    Or just use bank transfer. It's the same as paying in cash. Do Americans still have to use third parties to send money?

    Most of our banks have Zelle, which lets us send money from one bank account directly to another. You can to use the associated email address, phone number, or name. I think it shows you the name on the account? I'm honestly not positive as I so rarely use it. But even then you could create a business account. But not many people use it. Most people prefer Paypal, CashApp, or Venmo.

      Most small and medium businesses don't have crypto. They use corporate P cards. So a business would call me if they launched something and the site tanked in sales. 2500 on their corporate card and their problem is fixed.

      There is still a stigma for crypto.

      Yea it’s mainly for people to people transaction, not really suit for company payments. It’s a lot harder to fill taxes and stuff with it

        I can only speak for Europe, but your bank won't do shit, even if you claim that you accidentally sent the money to the wrong person, all they do is connect you to the account owner so you can ask them to return the money and if they don't you have to go through court.

        you can do chargebacks in the UK if you can convince your bank manager you were stiffed

        Also credit cards are easier to do this with, it's part of the service

          It’s better, lot less reversals, but you don’t get the anonymity benefit from it and transfers outside your own country get really expensive

            Sounds like PayID in Australia. I find it pretty good and it's starting to get more popular. And yeah with ours you can just set up a new email and link it to an account, then it'll let you choose if you want it to show John Smith or just J Smith when someone sends you money. You can also use a phone number or an ABN (Australian business number).

            PayPal is still more popular overall, but I prefer payid for the instant access to the money so I'm glad it's gaining momentum. Nothing but PayPal ever took off over here.

              I'm not amazed that people like that -- I also do sometimes -- but I am amazed that people pay for that

              Furry-ness is correlated to hyper specific niche interests is correlated to high paying tech jobs.

              Businesses that help people get off are rarely short of customers.

                          Wow wow. The saying is “you’ll never work a day in your life,” not that you’ll be financially stable.

                                  Especially since PayPal has a history of locking people's accounts.

                                  Back in the day, people used PayPal for e-commerce and if they didn't like you, say you sold "Fuck PayPal stickers", they would absolutely freeze your account with all the money in it.

                                        Back when I was doing art for money (not adult or furry stuff, sorry) I had years of racing to the computer or in some cases, the ATM, to transfer new payments out of Paypal.

                                        Because they make decisions on behalf of linked providers, like ebay. If you have ebay fees due, you don't get flexibility when you can pay it, Paypal just grabs it the next time it sees money come in. They do this with all kinds of fees and payments, if you have a delicate life like say... being a struggling artist, you are gonna get reamed by paypal and associated predatory companies. Not that there's a lot of choice.
