At the core of your very well crafted considerations and arguments lies one critical flaw; Paypal's risks or issues are none of our problems and the burden for which should not be rolled over and down the chain of responsibility or power. Unfortunately, it is a systemic problem in the American business culture and society as a whole that responsibility and consequences are constantly passed down to to the point where responsibility and power intersect, leaving the powerless holding the consequences of the powerful.
I, nor anyone else that pays Paypal cares, nor should have to care what their particular drama-issues are when conducting business with them. The time is rife for a system that is not as corrupt, abusive, incompetent, and dishonest as Paypal. How many more stories of someone's funds being frozen, i.e., stolen for a year do we have to hear where companies and individuals will start shying away from doing business with Paypal. Paypal is about as much of a pal as a backstabbing, draining, sabotaging, untrustworthy piece of shit as a company can be, why are people still working with them.
Paypal needs to suffer the same demise that MySpace did when they became a harbor for pedophiles and the scum of the earth .... with blinking flair all over their screen.
- orclev 13y agoPretty much. I refuse to use Paypal for anything unless I absolutely have no choice in the matter. I'd be really happy if they'd just do the world a favor and go out of business so someone less shifty could take over. I would rather they deny someone an account than wait until that account has racked up a huge pile of money before suddenly deciding it's too risky to be doing business with the company that money legally belongs to, and that they need to just hang on to all of someone else money just in case they go out of business... say from some shifty company stealing all their money right when they need it most. There's something of a self fulfilling prophecy here, Paypal decides a company is at risk of going out of business even though they're pulling in lots of money so Paypal decides to freeze a substantial portion of the companies assets. How many companies do you think can survive having most of their assets frozen for an unknown number of months? Not many I'd bet, so at a guess I'd say Paypal probably has a near 100% success rate at predicting companies going bust after they've frozen their accounts.
- brudgers 13y ago"Paypal's risks or issues are none of our problems" While that obtains for any business which does not do business with Paypal, the converse obtains for any business which does to exactly the degree that those risks or issues are expressed in the structure of the agreement with Paypal.
- ceejayoz 13y ago> Paypal's risks or issues are none of our problems and the burden for which should not be rolled over and down the chain of responsibility or power. PayPal is taking precisely that position - that Mailpile's potential problems and burdens should not become PayPal's.

But they don't owe you a payment service. You could just go the bank and get a regular merchant account. Yes, they're a pain in the ass to deal with, but stop being such a drama queen.
