 Have you ever purchased a cinema ticket with PayPal for a movie about the "REVOLUTION" happening in "IRAN"?

Well my friend did and the transaction took 3 days because PayPal decided to block the cinema's account in the mean time.

This is all normal now, right? Things have always been like this, right?

Wow. So... Catch the debate last night?

 I know people that got their account blocked by Paypal and they just literally gave up, because of how absurd they are

 Paypal once locked my and the receivers account for 2 weeks and we had to call Paypal together to unlock because the (200€) payment description was "Cuba" lol

 I will stay in the U.S. if major services begin to accept Bitcoin.

 I removed my PayPal account. Because why would I need any middleman?
