Yeah, I started doing that on a few sales that had to be done via them. I was stung years ago by them when I received and email from PayPal (which at that time I never heard of) and I had no idea the money was going to be sent that way. They had no feature to allow the sender to back out the trans and I had to setup as a merchant to receive the money, it think it was $50-60 in fees to get to the money and then had to wait a week for transfer into bank.
I agree they are more inline with the majors CCs now and they have improved. Just got a bad taste from the start.
