Find me a bank that has held people's funds for years with no recourse. *Normal* people - not terrorists, money launderers, or other things like that. Then we'll talk :) Remember - Paypal is not a bank. They almost had to play by bank rules. AFAIK they never wound up having to though, and your mileage -can- vary. I wish someone would make a Paypal clone that did not have such an odd history of shadyness. Their interface is simple, the idea is great, adding an API was great, etc. But I won't trust them for 100% of my income, ever. I'd diversify and/or go with a third party merchant (or get and use my own merchant) long before that. For the most part, people have no problems. But if you're one of those people with a problem you'll feel the wrath of how shady the whole appeals process is. Try to talk to someone in appeals - you can't. You have to use a mail form to try to communicate with them. You're given no names or accountability, nobody to talk to. You're guilty until proven innocent. But again, I'm just one of those people who got bit - ignorance is bliss :) Idea: A+ Execution: F -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
