My issue with PayPal is I'm tired of the continual harassment. At least that's how it feels sometimes. I signed on years ago, gave them access to one of my credit cards and proceeded to do business. Only reason I did any of this in the first place is because more and more vendors were using the service. I didn't see the point of having yet another "layer" of bureaucracy (which also added to the cost of doing business) in the loop but it was what it was. Next thing I know, I'm getting continual harassment from PayPal to be "verified" in their system. I'd only been doing business through them for some number of years already. If they didn't know who I was by now, what's the point. Anyway, getting verified required one of two options, either apply for PayPal's credit card or give them direct access to my banking accounts. Well first, I already had more credit cards than I should have and definitely "did NOT" need or want another one and there was no way in **bleep** I was going to give them direct access to my bank accounts, especially when it was PayPal who virtually insisted on it.
Now we've got the "Electronic Delivery Policy" thing and every time I need to communicate with them, I get the message that says, either agree to the new policy or we'll close your account at the end of the year, period! So Ok, I finally get tired of that, click the box and try to continue on and what does PayPal say? They actually "thank" me for "choosing" the policy. I don't really feel like I chose anything. I did, per say, but when the choice is do what we tell you to or leave, that's not really a choice. If PayPal wants to institute 100% electronic delivery, they should just say so, have everyone acknowledge the policy change and move on. What happens to those who don't have internet access?
These things may seem pretty petty to some and I am just blowing off steam to some degree but to me it comes across as an attitude on PayPal's part that I'm getting tired of. I'll give them credit for working themselves into something close to the equivelent of the electronic indispensable man but that doesn't mean I have to like it.
Oh well!
