Back when I was doing art for money (not adult, sorry) I had years of racing to the computer to or in some cases, the ATM, to transfer new payments out of Paypal.
Because they make decisions on behalf of linked providers, like ebay. If you have ebay fees due, you don’t get flexibility when you can pay it, Paypal just grabs it the next time it sees money come in. They do this with all kinds of fees and payments, if you have a delicate life like say… being a struggling artist, you are gonna get reamed by paypal and associated predatory companies. Not that there’s a lot of choice.

Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people’s accounts.
Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn’t like you, say you sold “Fuck PayPal stickers”, they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.
