Hi everyone,

    Reluctantly, kicking and screaming all the way, I am considering a
    PayPal account to facilitate putting some of my custom stones on
    Etsy.com; which, by the way, I might never have learned about had it
    not been for the recent flurry of Orchid posts mentioning it. So
    thanks for that, folks! 

    My google search for Paypal brought up also the anti-site,
    "PayPalSucks.com," a compendium of horror stories about
    unresponsiveness and 6-month frozen accounts. Not exactly a
    confidence builder. 

    While the Orchid archives of the past three years did bring up a
    number of PayPal mentions, mostly favorable, many of these were in
    the context of scams and "phishing" and not directly about the
    benefits and drawbacks of PayPal itself. 

    And hence my question to Orchideans who have first hand PayPal
    experience: have you encountered horror scenarios, pitfalls,
    unresponsiveness, or other things to watch out for? Or are your
    experiences positive? Is it one of these services that you sign up
    for reluctantly, because you have to, everyone else is doing it, or
    has it been a positive, responsive and user-friendly experience?
    Overall, is it a good thing or a bad thing? Is there perhaps an
    alternative that works as well or better? 

Cheers & thanks
