Title: Occupy N. First Street
Post by: OcuppyNFirstStreet on October 07, 2011, 12:08:18 AM
This is it.

Paypal is as evil as Wall Street financial companies.

Occupy the Paypal's headquarters street!

So, are you with PP? They won't have anything to do with BitCoin!
Many people have had accounts frozen due to the association with BitCoin!

No. Paypal is an evil payment processor. They brainwash people saying they are doing a good job protecting you from anything they do not protect.

They are in no way defending your interest when they mail you phrases like "My name is xxxxx and I'm here to help you".

They claim "Shop and pay online quickly and securely" - you know they are not secure. "Send money to just about anyone" - you know it is a lie. "Accept online payments for items you sell" - another lie. You are not free if you cant send a payment to Wikileaks  or pay for bitcoin.

Don't use then if you can.

Nah, I came across a thread in which you were saying "Evil PayPal", and I realized what you were doing!
I misunderstood where you were going in the OP!

I actually RARELY use PP! Only when I absolutely MUST!

An E-tailer posted a payment (an unauthorized payment I might add) just a few weeks ago to my PP account! When I went to dispute the transfer, I was treated like the criminal/scammer!

They are a joke, and have been at least since they and e-bay became one entity!

My mom had $4000 stolen from her bank account because of PayPal. It's a shitty company.

I even had my account frozen multiple times by buying stuff from eBay.

I'm not sure what you mean!?! They will have NOTHING to do with BitCoin! They don't recognize it as a "tangible good" that's worthy of their customers holdings! If you sell BTC to someone paying with PP, and PP finds out, they will freeze your account!

Why do people continue to use paypal when it has shown itself to behave in such ways towards their customers? There are alternatives (besides bitcoin).

I like this idea, park right in PayPal's front lawn.

     I've had my account frozen several times for seemingly unknown reasons. Paypal is a bit worse than any of the big banks IMO.
