Don't use PayPal!!!

This is the worst company ever. I ordered an online service with paypal and it was thefts, who created automatic subscription for my order. So I contacted paypal to terminate this subscription and paypal said they DON'T HAVE ANY CUSTOMER PROTECTION FOR DIGITAL GOODS!!! Only physical goods have protection with paypal.

So they just let thefts to transfer my money each month for doing nothing and paypal didn't allow me to cancel subscription!!!!

After losing a few hundreds of dollars I just closed my credit cards and created a new one to stop this madness.

I hate paypal so much!!!!

While PayPal is widely used internationally, its convenience varies by country. Some users have a smoother experience than others. The currency conversion rates are not always favorable, and many face high fees. Additionally, the terms of service can be complex and restrictive, leading to account limitations, sometimes just for receiving slightly more money than usual. Because of these issues, I’ve had a better experience with other services.

Always block some card or transfer. But easy for foreign purchases.

Avoid PayPal. There are many services that do the exact same thing for payment processing.

First, PayPal sells your data: PayPal is building an ad network, leveraging user data and AI for targeted advertising

Second, PayPal censors people it disagrees with: https://www.thefire.org/news/paypal-no-pal-free-expression

Avoid.
