2400+ in PayPal this month and they wont give me the merchant account rate, I called twice and I figure that's enough, tomorrow night before I go to bed the email address we have registered with PayPal will be changed the logos pulled, I'll keep the account open incase they ever come around.
I just signed up with C2it and I can't find one of their old logos anywhere and I don't care for the new ones. Anybody have one of the old style?
Do people from aol seem to use it more because of the AOL Quick Cash??
Guess I'll have to look into BillPoint as well.
You think that PayPal would be smarter than they are, as it is now I will be offering at least 2 more payment methods and a paydirect will go back on the auctions as well. I would rather just use just one payment service PayPal was it, if they ever come to their senses maybe they will find themselves replaced with someone else preeminently, and I'm sure it wont just be me.

Good for You! PayPal has forgotten that their volume and ultimate success depends on everyone's participation.
I read recently that they did about 150,000 transactions daily to the tune of about $7,000,000. If that's so, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why they could care less about most of us when we look like chump change to their bean counter.
If my crummy math is correct, PayPal should be taking in about 80+ million in fees but they still aren't profitable. What's wrong with that picture?

Still looking for the old style C2it button does anyone have one?
I've been told 3 times by PayPal that they are "escalating" this, 5 days and still no word from them, I've turned away several hundred in PayPal transactions with emails to the customers recommending other payment services.
I know I'm just a small drop in the bucket but when I've talked on the phone with these people all they keep saying is we want your business and I will turn this in. It makes you think that there is only one person over there that can make any discussions and at this point they have a backlog of at least 5 days.
