The PayPal Story - part 1

I sell some digital download items for extra debt paying off money. I use e-junkie for the delivery. And until recently I was using PayPal. It was a pain and I got chargebacks from fraudulent buyers regularly but that's the way it is. Apparently PayPal has decided that it's too risky/fraud-prone.

Still hating PayPal

My love affair with PayPal is over. I'm looking for alternatives. I sell a couple of digital items online. So, I need something that supports digital download items. And hopefully it is something that is better than PayPal.

I hate PayPal

Don't you hate when one thing becomes the only way to do things? That thing is PayPal for me. You have to use it. But it is like the worst thing ever! Argh! I wish someone would overtake PayPal on the online payment scene.

cash for clunkers?

I've been reading a lot about this Cash for Clunkers program. I even looked into it as I have an SUV and I would love to be able to do my part for the environment. But it seems to me like this program is skewed a bit. It targets the wrong people. For instance, I really want to be able to do my part for the environment but my SUV is not paid off and it is worth more than $4500. But if I wanted to do this program then that is all that I would get. And if you think about it - who has old "clunkers" that they could trade in and have $4500 be a good offer? In my experience, those people are the same people that can't really afford new car payments. In fact, I know someone that took advantage of C4C and this person cannot afford a new car payment.
