Is this wrong?? I have had alot of people ask me to send payment as a gift.. I have no problem doing it. But Some people are getting a hard time for doing it.
But I know I spend money on Shipping and packing the cards. And always give a better deal when not using Paypal.. So Im trying to save people money by taking gift payments. Including myself..If I ever do.
To me Paypal offers me no protection. I have had several deals where Paypal was wrong and still went with the wrong end of the deal..
I have money in my Paypal account and they pay me no interest. So what service are they providing me?? That I'm not paying for??
Just like to know that other people think.. Thanks..

QUOTE(bob_TCC @ Sep 8 2009, 08:48 AM) If this is an accurate statement, then what does this say about collectors?  -Bob I dont think it says anything about collectors. It's people in general.. They are hurt for cash or sick of big company's?? Or just don't want to pay?? Like with file sharing.. Most people don't care if some Huge company is losing money.. Just like most huge company's don't care about the consumer..

QUOTE(bob_TCC @ Sep 8 2009, 09:01 AM) So, let me get this right... Companies should just provide their products and services for free, right? -Bob I think what he is saying is that they only care about the money. You pay for something. They get your money, they don't care anymore.. They already have your money. They know you will come back?? Or don't care because your just one person.

QUOTE(bob_TCC @ Sep 8 2009, 10:13 AM) Would you want profitability to be a minimal concern for a company? If it's the company that pays your salary, would you still hope that they aren't worried about collecting the fees associated with their products and/or services? -Bob Bob, i don't think you get what i am saying. I am not saying everything should be free. I don't completely agree with the paypal fees. But you pay for what you get. Currently paypal is the easiest way and safest to pay for online transactions.
I do not trading/sell or buy cards at this time
