PayPal versus C2it

What's all the defense of Pay Pal ...somebody got stock? ;)

I haven't had the pleasure or displeasure of using Paypal.
When looking at their terms of use/agreement (or whatever - am paraphrasing) I was disgusted - They cover their asses 9 ways to Sunday! …Can’t say the same for their customers. THIS inequity combined with the MANY poor experiences sighted was enough to convince me that Pay Pal wouldn’t ever be my pal.

While I don't support any bank per se the C2it sounds like it’d be good for competition (at the very least). Regardless of what service we choose poor customer service and exorbitant user fees SUCK!

Please post any experiences you have, should you begin using this service.

Thanks for bringing up this possible alternative.

I probably should have stated in my original post; Yes, I asked for a supervisor; The "potential buyer did likewise;--We both PAID.

Went to c2it at a sellers request--They don't support webtv;couldn't get to secure page.

I might check out the C2it service. I've stopped using paypal on eveything except computer purchases on Agora forum at arstechnica.com. Too many sellers expect the buyer to cover the 2.9% paypal fee for CC. Technically an ethical buyer shouldn't do that (like stores don't pass on the "surcharge" of using credit card, directly (although, some is indirectly reflected in the price). In that case, we shouldn't use paypal and instead find an alternative. The C2it is indeed interesting.

On anything over $1k (usually with most audio) I can just get a money order from my bank (near my office) and FedEx it over night (~$20USD) for the same as a paypal fee. And I probably still come out ahead in terms of protection.
