Steam, 2025
PayPal does not allow purchasing of Steam Games for all currencies except USD, CAD, EUR, GBP, JPY and AUD.[1]
Inactivity fee, 2022
PayPal charges an inactivity fee in Canada and the EU.[2]
If you don't log in or don't have transactions for a year you will be charged $20USD each year. Then, when there are no more funds in the account, they will close your account. If you have not logged in they assume you have seen the changed terms and agree to the changes and thus the fees.
Transaction fee refunds, 2019
PayPal will no longer refund transaction fees on refunds[3] PayPal announced they would undo this policy change, and then a few months later re-implemented it.
Privacy
In 2018, the introduction of the GDPR in Europe forced PayPal to disclose a list of third party companies they share user data with. The list includes over 600 different companies, from fraud prevention to analytics, tracking and advertising companies.[4]
