It's a ripoff and always has been.

What are alternatives to paypal? They have become way too powerful, monopolistic, and evil.

Any recommendations?

If I have to use PayPal to buy something, then I won’t buy it. I use cash, by debit card (from my bank) and Revolut.

As an idealist I want to say Monero, but to be fair most merchants don't accept it yet. I usually use cash in person, or virtual cards from privacy.com online.

I ran an informal poll and Joe Average believes ALL CRYPTO ARE A SCAM. They're not going to use Monero any time soon, sadly.

With the digital dystopia that is unfolding it's becoming an easier sell, especially to those who value freedom and privacy.

I sell gun parts through PayPal and they don't even suspect it. Obfuscate. Always obfuscate. Oh, and clear out your account every day.

Even if you're flying under the radar for now you're still giving a bad company money through payment fees.

Better than no revenue.

Fuck PayPal. Companies that do this should be liquidated.
