  People think I was built to help people sell things they do not want anymore. That’s not why I survived. I survived because I solved a much stranger problem: how do you get two total strangers, who live thousands of kilometres apart and will never meet, to trust each other with their money? Before I launched on 3 September 1995 as AuctionWeb, buying something from a person in another country required institutional trust. You bought from a brand, a store, or a corporation. If an individual wanted to sell a used laser pointer to a stranger, the transaction usually died in the cradle. Why would the buyer send money first? Why would the seller ship the item first? So what did I actually invent? I didn't invent online auctions. I invented a cheap, self policing reputation system. By letting buyers and sellers rate each other after every transaction, I turned trust into a public score. Suddenly, misbehaving on a $10 transaction cost you the ability to make money on future transactions. The score became an asset. That single feedback loop lowered transaction costs so dramatically that a massive, latent global market for second hand goods instantly materialised. Does that mean I created a perfect market? No. I created an information game. Because I don't hold the inventory, I don't inspect the goods, and I don't ship the packages. I'm a protocol masquerading as a marketplace. I collect a fee on the listing and a fee on the final value, which means my profit margin is extraordinary, but my operational risk is shifted entirely onto the participants. When a seller lies about the condition of a collectible, or a buyer claims a box arrived empty, I'm forced to step in as a pseudo judicial system. But because human dispute resolution doesn't scale at the speed of software, I automated the justice system. Algorithms evaluate risk and freeze funds. That creates a distinct structural shift. To protect the buyer and keep the network growing, I eventually had to strip away the wild, unregulated peer to peer charm that made me famous. I forced sellers to accept standard return policies, integrated mandatory payment processors like PayPal, and favoured high volume commercial sellers over ordinary people clearing out their attics. So what am I now? I started as a digital flea market where people discovered rare items. I evolved into a friction free clearinghouse for global surplus goods, refurbished electronics, and commercial inventory. The very reputation score that made me possible eventually became a barrier to entry. New sellers can't easily compete with commercial entities that have 50,000 positive reviews, and small casual sellers get squeezed by automated fraud controls designed for high volume trade. I proved that humans are far more trustworthy than conventional economics assumed, provided you build a system that records their history. But to keep that trust operating across hundreds of millions of transactions, I had to replace the personal human connections with cold, automated oversight. In the end, I didn't just digitise the yard sale. I proved that if you give people a score, they'll build a global economy for you. I started as AuctionWeb. Today, I'm known as ebay. #eBay #eBaySeller #Reselling

  @James_Jordan @bet365 Oops can’t * (not can in my previous tweet). Yeah the withdrawal likely has to go back to the manual card entered. Fix = deposit with Apple Pay again then withdraw (will force it back to Apple pay). Or just use PayPal for $5 and then you can withdraw back to PayPal.

  @linuxuser1996 @flexfree27 Why its not the same? Before I deleted my account on this datacollecting App I just used browser without problems. The difference is browser is more private and more anonymity. Paypal is ****, they refused me giving a (full) data copy on DSGVO standards. Everyone should delete

  PayPal Slumps After Buyout Talks Collapse: What Just Happened & Why It Matters PayPal just lost its lifeline — and the stock got obliterated. Stripe and Advent International walked away from a $53 billion buyout. The stock crashed 12-17% in a single session, from $62 to $52. JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley had committed the money. Now it's dead. What Actually Happened In July, Stripe and Advent offered $60.50 per share — a 28% premium. PayPal's board wanted $70. The deal died. Talks revived in mid-August. Then on August 27, Bloomberg dropped the bomb: collapsed for good. The stock went from $62 to $50.98 in pre-market. A $10 billion wipeout before breakfast. Why They Walked Away - Price gap: PayPal wanted $70, buyers offered $60.50. Too far apart. - Regulatory risk: A combined Stripe-PayPal would process $3.7 trillion annually. The FTC and EU would force divestitures of Braintree or Venmo. Why the Market Crushed the Stock PayPal's entire rally this quarter was built on deal hope. The stock was up 40%+ since June. Not because earnings were great — because investors thought Stripe would rescue them. Now? The rescue is gone. And PayPal has to face ugly reality: - Revenue growing just 4% - Active accounts flat at 439 million - The "PayPal button" moat eroding as Apple Pay and Google Pay take over The stock fell back to pre-rumor levels. All the deal premium? Evaporated. What PayPal Actually Is Today - Market cap: ~$52 billion (was $360 billion in 2021) - Revenue: $33.2 billion, growing 4% - Free cash flow: $6.4 billion - Stock: From $300+ in 2021 to $52 today This is a company that prints cash but can't grow. It processes nearly $2 trillion in payments but trades at 8-10x earnings. The market sees terminal decline. The Fintech Valuation Warning Stripe is worth $159 billion private. PayPal is $52 billion public. Yet PayPal processes similar volume and generates $6 billion in free cash flow. The difference? Stripe is growing. PayPal is not. Investors pay 50x revenue for growth. They pay 8x earnings for stagnation. PayPal is the latter. If the original fintech giant trades like a utility, what does that mean for every other fintech unicorn? What Investors Should Watch 1. Don't chase M&A rumors — PayPal rallied 40% on deal hope, gave it all back in a day. 2. Fintech ETFs are risky — ARKF, FINX hold PayPal. When the bellwether collapses, the whole basket suffers. 3. Indian fintech fundraising gets harder — Paytm, PhonePe, Razorpay watch this closely. If PayPal trades at 8x earnings, why should Indian fintechs trade at 30x? Bottom Line PayPal went from "takeover target" to "turnaround story" overnight. The $53 billion bid proved it has value. The collapse proved that value isn't enough. For 20 years, PayPal was the king of online payments. Today, it's a $52 billion company fighting for relevance. When your best hope is getting acquired and even that fails, you have a problem. The fintech graveyard is full of companies that were once "too big to fail." PayPal isn't there yet. But it's walking in that direction. Is PayPal a value trap at $52, or a genuine bargain?

  @Safaricom_Care @SafaricomPLC we need to understand where our money is disappearing to since you don’t want to clarify what the problem is. It has now been over a week and nothing. On @PayPal money was transferred but it is only your app that says it’s pending ffs
