Sad and funny at the same time. I feel your pain.

Thanks.

Well, it was a bug, a bug I couldn't simply control.

I take it as a positive outcome, at least I no longer need to deal with PayPal at all.

Is there a good email-to-email payment alternative to paypal?

Seems like there should be a million of them.

And an API that consists in its simplest form of:

https://pay.it?from=foo%40bar.com&to=doh%40ray.com&amount=D1...

Such thing would be very good, but again it's another extra account for payment that buyers should have.

I find using debit/card payments much easier (I use virtual cards with very limited fund in them for online payments) and things like Google/Apple/Samsung Pay make things much easier to deal with.

Do you know your friends debit card number?

Email/phone is a much easier ID.
