You need to get away from the idea that Paypal is a service to you; it isn't. It's a service for ebay, and anyone else they can squeeze money out of.

Wow! Is PayPal really that bad? I mean, I've been using PayPal since the 90s and I cannot for the life of me think of any major challenges outside of the "existing" PayPal account stuff. Ya, I know, that can be a real pain in the arse.

We process hundreds of transactions every month via PayPal with very few issues. If you are a business that relies on PayPal as your sole processor, then you will most likely take the time and make the investment to utilize the API, it changes the playing field considerably.

The way ya'll are talking, you are starting to make me think twice about our PayPal offerings. That's what these types of topics do.

On a side note, I didn't like Wells Fargo so I changed banks years ago. I'm not 100% pleased with me current bank either but I'm not changing again, it ain't worth it. The same would apply to our PayPal implementations. They seem to work just fine for the most part, just as well as any of our ecommerce platforms using Authorize.net or whatever. I also make purchases using PayPal and I've not had a single issue in that area. The sites I've purchased from offered the option, I used it and everything worked fine.

Heh! PayPal gets treated just like Microsoft and Windows around here. ;)
