The following is why I use a prepaid Debit Card from the Dollar Store for PayPaL online payments - they can have fun taking a $2500 fine/theft from that! I never have a cash balance in PayPal. PayPal Terms Of Service going into effect November 3, 2022:

HERE COMES THE NANNY STATE! Get ready to pay up or shut up - all accounts may soon be guilty by association. I see a future class action lawsuit in my crystal ball. Guess I will be closing my PayPaL account pretty soon - sorry all you truther alt-media sites that have been accepting my donations via PayPal. Let me know when you find an alternative payment system that doesn't involve crypto.
