Hasan_edits23 (@GwHasan) reportedI got hit with a 200 Dollers PayPal lien by a US client 🤯 Sounds scary, right? But honestly this experience reminded me of something I'll never forget entire my life Hear me out guys Few weeks ago , I started working with a new client and the biggest issue what we are facing wasn't the work Yes yess you heard me right It was communication So the client was not very active , so we couldn't discuss feedback properly. Because of that, video revisions kept getting delayed, deadlines started slipping, and eventually our contract was canceled.🥲 To make things worse, I got a $200 PayPal lien. At that moment, I could not blamed the client. Or neither I just walked away Instead, I reached out. I explained my side of the story, listened to theirs, and gave them time to think And then .. Something completely unexpected happened. They finally removed the $200 PayPal lien So the lesson is : Not every problem needs a fight. Sometimes, it just needs a conversation ✨

Ryan (@Gelassoldat) reportedI've been putting off writing this. Asking for help in public is not something I ever wanted to do. But I have a two year old and a four month old, and pride doesn't pay rent. Yesterday we got an eviction notice. We were two days late. Ten days to pay or we're out. Rent is just under $1,700. The apartment manager will work with us if we can put something toward it. My contract pay comes in weekly and I'm putting what I can spare from it straight into rent. Every dollar paid reduces what's owed, and whatever's left gets added on top of September and October rent, which we already can't cover, so paying it down now is the only thing that keeps this from getting worse. Here's how we got here. Our baby was born in April. My wife has had health complications since the birth and hasn't been able to return to work. Her maternity leave and short term disability have both run out. She's seeing a doctor this month, because right now she physically can't do her job, and we have no family in this city to help with the kids. Childcare costs more than we're bringing in. I lost my mom at the end of February. I still haven't had a real chance to sit with that. I've been job hunting since January. Locally I keep hearing I'm overqualified, and I get it, they assume I'll leave the moment something better shows up. I've applied for customer service roles I've done before and gotten nowhere. I've made it to final rounds more times than I want to count and walked away with nothing. I had another interview yesterday and gave it everything I had. On top of that, her company had payroll problems for months. We eventually got everything she was owed, but it came weeks and months late, and I took out loans to keep us afloat in the meantime. Those payments are still hitting every month. I did find contract work. It doesn't cover our bills, but I'm working extended hours and taking what I can get. Before posting this I called the community action agency, RIFA, Area Relief Ministries, the Red Cross, and 211. The rent assistance funding here ran dry back in March. There is nothing left in the local pipeline to catch us. We're going to have to move, either somewhere much cheaper or in with family in another state. What I need right now is to get through this month without my kids losing their home. I've asked family. Now I'm asking here. If you're able to help with rent, you can send it straight through X Money, Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal in the first reply Any amount helps, and it goes directly toward keeping my kids in this apartment. If you can't, that's alright. Sharing this so it reaches someone who can would mean just as much. And if all you did was read this far into a stranger's worst month, that mattered too. Thank you.

Grayson (@euini_) reported@tainted_ashes @PayPal It sucks so bad because this is how I make a living. I’ve been doing this for three years now and had no issues, and they blocked me out of nowhere. It’s ridiculous that this happens so often in the art community. 😩🫠

Carmen Lucero (@CarmenLucero14) reported@THE_TNT_TEAM Hi Tony, I can’t get past the first page because it says that my email is already registered. I was having issues with Zelle, so I went to my bank. Waiting for them to fix the problem. Is there another way for me to pay? PayPal works well for me to send money. Please advise.

Puff | 🌱 SHADOWBRINGERS (@TheReal1000Gex) reported@lalafellian Yeah I mean maybe if you installed from steam initially it won't be an issue, but since I directly got the ft from sqex and then bought it off of steam bcs mogstation doesn't accept PayPal, I had to reinstall everything on top of having to redo my controller schematics

Cai Co (@CaiCo87) reported@PayPal PayPal is a terrible service that facilitates fraud and does nothing about it. They’ll give the company who commits fraud until the end of the year to respond, by which point nothing will be done even when there is clear evidence of fraud. They profit off of it.

You lose the discount too, not just the fare 🔸 Enter the code correctly — miss it and there's no retroactive fix Read the fine print before you hit book.

AFRICA IS HOME GLOBAL (@AfricaisHOME2) reportedPayPal is putting explicit revenue targets on its three core units as new CEO Enrique Lores reviews the company’s strategy and pushes for faster execution. In April the payments firm reorganized around Checkout Solutions and PayPal, Consumer Financial Services and Venmo, and Payment Services and Crypto, with a single leader for each business to cut duplication and speed decisions. Lores said the goal is to sharpen focus, simplify operations and get closer to consumers after years of slower growth and margin pressure. The company has also set a cost savings target of at least 1.5 billion dollars over the next two to three years through AI, process redesign and structural realignment, with the savings reinvested into growth initiatives. For 2026 management is guiding to transaction margin dollars roughly flat to slightly down excluding interest, 3 percent growth in non transaction operating expenses, and non GAAP EPS in a range between slightly negative and slightly positive. The reset comes as PayPal tries to diversify beyond its traditional checkout business and rebuild momentum in higher margin areas. In Q1 2026 revenue rose 7 percent to 8.35 billion dollars and total payment volume grew 11 percent to 464 billion dollars, with Venmo and Braintree both delivering mid teens TPV growth and buy now pay later and pay with Venmo volumes up 23 percent and 34 percent. Q2 showed continued strength in those same units, with transaction margin dollars up 1 percent and up 3 percent excluding interest on customer balances, prompting the company to raise its full year outlook for TM dollars and EPS. Lores is emphasizing financial services as the largest driver of future TM dollar growth, expanding Venmo into a fuller financial platform, scaling PYUSD stablecoin which is now the largest federally regulated stablecoin, and partnering in AI commerce with Microsoft and others. At the same time the company returned 1.5 billion dollars to shareholders in the quarter and started a 14 cent quarterly dividend, while warning that macro pressure in Europe and competition from Big Tech and fintechs will keep the near term environment tough. - World Business News.
