    PayPal is not customer friendly, they also straight up steal funds by locking your account

      Yeah, it’s wild how close PayPal came to killing Minecraft early on by locking all of Notch’s money as soon as MC started to take off.

        In certain countries they fall under quasi-bank regulations eg. “PayPal Australia Pty Ltd (PayPal) is a limited Authorised Deposit-Taking Institution (ADI) with authority to provide purchased payment facilities (PPFs).”

        That gives some measure of protection on how they handle your funds, but holy shit I would not keep any money in a PayPal account for any longer than absolutely necessary. I use it as a convenient intermediary between my actual card and sellers, no more than that.
