Well… looks like I’m going to have to find a new payment platform to use.

This would be? Most stores I know of either want your credit card information directly, or paypal
Never really saw a international big player like this.. Here in Switzerland we have twint as alternative, but it is only available on most swiss stores.

Well, stripe is relatively often available as well..

What I wanted to tell is, paypal does not need to be the best payment service for end user, it needs to be the cheapest and easiest service to implement in your store. The store does not care about your data going to paypal, the store only sees the cut they have to gove the payment services.

I'm surprised that they haven't been doing this from the start tbh. Obviously they've been selling your data to whoever, which is really the same I guess.

Funny. I don't have a creditcard and I don't want one. That is the only reason I sometimes, maybe once or twice a year I use PayPal.

I wish them good luck building a profile on 2 purchases. Also, I'm in the EU and I suspect this will not be legal here.

I also cannot believe somebody thought it would be a great idea to introduce even more tracking and ads. Don't they understand they are driving away customers?

Every time I try to buy with PayPal I have to use a new account cause they ban me (VPN, simple login, VoIP phone, etc will all do it).
