Paypal

Right, discussion please gents. I have used Paypal for probably 10 years. I have an all singing all dancing account, yet these buggers still rip me left right and centre for fees, and I seem to have to jump through different hoops every time I want to take MY money out. To avoid the aggro and stress, I took out a contract on a credit card machine offering the same service as Paypal really, but with better flat rate fees to me. Since I got that back in February, I have used it over the forums a grand total of 4 times. I have had interest in Decats several times and as soon as I offer the credit/debit card service instead of paypal, they do a runner! I realise Paypal offer buyer protection, but the seller protection is gash in all honesty. Not the first time i`ve sent something and the plum at the other end has pics of it fitted on a forum and opened a dispute with Paypal saying he didn`t receive it! I then provide all tracking info and 3 months later I get whatever Paypal have managed to recover from their empty account! My margins are so small to pass as much help on to you guys as possible and that means Paypal fees are simply not a viable way for me to do business anymore. I have handed in my notice and will be operating full time for myself come next month.

My question to you is simple, would you be happy to call and pay over the phone like any other company, or pay a higher price for the priveledge of paying with Paypal? As that`s the way it`s going.
