I signed up for the merchant account the admin at http://paypalsucks.com
is offering via Cardservices Intl.

Im one of the ones who have yet to have a problem with paypal but have been very vocal over the years of their abuses as well as feebays. I hate them just as much as anyone else because I do know they and feebay are screwing people left and right.
Ive been looking for months at this particular merchant account and after receiving a VERY large order the other night at my website, (via PayPal) and worrying if down the line, I will get hit with some lame excuse from paypal that the purchase was bad. I went directly to my ATM the next morning and pulled the funds out of paypal and deposited them into my checking account.
We should NOT have to always be stressed by a companies like ebay and PayPal. Always wondering when we will be their next victim of their convoluted, bogus polices and lack of disclosure in matters of chargebacks and supposed fraudulent funds or SNAD issues they raise with so many.
Always wondering if we are in violation of some listing policy. Watching the unleveled playing field scenarios. Scared to post on their forums for fear the undercover pinks or lieworld contractors will find a reason to pull your actions. Dealing with numpty new jerks like I was recently, who was messing with my auctions and getting them pulled because some idiot in India cant comprehend a policy.
I have been so much less dependent on ebay over the last few years and Im so glad I have had a website up for as many years as Ive been on feebay. Im tired of their BS policies that are getting tighter and tighter with attempts to CONTROL us all. Feebay can kiss my a$$.
As soon as my banking info and all is confirmed, my website will no longer accept credit cards via paypal.
My few auctions at feebay will also stop accepting paypal payments as well.
If I notice a large drop in sales on feebay due to this, I may reconsider using PayPal
and that will be the only place I use it.
I have a feeling this wont be the case as more and more people (buyers and sellers alike)
seem to be so tired of dealing with the monopoly feebaypal.
My website sales have been increasing steadily over the last few years as my feebay auctions sales have decrease steadily over the same time period.
Its not much but as I and many have always KNOWN. The only real way to STOP all this BS abuse is to quit using these services. I know that is impossible for many at this point, including me.
Hopefully though, by this time next year or even sooner. I wont use ebay either at all.
I SEE a trend where many are more comfortable purchasing from legitimate websites where they know UPFRONT who they are dealing with and not some user ID. I suggest to anyone who is a serious e commerce seller and you rely on you online proceeds to make your living that you do indeed cut the ties as much as possible to these two runway companies as the trend is definitely going against them, no matter how much they try to spin and deny it.
They KNOW it is true. :blinkie:
