Just set one up yourself? Get your parents CC or a debit card or if you've got time hook up your bank account

That's far from the truth, PayPal is terrible for businesses, but if you just wanna buy one thing set it up hook your shit up and then unhook it. Quick and painless

Bullshit..
Every eBay user MUST use PayPal..
PowerSellers selling 100 items a day? How can PayPal be shit if it's working perfectly for them??

Note to Annahinh:
You can bank fund PayPal yo.

PayPal is an eBay company so obviously it is in their best interest to keep their customers happy, if you're not selling or buying through eBay well then you're screwed (obviously what I am talking about seeing as anna never mentioned ebay). Lots of horror stories where people have lost $1000's just because PayPal froze their account (I've lost some cash due to frozen accounts albeit not in the $1000's)

They don't just 'freeze' accounts?..
You were obviously doing something wrong.. illegal?

Who says they don't just freeze accounts? They froze my account to confirm that I wasn't doing anything illegal (most of my sales were just under "Gifts") which ended up having ~$100 frozen for 2 months.
