We're Shutting it Down...
Don't worry, that's just a clickbait-y title for dramatic effect (in true YouTuber fashion), BUT we do have some important and quite serious news to share with you.
There have been some recent and quite damning allegations surrounding the Honey browser extension owned by PayPal. Reports from YouTubers have raised serious concerns about Honey's business practices and the potential for deception of consumers.
In light of these reports, and the subsequent class-action lawsuit filed against PayPal, we have made the decision to no longer accept PayPal as a payment method on our site, effective immediately.
We have been using Stripe as a more reliable alternative on our site for many years now, and had previously kept PayPal open as an additional option for the few remaining customers who still preferred that method. However, given the troubling revelations about Honey and PayPal's alleged misconduct, we can no longer in good conscience continue offering PayPal as a payment choice.
Moving forward, all payments via our website will be securely processed by Stripe. We pride ourselves on maintaining a high standard of integrity in all of our operations, and the alleged deception by PayPal goes against the trust that we strive to uphold within our community.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.
@Anne We understand your perspective but our decision to no longer accept PayPal is not a ‘nice try’, it’s a genuine choice deeply rooted in moral principle based on the concerning reports about their business practices.
Our commitment to transparency and integrity is non-negotiable, even if it means no longer offering a payment method that some customers may prefer. We cannot in good faith continue partnering with a company accused of deceiving consumers.
We’re confident that Stripe provides a secure and reliable alternative that aligns with our values. At the end of the day, we have to do what we believe is right for our business and community. We hope you can understand and respect that, even if it means you choose not to purchase from us going forward.
Oh you had me worried for a second. I have your products and I love it! Although I don’t use it often, I do appreciate it whenever I send something to a special one to use these seals for the extra touch. Please don’t ever shut down! Happy new year!
PayPal holds sellers accountable for their promises in a way Stipe doesn’t though so nice try… I only pay with PayPal and if the seller doesn’t offer it I do not buy from them end of story.
