OSS maintainers are losing GitHub sponsors due to loss of PayPal support

I thought PayPal's selling point is keeping one safe from shady sellers...? Personally I don't think Microsoft is gonna leak my CC details. Neither will an OSS developer run away after my donation (or if they do, it's not a huge deal).

So why don't these "sponsors" just use their Credit Card?

Credit Cards aren't really popular outside North America.

I'm honestly curious about how and where you got this impression.

Live in UK. Went to the shop and paid with three seashells and a turnip.
