PayPal: still sucking

https://twitter.com/goodonpaper/status/243713015034302464

And the sad irony (note the ad).

I’ve seen this kind of crap aired about PainPal so many times…. I won’t use them for anything over 100 euros at a time. PP is only as big as it is because it’s a monopoly on the international level.

I hear Stripe is really good, but it’s U.S. only, naturally. Any others around the world? Europe? France?

I still have my eye on Square too, once I’m important enough to use it.

See this post by Elliot Jay Stocks for another PayPal story.

Am also looking at online sales at the moment. From what I know, Square is only available in the US. Yes, that’s correct, only in the US.

More research needed…

Re: PayPal: still sucking

When I used Paypal for an online store, I pretty much withdrew funds every 2 days – too many stories like this.

On the plus side they did refund $1200 to me after a bogus online transaction.

Re: PayPal: still sucking

Considering how many complaints and issues paypal has, its amazing that another company hasn’t risen up and taken over. Kinda sad really that they still basically have the monopoly. I’ve had several problems getting payments with them and it took them a long time to straighten them out.
