This is actually welcome news for Conservatives:

Millions of honest Conservatives with PayPal accounts should now begin spamming the Internet with statements that very nearly (but not quite) count as "misinformation."

PayPal then has to expend millions to surveil and evaluate and adjudicate the millions of statements and, in many cases, levies the $2,500.

The Conservatives then take them to court.

Side question: What if one doesn't have $2,500 on one's account? What if one has only $3.98 on one's account? Would one then owe PayPal the rest?!

Regards,

You’ll have a charge card or bank acct attached to your PP acct that they’ll draw from.

“Side question: What if one doesn’t have $2,500 on one’s account? What if one has only $3.98 on one’s account? Would one then owe PayPal the rest?!”

the key to using paypal, if one must use it, is to NEVER keep a balance ... NEVER ... ALWAYS immediately transfer any balance to your checking account ... and always use the free transfer, not the fee-accelerated transfer ... this has always been true ...

if you have a balance and pay for something with paypal, they AUTOMATICALLY and without recourse will pay with the balance ... and if someone rips you off, you HAVE to use paypal’s remediation “service” ...

that happened to me ONCE and their bogus remediation “service” resulted in a big delay and charged me a big fee, and i never got all of my money back ... never again ... funding a paypal transaction with a credit card gives you 100% of the credit card’s protection ...

when paypal was initially setup, they tried to make remediating directly with your credit card a violation of their user “agreement” ... i would do it anyway without repercussion, and shortly thereafter anyway, the credit card companies told paypay that paypal was in violation of THEIR agreement and told paypay they would revoke paypal’s use of credit card services if they didn’t renounce their paypal-only remediation requirement ... paypal had no choice but to cave ...

Presumably, yes. Most commonly, PP will have a link to your checking account such that if you buy something that exceeds your PP balance, they just extract the excess out of your ckg. Or will similarly charge it to your credit card. That’s what’s most alarming about this.

I don’t know and I don’t know how anyone CAN know whether this new policy is true or not. Maybe they lied when they announced the policy, maybe they are lying when they say “just kidding”, but the very idea they can even think of, much less impose such a policy is insane, egregious, and unacceptable.
