Well, I must admit that wrapping blantant spam for your web site in a PayPal cheerleaders blanket is a novel approach.

I AM SIMPLY TRYING TO SHOW PEOPLE THAT PAYPAL IS A GREAT COMPANY AND THERE SERVICES WORK GREAT. YOU MUST BE ONE OF THOSE HIGH DOLLAR AUCTIONEERS WHO WONT PAY A SIMPLE PROCESSING FEE FOR A WELL DONE JOB. YOUR TYPE REMINDS OF THE TIRE KICKERS FROM MY CAR SALES DAYS. NO ATTEMPT TO SELF PROMOTE ANYTHING. JUST MY GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO EXPRESS MY OPINION ABOUT A COMPANY WHICH HAS DONE A GREAT JOB/ JOE

I (and many others) do not read all caps messages. They are considered "yelling." BTW, I don't bid on all-caps auctions either!

sorry for the caps. but it really irks me to see all the abuse being given paypal. bunch of leeches will leave paypal now that its not free. I will see those people in the welfare line when they lose a steady portion of their business as people are used to paypal and have over 3,000,000 users who use paypal as a daily form of currency. wake up and smell the coffee people.

This is a serious question. I have seen the phrase more than once and have always wondered whether biblical justification exists for the assertion.

Let's get out the old crystal ball and gaze into the future......
Six months from now we have a new slew of outraged posters complaining about all of these new auction payment services that were once free and now charge. Let's face reality, there is NO business model that can support providing free services when those services cost money to provide. Everyone of these services will eventually charge you fees. They are just waiting to have enough registered users to insure their survival after the "I won't pay for that" crowd bails out.
Personally I think that those that think they can pass on PayPal's fees will lose sales as a result. They will more than likely be viewed by the average bidder in the same category as those that impose excessive shipping/handling fees.
When PayPal ceases to be the dominant payment service of choice I will drop them. Until my customer base insists on these alternate services I see no point in using them. The seller is the tail of the dog. Trying to wag your customers into using a payment service because it is free to you will probably be a losing cause.
