Curious what is the alternative in Canada? Non of the others seem to support anyplace out of the US.

I would say Email money transfer, Credit Card transactions, and in the long term digital currency will take over.

I see, Mainly asking about how you would do transactions between the US or other countries without paypal. At this point there just doesn't  seem to be a alternative.

What happened there? My guess is some terms of service BS.

I clicked on their new crypto offering to review costs, how it works, etc. Account was locked 24 hour later due to "unusual activity" and apparently I accessed their site from a non-secure VPN (work laptop). They requested a bunch of personal info to unlock the account and I was like, "Meh. F it."

Well all the dealers and auction houses take cards.. If you insist on Paypal, then I am SOL, but I feel better having left them.

I had enough of the payment system.

Their support service went downhill. I went out of may way to not use it. They snuck in a $20 inactivity fee in Canada. That was the last straw for me.

I hope others move away from PayPal to another service.

u can try payoneer tho. I personally find it much better. You can also enjoy crossplatform sharing but they do cost 30 USD for a year of inactivity.

I would derail this by merely sending someone a $1 dollar every whatever the time limit is.
