Ditto. I just put up a variation on this response at the blog itself:
This is a great response and encapsulates many of the issues I have with PayPal. I would add to it that enough people have been burned by PayPal to give it a lousy reputation; you can't write a post about the company without people chiming in with horror stories. My family's business -- see www.seliger.com -- is the kind of company Paypal would presumably want to use their service, but after I had a bad experience with them, I never would.
The first comment on http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=626518 Hacker News answers, "Because they appear, from many people's perspectives, to be nothing but scam artists?" With this kind of reputation, why _would_ people use Paypal.
