Believer (@GinaP1forChrist) reported@Venmo Your app is not allowing me to put in my deposits to verify my bank account, not allowing me to add a new debit card! Customer service is poor and could not help at all! Terrible! @paypal @venmo

poofey one 🇺🇦🌊🕊️☮️💙🌈 (@poofeyone) reported@AskPayPal Why are there so many problems trying to access my PayPal cash back Mastercard? I spent 20 minutes on the phone with a representative filing a dispute today and yet I haven't received an email about it and can't find any information documenting that I filed this dispute! This has become a horrible, horrible experience!

KWealth (@koresco24) reported@aye_pete @teddi_speaks “Why is it always Nigerians banned from every useful service? PayPal? banned. Stripe" Yet Nigerians living in the West use these same platforms without any issues. Did they suddenly stop being Nigerians?
-
The Useful Investor (@ANbrownDY99) reported$PYPL is somehow under investigation in relation to “breaching” Uk anti competition laws along with $V and $MA Not sure how @PayPal is an issue here? Seems like there is loads of digital wallet competition. The #FCA have no clue as usual.

TheRealHarleyXO (@RealHarleyBby_x) reported“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.

Ryzi3 (@Ryzi3_) reportedThis drama led to the Inkystara PayPal refund issue. I was a client, and the artist took the comm despite how they viewed me. After sending the work on Twitter I was blocked on multiple social. If they felt that way they should've declined the comm upfront and left it at that

0xfr0han (@tech_aarohan) reported@nobelprimal just use khalti; you can issue invoices via stripe; for paypal; the workaround is you just create account; dont link bank; let the money deposit; pay a small commission to middleman to retrieve in bulk

Israel Jan (@IsraelJan88661) reported@PayPal will always close down African accounts just for receiving 50 dollars for a service you have worked for and earned it.

︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ (@SsSw33tt) reportedI just want to know if anyone else has experienced something like this. My bank told me to wait a few days, and I just emailed glitch too... I've never had problems with PayPal before or glitch store It seems that Glitch Store does have a GLITCH😝😝😝😝 (I'M CRYING)

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.

XIX Value ⚡ (@XIX_Value) reported$PYPL PayPal Q1 2026 results were released Stock down roughly 10% today despite revenue $8.35B (+7% YoY vs. $8.05B expected), adjusted EPS $1.34 against $1.27 consensus, TPV up 11% to $464B But management guided an adjusted EPS decline of roughly 9% YoY for next quarter Full-year guide was reiterated, not raised The structural picture keeps deteriorating: operating margin compressed 182 bps, GAAP net income fell 14%, active accounts were flat sequentially at 439M, and transactions per active account slipped 1% But for me the bull case isn't dead, Lores announced a $1.5B cost-reduction program and a three-segment reorganization that clearly sets up a possible Venmo spin-off Stock trades at 9x earnings with strong FCF and $1.5B in buybacks this quarter Thesis is about execution and corporate action, not growth I hold my initial position $PYPL

U (@Uzwzp63636) reported@Fiat_iceberg Paypal did meet expectations still down 10%

Plane biker (@urbanavgeek) reported@BennyFrank1783 @unusual_whales I guess since "good businesses" are moving out, bad businesses move in. Like JP Morgan (3-4 billion office building). Amex 10,000 jobs announced in Feb. Google, Amazon, PayPal, OpenAI. All terrible companies that are expanding in NYC. Blatantly apparent you know fuckall.
