god bless paypal

Earning interest on frozen funds seems to be part of their business model.
Avoid paypal, use bitcoin.

I think you are on to something here. The original business model PayPal was going to use had them making their money only on the float. Then came the fees and now apparently hostage taking.
Bitcoin for the win!

This was totally justified on Paypals part. This was about protecting their customers from fraud. Nothing else.

I don't understand the bad wrap against PayPal here. People simply don't understand that if you break their rules then you are at risk of losing your money. When you successfully create an account at PayPal without accepting their terms, then and only then do you have any right to bitch about PayPal for whatever reasons.

They let you send money for free!

I'm missing something here

Something is wrong when they dont need court orders to be even able to chargeback transactions 

Avoid PayPal like plague

You really are one else does it, though google wallet is supposed to start.. IT IS 100 % FREE FOR ME TO SEND FUNDS

In lots of countries they have a gift option an it is totally free.

soon enough more and more will use bitcoin because of the freedom issue than the service charge issue.

Paypal is only good for people in US, if you are not better use it for only small amount. I have a paypal before they asked me for passport and my bills still they freezed my account for 6 months.

If there was ever a case to use Bitcoin I think this takes it!

Seems like it's every other day PayPal gets a bad write up. I hate them as a company and hope everyone else sees the light!

Paypal is paradise for buyers.  For sellers?  Not so much.

The only issues I've ever had with paypal was the tax forms and selling digital MMORPG goods..
