Yes. When I say the price is $29, people expect to see $29 on their credit card statement. $28.xxx will make them suspicious. There's a reason why Apple rounds prices on App store to nearest .99 in local currencies so people pay exactly wha

That would hold true if the transfer had been completed. PayPal is able to stop the process and credit my account back means that money has not actually left their system. I agree the underlying mechanisms are much more complex but I also u

//they saw the law as an opportunity to screw vendors.// Precisely! It would be in PayPal's interest if people keep the money in their PayPal account because they don't pay any interest while they themselves can earn an interest on that sum

Someone needs to ask this question to the likes of Stripe. Why is their fabulous service limited only to US/UK? Is it laws? Is it fraud? What prevents them from extending their service to other countries?

I have $200 of yours with me. I initiate the process of giving the $200 to you, like I take out my wallet. Then I stop before I actually give the money to you, I put my wallet back and then I tell you "Hey you know what now I owe you only $

Right, so they'd rather have companies incorporating in other countries for the sole purpose of being able to collect money from their customers! Seems legit. For instance - http://blog.freshdesk.com/how-to-incorporate-a-us-corporatio...

PayPal's fault is not returning me the money I had before the withdrawal took place. http://i.imgur.com/GIaP5O2.png THIS is entirely PayPal's fault. They can avoid it easily if they want to but NO. They have an opportunity to fleece some

I am the author and yes RBI and PayPal both are to be blamed here. I would like to hold balance in My PayPal account only because of a possibility of a chargeback or a dispute. I lament RBI for not allowing me to do that. I lament PayPal be

Add spam filtering ASAP. In the past I had created a URL shortner, even created an API and the usage exploded but most of the links were created by spammers and I used to get regular warnings from my host. In the end I just shut the whole t
