I came home this evening to check out what the recent PayPal postings. I was shocked to see what's been going on. They are just blame ripping people off! It would really seem that PayPal has gone down the tubes quick! I thought it was bad enough when they have employees like Damon, who doesn't know the first thing about how to treat customers, but judging from the latest problems these problems go real deep.

Let's hope their stock becomes a penny stock before six months from the ipo date. That should mean that people like Damon will lose money, since they are restricted to sell until then. Let's see how happy he is when the tables are turned!

I'm almost inclined to stop using Paypal..almost being the key word. Maybe I'll start adding to my listings That due the amount of fraud associated with Paypal, as of XX/XX I will no longer accept payments through them. I guess I'll go read about Paydirect and check out Billpoint again.
MEOW

After reading many of these recent stories of people getting there accounts hacked, I wonder if PayPal hasn't gotten the entreprenuerial bug and started selling the account info of their customers? Similar to the selling of email lists to spammers, but way more profitable....

Why bother trying to hack into places like Amazon? All you get are a bunch of worthless Credit Card numbers! (Hard to use, easy to track.)
Now PayPal! It's like busting open a piggybank with a sledgehammer. Liquid cash. And the beauty of it is, once you take over a user's account, it looks like they're the ones at fault!
All you need's a password, baby!
No system is unbreakable. The fact that PayPal insists that they are just means they're either lying, or totally ignorant what goes on in the background.
