And use what instead? Swollen off PayPal is pretty easy because frankly it's an awful service and businesses are better off not using it anyway so they tend to offer other options.

But MasterCard and visa are the only payment options. Everything requires MasterCard or Visa

    There's Discover and American Express if you're in the US. I don't know the porn policies of those companies but they are the alternatives.

    Businesses are better of not using Paypal or Creditcards, both of the are a hassle and cost more time to process than a digital pin transaction or an old school bank transfer.

    You have to use what is available in your country, a lot of countries have their own payment platform and they are being consolidated into one Wero.

    As long as people keep using Mastercard or Visa they will have this power.

    Yeah people keep using them because there are no other options. That's the point that's why they're powerful because they have a monopoly.

    The thing is the only alternative is to use cash and steam won't take a bank transfer.
