I chose to steer clear of PayPal 4 years ago after reading paypalsucks.com and finding similar horror stories elsewhere. Now I know it can't have been all that bad, but I just didn't like their heavy-handed nature — guilty till proven innocent (and how that affected access to funds) — so we bit the bullet and got a merchant account. For only a few hundred bucks a year we're able to show the same professional storefront (ie we accept Visa, MC, and Amex) as all the "big boys".
Having said all that (and not regretting anything), I recognize that times change; does anyone have any newer thoughts of agreement or disagreement on this? Good or bad experiences with PayPal, or with customers' impressions? |
