I know I should have done this a long time ago but... I need to ditch PayPal. Can my Freeper buddies suggest an alternative? Thanks

#1 they have gone woke
#2 they are making it very difficult to log on especially when using a vpn
#3 they have changed their terms and conditions and I don’t like/agree with the new terms.

They also lean left.

I don’t think there is a good alternative yet aside from crypto which only a small percentage of people use.

Thank you, I will keep an eye on that. Would be nice if they could launch it sooner so I could use it for Christmas shopping but I can wait another month or two.

Even if PayPal were run by MAGA supporters I would not use it because it is difficult to correct errors and their “customer service” is what Clark Howard would call customer no-service.

Get a credit card.

I’m in a tiff with Pay Pal right now. I ordered a 165 gallon out door deck box. FYI, that would be about the size of a desk. I received a box made from cardboard and fabric about 18 inches by 12 by 12. I sent pay pal a picture of what I received. They admit I didn’t receive what I ordered but in order to get a refund I must return the box to the seller. PP will refund shipping up to 30 dollars. I told PP they could send me a prepaid mailer. I’ve contacted my Credit Card company and they say I have no obligation to return the item since I didn’t order it. PP says they won’t refund until I return.

I’ve advised my wife to avoid PP in the future.

Paypal is safe.

I do not trust the others. They are too new. How safe are they from hackers??

I have done probably done 3000+ transasactions with Paypal and never an issue.

The only reason, IMO, to use PayPal is for safety. It removes your credit card from direct access on the internet.

I dumped PayPal a couple of years ago because I didn’t like their policies. In its place, I use a virtual credit card system (you can generate a new one-time number for each purchase with dollar and time limits). Mine is a CitiBank Mastercard. This has worked very well. I don’t like using my “real” credit card number for one-time internet purchases

I agree with the woke crap. I’ve quit buying Coke, Uncle Ben’s rice, Land-O-Lakes butter, and a number of other products, too. Yes, I know my purchases mean nothing to them, but if we can get an avalanche of others to do the same, maybe they will see just how stupid they’ve been.
