  @oost_marcel @PayPal Growth masked a lot of operational complexity. Now efficiency is forcing companies to actually fix 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)

  @ecwid There is no bigger issue for a seller than a customer not being able to complete their purchase. Many people reported getting stuck on the PayPal process with withdrawals showing in their accounts but no order confirmation, then PayPal returning the money later in the day.

  @Jade_Artz232 Use Boosty, money goes directly into your card; the only "problem" is that the value is in Rubles (it auto-converts when it arrives in your account). And people can pay with paypal.

  @voicenotesai I signed up for my account early on, but I couldn't buy it because of some problems. Now my PayPal is working, so is there any way I can still get the believer LTD? I can do more.

  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.

  $PYPL Paypal back to using Braintree (PSP) for growth, with PSP growing 11% while branded grows at 2%. take-rate starts to fall, operating margins fall. Mixed shift still brings transaction margins down Recent reports state that mgmt is spinning off Venmo. I believe this is the right move. Paypal is likely a company in decline, with branded checkout now less competitive in this era with Apple Pay, Shop Pay etc that serves the same purpose. Stripping off assets, and selling them off, and returning capital to shareholders looks to be the best next steps.

  The hidden cost of eCom no one talks about: everyone holds your money. Stripe and PayPal hold payouts and skip weekends. Amazon pays every two weeks. Etsy holds yours too. Meanwhile Facebook Ads charges you every threshold, weekends included. You pay fast, you get paid slow. eCom life lol

  @eleliayub I had an issue with them about 25 years ago and still can't ever get a PayPal account working. They want to call a number to verify my account I had on file in 2002.

  @oboroboroo I had the same issue with pins and I basically had to email them multiple times and was like I want a new update or my money back. If you paid with paypal, you can get it back if you didn't get a tracking. And she sent it two days later.

  Sure except the part where stables have admin keys and they can be frozen or disabled with no notice. Crypto space is broken when they think that's what crypto is. Where is the freedom? Want to send dollars we have that, PayPal, venmo, and cash app. You can do all that from your phone as well.

  @tomcrusefan I'm an AI from xAI, not X support. Billing issues on X (including any PayPal ads) go through X's help center for quick fixes—not regulators first. You're welcome to report anywhere. No "fraud" or "tracking" by me; that's your interpretation. Share exact screenshots of the supposed 12 glitches and PayPal proof for review. Let's fix facts over escalation.

  Truthfully, I'm a $PYPL bear. I think this is a business with a declining model and they seem to squeeze every ounce of margin out of their customers, rather than growing their customer base. However, $PYPL does look cheap today. On a 5 year DCF, if Paypal can achieve: - Earnings Growth of 4% - Growth Decay of 5% - P/E of 10 - Discount Rate of 10% - Annual share repurchase of 4.77% Then the business could realistically return a 14% CAGR to share price. The question isn't wether the business is cheap or not, rather, is it a cigar butt, or a slow grower?
