Professionalism from PayPal???
Visit
http://www.paypalsucks.com and then come and post how professional they are.
I've never had a problem myself with PayPal so I still think they are viable for non-adult processing. I think their decision to blow off the adult industry from a strategic standpoint is a bad thing since so many people visit adult sites and will soon be seeing whatever replacements do end up on adult sites for the long haul and that will only erode PayPal's market share albeit gradually.
Like the other posts say, I agree never leave your money sitting anywhere.
I have not seen one perfect system yet. You can find flaws with everyone of these companies.
Like I said, I can't see how it can hurt anything by having ample alternatives for customers.
I believe in giving everything a chance. I recognize every company doesn't come out with the perfect system, many wing it til they get the formula just right, many fail, many succeed.
I remember when the grand daddy of AVS's now Adult Check ran into problems early on. As have most of the major sponsors from time to time.
The whole problem with the Net is we are vulnerable to all the powerhouses in money transfer, the banks, Visa, MasterCard, etc.
They all have us by the balls and they know it. At any time in the future we might see the headline saying MC and Visa are stopping all adult processing. It could happen. And I peg it at at least a 1 out of 5 probability if not higher.
So the more backups now, the better. That's my opinion and everyone should do and use whatever works best for them.
