  @The_Great_Null I haven't been able to work for about 2 years now due to sudden health complications needing surgery. This one illness has destroyed my husband and I financially. The injection I need isn't covered by my insurance and costs $500 month. Now my husband gets paid and after bills there like $100 left for food for 2 weeks. We have been living on cereal, cheap frozen pizzas and hot dogs. Sometimes I dont eat for a few days so the food lasts longer. If we could any donation to help out, We would be so thankful! Hopefully these gas and grocery prices go down and I get healthy enough to work again. I dont even know how much to ask for...$500 or $1000? Here is my PayPal QR code.

  🚨 PAYPAL $PYPL IS GETTING CRUSHED: Shares are down ~13% after reports that Stripe and Advent abandoned their pursuit of PayPal. • Proposed offer: $60.50/share • Implied valuation: ~$53B • PayPal reportedly viewed the offer as too low The key now: the M&A premium is disappearing, forcing investors to value PayPal on its standalone turnaround. $PYPL

  🚨 A $50B PayPal deal just became a shareholder haircut 🧾 M&A checkpoint: • Proposed takeover value: about $50B • Buyers: Advent and Stripe consortium • Status on Friday, August 28: talks abandoned • $PYPL reaction: down roughly 12% 💰 The market did not price in "maybe." It priced in a payday. When the buyers walked, the premium walked with them. Retail holders do not get a breakup fee. They get the chart. I love how Wall Street calls this "deal uncertainty" after bidding up the rumor like it was guaranteed cash. 📉 Buyout rumor investors: holding the bag 📈 Deal buyers: walking away Ahead of the M&A trap, or already holding the bag?

  @MsVeilMoney If you're bad at budgeting and paying it back yes Credit cards are great as an extra layer of security over debit cause you can issue chargebacks and stuff. It's why paypal was cool once upon a time

  Received my first bug bounty reward as a security researcher, but PayPal has now placed a permanent limitation on my account. I’ve already completed KYC and submitted all the requested documents. @PayPal @AskPayPal Please look into this and help resolve the issue.

  $PYPL Stripe and Advent Abandon PayPal Acquisition Bid: The parties reportedly terminated the proposed acquisition deal, which was valued at approximately $53 billion (or $60.50 per share). Key points of disagreement included valuation and potential regulatory risks. Pre-market Stock Plunge (Down ~12%–15%): A portion of the stock's previous gains was driven by the potential acquisition premium; with the deal off the table, that "M&A premium" has rapidly evaporated. Fundamentals Remain Solid: PayPal reported Q2 revenue of approximately $8.68 billion (up ~5% year-over-year) and adjusted EPS of $1.38, while also raising its full-year profit guidance. New CEO Driving Cost Cuts and AI Transformation: Enrique Lores plans to boost efficiency through AI integration and business restructuring, targeting at least $1.5 billion in annualized cost savings over the next 2–3 years. Key Short-Term Risk: With acquisition hopes gone, PYPL must now prove its growth potential based on its own performance while facing competition from rivals like Apple Pay and Google Pay.

