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.

    Really annoying when companies do that, unfortunately here they’re allowed to as legal tender is basically meaningless.

    Also just reminded me I have a few 1000kr notes I really need to pay into a bank next time im over there.
