  @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 💔💔

  If an artist begins to raise red flags by ghosting you, issue a chargeback. It’s always remarkable how fast people reply when you do so!! Please don’t give people blind trust and wait several months for the PayPal time limit to run out!! 🫠 and then you’ll be left on the hook

  @PayPal “I am trying to verify my address using my PLDT utility bill (March 2026). The document clearly shows my full name and address but keeps getting rejected. I have tried uploading both the original PDF and a screenshot. Please help me resolve this issue.

  @AskPayPal I lost access to the phone number linked to my PayPal account, so I cannot receive verification codes and cannot log in. The support pages also require login. I cannot call support right now. Can you help me verify my identity another way or escalate my account recovery?

  $IBM, $SHOP - AI is not replacing workers equally. It is exposing CEOs. The lazy read is that AI means fewer workers, better margins, cleaner earnings stories. The sharper read is that AI is becoming a leadership philosophy. Two very different playbooks Coinbase is cutting roughly 14% of its workforce as Brian Armstrong pushes the company toward a leaner, faster, AI-native structure. PayPal is reportedly planning to reduce staff by around 20% over the next two to three years while targeting at least $1.5B in savings under its turnaround plan. That is the first AI playbook: take the productivity gain and immediately convert it into headcount reduction. It can work, especially when the company is bloated, margins are under pressure, or investors have lost patience. But it also tells you something about how management sees the business. AI becomes a weapon against cost, not a tool for expanding ambition. The other side of the trade Axon and Spotify are taking the more interesting route. Axon’s message to employees was basically: AI lets teams do more, not disappear. Spotify’s Gustav Söderström framed the choice cleanly: cut people to harvest savings now, or keep headcount roughly flat and ship more value. That second path is less obvious to screeners because it does not instantly show up as a layoff headline or a clean margin bridge. But over time, it may be the stronger operating model. Same team, more output. Same payroll, faster product velocity. Same talent base, larger problem set. That is not softness. That is leverage. The IBM point matters IBM’s Nickle LaMoreaux has been pushing the right question: are companies moving from “AI to productivity” toward “AI to growth”? That is the whole debate. Productivity is the first-order gain. Growth is the second-order test. Even Gartner is warning that AI-related workforce reductions may create budget room without necessarily delivering returns. Markets love the clean story of fewer employees and higher near-term margins. But the better companies may be the ones that use AI to compound capability before they rush to shrink the org chart. Bottom line: AI is not just changing labor costs. It is revealing which CEOs are managing for a margin headline, and which ones are building a higher-output company.

  $PYPL is somehow under investigation in relation to “breaching” Uk anti competition laws along with $V and $MA Not sure how @PayPal is an issue here? Seems like there is loads of digital wallet competition. The #FCA have no clue as usual.

  @PVINTERACTIVE @isek554 @NewsWireLK I don't want to waste time with fools. But let me finish with last 3 remarks. 1. Paypal is objectively horrible and their service sucks. 2. Places like Wyoming, USA is far more easier to work with than broken systems like Sri Lanka. 3. It's your choice, so good luck!

  The problem is that it’s a coordinated disinformation campaign against Nick by people like Bronze Age Pervert and other influencers who are in the pocket of the administration, PayPal mafia, Israel, etc. Ever notice how they all post at the same time? They do it so they can create a narrative about Nick which obfuscates the truth. They’re not misunderstanding him, they’re lying. They’re fine lying to themselves, to their audience, and to God.

  BREAKING: @PayPal to Cut 20% of Staff Amid Turnaround Push The job eliminations are part of PayPal’s new plans to accelerate its adoption of artificial intelligence and cut costs. The planned reduction would amount to 4,760 positions based on the 23,800 employees PayPal reported having at the end of 2025. The layoffs were reported earlier by Bloomberg. Chief Executive Enrique Lores told investors Tuesday that he thinks PayPal has underinvested in its technology platform and is falling behind other financial services companies. He wants to cut down on what he sees as unnecessary layers of the business to spend more on AI and becoming a technology leader. “PayPal needs to focus,” he said. “We need to recommit to the fundamentals.” Lores, who joined in March after Alex Chriss was ousted, said he wants to trim costs so the company can spend more on putting out new technology. “First, we will remove duplication and layers from our organizational structure. Second, we will accelerate our AI adoption and automation across our operations,” Lores said. Shares are down more than 8% at $45.93 on Tuesday. The cost-cutting efforts are expected to yield, at a minimum, $1.5 billion in gross run-rate savings over the next two to three years, management said. PayPal didn’t specify which areas of the business would see cost reductions. This year and next, PayPal will be rearranging its teams and building new systems and processes to run the business, management said. PayPal’s board brought in Lores, a former chief executive of HP, earlier this year because it was unhappy with “the pace of change” under Chriss. The company had been trying to diversify beyond its checkout business, which had seen growth slow since the pandemic. Lores said his highest priority is the checkout business, which lets customers use PayPal when making purchases with online retailers. He said he sees room for growth in buy now, pay later, as customers are increasingly looking for flexible payment options. His other focuses are financial services, Venmo and payment processing. PayPal reported a lower first-quarter profit of $1.11 billion, or $1.21 a share, compared with a profit of $1.29 billion, or $1.29 a share, a year earlier. Stripping out certain one-time items, adjusted earnings were $1.34 a share, ahead of the $1.27 that analysts were expecting, according to FactSet. During his time helming HP, Lores became known for streamlining the tech company and pivoting it toward AI and subscriptions. Paypal’s cost-cutting effort marks the second major initiative under Lores. Last week, PayPal said it would reorganize into three business units: Checkout Solutions & PayPal, Consumer Financial Services & Venmo, and Payment Services & Crypto. Source: Wall Street Journal
