PayPal Dedication Can Leave Your Business Exposed!

To many web users, PayPal is not the kind of pal they had envisioned when starting their online business. Long on track history but overwhelmingly unpopular among merchants and buyers one is left to wonder why PayPal has continued to grow. Ignorance and lack of knowledge has a lot to do with PayPal's growth. Many merchants are not aware of the potential problems they can encounter depending solely on PayPal for their online payment processing. That is, until they encounter potential customers that won't use PayPal to purchase their products or services. Or worse, they have their PayPal merchant account suspended and funds frozen without notice, effectively shutting down their business. If you really want to get some idea as to the depth of PayPal's unpopularity, you need only to do a search on Google. Type in "PayPal Complaints" and click enter and see what happens. Over 335,000 results and still counting. No other online merchant processor comes close to having this many dissatisfied customers. 'Phishing' is another reason many customers and potential customers are steering clear of PayPal. Not that PayPal is doing the 'Phishing', but they are certainly not making a big enough effort to stop it. And why should they? They are not 'Phishing' and they are not losing money. Only the customer is. Virtually 100% of online 'Phishing' associated with merchant accounts is done using the PayPal name. And even seasoned web users are being scammed by this technique.
