PayPal

[1olbull]

I can no more abide the strong-arm left wing political tactics and I have got to get rid of PayPal!
Any suggestions from my Rocket Freedom Brothers?

What exactly you talking about call me or private message me if needed

What does PayPal have to do with left wing politics?

Here is a hint from MSN

You believe MSN?

Google pay exists, though I've never used it, I think Apple has something similar

[Tripps]

Aha, I see, they gotta be kidding, they'd get their asses sued off, lol.

Well, 99% of what is posted on the political side is missinformation, they would make a killing

Doesn’t anybody pay with cash anymore or am I too old school

[1olbull]

Dave,
I do whenever possible, but exchanging money regarding Motor parts sales makes cash impossible.

[Tripps]

I use a lot of cash, except for when buying online, then PayPal is handy, don't have to fill in a lot of forms.

[1olbull]

Same here -
Amazon or ??? is why I need to replace PayPal.

When in the Dallas airport I went into a shop to buy a Diet Pepsi. Credit card or apple pay only. i walked out and watched a clerk less food shop that takes money out of your credit card as you enter, As you pick up your snacks the food is scanned (I don't know how) and the money is taken from your card. So no people (clerks) involved from entering and leaving. At the restaurant in the airport you downloaded the menu on your phone and picked what you wanted. After you pick the food gets made up and the check amount is removed from apple pay or one of the other payment apps. Cash is quickly on the way out. The waitress that saw me struggling while my wife tried to explain it to me helped out and I tipped her cash so no tax was taken out of her tip amount. Cash is dead!

That’s because they are tired of being forced to pay people that look like they tripped n fell face first into a tackle box n got tattoo’d by mike Tyson $20 an hour 🙄

Never have ordered anything from online don’t plan on either if they don’t have phone number where I can talk to someone it won’t never happen will never put credit card number on line no matter how secure they say they are

80% of my purchases are online, got my identity stolen from a local, go figure,,,

[1olbull]

Nuttin' wrong with being careful, David!

[Tripps]

I never had a problem in many thousands of purchases, perception is rarely reality, Dave. 😉

Cash is on the way out on purpose. They will wind up having some form of govt. digital currency...no banks will be needed. Not only does this insure tax compliance they will then have full control of what you buy...where you travel (think no gas for you) etc. What you can buy will be determined at the flick of a switch. The whole thing will be based on a social behaviour system akin to what China currently has. This is by far the worst thing that could happen to our country and don't for a minute think it can't.

Steve...I use GayPal only when it is the only form of payment accepted and credit cards for all the rest. I know of no alternative. Apple Gay and Google are all run by the usual leftist, tech tyrant scum which I try not to support whenever possible. Not sure if you knew but GoFundMe is a stay away also. Remember how they stole all the monies for the Canadian truckers as per their masters edict. There is however a number of alternatives to them...https://solutionsuggest.com/gofundme-alternatives/

[1olbull]

I totally agree and thanks for the comment.

[Rocket Scientist]

GayPal 🤣

I can't remember the last time I had to use PayPal anywhere. But I know the banking system here is very different to the US. I know that PayPal was seriously hit by the elimination of the eBay:PayPal insistence. And currently they are suffering (as are many traditional banks) from the myriad of FinTechs.

I would consider (if you have not already) one of the FinTechs that allow you to set up one-time-use cards. Always with 2FA and NEVER NEVER NEVER let any device "remember" the password. But treat them as Payment Platforms not banks.

[Tripps]

Lol, exactly why I use PayPal.

[1olbull]

I have always hated going to crowded stores. I was very reluctant to buy anything online and still do mistrust my computer. I got totally hooked on internet buying even though previously I thought Amazon was a stupid idea.
I only use PayPal to transfer money back and forth selling and buying used motorcycle parts from Friends.

[barbagris]

Sr Toro - Much better ways than Paypal to do this. Most of the FinTechs are way way better. I use one that is multi-currency. You can hold multiple currencies. Based in the UK, run by Estonians, backed by Belgian central bank. There are others - including some that allow you to hold crpto.
