Comment on I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake

Aussie here. One reason I use PayPal is for subscriptions (streaming services etc) to avoid the headache of updating credit card details in multiple places when I change bank, credit card renews, etc. just change it in PayPal once and every subscription keeps working.

Why would any one use bank details that can’t be cancelled for online services? Pay pal is worse. Will hold your money ransom. Being able to cancel payment method is very important, best is unique payment method for each service.

    Good luck with that.
    
    Paypal is cancerous middleman. You do not need.

  Agree, where I live for recurring subscriptions most people use “digital credit cards” that you generate on your banking app and they have expiration dates or you can cancel them and generate a new one anytime you want. That’s good because there are so many services that make it a pain in the ass to cancel a subscription so you just delete the card from existence.

    Exactly!
    
    I’m looking squarely at Adobe and other companys who fraudulently represent services, because nothing is a product any more and extorting money by charging rent is the new white collar crime.
