Sean Murphy on Identi.ca asked me:

What don’t you like about PayPal?

There are several factors, most stemming from their ubiquity/monopoly in the web payment area that forces me to use them:

• Site full of stupid usability issues; I don’t want to trust my money/details to something so broken,
• Every time I log in there’s another hurdle to jump before I can get my money, move some money, etc.
• Closed world, no competition within the PayPal world; take it or be outside of it,
• Many stories about PayPal withholding money; banks can be abusive too, but I can take my business elsewhere.

That’s about all I can think of for now, or other reasons are variations on the above. My displeasure earlier today was triggered by the first of those points.
