Rohan Paul (@rohanpaul_ai) reportedBloomberg: PayPal just mapped out a plan to cut about 20% of its workforce. The cut could remove 4,500+ jobs from a base of about 23,800 employees, with management targeting at least $1.5B in savings over 2-3 years. The company’s problem is not that people stopped paying online, but that more of the valuable checkout layer is being squeezed by Stripe, Adyen, Apple Pay, Klarna, and other payment systems that sit closer to merchants or consumers. PayPal still processes huge volume, but its transaction margin dollars, the money left after processing costs, are expected to slightly decline this year, which means growth in payment activity is not cleanly turning into better profit. New CEO Enrique Lores is basically saying PayPal became too heavy, too complex, and too slow to execute, so the turnaround starts with fewer layers, lower costs, and more spending on modernizing the tech stack. --- bloomberg. com/news/articles/2026-05-05/paypal-plans-job-cuts-as-fintech-s-new-ceo-pursues-turnaround-strategy

CosmicD (@CosmicD) reported@NoMooreMercy @gabefollower honestly, they should trace these orders .. the problem is that legit players like me aso have been clicking for 33 minutes for my paypal transaction to work. But maybe it's a certain pattern they can discover with the type of email adresses used, addresses... and if they find it they should brick the controllers by serial number. (but only if they find a very legit way of tracing them)

ClarityFirst (@ClarityFirst_) reported$FINX looks like a contrarian fintech play. It is down ~8%, while valuation has compressed to ~22x P/E — near the low end of its 10Y range and well below the fintech category median. Top holdings like PayPal, Block, Coinbase, Robinhood and SoFi still have upside if sentiment stabilizes. Messy basket, but the setup looks more reasonable now.

jbulltard (@jbulltard1) reported@ruth_capital i just mean like he picks the worst names lulu/paypal/adbe/gamestop. There is no option flow here, the charts are broken like wtf are you seeing man. I like to think im very good at calling out what is going to work and none of those are on my radar lol

Franc Hudi (@franc_hudi) reported@askpaypal I can't log in. App approval is forced and SMS codes expire immediately. I can't access my account. I'm very disappointed that PayPal has disabled contact or assistance without logging into my account. I'm having trouble logging in due to 2-step verification.

Ike Clanton (@Kansas_Law_Dawg) reported@MattWalshBlog They got my elderly Dad last year. He thought he was talking to PayPal. Luckily he mentioned it to me after getting off the phone and we were able to quickly shut it down. They had already made some small charges in a few minutes.

Justin (@Drfeckler_) reported@PrayFPSHub He disputed PayPal payment and it showed the return address. Allskill never posted the address or an “ip”. He simply called him poor bc the guy was spamming the server on multiple a coutd Also your friend that worked for us has over 15 pc’s you broke after only working for us 2 Week he had 15 of your orders.

henry veyan (@HenryVeyan) reported@Safaricom_Care Hi Care, is your PayPal to mpesa function not working? I've tried to access my account and keep getting error 404

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.

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.

︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ ︎ (@SsSw33tt) reported@heybeegabrielle That's exactly what happened to me. I think I sent several emails a while ago to the store and also to PayPal, but my bank just refunded me first 😭😭😭 I'm surprised because it's the first time I've had this problem in all these years 💔💔
