[OT] Paypal

PayPal stinks.

Once you spend $500 through them, you can't use their service anymore unless
you provide them with complete information about your bank account!

I refuse to do this (they claim it's fraud prevention). I have had maybe
a dozen emails back and forth with them on this problem (it takes them from
2 to 4 days to respond to an email, incidentally), and they won't budge.

I can't wait until that PayPal (dis)service goes bankrupt. Justice.

And, not to mention the other downsides of using their service, already
mentioned here.

Bah!
