I never actually got the point of PayPal tbh.

I think it was easier to type one password to pay for something instead of a massive load of numbers from a credit card.
I closed my PayPal account this week over this $2,500 bullshit.

Maybe but most people just ended up using their browser or a password manager to hold their PayPal number in the first place. Might as well use your credit card no?

I'd rather let PayPal be the front end that deals with the website, instead of giving those r-slurs at the website my CC info.
Of course, I assume PayPal doesn't simply forward my CC info to the other party.

I just closed mine over it too. They've been doing something shady at least once a week lately, I don't trust them with any of my information anymore.
Last time I tried to link a bank account to them, they tried to get me to sign in through plaid, which is a service that asks you to give them the user ID and password to your bank account in order to verify your info, with their promise that they won't use it for anything nefarious later. Imagine being stupid enough to actually do that. When plaid inevitably gets hacked or worse just straight up sells their database to someone, a lot of people are going to have their life savings stolen, and they'll find out the hard way that there's no way for their bank to reverse the transaction, since "they" logged into "their own" account and transferred the money out.

That isn't how Plaid works, but I'll allow this (((misinformation))) since Plaid is yet another fintech company scraping your transaction data for our Silicon Valley overlords.

If it doesn't work that way now, it sure used to.

I'd never heard of it when I was redirected from Paypal, and they definitely asked me for my bank credentials.

The only thing I've used it for lately is buying stuff from foreign countries. You usually will have a lot of trouble doing that with a debit card. Even if you call your bank and tell them you're about to do it, visa or mastercard or whoever actually processes your transactions will almost certainly flag it as fraud anyway.
