Here's three rules someone once gave me which I can't emphasize strongly enough. 1. Never use Paypal. For ANY reason. 2. Never. Use. Paypal. For. Any. Reason. 3. See rule #1.
What's the alternative?

Doesn't matter. That clause is invalid in most countries.
That may well be the case but forced arbitration clauses are legal in the US. There have been several recent Supreme Court cases that upheld mandatory arbitration clauses.

I only ever use Paypal as a wrapper around credit card transactions for merchants I trust enough to purchase from, but not necessarily enough to handle my credit card information directly. I can't say I've ever had a problem using them that way.

> something sane like a bank transfer FTFY. Zero fees, zero megacorps taking their cut, zero social graphs in the US growing a few extra tuples
in the US wire transfers cost about $30 per transfer, international cost about $50. If you're transferring to another customer in the same bank then they're free but I've never had that luxury. Were you referring to bank transfers to same bank customers? Because I've never heard of zero fees for bank transfers

Uk here - I can transfer amounts under 10k in under 2 hours without any fee, to any other uk bank. If I want to send more, it's about 20 pounds, and completed in a day. I can TransferWise money anywhere in Europe (not tested the US) for far less than those prices too.
Just close your account if you have a PayPal account at all. They limit and freeze funds at random and good luck resolving it. OP, You can refund the funds to the sender less Paypal's 30¢ cut, I believe. That might be the best way to get the money back to your friend, and then they can re-send it to you with something sane like Google Wallet.

It's a major problem how dependent most online payment processing is on PayPal (or directly credit cards if you're "lucky", and occasionally Amazon's payment processing). Aside from Bitcoin is there actually a real alternative?
It would be very tricky to convince a business to pay your invoice in Bitcoin.

1. Banking industry has some legal requirements. More than Facebook does, for sure. 2. I If you want my purchase history, you can subpoena a bank for it. Whereas I wouldn't be surprised with "App Permissions" to allow to view 'previous purchases'. 90% of people wouldn't know/care. 3. I don't want, nor need every account under the sun hooked up to a SPOF. In this case, it's Fb. That also applies to Google as well. 4.…
What are you even talking about?
Because, reading comprehension is fundamental. You might want to watch a Youtube video about it....
