Who still uses PayPal? I never hear it mentioned here anymore. They always were a scammy company, but especially very bad for sellers as they always side with the buyers. Locking up money for months of startups without cause etc. They terminated my seller account because 'fraud', no dispute possible. Years later they terminated my buyer account for 'fraud' no dispute possible. Never participated in anything that even looks like fraud but to their AI.

Wish them many bad press.

I only use it when a seller doesn't offer any other way to pay, but there are still many, many sites that have it as the only option. A major one is Discogs; also quite a few artists on Bandcamp.
