them, so as a seller you're doing OK. If you sell on Ebay, Paypal is good. If you're selling from a web site, you should get credit card processing.

There have been problems with Paypal. I had an account with them. I had my purse robbed and had to cancel credit cards and shut down my checking account. I told them that. They then froze my account until I provided my drivers license and credit card bills! Then they stopped funds on someone I was paying and held if frozen! By the time I got a new drivers license, i could care less.

Another time I was paying someone for something and they froze the transaction. He had to provide all kinds of information to prove he was who he said he was, even though he had the account for years. After three weeks of going back and forth, he refused the payment and I used Yahoo pay direct.

Then there was Whatreallyhappened.com. People were sending them money and they just canceled their account because they were - basically - anti-Bush. When WRH did some research and found that a lot of porn sites use Paypal - against their policies - Payal was embarassed. They eventually got their account back and Paypal got rid of the porn sites.

When things go wrong, Paypal is very hard to work with. And they have no rhyme or reason when they make decisions.
