I so wish there was a way to collectively boycott Paypal, or that there was another way to send money online!! They have simply gotten too big, I am sick of all the hoops they make you jump thru, the ridiculous fees they now collect. And NOW they want my social security number. The guidelines for them filing a form with the IRS is you must have BOTH 200 or more transactions and $20,000 in income. I am nowhere NEAR that benchmark, yet I would have to give them my SS# anyway or they will suspend my account! Really?? I understand regulations for people who do a business thru them, but I am NOT a business account holder. Nor are my numbers anywhere NEAR those! Why do I have to risk them having my SS# when I know they will never use it?
