Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

Jordan (@jzrdan) reported@sionster @antibearthesis I’ve been in and out of PayPal, thankfully for profits. Many people seem to agree that a lower price would make it good value based on the P/E. Earnings have plummeted which will be an issue soon resolved, you’re highly unlikely to see a brand like Nike trade at 15 PE.

Ike Clanton (@Kansas_Law_Dawg) reported@MattWalshBlog They got my elderly Dad last year. He thought he was talking to PayPal. Luckily he mentioned it to me after getting off the phone and we were able to quickly shut it down. They had already made some small charges in a few minutes.

Sam Boboev (@samboboev) reportedBREAKING: @PayPal to Cut 20% of Staff Amid Turnaround Push The job eliminations are part of PayPal’s new plans to accelerate its adoption of artificial intelligence and cut costs. The planned reduction would amount to 4,760 positions based on the 23,800 employees PayPal reported having at the end of 2025. The layoffs were reported earlier by Bloomberg. Chief Executive Enrique Lores told investors Tuesday that he thinks PayPal has underinvested in its technology platform and is falling behind other financial services companies. He wants to cut down on what he sees as unnecessary layers of the business to spend more on AI and becoming a technology leader. “PayPal needs to focus,” he said. “We need to recommit to the fundamentals.” Lores, who joined in March after Alex Chriss was ousted, said he wants to trim costs so the company can spend more on putting out new technology. “First, we will remove duplication and layers from our organizational structure. Second, we will accelerate our AI adoption and automation across our operations,” Lores said. Shares are down more than 8% at $45.93 on Tuesday. The cost-cutting efforts are expected to yield, at a minimum, $1.5 billion in gross run-rate savings over the next two to three years, management said. PayPal didn’t specify which areas of the business would see cost reductions. This year and next, PayPal will be rearranging its teams and building new systems and processes to run the business, management said. PayPal’s board brought in Lores, a former chief executive of HP, earlier this year because it was unhappy with “the pace of change” under Chriss. The company had been trying to diversify beyond its checkout business, which had seen growth slow since the pandemic. Lores said his highest priority is the checkout business, which lets customers use PayPal when making purchases with online retailers. He said he sees room for growth in buy now, pay later, as customers are increasingly looking for flexible payment options. His other focuses are financial services, Venmo and payment processing. PayPal reported a lower first-quarter profit of $1.11 billion, or $1.21 a share, compared with a profit of $1.29 billion, or $1.29 a share, a year earlier. Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted earnings were $1.34 a share, ahead of the $1.27 that analysts were expecting, according to FactSet. During his time helming HP, Lores became known for streamlining the tech company and pivoting it toward AI and subscriptions. Paypal’s cost-cutting effort marks the second major initiative under Lores. Last week, PayPal said it would reorganize into three business units: Checkout Solutions & PayPal, Consumer Financial Services & Venmo, and Payment Services & Crypto. Source: Wall Street Journal

Johnny Chaos (@ccfxstudios) reportedSure except the part where stables have admin keys and they can be frozen or disabled with no notice. Crypto space is broken when they think that's what crypto is. Where is the freedom? Want to send dollars we have that, PayPal, venmo, and cash app. You can do all that from your phone as well.

Craig McNeal (@CraigMcnealc) reportedMost people meet Elon Musk at the outcome and completely miss the origin story. At 12, he coded and sold a video game (Blastar). As a young founder, he built Zip2, got acquired, then helped create PayPal only to be pushed out before its biggest moment. Instead of playing it safe, he put nearly everything back on the line: pouring his own money into SpaceX and Tesla, Inc. when both were burning cash and on the edge of failure. In 2008, rockets were exploding, Tesla was weeks from collapse, and he was down to his last reserves choosing between keeping one company alive or letting both go. Most would’ve folded. He doubled down. That same persistence later powered reusable rockets landing themselves and made electric vehicles unavoidable. This wasn’t luck. It wasn’t smooth. It was pressure, risk, doubt and a refusal to stop building. He didn’t begin as unstoppable. He became unstoppable by staying in the fight longer than anyone expected. Start where you are. Stay longer than it’s comfortable. Build anyway. 🚀

Pagan (@Pagan_GMR) reported@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.

Eve ♡ (@EvesApplePie) reported@oboroboroo I had the same issue with pins and I basically had to email them multiple times and was like I want a new update or my money back. If you paid with paypal, you can get it back if you didn't get a tracking. And she sent it two days later.

Franc Hudi (@franc_hudi) reported@askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.

Hölle auf Erden 🏴🇩🇪🇩🇰🇨🇦🇺🇦 (@Sunking278) reportedWow, life is thoroughly beating me down just now. Someone hacked my PayPal account and spent more than $1,000, leaving me with next to nothing, and on top of that I am spectacularly ill. Vomiting, sweating, shivering, every bone aching, my voice completely gone, and I cannot even stand up straight. The sickness has eased somewhat with plenty of water, ginger ale, and no food, but I remain in an absolute stupor and have not felt quite this dreadful in some time. If I may humbly ask for your prayers, that I recover the money and that whatever is going on with my health proves to be only a temporary blip. Blessings to each of you.
