    About freaking time. I have it as an option but I hate using it. I’ve been looking for alternatives for a while now because I just expect to lose a couple hundred bucks in “processing” for every project I work on.

    I stopped using PayPal well over a decade ago because of high fees and shitty seller protection. Not sure why anyone else kept using them.

      Unfortunately some services are tied to paypal. For example I use discogs a lot, and you have no other option (choosing the credit card payment method is still tied to paypal services).

    paypal fees are ridiculous… and they aren’t the only ones–some others are equally high now, too.
