PayPal is often convenient, but really risky to use even without taking into account political nonsense. They shut accounts down randomly and hold your money for 6 months and do other crazy things even without politics being an issue. They've closed down legit businesses for random reasons before (I suspect their many Indian employees sometimes shut down their side-businesses' competitors but have no proof of that). They seem like a very shady company in general. If you search for PayPal horror stories you'll see some really criminal-seeming actions. And sadly, alternatives are basically worse or non-existent.
