GRRR PayPal

[blueeowyn]

So, like many other entities, Pay Pal has been suggesting for months that you add a mobile number. When I tried to log in last night, I couldn't get in ... they now REQUIRE a mobile number (new since mid-July) and they couldn't be arsed to let their users know it was going to be a requirement until AFTER they implemented it and to make it worse it sounds like (reading the page) it is still voluntary (by adding your number you are agreeing to this, that and the other as well as adding your number increases security blah blah blah. How does this help people who either don't have a mobile phone OR have an emergency use only phone OR have a plan with no Text or Data?

I was able (fortunately) to get in via an invoice I was paying off over time and have finished paying that invoice, sent the money I was trying to send yesterday, and have now removed all my $ info from PayPal. This pretty much sucks because a) I liked the cashback I was getting this quarter, b) I had been planning on selling some models and accepting $ via PayPal (I guess I really should have done that a few months ago), c) it is a good way for me to pay things and not have my credit card everywhere.

When is the world going to realize that not everyone is marching to a given drum and that COMMUNICATION BEFORE CHANGES IS A GOOD IDEA.
