Comment on Ask HN: Experiences with PayPal? Would you recommend or kill it with fire?

Comments

For the last several years I've done a few thousand dollars of sales a month through Paypal, and recently I have also been getting a significant portion of my consulting earnings delivered that way. That resulted in significant spikes in income (I won't tell you what I make in a month consulting, but you can infer it is probably more than $1 ~ $2,000).

In four years, I've had one glitch (which I was able to work around) and two disputed transactions. All issues were addressed with quiet professionalism, as I would expect from e.g. a bank.

I have no major complaints.

Is the above directly through PayPal or via E-junkie? (Or am I asking a non-sensical question because I'm not familiar with the latter service?)

Long story short: they click a button that looks like Paypal on my site, which links to an e-junkie URL, which 301s them to a Paypal URL, where they pay. Paypal then calls an e-junkie URL, which does some magic and calls a URL on my site. Simultaneously with this calling, the user is directed back to my site.
