Paypal is evil - Hackdot

I don't think anyone actually thinks PayPal is "evil" (in the Jungian sense), but, as this story suggests, and the story it linked to suggests, and as the number of upvotes its received suggests, there is plenty of evidence that indicates PayPal isn't known for stellar customer service, and therefore you might at least want to consider having a Plan B before signing up with them.

Just ask Google:

Upvotes don't always indicate agreement.

I know I upvote many stories that are well written, interesting, and thought provoking, even when I don't agree with them.

I typically upvote articles to "save" them for future reference. It doesn't in any way mean I "agree" with the point of view, just that I think either the article or the discussion attached to it is something I might want to revisit for some reason.

Well put! I think the headline was just for grabbing attention, but the moral of the story is to always have a backup plan if you use paypal.

You should always have a backup plan no matter who you use. You don't want a single point of failure on your ability to receive payments.
