Overview:

The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.

Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.

America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.

America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Do I need a PayPal account to send money to someone via PayPal? (self.boycottus)

Hey all, in an interesting spot here.

My girlfriend is American, and while I want to reduce how much I use American services, currently deleting accounts I no longer need or have found alternatives for, her birthday is coming up, and I want to send her some funds so she can get herself a gift.

I'd send her something on my own, however because of personal reasons, we've agreed not to exchange addresses until she feels comfortable with doing so. Slow buildup of trust sorta deal.

I've sent her money through PayPal before when we got each other gifts for Christmas and Valentine's, but I've been thinking quite heavily about deleting my PayPal account. Do I need to keep my PayPal account to send her funds, or am I able to do so still without an account? Are there perhaps any ways I can send the money over without using PayPal or other American services?

Thanks for any help in advance.

EDIT: Alright y'all, go ahead and downvote me. I know why we're not exchanging addresses, and I'm not going to fucking reveal my girlfriend's private life to appeal to y'all, so how about instead of getting into my personal life and assuming crap, you either give me an answer, or learn some basic reading comprehension and realise from my post this isn't a one-way street.

Thanks! Wish I was able to utilise this, but unfortunately I'm not in Europe. Will see if I can reach out to my credit union however!
