Aussie here. One reason I use PayPal is for subscriptions (streaming services etc) to avoid the headache of updating credit card details in multiple places when I change bank, credit card renews, etc. just change it in PayPal once and every subscription keeps working.

“So then when it fails for the third time, he drinks a cup of acid, tips his hat to the crowd, and then collapses.”
