Nope, that's why any time I try to book an America West flight online I have to call in to use that card... no problems with booking online with the B of A card tho...

From what I gathered last weekend at the Paypal Connect thingie, these guys are really smart in some areas and completely clueless in others.

Things I consider simple, like basic fraud control, is so far behind what we do that it's laughable. And I think their customer service is pretty much non-existent for merchants when an issue arises, though they seem to have debuted a system that maybe will help that, and they claim not to be freezing entire accounts over a dispute, just the disputed amount at this point. Their consistent claims that they are not a bank, while then making light of the 'FDIC pass thru rule' on insurance did tend to make me quite nervous.

But on the other hand, the currency conversion schemes, the integrated shipping center and ability to print UPS labels directly from your account, now these are some toys that really make what Paypal does stand out.



Nice offer, omnipotent, but I think you'd realize you got a bad deal when you realized that other than being able to cook restaurant quality meals, I am domestically impaired ;)
