#2For the life of me I cannot understand anyone would use PayPal. I'd rather trust the postal system with an envelope of money. I have yet to see an area where there aren't better options.

#3Despite being the only person who's ever owned my email address, someone else somehow has it added to their PayPal account.
Last I checked, Google's survey app inexplicably pays out to PayPal even though they have Google Wallet, and doubly inexplicably will only pay to what it thinks your email address is with no option to change it. So… someone in Brazil has my survey payments.

#4UPI allows sending money using phone number only in India. It is at much bigger scale than Paypal. Over last 6 six years not even once sent me free money.

I've used paypal frequently for 15 years and never had a single issue at all.

#6I know that FedNow isn't really a digital currency system and I'm not making any assumptions about how it's going to play out, but I hope one consequence of it is that sites like Paypal start seeing a lot more competition and lose a lot of power.
I know other countries have similar systems, but the US being a holdout and having terrible money transfer options despite being a massive market in the tech space maybe (hopefully?) is the reason that hasn't already happened?
I don't feel like I know enough to make any predictions, I'm just hopeful.

#9Ha, I was just wondering about this, or rather, whether there was any way to disable receiving funds. Not that I could find, anyway.
I also coincidentally am having a spat with Paypal at the moment, hence my new username.

Umm... just do a password reset on their PayPal account?
