Yeah, but you have to submit a heap of paperwork, which wouldn't necessarily be easy (or hard) to obtain, I know I did.

Nice necro but yeah, STILL paypal blows. The idea is nice, but the security is poor.

I've heard this before, the anti scamming system has been used in the opposite way. This created a lot of frustration and discussion in this other game that I've tried and it resulted in a removal of Paypal as payment method. I dont think it would work better here in Entropia.

But I still feel that the current payment methods are insufficient in many ways and some more options should be enabled or made easier.

So I voted No to this and this is mostly to the fact that the chargebacks are there and that doesnt work very well, atleast not as it was thought to work.

MA has previously stated that PayPal is too expensive. I wonder if this viewpoint will change in light of the PayNova fiasco?

There is a method where one CAN use Paypal to deposit. (its the only method I have ever used)

Add a Paypal Debit card to your Paypal account. The added advantage is the Paypal Debit card gives you 1% Cash Back on purchases and so far all my deposits have qualified for Cash Back.

Good point.

Taking your money back doesnt involve a lot of "paper work" on paypal.

Just send in the automated formuular (choose item not recieved) and usually youll get that money back within 1 or 2 weeks. It was very easy, at least for me and no more "paper work" had to be done.

Thats one reason why I would not like to see paypal in PE.

Sorry to keep this going, but there was a time where Paypal was a deposit method. I can't recall the details but there was a rather large dispute between them and MA and it led to MA telling them to take a hike.
I'll try hitting search here to see if i can find anything, but it was before i joined EF and if memory serves it was before EF existed. I'm sure it was roughly either a year before or after the legal battle with MA and Microsoft.

I am 100% sure MA has already tried to get PayPal supported but PayPal simply does not support any gambling sites. Im sure this is the only reason why PayPal is not accapted in Entropia.
