The primary reason I used to prefer PayPal was the fraud protection. That's also moot now. I was scammed by an instagram ad that purported to sell a cycling gear. Even after I reported it they never blocked the site from accepting PayPal. The scam was so obvious but they made me jump through hoops to file various complaints with various law enforcement agencies to refund my money. Save yourself some pain and stop using PayPal.Edit: It's still active: [1]

- rlpb 7y ago> PayPal also removed the option to opt-out of currency conversion. I managed to pay in the seller's currency recently, though I did notice a while back that the UI had changed and it took some digging to figure out how to do it. Or is this perhaps a country-specific thing? I'm in the UK.
