I used to love Paypal, in fact I am over a 5 year veteran customer. I (and my wife) have a Paypal trust score over 400 and an Ebay Feedback rating over 900. We have NEVER had a bad transaction on Ebay or Paypal until a few weeks ago.
We went into a short term money making transaction with a good friend of ours. He had bought several PS3 and Nintendo Wiiis and we were running the auctions. After we sold the first 3 Paypal without any warrant LOCKED our account and initiated an account re-verification. This was literally the next day.
As I spent 2 weeks fighting with Paypal to reactivate our account, my friend opened a NEW paypal account and a NEW ebay account with NO HISTORY and sold an additional 5 units without any intervention by the Paypal.
Needless to say, I concluded that my business with Paypal was done! Then today to reinforce that idea, I read this news story (explicit language). Paypal is dead to me!
Have yet to find a philosophical somewhere I am content to call home. The closest I get to a creed these days is a quote by John Green. "Whether I believe in God isn’t really relevant. I do believe however tenuously in Mercy" Due to a lot of personal reasons encountered along this journey, I have mostly stepped away from writing for now. Still, sometimes something stirs me and I need space to hash out my thoughts. So welcome to my little space along the journey.
