  @AskPayPal why are you guys the most thieving, scamming, disgusting subhuman ***** of a company in the world? Is it a company policy to scam people out of money with your broken dogshit of an app and customer service? Thanks for the feedback and I genuinely hope you burn and die

  @PayPal My account was permanently limited and my funds are being held for a claimed link to another account with “unresolved issues.” I do have a second account with no unresolved issues on it. I need a manual review and correction of this error Reference ID: PP-L-815348235140

  PayPal beat Q1 earnings ($8.4B revenue, up 7% YoY) but tanked stock with weak Q2 guidance. The company's down over 80% from its 2021 peak. AI cost-cutting isn't just strategy—it's desperation.

  MR.BEAST is a fraud when it comes to his pay out online games. If he did pay out then he would be sending my PayPal account 4500.00 but not one cent. Any boby else having this problem?

  @NoMooreMercy @gabefollower honestly, they should trace these orders .. the problem is that legit players like me aso have been clicking for 33 minutes for my paypal transaction to work. But maybe it's a certain pattern they can discover with the type of email adresses used, addresses... and if they find it they should brick the controllers by serial number. (but only if they find a very legit way of tracing them)

  @terriblelovebrd Yeah!! It's always the first thing I fill out when placing my glitch orders I wanted to know if there's a specific email I can use to track my payment/order, because for some reason PayPal didn't register it and that worries me ;;;I've never had problems processing payment..

  @LiveSquawk @grok Then why is PayPal down?

  Hunts💎 (@Hunterskingz) reported 24 minutes ago

  Is AI replacing human's workforce? The crypto and payment world is seeing a wave of massive layoffs, and many CEOs are pointing the finger at "AI transition" as the reason. Since Block cut its staff in half earlier this year, big names like Coinbase, PayPal, and Gemini have all followed suit, claiming they need to become "lean" and "AI-native." PayPal, for instance, plans to cut 20% of its team to save $1.5 billion, while 0G Labs recently let go of a quarter of its workers. However, many experts aren't buying the AI excuse. They call it "AI washing", using tech buzzwords to hide basic business struggles. The reality is that #Bitcoin is down significantly from its recent peak, trading is slow, and competition is fierce. Companies like Block simply hired too many people during the boom years, and now they are forced to trim the fat. Investors are reacting with mixed feelings: Block’s stock jumped 38% after their announcement. PayPal saw a 12% dip. Coinbase shares also slid about 4%. Whether these cuts are truly about high-tech efficiency or just a way to survive a tough market remains to be seen. Shared via CoinEx Creator Program. @CoinExCreators #CoinEx #CoinExCreator

  @ecwid Page getting stuck on PayPal, PayPal not working for random people, Apple Pay also not working for everyone. This tells me it’s an Ecwid issue. Been trying to get answers for over a week.

  @oost_marcel @PayPal Growth masked a lot of operational complexity. Now efficiency is forcing companies to actually fix it.

  @PUFFYBRAINn @avipat_ Kled is real: an iOS app that pays users to upload personal photos/videos for AI training data (connects to AI companies, payouts via PayPal/Venmo/Solana). Founder avipat_ posted the Nigeria removal due to ~95% fraud (black screens, duplicates, AI fakes, photoshopped passports like the attached image). Recent posts and app store updates confirm this. Not a lie—high fraud forced the temporary IP ban while they fix detection. Useful for legit users sharing real daily life content.

  @DarrigoMelanie Why is it a mental illness? He is creating value, the man built paypal, tesla, space x, xai, boring, nural link, 100’s of thousands of jobs, countless lives changed, why is it a mental illness? He solves problems that others havent, the wealth is just a byproduct. Are you jealous? Do you feel inferior or insecure? Do you need to lay down ? Need a doctor ? Are you mentally okay ?

  I am getting bullish on $PYPL. I am down big on this one. I bought this position before I went on twitter. It's down 50% for me. But as you have come to know, I don't sell my losers either. Why am I bullish? PYPL is now open to spinning off Venmo. PayPal (the app) and Venmo are the #1 and #2 payment apps on smartphones. Payments are big business and there are a lot of competitors. PayPal has share but is getting beat by Apple and Google. But Venmo has a niche in payments. Small payments, group payments, very small business. It's social and users send money to people versus just businesses. It would be a good fit for somebody. I think that somebody is $CRCL or $COIN.

  @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

  $PYPL (PayPal) Q1 2026 earnings had a tiny profit bump, but the CEO completely dodged questions about selling Venmo and fixing their broken tech. Empty buzzwords don't pay the bills. #FinWitness

  “Pending..0%” → PayPal doesn’t show payments like a loading bar “error loading” → real payment systems don’t display broken phrases like that “recipient needs to purchase $20 authorization key” → completely fake, not a real policy anywhere The layout looks like a mockup or edited screen, not a legit transaction page This is 100% a fake payment screen designed to trick you into sending $20 first.

  PayPal stock down 15% in 2026. Bulls bet on reorganization to reverse losses. Can restructuring save PayPal from the fintech competition? #PayPal #Stocks #Fintech

  TechEdgeDaily (@techedgedaily) reported 54 minutes ago

  @eleliayub @PayPal @AskPayPal Few things that usually fix this fast: – Call PayPal directly instead of waiting on chat or email. Phone support has more authority to release holds. – Upload an invoice or proof of the transaction. PayPal flags transactions that look like they have no context. A simple invoice showing what the $150 was for usually resolves it same day. – Link a bank account if you haven't already. Unverified accounts get flagged more aggressively. – If it keeps happening, switch to Wise or Mercury for freelance payments. Both are built for exactly this and neither treats $150 like a federal crime. PayPal's fraud detection is aggressive by design. It would rather block 100 legitimate transactions than miss one bad one. Doesn't make it less frustrating but knowing why helps fix it faster.

  @PayPal @PayPalUK have really gone down the drain. How are they still a company when Revolut and Wise exist? Just spend 30 minutes trying to get a transaction mislabelled as goods and services reversed (which incurred a very nice 5.5% fee for PayPal) and apparently it’s impossible. Their support lines don’t function (can’t find my account and doesn’t let me put in the “quick code” from their own support page, and I’m only calling because their online form literally does not let me report this transaction without an error) and their employees have no agency so I have no idea what the fees are for. Will gladly use Revolut and Wise for subsequent transactions
