  @JayJayasuriya Permanent shutdown with zero explanation is such a hard place to be, no reason means no way to even fix whatever triggered it. Hope @AskPayPal actually gives you something concrete soon.

  @verstarppens they're trying to shut down the donations system (attempting to report to paypal and other portals that AO3 accepts donations from about the "depraved works" hosted by the website)

  Apparently PayPal was having some issues so I added stripe in the meantime. PayPal should be straightened out by Tuesday as they need those test deposits to clear in my new business account. You can buy via Stripe now.

  @rasmus1610 @bot The PayPal login being the one manual step is actually the right shape for this — checkout is where you want a human in the loop anyway. Curious whether it handled the cart/shipping choices itself or just followed the exact product link you gave it.

  So you're saying this dude got 50 mil in venture capitalistism funds, and says we can't own money, the companies like cash app venmo and paypal in my point of view are scrubbing data to make customers look like they lost nothing... thats a breach of trust and is punishable and those in decision positions will be held liable. I don't want the see Xmoney go down the same path.!!

  @linuxuser1996 And if you can't live without it that Paypal isn't able anymore to get money out of you ,you still can use it as a PWA without problems. The ppl who want everything, cloud, KI auto-features, face recognition etc. , despite GOS handling most should maybe have a stock as 2. phone

  @PayPal account locked up, we are american company been doing business with paypal for 24 years, we call every day, we submitted all requested documents to prove that we are a real company, "paypal help" is no help, they are withholding 100K+ , we are going to have trouble making payroll, treating a US small business in business since 1979 like some sort of scammer. this is beyond ludicrous, i'm convinced now someone at paypal is trying to steal our hard earned money, PP-L-836499913052

  @Charlie088571 @YellowBunFeet Besides, towards the end of my NSFW trayectory, I lost my payment methods due to some stupid PayPal issue, and well, I had even less desire to continue. As I said before, it was a hobby, not a passion.

  PayPal Slumps After Buyout Talks Collapse: What Just Happened & Why It Matters PayPal just lost its lifeline — and the stock got obliterated. Stripe and Advent International walked away from a $53 billion buyout. The stock crashed 12-17% in a single session, from $62 to $52. JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley had committed the money. Now it's dead. What Actually Happened In July, Stripe and Advent offered $60.50 per share — a 28% premium. PayPal's board wanted $70. The deal died. Talks revived in mid-August. Then on August 27, Bloomberg dropped the bomb: collapsed for good. The stock went from $62 to $50.98 in pre-market. A $10 billion wipeout before breakfast. Why They Walked Away - Price gap: PayPal wanted $70, buyers offered $60.50. Too far apart. - Regulatory risk: A combined Stripe-PayPal would process $3.7 trillion annually. The FTC and EU would force divestitures of Braintree or Venmo. Why the Market Crushed the Stock PayPal's entire rally this quarter was built on deal hope. The stock was up 40%+ since June. Not because earnings were great — because investors thought Stripe would rescue them. Now? The rescue is gone. And PayPal has to face ugly reality: - Revenue growing just 4% - Active accounts flat at 439 million - The "PayPal button" moat eroding as Apple Pay and Google Pay take over The stock fell back to pre-rumor levels. All the deal premium? Evaporated. What PayPal Actually Is Today - Market cap: ~$52 billion (was $360 billion in 2021) - Revenue: $33.2 billion, growing 4% - Free cash flow: $6.4 billion - Stock: From $300+ in 2021 to $52 today This is a company that prints cash but can't grow. It processes nearly $2 trillion in payments but trades at 8-10x earnings. The market sees terminal decline. The Fintech Valuation Warning Stripe is worth $159 billion private. PayPal is $52 billion public. Yet PayPal processes similar volume and generates $6 billion in free cash flow. The difference? Stripe is growing. PayPal is not. Investors pay 50x revenue for growth. They pay 8x earnings for stagnation. PayPal is the latter. If the original fintech giant trades like a utility, what does that mean for every other fintech unicorn? What Investors Should Watch 1. Don't chase M&A rumors — PayPal rallied 40% on deal hope, gave it all back in a day. 2. Fintech ETFs are risky — ARKF, FINX hold PayPal. When the bellwether collapses, the whole basket suffers. 3. Indian fintech fundraising gets harder — Paytm, PhonePe, Razorpay watch this closely. If PayPal trades at 8x earnings, why should Indian fintechs trade at 30x? Bottom Line PayPal went from "takeover target" to "turnaround story" overnight. The $53 billion bid proved it has value. The collapse proved that value isn't enough. For 20 years, PayPal was the king of online payments. Today, it's a $52 billion company fighting for relevance. When your best hope is getting acquired and even that fails, you have a problem. The fintech graveyard is full of companies that were once "too big to fail." PayPal isn't there yet. But it's walking in that direction. Is PayPal a value trap at $52, or a genuine bargain?
