Again I'm calling with #PayPal and the suckers keep saying this is totally normal :flan_laugh:
Getting locked out your account is part of te process now
Another guy just told me it was my fault because I was using the PayPal iOS app and that should only be done for "checking real quick" not daily use :nkoFacepalm2:
@stux I stopped using PayPal a while back anywhere I could avoid it, because I wanted to change bank accounts it was connected to, and it adamantly refuses to let me do so.
Every time I try, it basically says that I already have an account listed for that bank, and what OTHER bank did I want to have an account listed with. Which isn't what I need to do.
There may be an option I'm not seeing to do this, but free or paid call, I still don't want to sit on the phone with them to figure it out.
@stux It's also one of "those" companies who are like: "C'mon, this TOTP 2FA thing is just for shits and giggles, what we really wanna do is send you SMS whenever we feel like it. We simply can't miss out on making innovative business models like SIM swapping a success"
@stux hehehe, yep, and the sad thing is, I agree with the person who said not to use the app. It fucks your account, and you can't transfer from some accounts. It's a mess
@stux I was happy to be in a position to close my account with them some time ago, though I know that's not an option for everyone. Once or twice a year someone's online payment system forces me into PP to make a CC payment, which forces me to create an account which I then delete immediately as soon as the payment is completed. Very annoying but about what I expect from losers like Thiel and Musk.
Me: "OK, I'm using Chrome to download Firefox again, but Firefox still gives me issues"
PayPal dude: "I TOLD YOU TO USE CHROME, STUPID AS***LE"
Me: "OK, I listened to you, and I'm using Chrome, but I have this useragent script to make pages believe I'm using Firefox, and I'm still having issues. I don't understand anything"
@koyu@stux Didn't forget Peter Thiel (the arch conservative who was infamous for allegedly injecting the blood of millennials to keep himself "youthful"... allegedly).
