Paypal is officially the dumbest thing ever

[switch842]

As soon as I get my check from them, I am closing the account and never using them again. WHY WHY WHY do they need my credit card information to verify my address? My address is my address. What it I didn't have a credit card? Would I just be shit out of luck and never get my money from them? Cos it'll be a cold day in hell before I give them access to direct deposit to my bank account. fsdlkrtjgwtuj

They've been bugging me to update since my debit card expired in September. Can you say "cold day in hell?" I've used them a couple of times, but definitely not enough to warrant the hassle/worry of letting them have my bank acct #.

I guess what I don't get is why they need to verify my address when I'm asking them to send me money. There should be a space for the address you want the check sent to. Period. If I fill in the wrong address, then I'm an idiot and I don't deserve to get my money. It's just so stupid.

NOTHING on the Internet is as vile, evil as Pay-thug-Pal. Once money in an account:
they WILL "freeze" the funds --AKA: take the money and roll it into interest-bearing account --for themselves, using FALSE excuses. IF IF IF they let go of YOUR money: it will be 180 days later.

PayPal-eBay thugs: NOT insured, NOT covered by FDIC, customer gets ZERO protection; ZERO help from agencies. Ergo: money IN, nothing comes OUT. MILLIONS of people have lost their money/had their business destroyed because of NOT-your-pal Thieves. 'Asking' for your address: just a ruse/time-staller. Next: they will demand FAX of whatever, those get "lost" etc., etc., etc.

Google for yourself. Their TOS: NOT an enforceable contract --not signed by you. One man sued them for TOS contract when PayThugs kept his $115. and got Arbitration clause quashed. Result: PayThugs paid $9+ million fine, walked away and continue to steal --EVERY hour. Some estimates: they "earned" $100 million last year.

There are a few ways to get your money back, do your homework. NOBODY should give money to PayThugs --it WILL turn into a 'donation.'
