PayPal inactivity fee
I have only ever used paypal to pay for things with a credit card. I was tricked into having the account at all by a fraudlent and misleading UI built by ebay and that&#x27;s the only reason I had it in the first place. I did use it to pay for some things so I guess their plan worked.<p>Paypal recently, after a decade or so of use, demanded I hand over multiple forms of ID. I refused and said close the account. They refuse to close the account because I have not handed over ID documents that I don&#x27;t want them to have on their files because they are untrustworthy both ethically and in terms of competence as you guys know well.<p>So the account is there ready to be hacked. I&#x27;ve pointed this out to them on about 20 separate occasions and they refuse to close it.<p>Paypal are crooks. It is in their dna. They&#x27;re crooks for no reason, just from force of habit. You cannot trust them in any way. Society allowing them to have any market power whatsoever is completely insane. Yet another case of a cpu attached to a network being on the critical path of what some company is doing preventing otherwise intelligent humans from thinking a normal, critical fasshion about what they are doing and forming a minimally appropriate response, trapping the rest of us who literally cannot act at all.
