I would find this useful. I've noticed Pair Networks have started accepting Paypal payments now.

So prepay a year using a prepaid card, or use a linode reseller who supports paypal.

I'd rather just pay directly with PayPal thanks.

And I'd rather have a pony. Caker has maintained his "no paypal" policy for the better part of a decade now (this *thread* is the better part of a decade old, thanks for bumping it). He does not appear likely to change his mind.

I don't know what caker is. Just saying my opinion.

Caker is an extraterrestrial being who also happens to be the founder of Linode.

The atmosphere here is pretty hostile, I'll leave now.

Another +1 for paypal payment.

I host community-driven sites that take donations to survive. I take a hit when I get donations by paypal, and I take a hit when I send it to my bank account. Rather take out the 2nd hit.

Here's a -1 for the Paypal: a company that hates freedom.

-1 more. Paypal can...ya know...shove it...

I have had no issues with paypal (yet), but I would not want it coming to Linode.

-1.

Or perhaps a company that loves the freedom to run their company in a bunch of financial regulatory loopholes?
