| Man do I love the internet. Who doesn't? All the information (and porn) you could ever ask for and it's the fastest communication medium to date. But whoever the fuck started Paypal needs to be brought out to the woodshed and knocked around. Not only is it a dumb concept, it's also a dumb process. You start up a company that does what... we take payments and make payments. Great, so you took the intimacy out of me making a purchase... "But it's safer" No, it's not. I'd rather give up my information to SOMEONE than to SOMETHING. Who knows what they could rack up and say I bought and then tie things up for months with finger pointing within the actual business. But if I were to give someone my information and they tried to fuck with it... bada-bing your ass is grass, I know who it is and what they were doing with my stuff. But no, let's make this a tedious process and you know what, we're going to need your bank account with your credit card as well, even though they're both separate payment methods we'd like both. Not only have they botched my attempted ebay purchases on more than one occassion, I'm now being told that my credit card is no good for an "online purchase". That's great, considering I just made one a month ago on a different website without Paypal and their gay ass verification system. Moral of the story: 1) start company that has absolutely no purpose but give people a fake sense of security. 2) let's make the process not even work half the time 3) let's make people tell us ALL of their information that way we can know about every purchase/deposit/withrawal they make for the rest of their life.
