What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away

I made my first purchase on Audiogon today and was and still am confused and bothered by the transaction. I wrongly assumed I could use PayPal for the purchase, but there wasn’t any option to do that. I saw that I had to pay by credit card, I had no problem with that. I provided my credit card information on the AG web site and the sale went through. Now I find out that some company by the name of Stripe has my credit card and personal information. I was not made aware of that. Also, AG is claiming I paid the seller directly. I did not. The only company that received my info was Audiogon. AG is getting a financial incentive to drive this business to Stripe in my opinion. 

eBay still accepts PayPal. If you’re required to use your ID #, it’s under your account. AG support says that Stripe processed the payment, not them. I sent AG a screenshot of the payment made to them. They still state that I paid the seller. I don’t care about the size of stripe or anything else. If a third party is going to handle payment, I want to be taken to their site just as I am when I use PayPal. I didn’t sign up to use stripe and was never given the opportunity to use another payment method. Why not?

in these days of heightened awareness of online privacy and security, I want to know who gets my info. And whether or not I want them to have it. 

Agon is not being upfront with its users...

Would you like your credit card information passed around without your knowledge? Perhaps you’d really like AG to tell you that you paid the seller directly when you know you didn’t.  Lastly, I know you’d love AG to say they’re working on letting their customers know how payments are going to be handled. It’s just that they’re not quite ready to do that yet. 
For those sellers reading this, are you able to specify PayPal as a source of payment? Or does AG push for credit card transactions through Stripe?
