Re: Online Payment Options

Well there certainly seem to be some "stories" there that would make you 
wonder but I can only speak for myself.

The only money that ever goes into my paypal account is what is paid in by 
my clients and as soon as it's deposited, I transfer it to my bank account 
in Australia.

When I first signed up, I had questions that weren't covered on their site 
and I emailed them several times. They replied almost immediately or at 
least within 24 hours and my questions were all answered thoroughly.

I made a point of opening a special account here specifically for payments 
received into my paypal account and the card that is attached to that 
account can't be used for purchasing which stops *me* from having a credit 
card facility and spending like a mad woman LOL.

I'm probably not your average/typical paypal customer but I guess you can 
only judge a company by the way they've treated you and this is the first 
bad thing I've ever heard about them.

I'd be very interested in hearing the other side of the coin from some HWG 
members tho.
