Paypal, please fix your **bleep**. And hopefully if you have been hacked you have the intergrity as a company to tell your users. I just recently started buying on eBay. On 13 December 2010 I purchased five items totaling around $250.00 using paypal and paying with my credit card. One of the items was returned to the seller by the fine people at the USPS because it had been mangled and the address could not be read. If it could, they probably would have sent the **bleep** to me. He proceeded to contact me and refund my payment. On 17 December I found a similar item on eBay and used the buy it now option. When I went to make my payment via paypal, it takes me to a screen I have never seen before. It is asking for me to enter my payment method, and gives the fields to enter my credit card data. No matter which of my credit cards I try to use, once I submit from this screen it takes me to another screen saying that I must add funds before the payment can be made. So, I added my funds and now I have to wait 3-5 business days for the funds to clear. Let me also say that I pay my bills, so BS answers like "maybe your card is maxed out" make me want to punch someone in the throat. PAYPAL - WTF? You pride yourself on security and ease of use. Does anyone at your company take enough pride in their job to find out what the real problem is and fix it? I am apparently not the first one encountering these issues, and I doubt I will be the last. I welcome any response that is intelligently thought out and leads to a resolution. Please do not respond if you are going to feed me the typical BS. P.S. What do you expect from a company whose spell check feature on their website does not include the name of their company in the database. Are you serious? Maybe all the corners that were cut in the development of this site are what is really leading to these problems. Thanks for the great service. LOL. I'm glad you guys added the feature that takes profanity and replaces it with "bleep" though. I'll keep that in mind when I encourage my 5 year old to go online shopping.
