Re: Semi-OT: PayPal musings

It matters because PayPal SUCKS !

I say this knowing that I will soon be doing exactly what PC is doing just
so I can buy some mineral crystal specimens from asian sellers who only
accept PayPal. I've bought a couple thousand specimens on eBay without ever
having to use PayPal.

I recently created a second PayPal account with no link to a bank
account.
I also do not take payments on this account. The idea being that I use
it
to make payments on a credit card only.

I signed up on April 15th. Starting on May 18th I started receiving a
lot
of "spam" from PayPal. They extolled the benefits of being able to move
money from my PayPal account to my bank account if I only add my bank
account information. Nice try, but I have no plans to accept money with
this account. It will always be empty. Go away.

Then they started to send spam urging me to "Get Verified in Time for
Your
Next Pruchase!". If I do this I can enjoy these wonderful benefits:

* Instant transfer of moeny to and from your bank account
Sorry, I am not interested. I do not plan to have a balance in my PayPal
account.

* Secure Payments - Your bank account information is always private and
hidden with PayPal
I would say it is well hidden right now, thanks.

* Removal of initial Sending Limits
OK sounds nice but if I need to make a big purchase it will likely be
with
someone that can take credit cards, check, or money order.

* Confirmed ownership your bank account - protects against identity
theft.
You mean at present, no one knows who owns my bank account? Gee, thanks
for looking out for me guys.

* Increase buyer and seller confidence.
No one has refused my payments yet...

* One step closer to qualifying for Seller Protection.
*Yawn* - I am only using this account for payments.

I have received this spam on May 22, May 30, June 11, June 16, June 23,
June
25, June 28, and June 29.

Give it up guys. You are full of sh*t. Stop pretending to want to help
me.

and we all need to know this because ????????
