What to do? Seller doesn't take Paypal

<< < (3/4) > >>

All nice and well, and big names always get banged, but for us Europeans Paypal is the only fast and relatively cheap way (apart from direct Credit Cards payment of course) to get money to (f.i.) the U.S.

F.i. for me it's quite sad that Bob Roberts doesn't accept PayPal. Sending old-fashened things like "money orders" or "bank drafts" is not the way I imagine this should work in the year 2006. (Let alone that bank employees will understand what you want them to do).

Transfering money through banks internationaly is insanely expensive. (The situation for Europe (that is the EEC countries) improved a lot howerver a couple of years ago, we can now do FREE bank transfers between all EEC countries, directly through internetbanking).

Bob also suggests Western Union ....I don't even want to know how much they charge and all the insane hassle I have to do (go to a post-office, stand in line, explain to a zombie what I want to do, etc. etc.)

I'm not blaiming Bob for this situation !!! It's his right to choose, but I only want to give some arguments PRO PayPal !!!

Blabla....a lot of trash thrown around by former employees (kicked out maybe ?)

I'm using PayPal now for a couple of years and have never had a problem. Yes they charge money for their service, so what ? That's what companies do, make money.
As long as it's a lot more convenient than bank hassle and also a lot cheaper, I'm fine with PayPal.

well i did have five grand charged out of nowhere to one of my credit cards i had on file through paypal back in '02...

luckily i caught it and let my credit card know...

paypal froze my account once i complained...it was never resolved...

OK that sucks...

I'd like to see a world-wide system like we have here in Europe now. But that's probably a dream for the coming years....
This actualy is one of the (few) good things the EEC has accomplished (and forced upon the banks !). It's crazy that the banks don't realise how stimulating this is for international trade on the small scale....
