PayPal is really going to shit, isn't it? The only thing I use it for now to to pay artists for commissions.
But even then I want to get away from it.

Deleting my PayPal

 

[z_shadowalker]

This is just another reason not to use PayPal, I'll add it to this list.

you, as a user should always read "ALL" of the terms in a contract.

80k is nothing to a company like paypal, it makes 80k every 10 minutes (probably every 2 minutes)

Deleting my PayPal

lol, ya right

Anyone saying "Oh no! I'll delete X" has me rolling my eyes. There's a reason paypal is as big as it is.

i hate paypal with a passion but have been using it forever & i'll continue to use it.

it makes me a good amount of cash & i can sell to anyone, anywhere in the world.

my buyers like that it protects them & i'm good with happy customers that pay me in advance.

am i running a questionable business ??

you'll have to ask someone else LMFAO

I do wonder if giving account number and sort code would work? Only thingy you can do with those bank details is send money to it.

It asked fkr a reason and if everyone said gift it would be sus. But if people put animation or programing it would be legit

i could say how i've been doing electronic sales but as soon as I say it in public they'll be 180k people doing it & i'm not killing a good thing.
its worked for me over the last 6 years, no problems

So you saying that it could work? Suppose thr only problem is that it cn be identified. But I guess if you don't say what it is you be ok?

Paypal froze one of my accounts for suspicious activity once. Never got it back even when I appealed. The rep on the phone even looked at my transactions and saw nothing wrong with them. They sent it to the appeals team but I was told they basically never look at anything and never rolls back on frozen accounts. Luckily I didn't have money on it, but I couldn't use Pay-in-4 anymore. Never went back. They are kinda garbage.

i put up an ad for "my product" that is not "a paper envelope", you reply to the ad knowing exactly what it is.

i sell you "a blank paper envelope" for $22.95
you pay for "a paper envelope"
i send you "a paper envelope" + my product at no cost

totally legit, it just like what they do to you at mcdonalds....... (but i don't charge you anything extra)

you go in to get a $0.99 drink & end up with a big mac meal with a quarter pounder & upsized fries on the side

if i was a woman i could just sell my farts in a jar for $200 a pop.
paypal wouldn't give a crap about selling farts

EDIT: YOU JUST GAVE ME A GREAT IDEA

PayPal itself wasnt doing so hot a few years ago, their bank fees were terrible and the only good deal they had was with ebay. What saved them is venmo.

1 account doesn't make a difference, but I choose where my money goes and dont support companies that are anti me
