PayPal playing with peoples money.

[Ohiogoldfever]

Id imagine most people have heard by now that PayPal tried to implement a policy allowing them to take 2500.00 from your accounts (straight out of your bank account) should they find you have post on social medias what they decide is Misinformation.

Our world is nuts and people say some wild stuff but what in the hell are these people thinking?

I’ve deleted my account. Apparently it takes 30 days to process?

When things designed as a payment tool tries to steal peoples hard earned money over political leanings I say bankrupt the greedy pricks.

If you have a PayPal account that sits idle I’d suggest breaking ties. Before some “error” costs you money.

I haven't heard what that was all about. Thanks for the heads up. Sucks I use them daily for my small business.

well they changed their minds and cancelled that after media backlash. Plus I imagine class action lawsuits were soon to follow.

This is exactly why I posted. To hopefully shine some light on this for anyone who may have missed it.

I’d say your fine as long as you do exactly as your owners…. I mean leaders tell you to.

We used PayPal once years ago then got so many spam related emails.
Account hacked, uncollected funds, they still come in the spam folder.
Rather do business with a company that accepts other means of payments.

Yessir. I used it heavily for a few years. Now it was sitting idle. I’m headed to my bank this morning to update my checking account. If you claim it as possibly compromised they will change over the account number lickity split. Just have to update any auto pays you have and your golden.

Plus a fresh number that’s not been used online a million times is a great way to help foil identity theft attempts.

Once bit-now shy
Like i said if they want PP, I just say P off-more places than money.
We don't online very often-can count on my fingers actually the # of times.
Like to support local-costs more-but at least I get service if it brakes/returns.
Bloody postage costs more than most items today.

I agree completely. I’m a small business owner myself so I am a diehard Buy Local guy. unfortunately lots of what I need can’t be had within 30 miles radius so ordering is the reality of things.

I’ve never agreed with the idea of social engineering. I won’t stand for a service started in the idea of convenience using peoples own money against them.

Even if they walk it back once it pisses everyone off.

Can you imagine the kind of person you’d need to be to come up with a plan like that, let alone implement it on a millions of people scale.

We have only one real way to fight for what’s right. With our pocket books. Let them burn and hopefully it will give pause to the next multi billionaires who want to push their ideals on the masses.

I just wish more people would pay attention to the things happening in our world and do even something small to hold tyrants accountable.

Paypal has always been over the top when it comes to trying to be "politically correct" For example you can't use Paypal to pay for auctions on gunbroker. Now for those unfamiliar gunbroker is a firearms related auction site set up much like Ebay. They are very careful to insure that transactions are done legally and handled through 3rd party licensed dealers who do the background checks. But the powers that be at Paypal have decided they don't like firearms, even completely legal ones, so they refuse to partake in that money. It;s caused a whole new creative way of doing business. Selling "machine parts" and other catch phrases to get past the Paypal bots.

I use paypal almost weekly.
No issues here.
What I do see often, are shady sellers willing to accept paypal "friend and family", to advoid paying fees.
Not a good idea for the buyer, or paypal.
