There are no good micropayments, much of it is going to be eaten by fees, and paypal friends and family might work but they always are shady with banning accounts.

You can have cash gift cards codes for reaching a tier so you can send payments of $5 or $10 off the top of my head, but seeing a bunch of .03 cent transactions would just annoy me.

Jeeesus, they are. For no communicated reason. With no recourse, even when you talk with several people there.

To be fair amazon did that to someone on HN, and it happens to many accounts, but PayPal... man they’re on another level. I got locked for no reason.

PayPal is ghetto.

I had some issues registering with AWS, and they called me and we sorted things out. It took more than a week to fully register, as opposed to Google's GCP where I didn't even need to think about it.

What does a ghetto have anything to do with this? I'm not sure I follow the comparison, could you please explain it?

For context, average payment in the low hundreds.
