It wants my phone number with a 'country code', but the first box only has room for three digits. huh? It's little list says Canada's country code is 1.

Apparently, there TOS gives them the right, under certain conditions, like if your paid off with a stolen credit card, to grab all your money. go here: http://paypalsucks.org/

going with EBgames.com. Speak now, or I'll sue you if I don't get the game.

Just kidding.

Ahh, I see. Luckily my old credit card there runs out very soon, and I havn't bothered to update yet. Looks like I'd better not.

I have bought games from EB stores, but never off of line. Like with anything buyer beware.

Most banks now offer an account that you can set up for specifically this purpose. You simply put X amount of $ in it and whenever it is accessed illegally, as if, your not going to loose your lifes savings.

My mother was ripped off through Pay Pal for $1,020 dollars Last year and is still fighting to get her money back. They "froze" her account because some arse hole back east said he did not get his merchandise, (Yet he signed for it and USPS did deliver it to the Post Office where he HAD TO SHOW I.D. to get it.)

PayPal also hires some of the lowest forms of life imaginable to "work" there. These low life SOB's are often only there to run a scam and get out. PayPal often "quitely terminates" these people to avoid bad publicity.

Think of PayPal as being run by the Mob. Remember how the Mob once controlled the Unions and how much money they made? Well the same thing here, the same kind of cut throat ruthless people run PayPal.

Everyday I keep my PayPal account open is a day that I worry. I have hope that I will not be scammed, but having an account with PayPal is like gambling in LasVegas. The house ALWAYS wins.

why keep it open?

For donating to PBW. Of course under PayPals SOP, once I give PBW more than one donation, I am "red flagged" and my account can be seized.
