    Aral Balkan Retweeted Mailpile

    Fucking @PayPal strikes again: https://twitter.com/MailpileTeam/status/375571329354706944 … STOP. USING. PAYPAL. Stop supporting these bastards. Use @stripe instead.

    Aral Balkan added,

    Mailpile @MailpileTeam
    Paypal is therefore going to hold up to $45,000 in assets from a small free software project, collecting interest on it, for a year.

        @aral @PayPal @stripe not an alternative to PayPal since you have to live in USA, UK, Ireland or Canafa in order to use Stripe.

        @aral — In the UK at least, though, Direct Debit payments are an alternative (cf. @gocardless)

        @aral — I wish, sincerely, that there was a good way for individuals (not businesses) to accept CC payments online, other than PayPal.
