I would hope so. I really think PayPal sucks. The fees they take are really high, and the currency exchange rates are really bad. I’d love to see a more direct approach to DevEx in the future.
Yeah but the case is mostly the same. I don’t believe that anything has really changed since then, and people still want to have bank transfers I assume. I linked the thread to show that we are not the only ones to have requested alternatives to PayPal.
@omaraa maybe repurpose the original post and move it to Web Feature Requests?
PayPal is notorious for random indefinite freezes on accounts, essentially taking your money. As @Frederikam mentioned, their fees are ridiculous as well. I’d love a direct deposit sort of thing, kind of like how I got paid when I was a cashier over the summer. I assume it’d only be feasible for the US at first, but maybe later it could expand to other currencies/countries.
Sometimes Paypal locks it because of ‘suspicious’ large amounts of money being moved. eBay was smart enough to separate from the shit that is Paypal and I think that says a lot about it.
PayPal actually locked me out of my account once because somebody with a Chinese IP address tried to buy some prepaid credit cards using my funds. Thankfully PayPal locked this (I don’t know why they’d even allow a login from China in the first place) and I had to reset my account over the phone.
So the one time I got locked out it was a good thing.
Paypal will freeze your account if you have constant 20k+ a month coming in for “fraud”, you will then have to upload supporting legal documents proving your identity and your legitimate business.
I can confirm they are planning payment alternatives already.
I’ve been begging for direct deposit for years. Last I heard, they were looking into adding direct deposit, but I haven’t seen anything about it in months. Nothing would make me happier than to not have to deal with PayPal.
Assuming Direct deposit meaning a check in the mail. That’d be neat it’d be supported here, though I seriously don’t think roblox will send a check to Libya XD. either way it’ll be better I can work around the idea.
Paypal simply is impossible for me to work with by a check is easier.
Direct deposit means its deposited into your checking/savings bank account automatically and directly, it normally takes 2-3 days depending. A pay stub might be sent in the mail to let you know but there wouldn’t be a written “check” for a direct deposit.
