Good. I'm so tired of all these folks saying that we haven't always been at war with Eurasia.

Likely illegal…

However, just to be sure, my paypal account is linked to a debit card, and in the most lucky moment it could withdraw at most 70-100€.

Why on earth people keep getting credit cards and giving third parties access to them is beyond my comprehension…

Don't you have more protection with credit cards than with debit cards?

such as disputing charges that were not agreed to by the cardholder.

ive seen most banks not even bat an eyelash, at allowing overdraw, so someone makes a negative on your account instead of being stopped at zero.

but this is the crucial point: if you did agree to paypal contract you did agree to such withdrawals.

The protection is void and you have to bring the case to a lawyer and go to court.

Nah.

Supposedly you have them, but in the meantime the money is in somebody else’s pockets, you have to go to court and everything.

Good luck with that.

Are any of PayPal's competitors such as Venmo, Stripe, Skrill, Parallel Economy, Payoneer, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Amazon Pay, Square, Shopify also doing this?

haha, good question...

Venmo is owned by PayPal, not a competitor to PayPal.

Ah, thankyou for the correction.

Watching this get memoryholed in realtime is fucking amazing.

Can’t be real, probably just a misread of the real policy.

But if it is real, I can’t imagine a single customer that wants this?

is there a legal issue? how could this work?
