| I've been waiting for this so I can spend the funds I have in PayPal - can't draw them out without a US bank account. |

Currently, there are no plans to add PayPal as a method of payment for Linode.com.

You can get the PayPal debit card(for free) and then use it like a visa to pay for your linode.

| I have the same question, and i hope linode could support PayPal ASAP, because in china, there's no way to sign up for PayPal Debit Card. |

| Given that PayPal forbids many activities that Linode does not, I'd consider it highly unlikely that Linode would take the risk of being Dreamwidth'd. It's been 6 years since this thread was posted, but PayPal hasn't become any less hostile to merchants. |

Good!
Paypal is the biggest scam ever.
It acts like a bank, it works like a bank, it thinks it can charge fees that would make a bank blush, but it has NO REGULATION WHAT SO EVER.
I avoid Paypal like the bad rash it is. |

Regulation is morally indefensible...
Either they're committing acts that are illegal for anyone, in which case existing laws and enforcement mechanisms are sufficient; or they're not, in which case there's no reason to treat them separately because they're morally no different from anyone else. |

Last I checked - the LEGAL system uses "laws" not "morals".
So when Paypal arbitrarily freezes your account - and the legal system can do NOTHING because they're not a bank - let me know how that moral argument works for you. |

| Martin Luther King Jr said that immoral laws are no laws at all and everyone has the moral responsibility to disobey them. So, he says that laws are morals. |

And Mohammad Ali said he could "float like a butterfly".
Neither him or MLK Jr had a firm grip on reality - so whats your point? |

This strongly relates to Linode and PayPal since you are tripping.

| Why are we speaking German? A mime cries softly as he cradles a young electronic funds transfer. Your grandfather stares at you as the EFT falls apart into debits. You look down only to see me with MasterCard logos for eyes, I am singing the song that gives birth to the universe. |
