PayPal Community

I ended up calling and speaking to the outsourced paypal associate in India, I believe, who ASSURED ME that the timely manner they are using was to conform to all government regulations to secure my money and make sure it was properly directed to my account. Um.....what? That's called money laundering. When you ship money from one hand to another to another to another to another and it crosses more state and country boundaries than Ma Bell, um, yeah, that's what that is called.
