Paypal is for stashing $50 or so just in case you ever need to use #Paypal.
Every time I see this from #PayPal, it makes me laugh: “You have the right to cancel for a full refund unless your designated recipient has already received the payment. However, since most PayPal payments are received within seconds, you may not be able to cancel your payment for a full refund once the payment is made.”
PayPal is expanding into US point-of-sale payments, integrating its debit card with Apple Wallet and offering 5% cash back on up to $1,000 per month for a selected product group. #PayPal #AppleWallet #CashBack

I sent a p2p transfer (“popmoney”, iirc) for a few hundred to pay for hardware. A couple days later I got a voicemail demanding I call a security office. They interrogated: what are you buying - what is your relationship to the seller - /why/ are you buying it - … After answering the questions it took a day or two more for the transaction clear.
Postal workers don’t nanny us. They never stop and ask: what is in this envelope, what are you buying, etc. They do not peek inside the envelope.
USPS is mass scanning envelopes. But that metadata is still less intrusive than all the intermediaries and outsourced 3rd parties who snoop on every electronic payment to feed the aggressive appetites of Amazon and Google to track offline purchases (to trace online ads to offline transactions). Paypal shares customer data with 600 corporations:

#Paypal stole money from me. Waited till I funded an account then demanded ID. Then ignored the scanned ID card I gave them. Kept the money. Since Paypal is not a bank, they escape banking regulations.
Forced banking is becoming a reality as banks become increasingly intrusive. Most electronic payments are dysfunctional without a bank account. But cash does not discriminate against the unbanked. Cash does not feed the banks which invest in fossil fuels and private prisons. And cash does not nanny ppl. Recall that paypal, visa, mc, and amex blocked payments to wikileaks. Cash was immune to that nannying and abuse of power. What happened with Wikileaks foreshadows the dystopia ahead of us. That abuse happened when cash was still an option.
Just wait until cash is gone.. the banks will have a blank check on their control over us. We need something like 5% of the population to use cash for everything, to actively protect it from the #WarOnCash.
@marcan Any #Paypal customers reading this thread -- consider dumping them:
