Paypal Agrees to Consumer Protections

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the oh-all-right dept.

davidwr writes "Paypal settled a suit with Maryland and 27 states. Among other things, they'll conspicuously advertise a contact phone number and staff it 14 hours a day and be much more forthcoming about when they will debit your bank account. For those of you who think Paypal Sucks, well, starting soon it sucks just a little less."

    For those of you who think Paypal Sucks, well, starting soon it sucks just a little less.

    In fact it sucks less by precisely the minimum decrement of suckage allowed under law, and only then when compelled by the court. Way to go, paypal.

    This doesn't make them any more honest, it just stops one of their unfair practices. I'm sure they can think of others.

  2. PayPal not sucking? by Life700MB · · Score: 5, Funny


    Does it mean that PayPal will stop blocking accounts (and the money in them) for peregrine reasons like, in my case, your name sounding similar to Al Qaeda's terrorists? And I'm not even in the same continent nor religion as them!
