing of the Google AI deal revenue. 3. Fed rate-path uncertainty spiked after Kevin Warsh's hawkish comments pushed hike odds higher, turning the September decision into a coin flip. Market went green regardless but it did not sustain that long and we saw a delayed reaction to Fed’s comments. 4. Retail earnings were mixed but skewed positive: Gap/Old Navy parent $GAP jumped as much as 15% on an 11th straight quarter of comp-sales growth, while Walmart ($WMT ) quietly settled a federal opioid lawsuit without disclosing terms. Good news for $GAP is good news for $ZETA 5. Software seems officially back. Autodesk ($ADSK) raised guidance on strong Q2 revenue growth and Salesforce ($CRM) jumped on a Q2 beat, while Rubrik ($RBRK) sold off as investors questioned its results. 6. Amazon ($AMZN) gained about 4% after Evercore argued agentic AI could boost its retail growth outlook. 7. Eli Lilly ($LLY) got an FDA nod expanding Mounjaro's use for heart risk reduction. 8. Take-Two ($TTWO) landed a Netflix tie-in ahead of GTA VI. Netflix servers went down briefly as gamers flooded to watch the trailer. RATE HIKE and VIX SPIKE MIGHT BE COMING FOR US THIS SEPTEMBER.

  Michael Burry went public on PayPal 134 days ago. The stock is still +9% from that call. On July 15, $PYPL jumped 17% on buyout rumors. That same day Burry called the offer “simply too low.” Last night, Stripe and Advent International walked away from the takeover. $PYPL is down ~11–12% today — and Burry is still ahead.

  @Adiofreak @PayPal Honestly this sounds like a problem you started. Honestly what is the actual problem. Sounds like people are trolling you with donations and you are overreacting. Then you are blaming paypal, for "problems" that you created. Living with you must be a nightmare.
