You didn't have to restrain yourself that much.  This isn't the DAZ forums-- things aren't so strict that you can't call the ass bastards who did this a few choice names.  Just have to keep all but the mildest profanities out of it :)

I have multiple problems with paypal-- someone mentioned that if someone manages to steal your CC AND get a hold of your paypal account, that it's incredibly difficult to clear things up with them, apparently.  They also have a terrible habit of shutting down your account if they think its activity looks suspicious, which doesn't take much.  When my mom and I have used it, they've tacked on hidden fees. 

I also agree with someone else in this or a similar thread that they need to be regulated as a bank-- as do all other online transaction companies based on the Paypal model.

I also take exception to the way that they put the burden on the seller/vendor side of the transaction, among other things that they do to the vendor.

They also have a nasty history with the treatment of NPOs and freezing their funds on a whim.  This is due largely to their "automated fraud monitoring system"-- this same system also hurts vendors.

Personally the only company I would use for e-transactions is Amazon-- my mom has used it a lot without problems, unlike with Paypal.  I would not expect Rendo to ever offer that as an option however as the company is completely inflexible on the vendor-end.
