    Omg, Paypal's new interface sucks! I don't know why Paypal did this, but they now have it set to where, when someone pays you, you don't IMMEDIATELY see the transaction show.

    WTF is Paypal doing this for? Not being able to see my transactions the moment they occurs makes it easy for me to make accounting mistakes. Dammit this was a stupid move on Paypal's part. Why couldn't they just leave the interface the way it was?

    Is anyone else pissed off about Paypal's new interface?

    I just signed in before and noticed this for the first time. I don't like it one bit - I like to see immediately what I've earned and what I've paid out.

    Yeah, this is frustrating. I'm about to market one of my websites, and I've been thinking of going with another payment processor other than Paypal, perhaps moneybookers.

    This new change with Paypal is quite annoying. It is interesting to see that so many people are complaining about the same thing.

    You know, in the war against Google, Paypal is one of the few cards eBay has. If eBay was smart, they would get rid of that stupid feature.

    I don't appreciate Paypal taking steps like this without asking its customers first. As a entrepreneur/business person, I would not make a move which could potentially alienate customers and send them to my competitor.

    It doesn't really bother me. The only time I log on to PayPal is when I get an email telling me that I've sold something.

    Yes but mostly with that f*cking horizontal scrollbar that pops up and covers the buttons at the top of the page after you make a transaction.

    Every time I try to view the transaction or sender details I'm getting that "blank" "Click here to retry" (with "Page Not Found" on the browser's top) link which does not make sense to me. It does not show any picture nor explains why I should retry. This slows me down a LOT and does NOT make ANY sense.... I click to retry and it goes nowhere! Then I go back, do it again and it happens again and again and again...! I feel like cancelling my peepal account.

    Also: how does one check the sender's or recipient's status? I used to check status by (not) sending to them $1, but now I can't. I got money from an unverified sender who seems to be ok, but how do I check his status (how old member and how many unique users paid)?

    I am not really bothered about these changes because I rarely recieve anything and If I do, its mostly a single transaction for the day.
