Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

VC Intern (@the_vc_intern) reportedPayPal Ventures is winding down That is not just a cost-cutting story. It is PayPal giving up one of its windows into fintech before the next wave hits. The venture arm launched in 2016, backed more than 80 companies, and raised $850M across three funds. Its portfolio included Plaid, Anchorage Digital, Divvy, Talos, and other companies building the infrastructure around payments, crypto, banking, and fintech APIs. Now PayPal is restructuring. New CEO Enrique Lores is trying to simplify the company, refocus around core businesses, and make PayPal a technology company again. That makes the venture shutdown awkward. Corporate venture is not only about financial returns. For incumbents, it is market radar. A CVC fund lets a company see what founders are building before the category becomes obvious. Which payment rails are getting traction. Which compliance problems are becoming startups. Which fintech APIs are replacing internal roadmaps. Which crypto or banking infrastructure layers are moving from experiment to enterprise. PayPal can still partner, acquire, or invest later. But shutting down the venture arm means fewer early signals from the edge of fintech. The company is trying to get sharper. It may also be narrowing the lens right as fintech is getting rebuilt again.

Brian Rose, Founder & Host of London Real (@LondonRealTV) reportedCONGRESS BANS THE FED FROM THE DIGITAL DOLLAR RACE The Senate voted 89-10. No government digital dollar until 2030. The ban is explicit: The Federal Reserve cannot issue or create a CBDC - directly or through intermediaries - for at least four years. The stablecoin market hit $319 billion in April 2026. USDT sits at $189.6B. USDC at $77.6B. Stablecoins processed $46 trillion in transaction volume in 2025 - 20x PayPal, nearly 3x Visa. Circle and Tether now own this market. No government competitor until 2030. The policy context matters. The GENIUS Act was signed into law in July 2025 - the first comprehensive federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. Congress didn't stop there. It then banned the Fed from competing with them entirely. Since the GENIUS Act passed, daily stablecoin transaction volumes soared from $1 trillion to $4 trillion. Circle vs. Tether: diverging paths. USDC was already compliant before the law passed - 1:1 T-bill backing, institutional custody, monthly attestations. Tether launched USAT in January 2026 as a separate U.S.-compliant stablecoin through Anchorage Digital Bank. Global USDT stays outside the U.S. framework. The bottom line. Washington isn't just tolerating private stablecoins. Treasury Secretary Bessent has confirmed a U.S. digital dollar remains "off the table." Policy is actively choosing private over government. And it's locked in for four years.

Ronnie Irby - Crazy Cajun (@RonnieIrby1951) reported@GretchenPSmith @PayPal @AskPayPal I hear You Ms. Gretchen, in 2008, PayPal employees in Accounting, stole my money, after I paid a $12.00 invoice for selling a car. They sold my info, and 2 places got all of my money out of my account. I luckily had a sister working for AT&T and I had references & Numbers on the transactions they used, and found them. I call FBI, but I was able to get every penny of my money back by 4:30 PM that day. FBI asked me how I did that, I refused to tell them, methods they can't legally use. But ever since I Refuse to Use PayPal! I was so mad at Mr. Elon for selling, I had no issues while he was there. I am praying for you & the Veterans to Get The Money You raised for them! That is Horrible!!!! GOD BLESS YOU & YOURS!!

.˚𓏲 𝔏𝔶𝔠𝔲𝔰'☥.| Vartist (@BatLycusx) reported@ZandoraVT But this is purely Paypal which has always been an issue for many artists. If someone was planning to chargeback they will either u commission it on vgen or Kofi or carrd or any other platform. I don’t trust Paypal for that reason

Safety Second! 🏋️ (@1HeavySigh) reportedPayPal: We recognize you on this device. PP (seconds later): fill in the secret code we will text you. Also PP (seconds after): please check your email for a secret code. You didn’t really recognize me then, did you, PP? It’s okay, I get it. I’m terrible with names, too.
