I have had two similar experinces but what other payment service is as accepted? I would switch in a second but I dont see even a distant second.
relying on paypal is the biggest hassle. You should just register your own business as your local dmv, it is like $25 and then you can simply go to your bank and set up a merchant account. From there you can accept all of your own credit cards, all you have to do is contact each credit company that your bank does not directly work with. my bank works with visa mastercard, so that was set up automatically. I then simply contacted amex and discover online merchant services got everything set up. Now, I have total control of payment processing and never have to wait for any type of paypal verification. this can be used for any type of business, from simple work from home programs, to ebay, and any other business home or brick and mortar.
Wish I could do that.. It's only open to US customers, and many of us aren't.. I've heard that it's a good service though
Paypal actually keep the dispute facility for the ebay users. He is totally aimed on supplying goods to the buyer perfectly. It is clearly stated in their TOS. You can also think about e-gold. There is no dispute opening chance in e-gold, as e-gold is not related to e-bay. Its totally a forex related currency Regards
