There are no good options if you're speaking against the narrative. Paypal, however, is the worst of the worst, and has been for most of it's life.
The amount of times it's just flat out stole money is absurd at this point
Meh. I’ve been using PayPal for 15 years or so. Only a few issues that really related to how eBay was operating (even worse now that they manage payments differently) and a time when 2 days before a fucking Hurricane, an Indian programmer I’d contracted for several jobs decided he’d trick me into typing in my credentials on a phishing site hosted on my own server. That was back in 2004. Got me for a couple grand. PayPal got it back to me while I was evacuated for the hurricane. Not too bad.
But everyone’s mileage varies.
I've had a couple of accounts closed with the "We've detected unusual activity" bullshit. I didn't keep anything in them, so no money lost.
For a while, it seemed like a lot of small events and whatnot used them as their payment processor, which meant I had to re-open an account if I wanted to attend said event. I closed my last account when Paypal started doing the "You have a lifetime limit of $1500 unless you connect your bank account" bullshit.
By that time, other small business payment processors came online, and pretty much everything I wanted to attend had dropped PP as their processor because they didn't want to get cancelled because they happened to have a panel or event that PP didn't approve of.
Do you like any of them more than another. I’m sure kikes own it, like everything else, but Yotta has been a very positive experience. It’s not for transactions, but no lie I am way up on there.
For transaction, all of them are just copycat. I do like the opportunity to add “boosts” which save me a good bit on groceries combined with my couponing I do.
Still, I’d prefer cash. I have yard sales often as I have a scrapping and deal finding hobby....cash to Venmo/CashApp ratio is like 50:50. I’d prefer cash.
