  $PYPL is cutting 4,500 jobs. 20% of the entire company. Phased over 2-3 years. They're splitting into three divisions. Checkout and PayPal. Consumer and Venmo. And a dedicated crypto unit running PYUSD. Stock is down 45% this year. Revenue beat estimates last quarter. They're firing people anyway. The new CEO calls it "becoming a technology company again." They're going cloud-native, rebuilding the tech platform, and replacing workflows with AI. ✅ Checkout Solutions . PayPal core ✅ Consumer Financial Services . Venmo ✅ Payment Services . Crypto and PYUSD 1.5 billion in cost savings. 4,500 people paying for it. The largest fintech workforce cut of 2026. Bigger than SQ Block's 4,000 in February. Bigger than COIN's 700 this week.

  @AskPayPal nobody responds, I've been trying to contact you guys for a month now, the closest I got to getting support was talking to a bot. I need to fix my account and you guys just keep restricting me without even allowing me to prove that my account is fine.

  @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.

  A year ago basically two companies issued stablecoins. Circle and Tether. That was the market. Today 20 banks and tech giants are in line to issue their own through Anchorage. Western Union. PayPal. Fiserv. List goes on. The GENIUS Act passed and the floodgates opened. Every major financial institution now wants its own dollar onchain.

  $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.

  @capreedmi @InTheAssembly Here's Burry's Q1 2026 Substack disclosure breakdown on the 7 software/payments names (thematic portfolio): - **PYPL (PayPal)**: New position opened at $49.38 (~3.5% stake). Core payments play. - **FISV (Fiserv)**: Holding. High-quality payments infrastructure with stable cash flows. - **ADBE (Adobe)**: Holding. AI disruption narrative overblown; creative tools moat intact. - **ADSK (Autodesk)**: Holding. Design software leader with strong competitive moat. - **VEEV (Veeva)**: Holding. Healthcare SaaS focused on life sciences compliance. - **CRM (Salesforce)**: Adding. Down ~30% YTD; undervalued enterprise cloud leader. - **MSCI**: Adding. Financial data/infrastructure with recurring revenue resilience. Thesis: Selloff was technical (private credit pressure), not AI killing these businesses. None rely on private credit. Contrarian vs. Mag7 hype.

  @AskPayPal I cannot login to my PayPal account because my 2 step verification is active but I changed my phone. I have no access to my registered phone no, but I still have access to the registered email. Please help.

  November 2024 was the moment most people missed. Perplexity shipped Buy with Pro. Real purchases. Inside a chat. PayPal handling the money. Over 5,000 merchants connected. No fanfare. No headlines. But that was the first time a customer bought a product without ever opening a browser, visiting a store, or clicking an ad. I knew right then the funnel was broken.

  According to my email, I buy Norton Antivirus software three or four times a week, that I paid with PayPal or a credit card, and IF I HAVE "ISSUES" I am to call their number. I have routed most of these to junk. What a mess, a globe full of scammers?

  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

  $PYPL - PayPal’s problem is not growth. It’s what that growth is worth. PayPal just printed $8.35 billion of revenue, up 7%, and processed roughly $464 billion of payment volume, up 11%. On the surface, that is not a broken business. The issue is that the earnings bridge still looks too thin. Net profit fell to $1.11 billion from $1.29 billion, while transaction margin dollars rose only 3% to $3.8 billion. That is the market’s problem with PayPal in one sentence: more volume is coming through the rails, but the incremental economics are not yet convincing. Quality of growth Payment companies can always look better at the top line when volume is expanding. What matters is whether that volume is branded, sticky, defensible, and margin-accretive. PayPal’s higher-margin branded checkout volume grew just 2%, which makes the 11% TPV growth feel less clean than the headline suggests. Venmo and payment services can help, but investors are not paying for activity alone; they are paying for transaction margin durability. Management knows the gap. That is why the new plan is built around AI, simplification, and at least $1.5 billion of gross run-rate savings over the next two to three years. But cost cutting is not the same as operating leverage. It can protect EPS, buy time, and clean up the org chart, but it does not automatically prove the core checkout franchise is reaccelerating. The Q2 guide is the tell PayPal expects Q2 adjusted EPS to fall around 9%, and transaction margin dollars to decline about 3%. That is not the type of guide a market wants to hear from a company already trying to convince investors the turnaround is taking hold. To me, the stock debate is no longer “can PayPal grow?” It clearly can. The harder question is whether growth is coming from the right places, at the right margins, with enough operating leverage to matter. Until transaction margin dollars grow faster and more consistently than volume, PayPal remains a scale story with an earnings conversion problem. Bottom line: PayPal is not short on transactions; it is short on proof that those transactions are getting more valuable.

  @SamAdolphsen @SecRollins @POTUS If you get food stamps, your meager finances get pored over every six months. You're forced to document everything down to your PayPal account. Your bank statements, paystubs and cash on hand are scrutinized. You're not given a penny more in SNAP than allowed.
