That seems excessive. Do you have any enemies you're particularly worried about attacking you? If not, then this is important but not THAT imminent of a threat

- robotcookies 11y agoI closed it more as an incentive for them to improve their security than because I feel I'm at risk. I think customers should do this more often otherwise companies are slow to address these issues. And if it were too difficult for me to close my account I'd know I am too dependent on them.
- ryanlol 11y agoWhat data do you have on your PayPal account that you're so worried about?
- eximius 11y agoI think he sufficiently justified his actions. He is just 'voting with his dollars'. I agree with him, in principle.
- deegles 11y agoI feel like it would be more effective to keep the account open and badger them every day about the issue. Worst case: they close his account (which he's already willing to do). Best case: they fix the problem :)
- mcv 11y agoYou don't have to have enemies. Criminals don't care where the money comes from. Moreover, lots of people dropping PayPal gives a strong signal that PayPal is not a suitable payment provider. It makes room for a payment provider that does this better and discourages others from feeling forced into the PayPal trap. (For the record: I closed my PayPal account many years ago, because of abundant evidence of PayPal's unreliability.)
