11. I assume you used Apple Pay to pay on the PayPal page?

I wasn't aware that you could do that, but if so, that's cool.

I must admit I don't really understand people's dislike of DU using PayPal to process payments. Elon Musk left PayPal in 2000, before DU was even conceived of, and Peter Thiel left in October 2002 when PayPal was sold to eBay. At that time DU was less than two years old and wasn't even taking payments yet.

In other words, Musk and Thiel were both gone from PayPal before DU started using it. For the entire time we've been using it to process card payments, it's been owned by eBay.
