I always forget I have a PayPal account until the mother-in-law sends money through it for the kids for Christmas or birthdays...

I closed mine by logging into my account and requesting that they close my account and delete all info.

They replied with an email notifying me that they had received my request and were working to complete it. I believe it took them a few weeks before I received another email notifying me that my request had been completed.

Left PayPal long, long, long ago when the writing first appeared on the wall...

For anyone still using it, lie down with dogs, expect fleas...

I used it about once/month. Then closed my account a couple of months ago when I realized they were using their power to attack free speech.

Good on you.

All these big tech platforms have been corrupted by the Dems. I suspect they worked out a deal between them a few decade ago that if big tech did their bidding, they wouldn’t break up big tech’s monopolistic business practices.

Yes there are racist there, but gab gives you the tools to filter that crap out.

Rather than filter it out, respond to it with facts, tolerance and logic. They (racists, the REAL ones) hate that as much as liberals do (but I repeat myself- to-MAY-toe,

By tolerance I mean putting up with things that I don't much like but that don't really harm me or others. Like the fact that 70% (+/-) of black folks are born out of wedlock. I don't use that because it does me or no one but themselves harm. If I say it, it is processed by others as hate speech rather than as a fact. If the queers want to call their unions marriage, let 'em. I don't agree, but it's not a hill to die on. Bad policies, OTOH, affect us all. YMMV.

Thiel needs to buy back into a minority stake and sort this shit out. But he has that classic homo blind-spot where they simply won't own their mistakes.

Therefore, the thing to do is to starve PayPal.

If you own it - sell.

If you're using it - stop.

We stopped this summer. If you must use it until you get with the program and port to an alternative, keep minimal dollars on balance. If conservatives woke tf up, we could take down eBay AND PayPal in 2023. (And Etsy just for the hell of it).

But many of the racists there are fake...just trying to make Gab look bad. So I just ignore them. Block and move on.

No it is very clearly speech related, which his highly suggestive of content control. They put out a policy saying they would ding users $2500 in “fees” if they found a user violating their speech codes. They got a lot of pushback for that; claimed it was an ‘error’ in their terms of use update... and then a few weeks later snuck some very similar terms back into their TOS.

Just the anecdotes are enough - why ban a guy who sells a phone that is free from the Apple/Google ecosystem? Either they are acting in anti-competitive ways with their two largest mobile platforms, or they don’t like the idea of a phone that would allow users to load apps unapproved by the duopoly of Apple/Google for the speech implications such a device would enable. Couple that with their alignment with the ADL and SPLC and the answer is pretty clear. Though, to be fair, PayPal might be concerned about getting kicked off the Apple/Google duopoly if they don’t police content.

The other credit card companies and banks will attempt to do this at the behest of the democrat party.

Been trying to get my money from them for nearly 10 years now. I won’t conform to their requirements of reporting as income especially when its under a hundred bucks.
