Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
People buying items on eBay will be able to pay without leaving its website, and sellers will have lower processing costs, the online giant said in a blog post.
EBay has signed an agreement with Dutch firm Adyen to process payments, but buyers will still be able to use PayPal on the site until at least 2020.
PayPal was spun off from eBay in 2015.

Yes, I know ranting doesn't work. I'm hoping that voodoo will. PayPal deserves to die a most painful horrible death. They would not properly communicate a simple debit card purchase to my bank, and left me with a nasty rep with various vendors and probably will find myself accused of fraud for it. Their so-called "help desk" has not a clue as to how their automated systems function. A reset is not possible. Like that cat feces virus, it's with you for life.
On the other hand, some internet campaigns have been somewhat effective. But my case is too rare (nothing more than PayPal's failure to communicate and acknowledge their problem) to get a sufficient rise out of anybody. Nobody is going to care about the miserable 1 or 2 thousand people that get ground up in the system.
*sigh* I hope someday we can develop an anonymous payment/purchase system that no one can interfere with, but there is hardly any demand for it, so I will die waiting...

A million crypto nerds worldwide started frothing at the mouth soon after this sentence was posted. They didn't even read the post. They somehow sensed that it was made.

are producing garbage. Let 'em froth!
A long time ago there was an electronic card of sorts that could transfer real dollars (in bits) directly to each other. Everything stayed on the cards, no network, no exchanges, no names, nothing, just the money, real P2P (card to card). If we can get that over the internet, that would be a step in the right direction.
