Worst Company in America?

I already agreed with you on this point. And i already pointed out that you're taking that list a BIT too seriously.
 
   
 
 

 It seems that you are the one who is refusing to ackowledge that, despite the misgivings that come from the basic fact that no one is perfect, these companies have done far more good for all of our lives than they have done harm.  I mean if PayPal or eBay have done more harm, then they simply wouldn't exist.

Ohhh, so under this logic than no bad companies exist! Because any company that does bad stuff ceases to exist?  
 
 Thats very "rose colored glasses" of you. and you know what. I like that way of thinking. I try to be positive about most stuff too.  Its really just a damn internet list by a bunch of griping consumers! But then again, i'm a socialist Canadian so i hate capitalism in the first place.

Is that why poor people smell like sour milk? Because they don't have running water to be able to wash?

careful!!!  I never stole anything that was actually for sale at the store.  Promo material that was already displayed then taken down to go "back to the label" was all i ever took.
 
 i admit it was stealing but lets make sure we're clear....this was not cutting into the record store OR the record labels profits (as i never actually sold any of the merch).
 
 and actually, yes, businesses should be held to some higher standards than $7/hr workers. mostly. [/b]

You weren't stealing it...you were "sharing" it.   :roll:

I agree. In October I sold an item on ebay. The buyer paid for it on paypal then picked it up and left positive feedback. 6 months later paypal notifies me that there is a dispute from the buyer who denied ever getting the item and I only had 1 day to get my "proof" to them. I sent the positive feedback and that wasn't good enough since I didn't have good proof of delivery. The next day $520 was missing from my bank account and the buyer got the money back.  When I called paypal (and ebay) they just said they couldn't help. I had to dispute it with my bank and finally got it back from my bank (which took about 2 weeks of not knowing whether I'd be out the money).  So moral of the story, make sure you get a signature or proof of delivery if you're the seller, or if you're the buyer just go ahead and buy that big ticket item then dispute it 6 months from now.

Thank you for the idea; I will.
 
 But seriously, I had a similar incident but nowhere near 6 months time and significantly less money, but still, paypal seemed a bit pedantic in their handling of the entire situation.

i've worked for a few of those companies, and at the moment i work for a fruit flavoured computer company, and it is disgustingly corrupt to the point that my 'fuck you' letter when i leave the company is going to be sent all the way to the top.
 
 oh, and if anyone from work sees this it can be considered grounds for termination.   :roll:
