Theres so many goddamn annoying things you have to do when setting up an account...
First it asked for the last three numbers which are printed on the back of my card in the signature area, which along with the signature have faded away almost completely. I could only really see the last two, so i had to play a guessing game with the 1st number.
Then I have to go print up a check so i can give them the last few numbers on my personal checking account. I've never needed to a print a check in my entire life before this, and I hope I never have to again :*(
Then you have to get set up for this extended fee thing, and that means you have to wait for your statement to come and get these extra numbers and then input those before you can complete the transaction.
So thats basically three levels of security, each ANNOYING and time consuming, for a purchase that with other sites usually just entails a simple credit card number and expiration date.
Why's paypal such a fucking bitch? All I wanted to get was this hoodie of Nice Pete from the achewood webstore.

I've never had any problems with Paypal. Most sites ask for those three digits, it's not Paypal's fault if the numbers on your card have worn off. I've never had to do the print cheque thing and I don't think you have to set up the extended fee if you don't want to.

You never had to input a section of your checking number? maybe it's some new thing, or maybe it applys to only debit card holders, like myself.
And the extended fee was a requirment, unfortunatly :(

Me too. It's been very convenient, not to mention cheaper and easier arranging international bank transfers. Works for me.

that's funny.. complaining about security..
paypal is a site that essentially stores your creditcard information behind a password. I quite like them to be pissy about security then.

well, i don't send money to zimbabve that often. i only used it once to send money to LA, and it was the most complicated thing i did in my life. i couldn't possibly imagine how hard it must be to do the same thing with zimbabve.

well, it is complicated to me...although i buy lots of stuff on various places over internet, so im not totally dumb when it comes to this.
i had so much trouble i had to open like 5 different accounts to finally make it work...terrible experience. on top of it all, at the time i used it i could select slovenia from their list, so i picked the nearest country from that list which happened to be italy, and surprisingly it worked...ahh, im never going to se it again unless i have no other options.

well thats a different thing its opening account thats hard, but using yr account when u already have it is a piece of cake
and its because slovenia was not in the eu, the same thing with serbia, impossible
but then again, its reasonable, in terms of bankers world whos not in eu, doesnt exist
