Paypal Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• 
  Finance Spot (@financespotnews) reported 11 seconds ago

  Michael Burry went public on PayPal 134 days ago. The stock is still +9% from that call. On July 15, $PYPL jumped 17% on buyout rumors. That same day Burry called the offer “simply too low.” Last night, Stripe and Advent International walked away from the takeover. $PYPL is down ~11–12% today — and Burry is still ahead.

  Buyers just walked. Stripe and a private-equity firm dropped their run at PayPal. It would have been one of the biggest buyouts ever. The stock is down nearly 16% before the open. They had offered $60.50 a share. PayPal’s board said that wasn’t enough. Now the company has to prove it can turn around without a sale. $PYPL — Bearish

  @BullTheoryio PayPal turned down over $50 billion thinking the buyers would raise their number, and instead the whole thing just disappeared. Now the stock is down 12% and that massive LBO never happened. Feels like they misread how serious the other side was about walking

  PayPal is down about 13% premarket after the Advent/Stripe consortium reportedly walked away. Their rejected bid was $60.50. $PYPL closed yesterday at $61.47 and now trades near $53.39. The part the headline misses: that is still about 13% above the roughly $47.27 price before the bid surfaced in July. Since then PayPal raised 2026 adjusted EPS guidance to $5.38 and outlined $400M of savings this year. The deal premium disappeared. The entire rerating did not.

  @drewwash @braintree @PayPal I asked support and they recommended holding off on refunds for now as a recovery effort is underway and should include refunding or crediting incorrect charges. They also said it's a P1 issue and they are targeting resolution for end of day today.

  OK, hear me out. The next directional Moderna esque arbitrage play will be Musk throwing down the gauntlet and putting in an offer for PayPal. Chances are this won’t happen but wouldn’t that be something.

  93% of people chasing passive income in 2026 will make less than $200 total. Not because the opportunities don't exist. Because they're being sold a fantasy instead of a system. Here's the uncomfortable truth nobody in this space wants to say out loud: Passive income is not passive at the start. Ever. Every YouTuber, every course seller, every 'laptop lifestyle' account is showing you month 36 of their journey. Not month one. Not the 14-hour days, the failed products, the $0 PayPal dashboards they stared at for six straight months. The 2026 version of this conversation is even more dangerous. AI tools have lowered the barrier to entry so much that everyone is flooding the same channels simultaneously. Digital products. Faceless YouTube. Print on demand. Notion templates. The market isn't dead, but it is deafeningly loud. So what actually works right now? The people winning are not finding secret niches. They are building small, boring, systematic operations in overlooked corners of existing platforms. One person I know nets $4,100 a month selling licensed music loops to content creators. Another clears $2,800 monthly licensing Excel templates to small accounting firms. Neither of them went viral. Neither has a personal brand. They solved a specific problem for a specific person and automated the delivery. That is the real definition of passive income. Solve once. Deliver forever. The side hustle culture of 2026 is obsessed with the aesthetic of freedom. The people actually achieving it are obsessed with the mechanics of it. There is a massive difference between those two groups.

  @Adiofreak @PayPal Honestly this sounds like a problem you started. Honestly what is the actual problem. Sounds like people are trolling you with donations and you are overreacting. Then you are blaming paypal, for "problems" that you created. Living with you must be a nightmare.

  @PranavBobde @atybdot @aegloist I have had my fair share of problems with Razorpay (my tweet you quoted is almost 4 years old). However when I was in India running the company, I found other gateways even worse, so we never left Razorpay. Eventually the problems faded away and it worked consistently okay for us for Indian payments. Never left stripe/paypal, we had our own payment gateway orchestration sending people to right gateway based on their location

  52 followers 7 days ago. 1,100+ today. Wild. Thanks to every single one of you. let me quickly introduce myself: In 2019 I was bored out of my mind at university. Took me about one semester to realize the degree I was working towards would never get me where I actually wanted to be. Then YouTube recommended me a video: "How to make money with dropshipping" Boom. That was the opportunity I was looking for (I thought). So I went all in. Grinding day and night. 30k first month, tripled that the month after. I thought I cracked the code. Until > PayPal cases started rolling in lol. > Refunds left and right. > Problems with the supplier as well. Turns out I sucked at running the store. But heres the thing: While I was bad at every part of that business, there was one part I was actually good at. The ad account. Reading the data and making decisions other people didn't see were an option. So I asked around in my network whether I could run ads for them. Took some time but one guy finally said yes (forever thankful for you if you read this). And guess what: IT WORKED! Certainly not at today's level, but more than enough to establish a profitable marketing channel for him. In fact: He was so happy, he recommended me to another guy and one thing led to another. FAST FORWARD TO TODAY: I run a multi 7-figure full funnel Google Ads agency. We scale brands like Sodastream, Riedel and Music Store, plenty of stores starting from scratch on Google and everything in between. And after a few hundred accounts, the same pattern keeps showing up: ALMOST NOBODY IS LOSING MONEY BC THEIR ADS ARE BAD. But bc they're not doing the basics right at scale. After spending €50mio+ on Google I thought, "why not share all the lessons and insights about how to scale tf out of people's Google Ads." I share every single detail and not gate keep anything. Before, I thought this stuff was way too niche for X. But based on the DMs I've received, apparently not. So welcome on my X account brother. Follow along for more ecom nerd stuff that makes you more money. 🫶🏼
