I have never had any issues with PP and I use both bank accounts and credit cards as funding sources and switch happily depending on what is being purchased. PP has been linked as well with Ebay and the whole process is painless.

And now you are going to tell me CR just works...
Mostly people just bitch about a product, only fanbois want to constantly tell the world how wonderful the product is. As I don't use the service I can only go on anecdotal data which is highly reliable  and almost entirely negative.

Definetely not!
My only experience of attempting to use CR was way back in VB4 days (i think it 4 anyway), and that was shocking experience and never touched it since.

Ouch. Back when CR still used the term database to refer to a single db table. 
CR has come a long way since those dark times, but it's still quite unpleasant.

Wow, how did CR get pulled into a rant about PP? I have used CR for over 15 years, and have learned to beat it into submission.

Everyone has their pet hate, mine is CR. I used it extensively in the 90s, made a living writing reporting apps in various versions of VB using CR.

Never had any problems either; and given the choice between trusting randomSpecialtyProducts.com to have done its payment processing and data storage correctly or PP I'll take PP anyday. If for no other reason, because if paypal gets pwnd at least I'll find out about it...
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Ironically I'm going through an almost identical scenario - finding out a seller won't ship to a PO Box after buying their product... have contacted them to either ship to the PO Box or cancel my order... no contact from them yet.

Besides these idiots unable to send SD Cards to a PO Box, my Optometrist wants stuff ordered online. So Specsavers have decided that Contact Lenses are too big for a PO Box as well.
Now I just have to hope my boy is home on the two different days the prders arrive, or that my Mother In-Law decides to answer the door instead of ignoring it like she always does when home alone.

Because of your on-line expression of a negative opinion of PayPal, you are now on PayPal's Terrorist List.
This list is, of course, available to security forces worldwide, who give it prominent attention because we used the word "Terrorist".
Good luck for your future.
Sincerely,
PayPal

If those alien care for so much for secrecy to hide the ship in a comet, and HAS that technology, why they give us the opportunity to land on?

OK, so I believe it is an alien ship. I believe they are out there and really very smart. Much smarter than us. They may or may not like us. If they did, they sure would have showed up in public.
Now, they are smarter than us and they do not like us; why genius guys at space exploration want to poke them? There are easier ways to commit suicide, right?
Seriously, I think 67P is a comet.

No!
It IS a spaceship, but they are "'avin' a larf". Being so advanced they got to extraordinary lengths to amuse themselves including elaborate set-ups to wind up lesser beings.
They're a bunch of jerks really.
