Ev is getting raped by PayPal, who won't pony up his goddamned money.
Not only is this a ridiculous pain in the ass that will keep our money frozen for several more days (it being Friday afternoon with a holiday on Monday), I can't imagine what good it does. I understand they need to be sticklers about security. But I have a hard time believing this is about security. If it is about security, it's totally ineffectual anyway. Like we faked all of the above, but we can't fake a letter from the bank. Perhaps it's just about incompetence. Perhaps it's something more sinister to hold on to money longer to make money on the float (even though they lose it with the costomer support costs). Whatever it is about for them, for me it's about the fact that they are holding hostage what, to my tiny company, is a boatload of our money (climbing daily), and treating us like shit, not only after we've paid them several thousand dollars in fees over the last couple years (on the way to being a hell of a lot more this year), but also been a significant promoter of their service (even getting them press on more than one occasion) and driving a significant number of accounts.
