I really hate paypal.. :(
-
Not sure whether you guys faced the same problems like me or not. My Paypal account is moved to restricted area.. That means I can't send or receive the money.. :( I got around 1600 for my last project.. I have transfered a few but still 800 in my account.. :( now, what am I gonna do now?? I wanna withdraw my money asap. btw, I called to their support (Singapore) but they said that i need to fax some docs and need to get reviewed... and also, I have to wait for 5 to 7 business days.. :(

Do you have direct ties to the US?
No. man.. Can I know the requirement of opening a bank account in US? Do I need to stay in US to open a bank account in US? Can I open online? I'm currently using CitiBank in Singapore. I heard that they have a lot of branches in US too..

Wait, you're talking about taking business payments? I thought we were talking about personal use. Our company uses ShareIt, one of the zillion or so almost identical services all bought out by Digital River so I'm guessing if you went directly to Digital River's website and perused all the various payment services they now own you might find a good match for your business. DR bought pretty much every single independant payment processor over the last 10 years or so.

I support that. Though a little involved process, it is more safer and reliable.

but it take times. Like 5 to 7 business days.. (In Singapore, local cross-bank transfer used to take 2 days normally. ) Another thing is that we can't check whether the client send the payment or not before 7 days.. sometimes, we don't wanna wait and just wanna check immediately. :)

Why don't you check their website?
Sometimes, asking the user directly is much better than reading the doc. For example: Once upone a time, CitiBank make a promotion that allows everybody who got more SG$20K/year to apply credit cards.(normally, 60K/year) In their website, they wrote the same thing. So, One of my friend from Myanmar wanted to apply one credit card so that we went there and tried to apply.. But the stuff said that this promotion is not for people from Myanmar. Oh.. I was wondering why... at least, they should wrote like that in their site..

Personally we've been using it for years for Ebay stuff mainly and I've never had an issue with it. I find it easy and convenient.

Yes. I also felt the same earlier.. When I received the reply from Paypal saying that they are not able to change my name, I feel not liking them. 1) I don't see any reason why they couldn't allow me to change my name. 2) I don't see any reason why the name from Paypal account and the name from Bank account should be matched. Normally, Bank Account Number is the important thing. Not name. Note: I'm using premium account so that I'm also paying some charges whenever I transfer my money... And also, I'm cool with that. Now, Like I said, they blocked me. I understand that they are protecting me from hackers or etc.. but I already phoned to them and I told them that I can come and show the required doc to their office. But they don't accept me. :( Another thing is that they don't tell me the exact reason why my account is being locked.

Paypal/eBay seems to have started some unit in Chennai, India. Just last week, while driving on the Old Mahabalipuram Road, I saw their huge office. And the employees' transportation services bus is fully airconditioned. They seem to give a princely treatment for their employees at the expense of customers. :mad:

What's so wrong in treating the employees good? And that is at the expense of customers? How do you say that? A customer pays them for their service and after the money is paid, it is no more the customer's money. It is paypal's money and they can do whatever they want to, with it. Taking care of the employees is a good thing IMHO.

Surely they must take good care of the customers too. I don't have a second thought about that. I've never used paypal and I probably won't after reading all this. But I think that taking care of the customers and taking care of the employees are not related in any way. One should simply not gripe about a company taking good care of their employees, no matter what. That was my point. :)

That happened to me too because of some EU regulations. I just sent them a copy of my ID card and a proof of my address, and that should be enough. Still waiting for a confirmation, though. I called their phone support (Italy) and they were, for once, kind and helpful.

How did you send? Did you fax them? or Upload the image? I read like that. >>>Send only documents received by mail (online statements cannot be accepted).

They can't do anything for you, right? They can't do the faster way for you. They can't answer why your account is locked. Yes. That girl sound is sweet and kind.. but not that helpful for me.. :)

Customer First must be the mantra of any company. Any other thing should take the second or lesser priorities. If the company wants to survive, they should first learn to satisfy the customers and be grateful to them. They are the ultimate in writing the paycheck and indirectly helping out in the survival strategy of the company. It is the customer that decides whether the stone they lay for the company is going to be a foundation stone or a grave. :)

It is getting common now. The actual emphasis was the extravagant lavish spending on their private outfits rather than concenterating on the welfare of the customers.
