I still think there is a business opportunity here for an auction site similar to EBay, that accepts payment styles other than PayPal.

Looks to me like EBay is shooting themselves in the foot.

That is, unless the number of scams they have to investigate is really high enough to save them money by omitting all other payment methods.

Never had a problem with Paypal myself and the website has always been pretty fast for me.
However, I’ve never really had to receive any money through it, so there is a whole side to it that I have no experience with.

I don’t think “probably” is even close to defining their differences in relation to security.

I don’t think that windows 98 can run IE7…but yeah a new mac is probably more secure than windows 98…

It’s a pity that instead of alienating its own customers they don’t do something to improve the speed of their servers.

It’s taken over 10 minutes for a payment to be accepted and processed the last few times I’ve had to use Paypal.

Any more of this and I’ll be boycotting them.

The idea that my Mac running Leopard and the latest Safari browser is more vulnerable than some old PC running Windows 98, but using IE7 is frankly a slap in the face.

Paypal… as they say… sucks.
