I thought people were already leaving PayPal in droves. I pulled my bit of money a long time ago. I can't cancel the account, as I don't have access to the phone I used to start the account years ago. So it will just sit there with a big fat zero balance until they go bankrupt.
That's so stupid. What do you mean you changed your phone that you had over 10 years ago? That'll be $2500. I would love to watch PayPal crumble into dust.
I had a cellphone many years ago, but I got tired of getting calls on it, so I canceled the service. I've never had service since. I can walk out of the house and be completely cut off from the landline phone.
You can actually cancel the account via their customer service number. I did it that way since I don't have a cell phone, and their 2FA is buggy as hell.
PayPal is still reasonably convenient for a lot of things, from obfuscating your payment method from foreign sellers (say you need a power supply at a reasonable price for a WLED project) to pay in 4 to splitting your payments between methods / credit, e.g. say you can afford half of something now, but would prefer to pay the other half off through credit.
I still like PayPal as a service, even if I hate their politics and what they try to do to subvert us. Like Amazon. Nearly instantaneous delivery for something you need is very convenient, even if they'd sooner sell you into slavery than treat you like a valued customer.

I only keep a little in myself but I write and edit for a platform online that only pays via Paypal.
