What do you all think is a great thing, as is, or if like me you think that they really should have competition. PayPal seem to forget that you are the customer using their process for payment which if one notices they keep changing their rules to suit themselves. Eg, Do you know they only give 45 days for a complaint to be lodged ( Ebay same). What about International customers. It takes about that time before you really get concerned to start complaing if just standard air mail.Lucky here you can by -pass them and lodge a complaint through your bank and they seem to get them cough up. They give the guarantees that you will not be out of pocket and they should stick to them.
I have also had them try to change my payment method because it suited them due to less charges through certain accounts which are at their end not mine.
I reckon they need competition and credit cards are not the only answer but maybe we need another payment process company. You feel they are making a law unto themselves due to lack of competition.

I try to avoid all electronic payment forms, real money is the way of the anarchist. The revolution will be fueled with hard cash and bartering.

Ebay moving away from money orders is one of the many reasons I quit using ebay.
Ebay was fun at first, but the end result has been that garage sales and thrift stores have lost a lot of their naive charm and good finds as well.

Re Matt:
Yeah, I've noticed the kids complaining about changes to youtube, as a source for learning songs, it still works great for me.Whats sad is the decline of myspace as a tool for musicians and bands. Its like the owner has given up and nobody is in charge of the place anymore, it used to be the best resource for finding new bands. The first wrong step was when they got rid of all the band searches by genre etc.

Facebook is creepy, it connects you to too many people too quickly, no thanks, I don't care what the losers at my old high school are up to.

Now there's SoundCloud and BandCamp, although the latter also offers paying, which can be seen as a pseudo-itunes or something in that vein, just better looking.

[QUOTE=js]Facebook is creepy, it connects you to too many people too quickly, no thanks, I don't care what the losers at my old high school are up to. I go on about once a week with my belated birthday greetings. They send a notification about 5 days before and I always forget nieces, nephews, and the odd family member not only friends get the treatment from me. "How could you forget" those words ring in my ears from the past I forgot our wedding anniversary again this year.

I've worked with those sites some, the old myspace had real streamlined ways for similar bands to hook up and working with your site was a cinch. We run into complications on soundcloud.

I have not used PayPal. A problem for a leak and business of the information has been pointed out before in Japan. Is there often such a case?

Seconded. I have an alias on there for keeping in contact with a couple overseas friends - but then, e-mail does the same thing so I don't know why I bother. |

Frequently used PayPal and had no problem around me ... I'm afraid I've assumed so.

That's moe or less what I think as well, although there are some people I'd like vto know what they became....Sometimes you lose sight/contact of people you shouldn't have But I won't go to these kind of sites , just for that.... I see how they are prying into your life for ex: The fiscal civil servant (IRS, if you wish) people in Europe are checking out to see if you didn't post piccies of your undeclared ferrari, etc... I mean YOU published the picture, right??? noooooooooo, thanks |

Never in my case... The only time I've ever heard of a pproblem, it was a buddy that respondeed to an e-mail that asked him to check his info and codes, giving him a link to do so needless tio say, that things went awry... He claims Paypal refinded him his €800.00 fully, but will not do so again... he's warned, now Paypal wil NEVER send you those e-mails.... they tell you right away when you sign up. a
