My paypal account cannot receive money - send only because of my location. Consequently, I've been shut out of many legitimate opportunities. Got scammed multiple times as a freelancer both by the job providers and the platform.
Can't wait for this to available in my location. "Threat to users" be dammed.
Receiving money as a freelancer can be challenging, but given how dangerous it is to give FB more power, I think it's worth spending a bit of time in finding alternatives.
Last customer was in India, and it was hard for him to wire me money. Stripe made it a breeze, I created an invoice, enter his mail, and he just paid using his credit card.
The fees are a bit high, so the question is more "how much inconvenience do I think is worth this moral stand?".
And there is no universal answer to this question, since moral is arbitrary, and I don't accept the inconvenience in many other avenues.
