seems like basically every artist makes a point of exclusively using paypal

what a shame since paypal is evil incarnate and i want it to die a gruesome and lonely death

dwolla and square cash are neat, and the latter is basically zero setup, but alas they…

Yeah, it’s always a bit envy-inducing whenever a European asks, “Wait, why the hell do you need PayPal? Why can’t you just wire transfer it to me?”

I did pay for a service with a wire transfer once (in the US!) because the person insisted on it, and it was a quagmire all around. Took forever to go through, the recipient had no notification of it taking place, and I got to pay an extra $10 fee on top of it too. I would have much rather just written a check, and that’s just dumb.

This. Blame whatever it is that makes transferring money across the Atlantic a bureaucratic nightmare. What am I supposed to do, give up most  of my income as a form of protest? Wish I could, believe me.

accept other things and encourage customers in the US to use them, so the demand for PayPal decreases and the demand for other things increases, and your customer base widens to include people who don’t want to have PayPal accounts?
