> Has there been recent drama with PayPal? Not heard of anything directly involving GitHub but PayPal have created a huge amount of drama around updates to their terms of service: https://www.theregister.com/2022/10/10/paypal_fine_disinform... .

We hear a lot from people who have had a bad experience using PayPal. But is there anyone who has had a good experience, either as a merchant, or as a customer?
Makes it super easy when you get a new card or a card expires to simply change the card in PayPal without having to go through and change the card everywhere you used it.
I know PayPal gets a bunch of hate for some of their business practices, but I think most of that comes down to them being in the financial services industry which is the most regulated industry to operate your business in. This is the reason why you don't see much competition when it comes to payment processing.

If you're in Europe, I can recommend N26. They have a bank card that functions as a "credit card". Only you need to have a balance on it or the transactions won't go through, because the account is charged instantly.
do not ever use N26 for anything else than a credit card though, don't have your main account with them, they lock accounts without giving a (concrete) reason and are then unreachable.

Funny you say that when nineteen eighty-four was a warning on the logical endgame of left wing ideology.
You are of course free to think that Stalinism in the 1984 style is the inevitable endgame of leftism, but it's very very clear that Orwell didn't think so.
Open collective exists, although the current open source collective fee is brutal(10% from all transactions)
Typically, $1/m = $0.46 for the org.

> and there it was, my bank account number. I was able to transfer to it without coupling after all So you could totally transfer without coupling... the real problem was you didn't know your bank account number?
In the end I could, but not before Paypal attempted to convince me to couple my whole bank account with their systems, twice. The second ‘attempt’/flow allowed me to enter my IBAN. I will change my original comment to reflect that.
I had to convince it that it didn't recognize my bank to eventually put in account numbers rather than give it credentials to your bank's online account. I think I put in the wrong routing numbers to get to that form. Definitely a bad experience!
paypal sucks but it's kind of convenience.
