I don't know what to tell you except the concept of PayPal was a silly one to begin with. The "services" offered by PayPal, Yahoo Wallet, etc, etc can mostly be found with your typical credit card.

I've purchased many high-priced items on Ebay. If the seller required PayPal or something similar I would not even consider bidding on it. I'll either use a bank-issued cashier's check or a credit card.

Both have the backing of, no doubt, an entire floor of lawyers who will gladly work with me to get my money back if I'm bulls###ed. :)

PayPal will self-destruct eventually. No business can afford to abuse their customers indefinitely.

Commies: Interesting that one of the co-founders, Levchin, is a Khokhlovskiy emigrant from Kiev. He must have worked for the government there before coming over - his customer relations skills reminds me a lot of a visit to the VVIR (Visa & Registration) over there.
