That is a supremely large fanbase to be tangling with there.

That link isn't working. It's coming up with a Page Not Found message.

There is also this update: http://behindthesofa.mysh...846392-paypal-resolution
Seriously. It shouldn't take internet outcries for a company to do the right thing.

The local animé con uses Paypal.
It's a common joke among the committe. "Hurry, bank the pre-reg money before PayPal steals it"
I don't pre-reg. I don't use Paypal. I use a more trustworthy banking insitution. Anglo Irish Bank.

Yeah, I made the decision I can never, ever, ever use PayPal, just because of this sort of stuff.
If things are bad enough their model requires them to do this sort of thing, they either need to rethink it, or maybe, just maybe, they shouldn't have gotten into the business to begin with.
It's literally only a matter of time, from what I can see, before they screw over a LARGE charity, and invite the scrutiny that they so richly need. "Oh, hi, we've taken a good, long look... you're a banking institution, here's the book of regulations you need to now follow." *sound of desk shattering as a large tome is dropped onto it*

I refuse to use PayPal for any reason. Use a real bank and I'll take a look. Use "I want to pretend to be a bank to users but not be under the regulations of one" PayPal and I'll never pay. That's actually stopped me from contributing here, as I have done in the past, as Yuku uses PayPal.
