My thoughts exactly. Until Paypal allows me to receive funds as well as send funds there isn't a chance in hell that I will be using them to pay for anything. They can't trust me enought to allow me to get money, but I can pay without a problem... no thank you!
Unfortunately they act as if counting on us being forced to accept to use them regardless of their inequal service due to lack of other options that can be trusted. (I do trust Paypal). This situation is likely to be changed by Google Checkout I hope. Competition is the way to get a better service..
I've been looking at Moneybookers and they seem pretty solid for person to person transfers, just a pity that it seems nobody wants to use them if they have access to PayPal.
The main thing is POPULARITY! Paypal Is very popular and is a well known gateway.. Many sites and many cart system of websites include paypal checkout by default.. Now if u want to change it then pain.. No body want to do the hard work so they want to use Paypal.. Also Moneybooker - Paypal & paypal - moneyboker we have to use third party and that is bad.. There should be a System Like this.. Legal and Authentic. So that we can use it for exchange..third party are not trustable.. If atleast this exchange system gets into business then no problem with MB or PP.. When a Person have MB and the Shop Owner wants PP he will just pay the %amt service charge extra and he can get what he want... Or they should have a Multiple Option in a Single Checkout system... I m dreaming..
it would be fantastic and would really boost paypals customer base if they made "debit cards" for your paypal accounts, where you could use a ATM machine to withdraw cash, but i guess that would mean Paypal turning into a "BANK" which they should do anyway so we can earn interest on our money . BTW if this has already happened in other countires, sorry im not aware as i live in australia and it takes us just that little bit longer to get the latest stuff!
