Amazon and PayPal being out of the running of course. FWIW, I think Mullvad uses Stripe . . . 🤔

    I’m behind the times. Amazon is obvious, but why is PayPal bad?

      the fees are horrendous and they are able to close your account at anytime and lock you out of money.

        This. If you really have to do business with PayPal, do not ever keep a balance with them. If they close your account, they will keep that money.

      Check trustpilot, Paypal is universally known to be a dis-functional piece of junk. People perma banned for no reason, scammers still using it without issue, transactions are a hit or miss, you need one account by country (if you happen to go overseas and have a bank account there). I used it like 4 times: paid for goods twice, received a salary, sent my wife some money during covid then we got both perma-banned with 0 reasons given.
