I pretty much agree with these sentiments. The following post, however, is my opinion though and does not necessarily reflect on

.If other online banking/payment services aren't currently doing just as PP, they soon will. The outrage against WOKE practices is laughable when the alternative is people doing and saying whatever they want, targeting anyone they please. The lack of civility and/or self restraint in our society these days requires businesses to protect themselves from the counter clash and other outrage, real or perceived.
I don't object to the terms of use though admittedly some do raise my eyebrows and bristles my self reliant nature. The $2,500.00 fine thing will likely never get used or will be imposed on the most obvious and extreme violations (and will result in a law suit). I think of it as an over the top Caution/Deterrent to those who might otherwise push the boundaries.
I've never had PayPal balk at any of my transactions over 12 years and multi thousands of $$s worth of transactions unless the word DAMASCUS came up. That happened twice - and was reviewed and approved within 12 hours or less. Just last week, I sold a knife and the buyer wrote KNIFE is the notes without issue. Just know your laws and don't use PP for switch blades or broadcast that that is what you are doing. Helps too if you don't give your customer a reason to flag the purchase.
"The fact remains that PayPal has done me right all this time." in this regard I completely agree with DM.
