  @mayaofficialph Hello! Is the Paypal to Maya send not working? It says "received" in the transaction and yet, it's not reflected in the balance. Please help. Kinda urgent

  The problem: banks and PayPal use the mid-market rate, then add a fee on top. You rarely see the real cost. It's buried in the exchange rate itself.

  Hey @PayPal, your website has a bug. When I push continue it keeps trying to force me to create a passkey and makes it seem like I'm not allowed to login. Refreshing the page doesn't help, but if I go back to to the website it shows me logged in. Who's vibe coding this stuff?

  payment processors freeze merchant funds every single day high-chargeback niche? frozen. too much volume too fast? frozen. product category they don't like? frozen. sometimes no reason at all. just frozen. Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments. doesn't matter which one. if a third party holds your revenue, they have all the power and you have none the only real fix is removing the middleman entirely @privcartcom is a non-custodial crypto payment plugin for Shopify that i have built. merchants accept $btc, $eth, $sol, $xmr, stablecoins and more. funds go straight to your own wallet on every transaction. 1% flat fee, no KYC, no chargebacks. there is no account to freeze because there is nothing held on your behalf this is what merchant financial sovereignty actually looks like

  @Uniquecomics1 @LogWeaver Michael Burry shorted AI darlings like Nvidia & Palantir last year, then watched software stocks crash 20-30% on technical debt issues (not fundamentals). Now he's buying resilient names like PayPal, Adobe, Salesforce—self-funded companies trading at 2018-level valuations with rising earnings forecasts. Lesson: Top investors follow the data, not permanent narratives. Retail does the opposite.

  @AskPayPal @PayPal This is so bad if you are not allowing me to send outgoing payment out of my PayPal to another PayPal. I have an urgent medical issue to attend to and it has been affecting me. Your agents are not being of help also, help me to check it out.

  @RavencoinAssets @MangoFarmAssets Will send over to Alex and see if he can deduct. We did have a server down but that’s back up now. As for ipfs, we are only enabling PayPal for now. Direct use of RVN was too difficult to manage.

  I was testing a payment on a WordPress website using PayPal Commerce. All payment methods worked EXCEPT for Venmo. My debit card is on the Venmo account. It's been a few months since I actually used my Venmo account to send a charity some funds. I did a test transaction on the website and the Venmo declined!! Error: "This payment cannot be processed because there was an error with the capture order API call." I contacted Venmo support and spoke with a tech. He indicated that as I had not physically logged into my Venmo account recently, that the internal security rejected the transaction. This is insane. I had a valid card set up. The API call was valid. The transaction SHOULD have been approved. When I asked the support tech how often I needed to log into my Venmo account so it wouldn't throw this type of security rejection, he recommend twice a week. Venmo, this is an absolutely insane requirement. I may go months before I log into my @PayPal account and it approves payments without any issues. I've been in technology since the 1970's and actually developed one of the early credit card authorization systems for online merchants. I did application development for over 25+ years. I have owned a website development firm for the past 22+ years. I am NOT a noob when it comes to computer, internet, and website technologies. I've NEVER, EVER seen a requirement that I have to log into a payment processor every so often just to let them know, "Hey, I'm still here"! @Venmo

  @JuanRodrig07 Please never compare to Adobe to PayPal. PayPal is full of incompetent leaders that could be slapped in the face with the solution and they’d still be trying to fix the problem with a DEI department.

  Every system has failed me. An original police captain’s inaction wasted my 180-day @PayPal protection and @Chime chargeback windows. I’ve been caught in a loop of "not our problem" while the intruder extorted significant funds and manipulated my digital life.

  GenZ Investor (@investingbyGenZ) reported 55 minutes ago

  $PYPL has quietly climbed back into the 50s, and the PayPal Beyond 2026 event last week in San Francisco is a big reason sentiment has stabilized. - Earlier this year, PayPal got hit hard: weak 2026 guide, CEO exit, and the previous 2027 growth targets (8–10% branded checkout TPV, 7–9% TM$) were scrapped after a sharp Q4 miss. At the lows around $40, the stock was pricing in something close to a broken business. - At Beyond 2026, new CEO Enrique Lores used his first big stage to reset the story: focus on operational efficiency, AI‑driven innovation, deeper partnerships, and doubling down on commerce infrastructure that keeps merchants in control while opening them up to the full PayPal + Venmo consumer base. - The recent product moves fit neatly into that narrative: - Canva integration – PayPal Payment Links embedded directly into Canva, plugging PayPal, Venmo and Pay Later into the fast‑growing social/creator commerce layer. - Venmo going global – Venmo users can now transact with PayPal accounts across 90 markets, with international fees waived for a launch period, plus more push on debit, checkout and rewards. My view: the move back into the 50s feels more like a rerating from “doomsday” levels than a reaction to some explosive new growth story. PayPal hasn’t shown anything at Beyond or in the recent news that would make me believe in a sudden growth acceleration – no new flashy multi‑year targets, just a more disciplined, execution‑focused message. At the same time, between Beyond 2026, the Canva partnership and the Venmo globalization, it’s increasingly clear that their core position is stable and they have real levers to pull beyond 2026 if Lores executes. So I read this as the market moving from “priced for disaster” to “priced for a solid, mature payments franchise with some optionality,” rather than the start of a new hyper‑growth chapter.

  @AskPayPal received a payment today and you put it on hold. This is a company account we are operating since last 4-5 years and never had any issues. We need this money to deliver the product to client. You can confirm payment from client if need be but holding it is wrong here.
