Re: [meteorite-list] Pay Pal update(Now SPANK the Monkey)
I would like to thank DAVID WALKER publicly for his display of total ignorance. Not only do you have a rock, NOT A METEORITE DAVID ,but you have exposed our whole list membership to SPAM and VIRUSES! Did you even give it some thought that anyone wanting all their email addresses all posted together might be UNHAPPY? DAVID SHOULD BE OFF THIS LIST! I get about 5 virus letters a day and about 10-20 spam. David do not send me any email; no photos either, thanks. To this list I have had it with unthinking persons like the above. Sorry to have vented my anger for you all to see. This person, Mr. David, should get a job at Paypal or Ebay! LOL If for some reason this is not the fault of David, I apologize. But I believe it is because Art Jones will not allow a photo attachment of this size to be on the list. ART?

Re: [meteorite-list] Pay Pal update
Matt, PayPal is and will be the cheapest way to accept credit cards now and in the future. We have for our business researched nearly every other method of accepting credit cards and PayPal beats the others fees by at least 5%. That does not include the charges for epuipment the others charge that paypal eliminates also. Accepting personal checks may be your choice for accepting payments from customers, in our experience checks are an unnecessary hassle. How many times will you have to pay your bank for bad checks that you deposit and never recover the money for the check or for the item? We are charged $20.00 for checks that we deposit that bounce on our business accountafter the first 3 that we lost a total of $60.00 on we said no more checks. None of our fine customers that sent us the bad checks ever saw fit to make the checks good or cover our charges. And waiting for a check to clear while holding inventory is not practical for the amount of volume we movemaybe it is not a problem for you. PayPal will come through for Mr. Bostick - Original Message - From: Matt Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: MARK BOSTICK [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Meteorite List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 4:35 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Pay Pal update Just think...you could have kept that 500 clams PayCrap stole from you and bought more meteorites with it!!

From the best I can tell, they were able to open a credit card through my Pay Pal account, as I recieved an e-mail from Pay Pal, too late to react, asking me to verify my membership number with the new card. My talks on the phone with Pay Pal did not bring this up through them so I really dont know. But funds where taken from my account and put into someone else's. From there Pay Pal should have no problem figuring out where they went, although I think I reacted fast enough there is a hold on it. They are suppose to investigate and contact me so we will see. Either way, it was strange enough for Pay Pal to put a blanket on the account and they did reverse one charge, so there should be no doult that it is fraud of some type. Pay Pal probley makes about $500 a month from me so you would think they will try to make this go away for me. It is frustrating that with the account frozen I cannot touch the funds that are in there now, nor can I recieve payments. This will of course make me think about dropping Pay Pal. With so many eBay users using it, it will be a hard thing to do. So we'll see. If they work everything out, I will probley foolishly keep them. But I have done about all I can and the rest is now up to Pay Pal so I guess I move on and wait. So with that in mind, stay tuned tonight for Meteorite Contest #8...
