>they always are shady with banning accounts.

Jeeesus, they are. For no communicated reason. With no recourse, even when you talk with several people there.

To be fair amazon did that to someone on HN, and it happens to many accounts, but PayPal... man they’re on another level. I got locked for no reason.

PayPal is ghetto.

I had some issues registering with AWS, and they called me and we sorted things out. It took more than a week to fully register, as opposed to Google's GCP where I didn't even need to think about it.

What does a ghetto have anything to do with this? I'm not sure I follow the comparison, could you please explain it?

For context, average payment in the low hundreds.

What does that have to do with ghettos?

Not him, but I’d say the user experience is awful compared to others and your money isn’t safe. They hide lots of useful things, they can steal your money any time, and it feels extremely mentally taxing to deal with issues like them randomly breaking things or locking your account. It’s comparing a modern iPhone to the first edition of android, so much work, so slow, so unnecessarily complex to do simple things like unlock your account when they lock it randomly.
