My only use case for paypal is booking an internal flight in a country I visit annually because they do not accept my credit card, but will accept paypal. Literally the only reason I reluctantly got an account. The horror stories I've heard, I wouldn't put any serious money in there. And their drama during the heydays of censorship a few years ago, literally fining people $2500 for politically incorrect speech at the time, I couldn't believe sane people at the company thought that was an acceptable idea. I'd really like to know the inside story of that decision. We forget how crazy 2021-2022 was.
