RANT of the Day

So other forums I have used have had a dedicated thread for various rants and excessive use of profanity. I searched, and we do not have one. So I am starting this.



I ****ING HATE PAYPAL!







So here is the story. I have a DiscoverCard with this awesome feature, where if you use the card for consumer electronics -- it doubles the warranty. Awesome, huh? So when I purchase consumer electronics -- I only use the card, and will not buy it before I use a different card.



Discover only exists in the United States and does not exist in Europe. I live in Germany. ****ing paypal will not let me use my American PayPal account to ship to a German address "for my security."







The seller will not ship to an address not in PayPal for fear of getting a charge-back, which I understand. Poor people using the Internet to scam people on the internet ruined it for everyone. So I contact paypal, at international direct dial rates ...



for them to tell me I have to open a German account to be able to ship to Germany. Lady on the phone wants me to GTFoff the phone (because she knew what was coming), but I keep her on there as I go through the signup process and then I tried to add my American credit card.



The problem is I cannot because the billing address is in the USSA. So now I ask her how can I add an American CC onto a German PayPal account -- to which she tells me you cannot and I have to use a German creditcard. I tell her I want to use this card, to which she tells me (she's pretty annoyed at this point) she cannot do anything for me and hangs up.



So, I have 1 of 3 choices at this point in time;



1) Pay with another form and forgo a free 2 year warranty (4 years in total)

2) Pay with my American PayPal and have the unit shipped to the USSA first, and then another $50-$80 later have it shipped onto Germany -- at my expense.

3) Not buy it.



So dearest PayPal -- you ****ing suck. I have had this account since 2005, and the eBay account attached to it dating back to 2003. I am not a nigerean scammer, I am not here to screw anyone over -- but for people who live abroad with American financials, you really really suck.

Still deciding what I should do.
