I’ve been working in the last few years of getting rid of big tech services. PayPal and Amazon are left. I’ve been questioning the need for PayPal in a world of virtual credit cards. My main reason for using it was security of purchase but I feel this need is no longer there. BTW, equivalent EU service to PayPal that is equally well accepted? Feels like this one may be more difficult to satisfy.

    Sellers get a larger margin on eBay. You can’t get perfect but you can get better. The return/exchange policy is a small tradeoff for not supporting one of the most evil corporations in existence. It’s also kind of a selfish thing to care about, most of Amazon’s returns are just trashed into the landfill so it’s not like it’s green or something.
