PayPal continues to show how shitty they are. Stop using them!
To people who work there, why? How can you continue to work for an organization that does things like this?
- fnordfnordfnord 12y agoI've already done that once, and I'm still doing it as hard as I can.
- GigabyteCoin 12y ago> PayPal continues to show how shitty they are. Stop using them! I really wish I could... When I created my SaaS a few years back, I went all out with payment providers. I registered and implemented every single form of online payment I could find. PayPal, AlertPay, PayPay, MoneyBookers, LibertyReserve, Bitcoin. You name it, I made that form of payment available. I even accepted money orders via snail mail. In the ~2 years I gave all of the "other guys" a chance, 99.9% of my payments came via PayPal. I received 1 money order. Perhaps 3 people paid via LibertyReserve. 0 payments from all of the other providers mentioned. And over 5,000 payments via PayPal. Unfortunately, there is no other option if you want to sell stuff online. And this is coming from one of Bitcoins biggest proponents.

- GigabyteCoin 12y agoThey weren't available in my country when I started up. They're probably somewhat of an option today, sure. But I suspect they'd still only garner 10-20% of sales at best. First mover advantage and all that...
- tim333 12y agoDunno - Kim Dotcom is a convicted fraudster with a long track record of enabling illegal copying. Paypal are a private company. Why shouldn't they be able to chose not to work with unsavoury clients?
