  @zubic_eth This is why so many people left PayPal. They ignore the problem then punish the person who reported it

  PayPal is down 11.60% to $54.34 after Advent and Stripe abandoned their pursuit. The group had offered $60.50 a share in mid-July, valuing PayPal north of $50 billion. The board considered that price inadequate. The stock now trades about 10% below the bid it turned down.

  PayPal was literally killing small businesses, holding their funds endlessly without any explanation. Now they've become a total failure. Wise @Wise your time is coming. Your company stock has been stagnant for 5 years. Eventually, short sellers will pile up on your garbage stock and push the price down.

  $PYPL down 12%+ after the Stripe/Advent takeover story fell apart. Personally, I think this makes the setup MORE interesting. No acquisition premium. No easy catalyst. Now PayPal has to prove the business is worth more on its own. 👀 That’s the story I’m watching.

  One of these was an NCR CX7 POS system but turns out the seller was a scammer. He had me get the money back by PayPal because they wouldn’t release it to him and when I asked for more pictures of the device to make sure he wasn’t a scammer he sent me terrible AI images LMFAO

  @Adiofreak PayPal, is a gang of thieves. If you haven't accidently broken some policy to them yet, you'll be asking how something is your fault when it is used to steal from you.

  Just pieced together the $KLAR boardroom saga. It deserves the long read. 2005: three students found Klarna — Siemiatkowski, Jacobsson, Adalberth. Their idea takes one of the last places at a business-plan competition. An angel funds them anyway. 2010: Sequoia invests. Michael Moritz — the man who wrote the firm’s checks into Yahoo, Google and PayPal, later Stripe — takes the board seat himself. 2012: Jacobsson leaves. Company worth roughly $1 BN. As far as I know he never builds anything again. Instead he spends 14 years quietly accumulating Klarna stock, using founder pre-emption rights to buy out other holders — much of it at down-round prices. By the IPO filing he holds 8.8% of the company. More than the CEO’s 7.4%. And he keeps a proxy on the board. 2015: Adalberth leaves too — sells most of his stake, builds a foundation, stays on good terms. That’s what a clean exit looks like. Remember the contrast. Meanwhile Siemiatkowski builds: Germany, the banking license, the US, 26 countries, 120m users. Before the IPO he borrows $112m against his own shares to buy MORE stock. At the $40 IPO he sells zero. July 2023: Moritz retires from Sequoia after 38 years — but keeps the Klarna chairmanship, now as a private individual. January 2024: Sequoia needs a new board rep. Enter Matt Miller, 12 years at the firm. Track record: one win (Confluent), one zero (Graphcore, written off in 2022). (Side note - compare it with what Moritz achieved as an investor) February 2024, six weeks into the seat: Miller files to remove Moritz as chairman — aligned with Jacobsson’s camp. Here’s the part I can’t get over. Miller inherited his firm seat from a man half the industry would work for free just to sit in the room with — and moved against him within six weeks. You can call it governance. The market called it something else… It lasts a week. Siemiatkowski flies to San Francisco. Sequoia withdraws the request and publicly apologizes: we fully support Michael as chairman. Miller is pulled off the board, by December he’s out of Sequoia entirely. Truly deserved. October 2024: the board votes out Jacobsson’s proxy after 8 years. Weeks later, Klarna files for its IPO. Then the epilogue. March 2026, lockup week, the overhang everyone feared: Moritz puts $49.9m of his own money in at an average of $14.37. August 2026, eight days after a guidance cut crushed the stock 23%: Siemiatkowski buys ~$10m at $14.37. Same price, six months apart, from the two people who know this company best. Moritz’s whole career is one repeated bet — back the unconsensus founder. Brin and Page. He says it himself in every interview. At $14 he made that bet again: his own money, against his own former firm’s coup, for the founder he’s watched for 16 years. Two camps fought for this company. One built it. The other accumulated it. The builders won every round — and then bought the dip. I’m long $KLAR. Pick your side.

  visa just tightened the number that can freeze your store. most sellers have no idea it moved. the numbers: 1. visa's threshold dropped to 1.5% this year 2. stripe caps around 0.5% 3. shopify payments and paypal sit closer to 1% your real danger line is probably tighter than whatever you've been told. cross it and you're not getting a warning. you're getting: - a reserve hold on 20% of payouts - or a full shutdown while the money you already made sits frozen. the fix isn't clever, it's boring: 1. respond to every support ticket inside 12 hours 2. run every ad claim through one test — would this survive your own mother reading it most flags trace back to one of those two. not the product.

