It took us literally a month of calling LU law firms until we finally found one that didn't have ties to / being the tentacles of PayPal.
Credit cards - yes you might lose 20% of your customers - but can u find a payment processor to handle your business?
EDIT: the story from your other comments is pretty hair raising!!
I disagree with first hand experience. LU is a money laundering state, simliar to Switzerland, or akin to Ireland for dodging corporate taxes. The EU would be a better place if it removed/cancelled all of this shitty economic behaviour!
Okay so before I say anything that ends up putting my foot in my mouth, lemme just check something real quick…

Well, I can now confidently say:
We've known that for literally decadeS.
Edit, in fact, come to think of it, that—almost certainly—means:
People've linked PayPalSucks.com in the comments on Slashdot _since before 9/11_.
NOT a criticism, more an observation.
Luxembourg seems like an even shadier place than Switzerland for money laundering -- the "legal" kind. There is a stock exchange in Luxembourg that is used for all kinds of back door listings to avoid regulation in other jurisdictions. It is is /similar/ to money managers using Caribbean Islands (Cayman, BVI, etc.) for their business registration.
