FindleysFinance (@FindleysFinance) reportedTruthfully, I'm a $PYPL bear. I think this is a business with a declining model and they seem to squeeze every ounce of margin out of their customers, rather than growing their customer base. However, $PYPL does look cheap today. On a 5 year DCF, if Paypal can achieve: - Earnings Growth of 4% - Growth Decay of 5% - P/E of 10 - Discount Rate of 10% - Annual share repurchase of 4.77% Then the business could realistically return a 14% CAGR to share price. The question isn't wether the business is cheap or not, rather, is it a cigar butt, or a slow grower?

Turnx (@heisturnx) reported@Collette001 @john322226 Create PayPal Open @paga account and connect your PayPal through paga But your first payment you'll have to fill and confirm. If you didn't get it right. That's where you'll have issue.

m (@terriblelovebrd) reported@SsSw33tt Ugh yeah PayPal often freezes accounts over big transactions and holds stuff because they’re sensitive like that. Did you enter an email when you ordered? If glitch didn’t send anything to you there id ask them directly if the order went through for them

Hunts💎 (@Hunterskingz) reportedIs 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

HimenoArts 2D Animator (@HimenoSensei) reported@MANKYOX_ @KoudaTune also if the commission is NSFW related you will get trouble if client report it as it was a nsfw commission. stripe and paypal are banning nsfw services , so getting another payment option if you do sell nsfw stuff avoid paypal and stripe i guess

Meadhbh (@MeadhbhXIV) reported@BunBoy_Tsu Did this person really buy the account? Like, is there actual proof of it? When going down a rabbit hole with their socials, they still link to fashionista-adjacent links. Even their paypal which they heavily promote, is tied to fashionista.

***** baggins (@strongbadegirl) reported@SweatieAngle ill just give you my paypal login

BabyofAfrica® (@BabyofAfrica) reported@PayPal, I am extremely dissatisfied with your service. I have forgotten my password, and the response I received is unacceptable. Your support is not available late, nor do you provide a chat assistant for account-related issues. 🙄 Now, I have to wait until tomorrow to complete a transfer. This is absurd.

CryptoSmind (@SmindCrypto) reportedPayPal has lost its mojo—and the numbers don’t lie. PayPal is losing the world it helped create. Once the undisputed king of online checkout, PayPal is now fighting for relevance in a world it helped create. Its branded checkout growth cratered to just 1% in Q4 2025, a sharp plunge from prior rates around 6% in earlier periods. Overall revenue grew modestly (~4%), but missed estimates, contributing to a brutal stock reaction and ongoing pressure. The Competitive Squeeze: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay are eating PayPal’s lunch, especially with younger, mobile-first users. Seamless, wallet-native experiences on phones are winning over the old “Pay with PayPal” button. Apple Pay is closing the gap fast on U.S. users, and the habit shift is real: fewer shoppers are defaulting to PayPal at checkout. This isn’t just cyclical. PayPal’s active user growth has slowed dramatically (low single digits annually), transaction take rates have declined over the years, and competitors like Stripe are outpacing it in key areas. The digital payments moat PayPal once enjoyed has been commoditized by Big Tech integration and smoother alternatives. Historical Echoes Analysts and longtime observers point to 2002 as a symbolic turning point: 👉the eBay acquisition closed, 👉Peter Thiel exited the same day. What started as a scrappy, innovative disruptor became tied to an auction platform before eventually spinning out. The brand still carries legacy strength, but it lacks the cultural spark and developer momentum of its early days. The AI Pivot: Too Little, Too Late? PayPal is now on a reorganization push under new CEO Enrique Lores, talking up AI, automation, cost savings (~$1.5B targeted), and becoming a “technology company again.” It’s streamlining into three business units and investing in ads, crypto, and Venmo. The big question:👇 Is it enough? Guidance for 2026 has been cautious amid macro headwinds and competition, with shares reacting negatively at times. Execution will be tough against entrenched Big Tech players who control the devices and platforms where payments happen. PayPal still has scale, a strong brand, Venmo, and a massive user base. But “mojo” was about being the default, the innovator, the future. Right now, it feels like a mature company defending turf rather than conquering new ground. The market is watching whether this AI/tech reset can restore growth or if PayPal becomes another fintech cautionary tale—profitable but permanently de-risked and de-rated. What do you think—turnaround story or slow decline? #PayPal #Fintech #Payments
