ya i would be...well no i dont know what i would do if ebay didnt do anything about 21k dollars worth of fees....

but im sure eventually they would have realized it was someone else and i would have gotten out of it.

 

Most of us that are active with EBAY use pay pal as well. If a hacker can get to passwords and login names who is to say they can't get to these bank and credit card numbers? I about tired of using Pay Pal anyways. I make a transaction and it's several days of money going in and out of my account is very concerning. It seems to last a good week before everything stabilizes with my account. Anyone else track this process?

 

Yes. I track my PayPal - for three years I have had only one problem with PayPal - they went down for 72 hours a few months ago and I couldn't access my account. When it came back up, it was back to normal - along with a very nice credit for the time they were down - try getting that from a bank! I use PayPal for on-line payment processing, and also to make my business purchases. They charge the normal rate for Visa and Master Card transactions, but the cool thing is that when you buy with thier credit card, you get a nice percentage back! Quite frankly, there is no other on-line payment system thats safer or better than PayPal; I know, I've tried them all. They have millions of dollars moving through their system every month. I used to be a critic of PayPal, but the last two years of advancement by PayPal is quite remarkable. You have to treat it like a checking account; if you do, you wont have any problems.

There truley is no safer way to send money than PayPal. I could go on and on about how many times PayPal has saved my a$$ - but I think you already know by now how I feel about PayPal.

 

i fully agree....it does take some time for money to move (one nice thing is..if my actual paypal acount is dry, i can make a payment from my checking, and dont have to worry about putting money in my checking till the next day.. so its not actually instant, which is a plus for me)

it does take some time to transfer funds though (be it to bank/from bank)

but paypal is MUCH easier than the old days of receving tens of money orders a day, it makes it so 90% of the time i only have to make one trip, which is to my shipper.

 

I got an "Ebay TKO" notice today, I hope they get this **** taken care of [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
