Paytpal is such a crock of crap! I can't believe people still use this service and put up with the nickle and dime bull tactics! I luv how they have these "agreements" which don't provide you any recorse. Ahh hello but an agreement is something the both parties mutualy agree to not someone cramming it down your throat. It's aggravating when people or companies only want to deal with payments through this crappy company. Sorry but I don't like having even more of my personal banking information floating around additional sites. They even want you to pay for it! Like they're doing me a favor by making me do these things. I guess since I'm not a fleebay fan I don't see the benefits of using their service. Maybe thats why I'm biter.
The last purchase I made was with a board member here. Dont really know him, but he's been around long enough. Can you believe he took a personal check! from my own personal bank account!! and guess what it didn't even bounce or anything!!! And the only additional fees were the friggin postage!!!! holy crap, can you believe something like that even works?!?!?
If you're a business go out and get a merchant account and get setup to process credit cards! It's not hard. It makes you seem more business concious and does afford protection. Sheesh if things are so bad then maybe they should only accept cashiers checks and add fresh DNA samples. I know it's tough being in business and there are people out there comitting fraud but that's what insurance is for. Why should the rest of the consumers suffer.
I don't ask my clients to pay invoices through a paypal account. If they have a special process they set it up. I don't have to pay extra for it.
Now that I'm on this rant why not just do like so many other shady businesses do and advertise a price for your products at a low price through an astericks at the end and add the comment of "shipping and handling extra" Then you can slap the consumer with all fo your shipping fees and in the handling fee you can slap them with all of the paypal fees, telephone usage fee, admin fee, processing fee, filling fee, and slap your profit margin in it too.
Product a list price = 240.00
product a sales prices = 100.00*
S&H = 160.00
--------------------
Total = 260.00
TaDa! I guess this wouldn't piss some people off either.
I still remember when I used to get things delivered C.O.D.
Sorry just had to vent and this wasn't me pointing at any board memeber, vendor, merchant, or this board. My rant is strictly focused at PayPal. have a nice day and f@ck you very much.
