fuck you, paypal

[piranha]

i imagine you all have read the latest dreamwidth announcement.

it's not as if i've liked paypal before, but now i am through with them. the question is, i've mostly used them out of convenience, because they are pretty much everywhere, and i've felt better about leaving my credit card information with one company than to hand it out to every site where i spend an occasional buck.

i am completely clueless as to who else there even is but paypal. help? (yeah, i'll be using the google, but i like to hear of personal experiences.)

I rely on Paypal such that it would be very difficult for me to give them up. I'm writing to them to complain about their treatment of Dreamwidth, however.

I have used Revolution Money Exchange once or twice with reasonable results, but most sites don't take them.

*nod*. yeah, i have my complaint in the typewriter, so to speak.

but now that i've realized how deep they're into everything, i am determined to extract myself for that reason alone. it's bad enough google has its fingers in every pie, but google still tries to adhere to their "don't be evil" motto. paypal and ebay made no such promise, and plenty of crap has come from them already.

we need more than one big online payment processor.
