Avoid Paypal for Cryptocurrency - Negative experience NSFW

Paypal basically pulled out every single stop to prevent me sending out bitcoin to a personal wallet. Don't bother using it for purchases.

They just want your cash, it might as well be a fake number they're showing you.

Best to avoid paypal in general if possible. I wasn't aware they did crypto.

Why would they limit the number of ways they can scam their customers?

Avoid PayPal for anything. They can and will just steal your money.

Fair, but Paypal is a sketchy place to ever put any form of currency. It was founded of a mix of companies that included elongated muskrat and peter thiel as founders, even if they aren't involved now.

They have a habit of freezing and seizing funds.

MoonPay + Electrum has worked well in the past for me.
