After much thought we have actually took paypal off our website now. We are tired of the iussues weve had over the last couple of years and with us doing around 3k each week through paypal i think we deserve better. I also have had delays in payment hitting my bank account even though we pay the extra fiver to wire the money. Their tactics are little gun ho. They treat you as if you are a numpty.. They also are holding 20% of the transactions for 60 days which they have been doing for a while now. Works out that they coonstantly hold about 1900 quid or so of our money that we cant touch. We feel that we have to move away from Paypal as it tends to be one way traffic. Great at first but as every single business owner will tell you. Once your business grows, YOU WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH PAYPAL. Do yselves a favour. Find an alternative. It hasnt affected our business taking paypal off the website. Everyone has a card, and we dont sell on ebay either so we aint concerned about paypal and ebay. Youd be better off starting a free shop from freewebstore.org and then starting a google adwords campaign for the website to get you up there on google. We were making sales in the foirst 4 bhrs of setting up .Then use google checkout as you dont get charged anything to processs the payments if you have a google adwords account. DROP PAYPAL. THEY WILL HAVE YOUR PANTS DOWN EVENTUALLY GUYS. Litlle tip worth thinking about. Good Luck.
