Then if you're an indie musician on Bandcamp they give you no option but to use PayPal however if you're not on Bandcamp nobody is going to buy your music directly from your website anymore and for underground acts Bandcamp is better than Spotify but the whole forced use of PayPal there meant for a decade I couldn't use Bandcamp until I got a new PayPal account after they killed the account I had had for 15 years.

Most indie acts here sign up with a tiny indie record label who handles the profiles on bandcamp for them and deals with paypal bs. People will still buy vinyl and merch from your own site.

  that's great, so when paypal shuts down the tiny indie label they can get a bunch of acts all at once!
