In my country any amount above €200000 gets an negative interest of 0.5% annually.
If someone would put it on a paypal account they would be better off.

But then again, our government in their infinite wisdom put taxes on capital.
You are not supposed to have money, spend it please.
If you have money, it is much harder to keep you in your shitty job, as a slave.

I closed my paypal account several months ago (that I had had for donkey's years) when they demanded access to my bank account despite me only using them for payments, since then I have discovered just about everybody I deal with is also able to accept credit card transactions with no premium (both UK & international).

EDIT actually I wonder if the crafty (evil) buggers were after my bank account months ago so they could charge me these fees they just announced  >:D

Anyone who does not have a minimum 6 months emergency budget, in a well paid job like engineering, is being foolish.
Nowadays, at least in the UK, there is no safety net.  If you get ill and can't work, even if you have worked all your life and paid taxes, the bank will take your house or the landlord will evict you.
It is a tragic state of affairs. What can you do?

After seeing they are starting this sort of thing I have now closed mine.  I will now find out who absolutely must have payment via PayPal. I suspect it might only be Ebay.

Actually Ebay is one of the ones I have had no problems using credit cards on BUT..... It only works if you DO NOT LOG ON and DELETE ALL EBAY COOKIES!!

Crazy I know but if you have ever used PP before on EB it remembers and only offers you that.
I now buy everything there as a guest and am wondering about deleting me EB account as well as I see no point for it, I gave up selling via EB years ago lols
