What a surprise.
Funny. I don't have a creditcard and I don't want one. That is the only reason I sometimes, maybe once or twice a year I use PayPal.
I wish them good luck building a profile on 2 purchases. Also, I'm in the EU and I suspect this will not be legal here.
I also cannot believe somebody thought it would be a great idea to introduce even more tracking and ads. Don't they understand they are driving away customers?
I would've loved to have a paypal alternative if so many damn services would adopt them.
And no I'm not talking Google Pay or Apple Pay. They're just as bad.
There really isn't going to be, besides giving them your card directly (or paying crypto🤢). PayPal is less about the software and more about the service, which isn't something FOSS can really replace. An alternative would have to have a company behind it that works with major financial institutes and whatnot.
Every time I try to buy with PayPal I have to use a new account cause they ban me (VPN, simple login, VoIP phone, etc will all do it).
