PayPal and Refunds

[halfmoonforever]

After years of working with PayPal, I noticed that they automatically credit your account the money went off instead of just crediting your PayPal account. I used to be able to keep the credit in my PayPal if I got a refund as the Rand/Dollar usually meant I can get better value for money at one point.

Seems this is not the case anymore. So heads-up.

I think that's more a response to pressure from Netflix as opposed to a business decision...

Never received such a mail, probably because I pay yearly in advance to get to the $4.99 per month

Don't care either way. They can try and keep me from accessing content, they won't succeed

Paypal seems to be more focussed on keeping businesses (and governments) as opposed to customers happy.
Can be seen with lottos, online gambling, vpn's, unotelly etc.

It's easy to "launder" money through PayPal or have foreigners have access to services they won't necessarily have without. Mostly because they'd like to control every aspect of people's finances and/or lives.

I'm more than happy to switch to a crypto currency once it's more mature/adopted by most. No central bank that can devalue a currency because it needs more money and peer-reviewed so fraud isn't as rampant.
