Paypal Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Derrick Dao (@derrick_dao) reported@danprimack Two suitors, one exit, -10% in after-hours. PayPal doesn't need a buyer — it needs a business model. That's the harder problem.

Cadillac Ceryss #smokefleet #nafo (@SerlyFilya) reported@ooyanggy 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.

apollo440 | money (@0xApollo440) reportedPayPal is supposed to be the old payments company. Stripe was willing to pay more than $53 billion for it. PayPal still has 439 million active accounts and processed $486 billion in payment volume last quarter. My read: Stripe wasn't trying to buy better payment software. It was trying to buy something much harder to build from scratch. Distribution. You can replace checkout software. You can build better APIs. Getting hundreds of millions of accounts to already know your name, trust the button and have a payment method attached is a different problem. Stripe and Advent eventually walked away from the bid. But the attempt itself says something. Sometimes disruption kills the product long before it kills the network around it.

Ryan Hutton (@ryanhutton_96) reportedI had exactly the same issue and reported paypal to the police who just laughed. I had someone send me money then they asked for a refund. I refused as they had not met refund requirements and paypal took their side, locked my account and billed me for the full amount…

CaptTriage (@CaptTriage) reportedOK, hear me out. The next directional Moderna esque arbitrage play will be Musk throwing down the gauntlet and putting in an offer for PayPal. Chances are this won’t happen but wouldn’t that be something.
-
Creed (@creedcodez) reported@Akshithrao @nischalsharma_ @Razorpay well honestly Akshith it's not really that good. if i have to integrate PayPal at the end of day, give commission to them as then on top of that my customers can't just easily pay with their cards outside india without paypal - it creates lot of issues.

XDCypher22 (@Mr_Blockchain22) reportedGreat article @XinfinUSA. You touch on a lot of points that stand true. Each crypto cycle brings a new piece of the puzzle that will enhance the use of blockchain. Blockchains immutability and AI capabilities go hand in hand. It is also notable to point out that most people don’t care how an app works, they just care that it works and serves the function that solves their problem. PayPal for example, moving money around while keeping the buyer’s credit card or banking info private. Or Venmo allowing merchants to receive payment for goods. Most people don’t know how the money is moved, they just care that they get paid as a vendor or pay a merchant as a user while keeping your data safe. Similarly with blockchain, we need AI to facilitate how a user will interact with it and nothing else. In years time, 98% of the planet wont care if your payment happened on XDC, Solana, XRP or BTC. They will care the cost of the transaction and that it didn’t fail in the process. The integration of AI will definitely close the gap between blockchain and the users. Most companies developing on AI care about the nest phase, and that is compliance and identity of those agents. Can I trust this agent to move $$$ to pay for goods and services. Can your AI agent talk to my agent to complete this transaction without falling victim of a scam, etc. We’re seeing the shift with all the companies we are meeting regarding AI and the major part of that is compliance. To move money around the world, institutions want to know if the other person on the other side of the screen or phone are who they say they are. That they will do what they say they will do, and that you’ll get either your $ or the goods you ordered. IA agents wont be any different. Then blockchain will be the immutable layer for accountability and trustworthiness. Excellent article.
