Can we stop the PayPal complaint train now?
If you have a viable alternative to suggest, then yes, it would be reasonable to tell people to stop whining. Given that PayPal is the only game in town, and that there is no obvious competitor for use by individuals and small companies, the complaints need to be shouted from rooftops.
Ask HN: what about WePay, is that a real competitor?
- thaumaturgy 16y agoComplaining loudly and often is only effective if it's likely to create a different outcome. PayPal isn't going to change their business practices (people have been complaining about them for years, hence my fatigue over it); there has been an opportunity in this market for at least this long; and authorize.net and other similar services are available to anyone that wants to spend a little bit of effort integrating their API. That's the last I'll say about this topic, because it's a waste of time.
