I'm afraid we are going to have to get used to this level of interference in our lives.  Look at what happened to those who donated money to the Canadian truckers.  All sorts of bad stuff.   
If the people don't start fighting back every single transaction we make will be subject to 'approval' by a non-elected 3rd party.  
I think PayPal and other payment platforms are in for a nasty shock in years to come.  They have no right in interfering with perfectly legitimate transactions.  
I note they only do it when they want to.  

I’m a long time seller on eBay, almost 20 years. First few years buying and selling vinyl and the last 12 years or so, the same thing with coins.
Never been on the end of an attempted sting until very recently, but it’s happened twice in the last month.
First occasion, a £5,000 coin took the interest of a buyer in Japan. However, as the Global Shipping Program no longer ships to Japan, and I am unwilling to take the risk of shipping overseas independently, the sale could not proceed.
The interested party then informed me that they have an address in the UK and would I ship there. I agreed, as long as the address was first registered as an official eBay shipping address on his account. Once this had happened we processed with the sale.
Only at this stage did I realise that the address wasn’t on the UK mainland, but on Guernsey (my bad). This worried me a great deal, as it involved a customs declaration which I had wanted to avoid, but the item duly arrived after several days delay with the taxman.
Fast forward a week and the fun begins. I received a message from the buyer stating that although the item had arrived, the courier he had intended to use for the next leg to Japan, was no longer willing to carry the shipment, and they wanted to return the coin and have me send it to an alternative address.
This would have invalidated my eBay seller protection, so I ignored the message and waited for a refund request which never came.
My conclusion is that the buyer was simply chancing his arm in the hope that I was naïve enough to do as he asked. Eight weeks later, the buyer is still sending me messages with the same request, which I continue to ignore and will report when I find the time.
Second occasion, today, a buyer opened a refund request (£400) claiming the item had not arrived.
Alarm bells immediately rang for me, as this coin was shipped 13 days ago, one day before the 14 day returns period ends. Nobody waits 13 days to report a £400 coin that hasn’t arrived, when they know it’s been shipped Special Delivery.
The pertinent point here is that I had not completed the tracking details on eBay.
The buyer has waited as long as possible before opening the case, in the hope that I no longer have the tracking details and therefore, have no way to prove that the item was delivered.
Five minutes after uploading the tracking details complete with signature, the buyer sent me a message to say he’d made a mistake and had intended to open a case on a different item. Another chancer.
You have to understand the rules before selling anything of value on eBay. Be careful and always keep your tracking details.
 

Whether you choose to believe that the silver market is 'manipulated' versus 'regulated' is your choice. But even in regulation, you have the notion that the market is not actually free to discover true price. For if something were to be unregulated, the price may become volatile and susceptible to the market's supply and demand mechanism. So whether your stance on the silver market is that it is unfairly 'manipulated' versus justly 'regulated' is irrelevant. The truth is, it's not under your personal control, it shouldn't be under your personal control, and it shouldn't be under anyone's personal control. The only controlling force should be the free markets and if we truly had free markets, silver would not be lagging the way it has been for decades.
I urge all who read this, spread it like wildfire. The free markets are the people, the consumers, the end users of the physical! Not paper pushers!
Some have said that the silver market has been leveraged to the sum of 250 paper ounces of silver to 1 physical ounce of silver. Is this true? Do we have proof of this? Who can supply the truth behind this? We can! We don't need to research what large companies have paper interests to discover whether or not the silver market is rigged. We can find out much easier than digging through article after article to see who's got their hands in the silver market through paper contracts. We can do like the Hunt brothers did in the 1970s up to 1980, we can buy silver and we can buy a $h!t ton of it! The Hunt brothers worked to accumulate around 100 million Troy ounces of silver and this caused the price to rise from $11 (USD) per ounce in September 1979 to $50 (USD) per ounce by January 1980. Two men bought 100 million Troy ounces.
I'm not seeking two men willing to buy 100 million ounces. I'm seeking anyone willing to buy a single ounce, 5 ounces, 10 ounces or more. Whatever you can afford to buy responsibly, buy it. Give a gift this Christmas to someone in your family who has never felt the weight of a 1 ounce silver coin. Buy an ounce of silver for yourself to add to your stack. Discuss silver with an interested party who has never made the leap into the physical bullion market. You learn a lot about people by listening and having simple conversation. Is this feat possible? Can we as a community buy 100 million Troy ounces of silver this holiday season? Sure we can.
1 person buys 100 million Troy ounces = $2,480,000,000 (USD)
10 people buy 10 million Troy ounces = $248,000,000 (USD) each
100 people buy 1 million Troy ounces = $24,800,000 (USD) each
1,000 people buy 100 thousand Troy ounces = $2,480,000 (USD) each
10,000 people buy 10 thousand Troy ounces = $248,000 (USD) each
100,000 people buy 1 thousand Troy ounces = $24,800 (USD) each
1,000,000 people buy 1 hundred Troy ounces = $2,480 (USD) each
10,000,000 people buy 10 Troy ounces = $248 (USD) each
100,000,000 people buy 1 Troy ounce = $24.80 (USD) each
Think 100,000,000 people buying one single ounce of silver is not feasible? How about 10,000,000 people buying 10 Troy ounces? I know the perfect 16,378 people to get this fire going...
