SoylentNews is people

from the define-"best" dept.

I have been using PayPal off and on since 2012 for 2 main reasons.

1 - Convenience, I didn't have to enter a credit card every time I purchased from a site other than usual trusted sites where I store my payment information, like Amazon, and sending payments to friends/family was simple.
2 - Peace of mind.

I recently found that the assumption of (2) was wrong, so I fired PayPal. I don't want to get into the details. Beyond being therapeutic, it won't really make life better moving forward.

That brings me to the question, since I have fired PayPal, I am sure that someone will want to send me, or more likely, have me send them money. Before I go out and research the providers on my own, I thought I would come here. What do Soylentils suggest for peer to peer payments?

    I don't know of practically any corporation that has a site with security credentials, and is not running javascript. Soylent is one of the very few exceptions. You're hunting for unicorns, and the likelihood of finding a web interface well constructed without javascript will be a journey to impress a Hobbit.

    A distinction must be made between sites that run JavaScript and sites that require JavaScript. If we make this distinction and include in our tally those sites which maintain most of their functionality with JavaScript disabled, your statement becomes retroactively hyperbolic -- though not as hyperbolic as I'd like it to be. Amazon is an excellent example of progressive enhancement, and there are plenty of others. I don't know about banking sites, but I don't use banking sites.
