Not that it is any suprise, but I do wish that people would take the ongoing history of PayPal into consideration and not use them, ever, for anything. This is a company that has stolen more than US$ 30,000.00 from me personally, having locked an account more than two years ago for as-yet-unspecified "suspicious activity." Horror story after horror story can be found at http://www.paypalsucks.com and http://www.nopaypal.com
I just received this from an associate of mine who is learning the hard way about this company's tactics: "I wish to inform all *** members and friends that they should stay away from Paypal and eBay Inc. These two companies are aiding and abetting hackers to steal money from their customers account. ... Paypal has repeatedly withdrawn funds from my bank and credit cards to make unauthorised payments for products I did not order for. The amount is running into several thousands of dollars, the recent was yesterday, Friday. The sum of $1,750.00 was taken from my account and made payable to people that Paypal is not ready to pursue for further investigations. ... I’m pressing charges against Paypal and will be talking to a lawyer on Monday. Please spread the news to all Paypal customers and ebay lovers to beware. They may be the next victim. Regards, J***" If you want a fiat alternative to Paypal I recommend http://www.moneybookers.com . Why anyone does business with PP is completely beyond me.
