I've been waiting for this so I can spend the funds I have in PayPal - can't draw them out without a US bank account.

Currently, there are no plans to add PayPal as a method of payment for Linode.com.

You can get the PayPal debit card(for free) and then use it like a visa to pay for your linode.

I have the same question, and i hope linode could support PayPal ASAP, because in china, there's no way to sign up for PayPal Debit Card.

Given that PayPal forbids many activities that Linode does not, I'd consider it highly unlikely that Linode would take the risk of being Dreamwidth'd. It's been 6 years since this thread was posted, but PayPal hasn't become any less hostile to merchants.

Good!

Paypal is the biggest scam ever.

It acts like a bank, it works like a bank, it thinks it can charge fees that would make a bank blush, but it has NO REGULATION WHAT SO EVER.

I avoid Paypal like the bad rash it is.

Regulation is morally indefensible...

Either they're committing acts that are illegal for anyone, in which case existing laws and enforcement mechanisms are sufficient; or they're not, in which case there's no reason to treat them separately because they're morally no different from anyone else.

Last I checked - the LEGAL system uses "laws" not "morals".

So when Paypal arbitrarily freezes your account - and the legal system can do NOTHING because they're not a bank - let me know how that moral argument works for you.

Martin Luther King Jr said that immoral laws are no laws at all and everyone has the moral responsibility to disobey them. So, he says that laws are morals.

And Mohammad Ali said he could "float like a butterfly".

Neither him or MLK Jr had a firm grip on reality - so whats your point?

This strongly relates to Linode and PayPal since you are tripping.

Why are we speaking German? A mime cries softly as he cradles a young electronic funds transfer. Your grandfather stares at you as the EFT falls apart into debits. You look down only to see me with MasterCard logos for eyes, I am singing the song that gives birth to the universe.
