  @mattbird55 Agree I’ve been waiting for the PayPal loyalty plus rollout this summer and it appears to be pushed back. I’m guessing the slow execution in so many areas may be tied to upgrading the tech stack. They may want this fixed more first before a big new marketing push with PayPal loyalty plus. Lores wants the sequencing done correctly.

  someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  Got all three days and learned some HORRIBLE lessons about yes24… Just use PayPal and login ahead of time to save time. I lost so much time on the credit card page and it kept rejecting my card 😭

  @Halfords_uk I've now tried paying via PayPal. It processed the payment. I've had an email from PayPal confirming the payment, but your website (again) showed a basket empty error and the order isn't showing in my order history and no confirmation email. WTF is going on?

  PayPal paid approximately $4 billion for Honey in 2020. The browser extension had 17 million monthly users, worked across roughly 30,000 retailers and gave PayPal something it normally reached only at the end of a purchase: influence over what happened before checkout. That position created Honey’s value. Shoppers installed it for discounts, merchants supplied offers to reach those shoppers, and Honey earned money through affiliate attribution when a purchase occurred. Then MegaLag alleged that Honey sometimes replaced creators’ affiliate tracking with its own. PayPal said Honey followed industry practices including last-click attribution, but the explanation did little to stop the reaction. Honey has reportedly fallen from more than 20 million Chrome users to 12 million. Merchant relationships declined from roughly 35,000 to just over 28,000, while its coupon database fell from about 90,000 codes to 50,000. This is what happens when a marketplace flywheel reverses. Fewer users make the product less valuable to merchants. Fewer merchants mean fewer working offers. A weaker product gives the remaining users another reason to uninstall it. Affiliate networks added pressure. Rakuten removed Honey before later reinstating it with new protections, while Impact and Awin also took action. A creator lawsuit has survived PayPal’s attempt to dismiss it, although that is not a finding that PayPal is liable. PayPal bought Honey because it occupied a valuable point between product discovery and payment. The same position became dangerous once shoppers and creators began questioning whose interests the extension served. A $4 billion distribution advantage turned into a trust problem sitting inside 12 million browsers.

  PayPal's Braintree API went down for roughly two hours. Every merchant routing through it saw HTTP 500s. Checkout. Withdrawals. Venmo transfers. All at once. No second rail to switch to. Here's the part most sellers miss: An outage is the version you can't predict. The other version is deliberate. Stripe, PayPal and Shopify Payments approve you instantly and underwrite later. A volume spike or a chargeback cluster triggers a hold with no warning. Rolling reserve: 10 to 25% of revenue, locked for 90 to 180 days. Terminated instead of paused? MATCH can block approvals for five years. An outage costs you hours. A shutdown costs you months. To the customer, both look identical: your store isn't working. 97% of merchants over $500M run multiple acquirers. That isn't paranoia. That's the job. Full breakdown in the reply 👇

  @cur8orofearth @maddoxrules @TomFewhlery Not a partisan issue? Maybe I'll grant you that. But "no federal government" involved? While Palantir is joined at the hip with so-called "immigration and customs enforcement"? The PayPal mafia has had this in the works for at least a decade, and they own this presidency

  I have a little problems with PayPal, an agreement on Adam YCH of timely delays. This does not affect the already accepted agreement, due to insolvency!

  @ShaneSchleger Nope. It’s 100% true. I called their customer care three times reporting the issue. Each time they told me they would correct the issue. I left the money in my PayPal account for months. I finally decided I wanted to earn interest on it so I moved it to my high yield savings account earmarked for PayPal.