  Most owners still use Claude like a polite intern who rewrites emails. That is the least useful thing it can do. Claude for Small Business now sits in Cowork with QuickBooks, PayPal, HubSpot, Canva, DocuSign, Google Workspace, and Microsoft 365. It can reconcile, chase, draft, and package work. You approve before anything sends, posts, or pays. Many never flipped the toggle. They kept pasting into chat and wondering why it sounded generic. Stop asking it for sentences. Give it a job. 1. Build a business brain. One Project: offer, pricing, voice samples, FAQ, three winning proposals, two that lost, who you sell to, what you refuse. Skip this and you keep editing sludge. 2. Monday pulse. One page: cash, uncleared settlements, pipeline, this week's commitments, three things that hurt if ignored. Ends the twelve-tab morning. 3. Chase invoices. It reads open invoices, checks settlements, drafts the follow-up, queues it. You approve. Overdue cash stops rotting in a Friday spreadsheet. 4. Close the month for your accountant. Reconcile, flag mismatches, plain-English P&L, export a packet. They want fewer surprises, not a novel. 5. Forecast the ugly week. Thirty days out. Payroll vs incoming cash. Name the week you run out if two invoices slip. 6. Find busy work that loses money. Job costs, SKUs, clients. What looks healthy on revenue and thin on contribution. 7. First-pass contracts. MSA, vendor deal, lease. Flag odd indemnity, auto-renew traps, deviations from your terms. Not your lawyer. The highlighter before the lawyer. 8. Proposal factory. Load three that closed. New draft from a discovery call, same scope style, disclaimers already in. If first drafts still take half a day, the Project is empty. 9. Discovery call to next moves. Transcript in. HubSpot brief, follow-up, open questions, scope outline out. 10. Triage inbound. Sort by fit, budget signal, time-to-close. Draft the yes, the not-now, and the no. Stop answering in arrival order. 11. Support voice from real tickets. Paste twenty replies you were proud of. New complaints get that register, not helpdesk English. 12. Campaign from the slow stretch. Where revenue dipped. Which send moved pipeline. Then Canva assets against that brief, not "we should post more." 13. Repurpose one real offer. Workshop, drop, case study. Sales email, reminder, landing section, three posts that do not sound cloned. One source. Many surfaces. 14. Lead magnet that does work. ROI calculator, quiz, scope estimator as an Artifact. If it answers a question your sales call always answers, keep it. 15. Hire with a scorecard. Role brief, first-week plan, candidate emails. Same standard every time someone quits. 16. Handbook answers the team. Policies, PTO, invoicing, refunds. Staff ask Claude instead of you at 7pm. 17. Tax folder while it is boring. Missing docs, categories, questions your accountant asks in March. October is a gift. April is a tax. 18. Vendor quotes on one page. Price, term, lock-in, exit, the thing buried on page nine. 19. Turn the Monday task you hate into a Skill. Weekly report, recap, SOW format. If it repeats and the bar is specific, stop re-prompting it. 20. Cowork the sites with no connector. Portal report, form, the CSV a vendor still emails. Messy. Cheaper than a VA on the same six screens. Do not let it send, post, or pay in week one. Watch drafts. Fix the voice. Then widen the leash. Owners getting time back are not better prompters. They gave Claude a filing cabinet, a few tools, and one job with a human checkpoint. Start with the Project, the Monday pulse, and invoice chase. The rest can wait until those feel boring. Which of these replaced a real hour, and which still produced a draft you rewrote?

  What happened today? (28 August) 1. PayPal ($PYPL ): reports that the Advent/Stripe consortium walked away from takeover talks sent shares plunging as much as 14%. Although some analysts flagged factors that could support a rebound, I am always going to call it the beautiful PainPal. 2. Marvell ($MRVL ) posted a strong quarter but shares fell as much as 8% and headed for their worst day in a month, with investors fixated on delayed timing of the Google AI deal revenue. 3. Fed rate-path uncertainty spiked after Kevin Warsh's hawkish comments pushed hike odds higher, turning the September decision into a coin flip. Market went green regardless but it did not sustain that long and we saw a delayed reaction to Fed’s comments. 4. Retail earnings were mixed but skewed positive: Gap/Old Navy parent $GAP jumped as much as 15% on an 11th straight quarter of comp-sales growth, while Walmart ($WMT ) quietly settled a federal opioid lawsuit without disclosing terms. Good news for $GAP is good news for $ZETA 5. Software seems officially back. Autodesk ($ADSK) raised guidance on strong Q2 revenue growth and Salesforce ($CRM) jumped on a Q2 beat, while Rubrik ($RBRK) sold off as investors questioned its results. 6. Amazon ($AMZN) gained about 4% after Evercore argued agentic AI could boost its retail growth outlook. 7. Eli Lilly ($LLY) got an FDA nod expanding Mounjaro's use for heart risk reduction. 8. Take-Two ($TTWO) landed a Netflix tie-in ahead of GTA VI. Netflix servers went down briefly as gamers flooded to watch the trailer. RATE HIKE and VIX SPIKE MIGHT BE COMING FOR US THIS SEPTEMBER.

  @BigMacAttack41 I used them with my business account for my blog. First in parallel to stripe. stripe works smoothly. with PayPal, I had issues, until it was so annoying that I ditched them.
