Peter, You are man of great faith. Faith in mega corporations is one of the hardest kind to maintain. If 180,000 hits on the phrase "Paypal Complaints", and the legal actions by many who have been harmed don't convince you... Then I give up. We'll just have to agree to disagree. I do hope that if you are ever the victim of one of their witch hunts you'll report it here on this forum.
Answer me this. If they ever decide to shut you down for some crazy thing. Will you send them all of the following to continue your convenient relationship with them. A facsimile of your Drivers License. A copy of Your Checking account statement with transactions included Your Heating or Electric Bill They might want even more Peter. If I had continued to put up with it would they have wanted my wife's Birth Certificate next. Maybe a fax of our mortgage papers. This is an evil Monopoly that people have bought into, and now it controls ebay because more and more sellers will only accept Paypal. They won't be getting my business. The whole thing reminds me too much of the old jokes like... Hello we are from the government, and we are here to help you. Just give us your money and everthing will be OK. Don't worry about a thing you will be taken care of. Best of luck to you. Fred >this is a poor analogy. smoking is a definitive cause of cancer, which >is harmful. paypal, on the other hand, is not a definitive cause of >financial harm - although certainly there's risk that this can occur >without careful use...just like lots of things, like cooking breakfast >o r playing a sport, or just going outside of your house.
