A previous post stated that some bank (was it Netbank??) didn't meet up the standards Paypal hoped to expect. If so, how does Paypal decide on how they accredit banks wanting to join the Paypal bandwagon? I'm a bit curious.

They use a dart board. 
...some bank (was it Netbank??) didn't meet up the standards Paypal hoped to expect.
Concerns about standards seems kind of ironic, in light of PayPal's "unsatisfactory" rating with the BBB.

LOL!!! That was a good one mrpotatoheadd.
Anyways, why does it seem that Paypal only selects only the best banks worldwide to become part of their serivce???

Hi,
Verification is part of our identification process and some banks do not meet the criteria we have in place for doing so.
If a user gets a message advising a bank can't be used (for verification) they will have to try a different bank.

Okay, I understand. But how do countries become certified by Paypal and what kind of requirements do they need to match Paypal's standards?

It gets better! NetBank's rating with the BBB is perfect.
"The company has been responsive to any complaints brought to its attention by the Bureau. Any customer complaints brought to the company's attention have been properly addressed."

Clearly, that is the problem. PayPal will not do business with a company that treats its customers this way.

If you get the Wall St. Journal there's an article today about Netbank you might find of interest. To say that they've had smooth sailing would be a serious exaggeration.

The customer is always right, they say. But why do a lot of people say that Paypal seems not to care about this guideline. I only wanted to have Paypal in my country (which is unfortunately not listed) so that it can be easier for me to send payments. It may be unfair for me to see an item on eBay (a hard to find item that I really crave to acquire) only to find out that the seller can only accept Paypal as the form of payment. Can you guys please help me out?

Any company who was dumb enough to truly believe that the customer is always right would quickly learn a whole lot about fraud.
Here's one thing they would learn.
In some countries in the world, it is not treated as a crime to defraud someone on the internet. People don't go to jail for such actions.
It's not surprising that, in such countries, two things quickly happen:
1. Lots of criminals appear, dominating commercial offers from that country.
2. No one except the utterly ignorant will do business with anyone in such a country.
I'm sorry to hear that an AuctionWatch poster lives in such a country. I can only wish for a quick change in your country's attitude toward internet crime.
It might seem cool to have money flowing into one's country, fraud or not, but it's truly killing a golden opportunity.

In your haste to post such vitriol and outrageous generalizations, you did not even notice the poster hadn't even mentioned his country.
Since PayPal is only available in 38 countries, you have condemned 153 of the world's other nations.

Loggia, consider the intersection of countries which include AuctionWatch posters and countries not listed by PayPal.
That's the list under discussion.

It's sad to hear that there are people who wanted to try Paypal's services but can't because they live in a place where internet crime is commonplace and their government cannot do anything about it.
I just hope that my country (the Philippines) can somehow enforce its Internet laws to further decrease corruption.
To SaraAW or any AW moderator:
Please lock this thread up. I feel that I got enough answers to some of my questions. Sorry for the trouble you guys have answering these.
