Oddbean new post about login | logout Sadly some shops only accept PayPal. I closed my account years ago and have no plan to open another one. There is a Guest Payment feature but they do everything to hide it. This time I had to switch the language from Dutch to English to see the "pay with creditcard" option. PayPal is to fiat what plastic is to glass. It's bad enough not to accept Bitcoin, but ffs at the very least don't force customers to use PayPal.
I had a similar experience with Rexite, a small design company from Italy. They make this cool 900 Multiplor desk organizer that's been around since the 60s, but their website looks like it's from the same time too. I didn't want to use PayPal, so I emailed them and they told me to do a bank transfer instead. Cumbersome but I absolutely refuse to ever use PayPal again. https://image.nostr.build/1d16b1e78f15ceef9c64966a936976d614d0f56dc0322095b9ad1df6c82efa27.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=864x1920&alt=Rexite+900+Multiplor+desk+organizer.+&blurhash=%5BKIXy%5B%3Fw%25MRkH%3BRiofof-pMxIoofVsWWRjRjIoof%25Mt7tRs.WBofRPazRjRjj%40ayt7ogt7oLWVof&x=cd8b669078dce8cf863a69a3202c2f8a9064b1be320cf51fd4c469bf54aaead8 https://image.nostr.build/3499cffe62a9428914cfaa4d759138afedfcde7684549168b2bf70501706259e.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&dim=864x1920&alt=Rexite+900+Multiplor+desk+organizer+opened.+&blurhash=%5BFIXv%24u5M_IUMbxu%25Mxt%7EVRPV%40s%3An3E1D*NG9Gxtx%5DtRo%23xaxuofoJR%2BV%40V%40WrWCaKV%40bcs.aej%5B&x=e5d118c57393d759a67fe8c464ecb365f8871646063fe82654fdbc4c2f3f80e4
Where do such shops exist?!
Etsy, depending on merchant settings. Apparently the platform also removed the ability to manually settle a payment, so you can't use Bitcoin even if the merchant wants to.
