People still use Paypal? Abandoned my account 2 years ago, never looked back.

Yeah, PayPal has lost lots of users to new services like Venmo. Fortunately for PayPal, they own Venmo.

They banned me 10+ years ago for violating the ToS (which apparently included being over 18 years old). I probably would have forgiven this (I did break the rules, after all) except for the fact that they elected to keep my money for 6 months and collect interest in the meantime.

However, that is what eventually got me into Bitcoin, so maybe I actually owe them some thanks for sucking so badly.

What do I do if I want to purchase something off of eBay?

Buy it, but be aware that guiriduro is going to look down on you for not being hip.

eBay allows payment without PayPal now. Like any other site that doesn't use PayPal.
