  @PayPal My account was permanently limited and my funds are being held for a claimed link to another account with “unresolved issues.” I do have a second account with no unresolved issues on it. I need a manual review and correction of this error Reference ID: PP-L-815348235140

  @baileyonacloud @orcachillin If you sell and use PayPal for the transaction, they’ll usually allow immediate access to those funds from the purchase as long as it’s under $300. Anything after the initial $300/month period is usually put on a hold for verification of funds. Basically the original post doesn’t really make any ******* sense lol. You’re still selling, and that’s still your money. The issue, I guess, would be a buyer processing a refund? That’s with pretty much anything though and not an exclusive PayPal issue, so I still don’t get where they’re coming from.

  A group of people found a PayPal loophole and pushed fake balances into the millions before it got shut down. Around the early 2010s, users noticed a gap in how PayPal handled pending transactions. Money sent between accounts could appear instantly. Verification took longer. That gap was enough. People started sending money between accounts they controlled. Balances updated. Funds looked real. They repeated it. Numbers stacked fast. Small amounts turned into tens of thousands. Then hundreds of thousands. More people joined in. Multiple accounts. Same loop. At one point, accounts were showing six-figure balances that weren’t actually backed by real funds. Then PayPal caught it. Accounts froze. Balances reversed. Anyone who tried to withdraw got hit with negative accounts. For a short window, normal users were looking at money that didn’t exist but the system said it did.

  @sionster @antibearthesis I’ve been in and out of PayPal, thankfully for profits. Many people seem to agree that a lower price would make it good value based on the P/E. Earnings have plummeted which will be an issue soon resolved, you’re highly unlikely to see a brand like Nike trade at 15 PE.

  @Northern_Ravenx sorry Paypal is not working in my country, but I do also accept payment with Visa card or Mastercard.

  @Mikoxto__ also Lavatop includes PayPal and card as payment methods, whereas on Boosty currently only the card works. I haven't observed any payment issues and that makes me very happy

  Swiss Knife Investor (@SwissKnifeInv) reported 24 minutes ago

  $PYPL reported Q1 2026 earnings today. The stock dropped ~9%. Here’s why I’m not worried. PayPal reiterated full-year guidance of $6 billion in adjusted free cash flow and $6 billion in share repurchases. They bought back 34 million shares in Q1 alone. Revenue up 7%. Total Payment Volume up 11%. They beat on both revenue and EPS. The stock went down 9%. That tells you everything about where expectations are right now. The $1.5 billion nobody is talking about. New CEO Enrique Lores committed to at least $1.5 billion in gross run-rate savings over the next 2 to 3 years through simplification and AI. That’s $1.5 billion in earnings growth just from getting leaner. Zero new revenue required. And it assumes nothing from ads, Venmo monetization, or expanded credit products. Those are all upside on top of it. Now about those margins. Yes, margins got squeezed. Good. That’s the point. PayPal is competing against Stripe, Apple Pay, and Block. They’re investing to defend a position they nearly lost. Nobody goes to the penalty box for doing everything right. If you’re expecting an A+ report from a company fighting the best fintechs in the world, the stock wouldn’t be down here. The reason it’s here is because the results look like this. That’s not a bug. That’s the setup. The one real concern: active accounts at 439 million, up just 1% year-over-year. A two-sided network that isn’t growing users has a problem. Transactions per active account ex-PSP were up 6%, which helps. But this is the problem Lores inherited and the reason the stock is where it is. I entered PYPL at $40.94. Nothing today changes that thesis. Thesis intact.

  @thinkmoney I do not know what you guys have done, but the recent system update, has broken my ability to add money to any service such as PayPal or pay my credit card. Both trying to use my debit card. This is extenely upsetting because it basically means that I will need to find a different way to add money to these accounts. The problem stems from payment authorisation. Before, it used to show the authorise notification in the Thinkmoney app. It never gets this far now because the Mastercard ID authorisation never completes. Can you please tell me why this system is now broken, and when you plan to resolve it?

  I was also really mad about the exposure of my full name and personal information on the doc and I would kindly appreciate it if you took some down like the paypal recipts or at least censor the name better (because it's horribly censored I must say)

  @Rehan77536607 Probably the PayPal game where id take control remotely of his laptop while both on videochat, he'd sign into PP & then go to the end of his apt & when I gave the command he'd have to run to the laptop & shut it down before I sent myself money. Id always win.
