PayPal Boycot

This morning I called X.com, After pressing 2 (#1 was for the elite customers) I waited on hold for 37 minutes. I asked about the Nov. 1 policy change and she confirmed a 12 dollar charge if you are under $100, I asked why she replied "Because we need to" I said well you will lose me as a customer, and she said "Oh well"...and hung up. Anyway on October 25 I will be canceling my account completely, I urge others to follow, not so much because I feel they owe me anything because the service was great till they got a bloated head... Remember the PBS Digital man complimented them on the refferal service and free use! Anyway PayPlace open your doors here I come. Remember Oct 25 (It probably won't phase them at all, but just a light tap on their door can't hurt. __________________ question: I have a paypal account (never could signup for the original x.com account - lack of credit) and haven't noticed any unusual charges. I always keep a balance under $20 (usually $0). Should I be expecting a $12 charge or should I check my bank statements to see if they already charged me? Thanks. __________________ Ya I was wondering the same thing. If I just have a paypal account....that I use for auction payments...are they charging a $12 fee on that too?? If so, they can take my account and shove it right up their ***. ~NiceMann __________________ Alright this brings up an interesting question from me too. I don't see a "balance" on my account, just an "available to spend" or something like that of $502.00. I just assumed that this was an auth on my credit card and I was granted $500 worth of $ to send without another auth or whatever. Does this mean I have $500 in my account? (I would sincerely hope they didn't charge my card like that.) Maggie http://www.dealhunting.com __________________ it was much better before when x.com and paypal were competing __________________ I called them up, and they said that the $12 charge is only for business accounts. The lady that I spoke to was actually very kind. I called to try to cancel the payment to ALEX NGUYEN for stiffin me on that palm Vx. What a meanie. __________________ The thing that says availble to spend is the amount left that you can send a person, that has nothing to due with your balance Quote: Originally posted by MaggieOK Alright this brings up an interesting question from me too.

I'll keep using them for now until they start getting out of hand. Also, like I said before, I keep a very small balance, and won't "verify" my bank accounts for direct withdrawl payments. I always make it use my credit or debit card. Mavi forum
