Devoid of business morals & with intent to circumnavigate regulation, they are two outfits I wouldn't give the pleasure of any of my money. PayPal is another ugly outfit too! Classic examples of biggest isn't always best. <rant-endeth> Steve Using ECT PHP versions since 2004 / 5 Edited by - 1818charlie on 07/04/2019 12:28:26

But I've always found PayPal quite a cuddly company and I would recommend all sites to have it as at least an alternative form of payment.

With the cash back debit card (I am grandfathered in at 1.5%), our cash back every month greatly offsets our fees. Making it by far the best deal for processing for us. Not to mention funds are instantly available. I know Paypal has gotten around some banking regulations by not being classified as a bank, and I have heard horror stories about frozen funds, but I think in recent years, they have been forced to comply with some of the regulations. In any case, there is no way I would use anyone else to process funds for my company. Steve is right on some levels, these companies get so big they are able to manipulate rules and regulations to suit themselves and block out competition.

Posted - 07/05/2019 : 14:53:20 I'm hoping that someday amazon or ebay will get in trouble for the HUGE quantity of counterfeit items sold through by 3rd party sellers. Ebay has been notified multitudes of times about this. The counterfeit items are reproductions of items originally made by companies that are no longer in existence so ebay won't do anything about them.
