| Prohibitive address requirements. My building's mailbox at the apartment complex where I live/work is easily & frequently compromised by mischievous kids, so receiving mail here isn't an option. Instead I use a separate P.O. Box for both business and personal mailing addresses. My shipping & receiving is at a local Pack & Ship, except special deliveries which are scheduled at a gated storage unit. Neither of which can be expected to receive mail on my behalf. When I wrote to PayPal after seeing that they disallow the use of P.O. Boxes, I thought of these horror stories we read about with them and basically decided not to go ahead using them before they replied. This decision was reinforced afterward when they eventually did reply, it wasn't clear if they'd even read what I'd written or if it was scanned by a bot. I received what seemed a 'canned' response that was worded such that it was clear they would be 'sticking to their guns/policy' and weren't going to even try to be helpful. So, they won't be connecting to my business account. On the flip side, the one good thing about them is their adoption of the Verisign cellular keychain token, which changes the multi-factor authentication code over the air every minute or so. |
