| I've scaled back my Paypal use as much as possible due to some drama Paypal
caused in the UK regarding censorship in the past week or so along these lines.
I only use it now when there is absolutely no alternative, and I sent customer
service a polite email to explain why.
It's a principles issue.

Previously thought paypal was one of the greatest companies in the world. Really
wish there was a viable alternative. At least ebay ditched them and created their
own payment processor. It does amuse how every single "mistake" or "leak" always
seems to benefit only one side.

In truth I think you'll find it actually benefited both companies....
ebay get to have more control over managing payment issues so they can resolve
things more directly with their customer base and in return paypal still take
a share of the pie whilst only having to deal directly with one huge customer(ebay)

No need to exaggerate. It was an honest mistake¹. They actually won’t do it.
Pinky-swear.
¹ As in: Oops, sorry, sir! That was an honest mistake. Here’s the $20 bill

I signed up for Sum Up just for UK use ~ https://www.sumup.com/en-gb/ it's
cheaper than Paypal and we used it at a show a couple of weeks ago, absolutely
no problem. I wish online venues would take this up.

This means you're making business or money either against the Laws
or not under the acceptable use policy?
Like getting paid for membership to your flat-Earth / Never gone to the moon
Society? Or this other one where Women are inferior? Worse?
Frankly... I don't have a problem with those Terms.
But I admit it shouldn't PayPal that rules this: but Judges.

| Looting the account isn't the way to do it. Just ban them and transfer their
money to whatever bank they have connected or send them a check or whatever.
Time and time again we find that deplatforming works, but paypal isn't entitled
to their money any more than they are entitled to a paypal account.

This wouldn't affect a buyer-only account.
