Pay Pal are at it again..., by melmoth on Apr 23, 2008 17:04:27 GMT 1, Paypal are absolute dirtbags. If there really was a viable alternative to them, I would use it, and tell Paypal to fvck off. Their Customer Service Department is one of the worst run operations that I've every had the misfortune to waste days of my life with.
And before anyone starts posting links of alternative ways to pay, please don't bother. A lot of the vendors that we buy from have Paypal as the only option to pay, so we're stuck with them.

Pay Pal are at it again..., by Replete on Apr 23, 2008 17:24:23 GMT 1, Too true I despair of using paypal and to larger extent selling some of my art on their owner ebay. Just one massive gouge from every possible angle.
I'm in the process of winding up my ebay shop though as I've had nothing but trouble with them taking down m listings because I mention I take commissions or put a link to my site to display my street pieces.
Tosswanks indeed!

If the guy wants to use the service to make money, he has to deal with how they work.
I do, however, agree that their "customer service" is lacking greatly.

Pay Pal are at it again..., by Heavyconsumer on Apr 23, 2008 23:02:08 GMT 1, I have had so many problems, generated by a simple change in personal details it's unimaginable unless you already know paypal! I've never dealt with more inept and poorly trained staff as in their call centre (which was bloody expensive to call repeatedly for long periods). Personally I've given up and resorted to paying for things by alternative CC processors or wire transfer where viable.
One constructive point for those of you who continue to use them - I learned that it is possible when they answer the phone, to request to speak to the European call centre and they will transfer you to Dublin. It makes a huge difference, although I was still unable to reslove my issues. At least the people have some vague concept of how to treat other people rather than barking company lines parrot-fashion because they aren't smart enough for any type of constructive conversation. I don't like to sound racist or xenophobic and I'm not suggesting that this is entirely due to being located in Manila, more that they must have a crap recruitment policy and poor training and probably underpay to boot. As Neverwork says, "You pay peanuts......."

Pay Pal are at it again..., by darjeeling on Apr 24, 2008 1:58:59 GMT 1, While I may despise paypal this rant makes no sense:
the only way to talk to someone from Experian is if I order a credit report, which I can not because I don't have a credit history.
But you can order a credit report regardless of your personal spending habits especially because you might want to make sure that no one has stolen your identity and gotten credit cards under your name and SS. DOn't know what he's talking about.

Pay Pal are at it again..., by morrissey1 on Apr 24, 2008 3:45:36 GMT 1, Ive been wondering what payment method I will use when the art cards go on sale in June, and the only paypal alternative that I can find (which is available to me in Canada) is www.moneybookers.com . Their fees are lower, they dont play the paypal games, and they are pretty easy to use. So, just to give folks a head's up, moneybookers.com will be the system in use when the charity art cards go on sale. Check em out.
