> And the form is not unlike Paddle's verification. You need a company, EIN, samples of what your texts will look like. Massive pain.

In defense of Paddle (I use them for my own livelihood), they're on the hook for remitting sales taxes to ALL the governments where your customers might reside. They also manage customer disputes, chargebacks, refunds etc. I always redirect support emails to Paddle.net [0] which does the trick 99% of the time.

Stripe or PayPal are nothing like that. They're just payment platforms.

Since Paddle takes on so much liability, it seems reasonable to ask for a lot of initial paperwork from its sellers.
