    There are a lot more reasons not to use them. Like their arbitrary way of doing business, putting small owners out of business because they simply do not get their money.

      Yep, Paypal has been on my no list since early 2000.

          Locking people’s/businesses’ accounts for “questionable” funds. By locking I mean they were keeping funds from being released from accounts for long periods of time. Enough so that 2 of my friend’s small businesses ran out of funds and ended up having to shutdown. Among a ton of other things they were doing. The fund locking locking was just the worst they were doing/have been doing. (They will still do it.)

    I’m not casting doubt, as PayPal is a very shitty company, however your ‘proof’ is to an petition platform, which is inherently biased also your image doesn’t seem to come from that page, so it isn’t even a source.

    My question is how the discrimination is actually put in place, how does Paypal know whether someone in Gaza is a Palestine or an Israeli.

    I shut my account down a few days ago anyway. Got an email that said paying with PayPal would require a debit or credit card through them. No thanks lol
