Paypal is a company - not a bank - and if you have any problems with them; bad for you. Banks and credit card companies are safe (ehm at least as safe as you can get nowadays) and if there is any problem with a money transfer over credit card there is a good procedure to get your money back. I know ... I ordered for a few 1,000 Euro worth of computer equipment from a company and the parcel got lost in royal mail. Even after a number of phone conversations, postal investigation, a lot of waiting time and lack of response from the vendor I called my credit card company and they provided me with a form to fill out. Had my money back in no time - still waiting on a response from the vendor though. Vendor is a big computer company in the Netherlands and I found them to be very bad when money or warranty is involved. I once tried to get a paypal account in NL but I have to sign them an authorization form to charge my bank for all my financial transactions with them. Are they kidding ??? I will never give any firm an open offer to withdraw money from my account - especially not if there only way of security is a username/password combo on an open website. If you want security pay using credit card - paypal is for those who can/will not accept the professionalism of dealing with real banks (sorry but that's how I think of them) I found Mesa Electronics a professional company, dealing with customers in a professional way and handling my credit card information as I would accept. All they want is a proper written statement with number, security code and your signature. Mesa replied promptly and professional; I sent them a fax followed by an email that I faxed them - had a reply within a few minutes that my order was ok. I also ordered 'more than one... cough cough...' and would do so again if I am building another three machines. BTW: Delivery was as good as their way of accepting my order. Delivery via FedEx international parcel arrived within 48 hours after placing my order - I was not even ready yet to upgrade my computer at that time :-) Another plus on Mesa: they upgraded my 7i43 200k gates to a 400k gates for free - just because they did not have a 200k ROHS version on stock - on my first order. I did not ask them to, neither was I in a hurry Rob ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
