Cancelling PayPal — After more than a decade we have cancelled PayPal due to their bizarre announcement of a policy that would let it fine users $2,500 for spreading what they deemed to be “misinformation.”
When it became a topic of internet discussion the powers-that-be there shrieked “It’s a mistake” and rescinded it.
We found the service to be occasionally useful and tolerated its wokeness but this was the last straw. When a financial institution loses one’s trust it never gets it back.
Was it a mistake? Maybe in getting caught.
Goodbye PayPal and here’s a farewell tune for you.
Love it…
For those curious about alternatives to PayPal here is a link to some: https://www.investopedia.com/articles/markets/101415/4-best-alternatives-paypal.asp
Think about this, however, if you feel you are dependent on PayPal you are trapped and the trapper is not a very nice thing.
Start looking to free yourself before it is too late.
If you don’t like the services listed in the link, think outside the box. Traditional banks and credit cards would substitute for most things PayPal does.
You don’t need PayPal.
Commerce was just fine before it.
i called PayPal and spoke with them directly and they said unequivocally that they were Not doing that and had never said that at any time-
LOL! I would say the same thing in their place. Wonder who got fired?
