best alternative to paypal?
2 years ago
General
so aside from the outrageous fees and catholic use policies, apparently paypal is now pushing the use of ai into its platform for no fucking reason.
anybody know a good alternative that's safe and secure, preferably as anonymous as possible, and doesn't require customers to have an account? the last place i tried had a fucking 5 year contract (that it didn't tell you about until you signed up- i ain't using a service that refuses to delete my account when i fucking tell it to) so i'm hesitant to try new things but i'm really sick of paypal.
paypal's right out, venmo's owned by paypal....
payoneer and square have higher fees...
boosty has even higher fees plus no cancel/refund ability...
zelle and cashapp also have no cancel/refund ability...
paysend has extremely fishy privacy policies...
stripe is looking like my only option but its fees are no better and it's owned by the super-rich...
is there really NOTHING else???
I AM NOT INTERESTED IN DEBATING POLITICS OR ECONOMICS. I AM ONLY LOOKING FOR MEANS TO SECURELY EXCHANGE FUNDS FOR COMMISSIONS.

The reason for them pushing towards AI is just growrth. In our economy you "have to do something" most of the time once you can reached maximum growth in your core business.
Fear without being or becoming rich, you cannot achieve a globally-usable payment system :/
One more option to check if it is compatible with your personal values would be Boosty.
Fees are 10% apparently.

not interested in discussing the politics of ai or economics, just looking for secure payment systems.
