  Does she even understand what PayPal does? What restructuring is. Who are the clients? Why is their business down? Or is it a requirement that you have to be completely illogical to be a Modi and BJP basher.

  @___EEF_ There are apparently people on Reddit as recent as 4 days ago having the exact same issue on me and the working theory that it’s due to paypal’s ai security. This could validate for a genuine law suit

  Kaz @nejatian on the biggest lesson he learned from Shopify CEO @tobi Lütke: There's only 3 rules you learn in business school: 1. Money is good 2. More money is better 3. Money now is better than money later "What ends up happening is: people very frequently sell future growth at a massive discount for today's stock price." "The result of that is PayPal. Over and over that company made the wrong decisions because they cared more about today than 10 years from now." "And guess what—it is now 10 years from now and the company’s in deep trouble." "Tobi had this wonderful mentality of applying essentially a zero discount rate to future growth." "He was like, 'Growth tomorrow or growth today, I’m indifferent. I will never sacrifice growth tomorrow for growth today.'" "What ends up happening is, because human beings always misunderstand compounding, you end up getting way higher growth later on." "It’s a very hard thing to do in practice because you have to look at a chart and say, 'Nah, I’ll take some of it later.' That’s very hard." "There are 2 SaaS companies that stand differently from the rest: Palantir and Shopify." "I think it’s partially because they do things that are just so different than every other company."

  @Dhavidote You the only Nigerian making sense, Shoprite, PayPal or tiktok had problems in Nigeria and it had nothing to do with competition but criminality or infrastructure. Nigerians need to introspect and develop a sense of accountability

  NOTHING HAPPENED AT PAYPAL $PYPL ON FRIDAY. THE STOCK STILL FELL 12.7%: PayPal PYPL at $53.66, -$7.81 / -12.71% from Thursday's $61.47 close. Short answer: a group that wanted to buy PayPal said never mind, and the price everyone had been paying walked out with them. Picture a trading card at recess. A kid offers you a big stack for yours. You say no, not enough. Now the whole table talks about your card as if it is worth that stack, and a few say even more, figuring the offer will get bigger. Then the kid shrugs and goes to lunch. Same card. Same picture on it. The number people say out loud goes back down. That is Friday, exactly. In mid-July two privately held companies - Stripe, which handles payments for online businesses, and Advent International, an investment firm that buys whole companies - offered $60.50 a share for all of PayPal, about $53B. The board said too low. Talks ran into August over a bigger number. Friday, Bloomberg reported the two had quit. Watch the price in between. On July 14, before anyone knew, the shares closed at $47.37. Thursday they closed at $61.47 - 97 cents ABOVE the $60.50 actually on the table. People were paying more than the buyers had offered, betting the offer would rise. Friday that bet came off, on 36.3M shares against about 12.1M on an ordinary day, roughly three times normal. Here is how big $7.81 is. PayPal expects to earn about $5.38 a share this year, once some one-off items are stripped out. The price fell by more than a full year of expected profit in one day, over a decision nobody at PayPal made. The business did not budge. Its July 28 report, for the three months ended June 30: net revenue - the money coming in the door - $8.68B, +5%; payments crossing its systems $486.4B, +10%; free cash flow, the cash left after running the business and buying its equipment, $1.78B. It bought back $6.0B of its own stock over the past year and pays $0.14 a share, next landing September 25. The Quality-Value Len5 is watching this one, eleventh on that list. That Len5 wants a strong business you are not overpaying for. Strong is the easy half: 439 million accounts and a payments network nobody rebuilds overnight. Friday made the other half cheaper, at roughly 10 times what PayPal says it will earn this year. What would firm it up is profit growing again - transaction profit, what PayPal keeps from each payment after the cost of moving it, rose 1% last quarter while the payments themselves rose 10%. That gap is the real argument, and no buyer was ever going to settle it. For a curious grown-up, that 1% is the line to follow at the next report, not the deal headlines. Friday took nothing away from PayPal. It took away somebody else's willingness to pay for it. Not investment advice.

  @JKhrushche10538 @linuxuser1996 We already provided a clear solution for the bug recently introduced by PayPal above. If you don't tell us what isn't working then there's no way for us to directly help with it. We can only guess what you're trying to do and what's not set up properly to cause an issue.

  @PayPal I transfered money from PayPal to Mpesa on Thursday 27th August, the money was deducted from PayPal but never hit my Mpesa. The status of the transaction is marked as complete. I need some assistance and escalation of that issue.
