What a surprise.

Funny. I don't have a creditcard and I don't want one. That is the only reason I sometimes, maybe once or twice a year I use PayPal.

I wish them good luck building a profile on 2 purchases. Also, I'm in the EU and I suspect this will not be legal here.

I also cannot believe somebody thought it would be a great idea to introduce even more tracking and ads. Don't they understand they are driving away customers?

Every time I try to buy with PayPal I have to use a new account cause they ban me (VPN, simple login, VoIP phone, etc will all do it).