  Most owners still use Claude like a polite intern who rewrites emails. That is the least useful thing it can do. Claude for Small Business now sits in Cowork with QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. It can reconcile, chase, draft, and package work. You approve before anything sends, posts, or pays. Many never flipped the toggle. They kept pasting into chat and wondering why it sounded generic. Stop asking it for sentences. Give it a job. 1. Build a business brain. One Project: offer, pricing, voice samples, FAQ, three winning proposals, two that lost, who you sell to, what you refuse. Skip this and you keep editing sludge. 2. Monday pulse. One page: cash, uncleared settlements, pipeline, this week's commitments, three things that hurt if ignored. Ends the twelve-tab morning. 3. Chase invoices. It reads open invoices, checks settlements, drafts the follow-up, queues it. You approve. Overdue cash stops rotting in a Friday spreadsheet. 4. Close the month for your accountant. Reconcile, flag mismatches, plain-English P&L, export a packet. They want fewer surprises, not a novel. 5. Forecast the ugly week. Thirty days out. Payroll vs incoming cash. Name the week you run out if two invoices slip. 6. Find busy work that loses money. Job costs, SKUs, clients. What looks healthy on revenue and thin on contribution. 7. First-pass contracts. MSA, vendor deal, lease. Flag odd indemnity, auto-renew traps, deviations from your terms. Not your lawyer. The highlighter before the lawyer. 8. Proposal factory. Load three that closed. New draft from a discovery call, same scope style, disclaimers already in. If first drafts still take half a day, the Project is empty. 9. Discovery call to next moves. Transcript in. HubSpot brief, follow-up, open questions, scope outline out. 10. Triage inbound. Sort by fit, budget signal, time-to-close. Draft the yes, the not-now, and the no. Stop answering in arrival order. 11. Support voice from real tickets. Paste twenty replies you were proud of. New complaints get that register, not helpdesk English. 12. Campaign from the slow stretch. Where revenue dipped. Which send moved pipeline. Then Canva assets against that brief, not "we should post more." 13. Repurpose one real offer. Workshop, drop, case study. Sales email, reminder, landing section, three posts that do not sound cloned. One source. Many surfaces. 14. Lead magnet that does work. ROI calculator, quiz, scope estimator as an Artifact. If it answers a question your sales call always answers, keep it. 15. Hire with a scorecard. Role brief, first-week plan, candidate emails. Same standard every time someone quits. 16. Handbook answers the team. Policies, PTO, invoicing, refunds. Staff ask Claude instead of you at 7pm. 17. Tax folder while it is boring. Missing docs, categories, questions your accountant asks in March. October is a gift. April is a tax. 18. Vendor quotes on one page. Price, term, lock-in, exit, the thing buried on page nine. 19. Turn the Monday task you hate into a Skill. Weekly report, recap, SOW format. If it repeats and the bar is specific, stop re-prompting it. 20. Cowork the sites with no connector. Portal report, form, the CSV a vendor still emails. Messy. Cheaper than a VA on the same six screens. Do not let it send, post, or pay in week one. Watch drafts. Fix the voice. Then widen the leash. Owners getting time back are not better prompters. They gave Claude a filing cabinet, a few tools, and one job with a human checkpoint. Start with the Project, the Monday pulse, and invoice chase. The rest can wait until those feel boring. Which of these replaced a real hour, and which still produced a draft you rewrote?

  @alexlay88 That 9% is an easy fix most stores skip, Shop Pay, PayPal, and a BNPL option covers nearly every preference bucket. The harder chunk to solve is the abandonment that isn't payment related at all, unexpected costs revealed at the final step. Both are checkout problems, but only one gets fixed by adding a button.

  @Mutualaidboost_ I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

  @danprimack Two suitors, one exit, -10% in after-hours. PayPal doesn't need a buyer — it needs a business model. That's the harder problem.

  JUST IN: PayPal is down more than 10% after Stripe and Advent reportedly “dropped their pursuit” of a potential acquisition.
