Paypal, the Monopoly of the Internet

Hello, I am an Freelance Writer who has been freelance writing over the Internet for about the last six months. I realized I had a talent in this area, and after a couple weeks, my work starting selling. The problem with me selling my articles so fast was that I found had funds all over the Internet. I've needed one website where I could store or have my money sent to. That place turned out to a Web Site by the name of Paypal. Over 90% of all the Internet sellers or buyers uses Paypal web site services for their own financial needs.

I cannot speak for anyone else, however, I can give you my own experience with funancial institution.

Let's Begin at the start. I was given a brand new Dell Pentium computer for my birthday in February. That was when I realized I had a special gift in writing, so I decided to start freelance writer over the Internet. I was doing very well, but I had one problem with getting paid. Most publishers or buyers did not want to send payments electronically to a bank or a credit card. However, they all used Paypal services which left me with the only one choice, I had to open up my own paypal account, in which I did back in February. I had money all over the Internet so I had all my clients send my money to my paypal account.

When you open a new account you still have to wait a 60 days before you can apply for a debit card so that you can have direct access to your money. After the 60 day waiting period was over I immediately applied for the debit card, in which I was told that I will receive in 7 to 10 days. I did receive it and in order to activate it you have to go to their website and give them a pin number and activate your card. For some unknown reason my card would not activate, so I called their customer service number. I was told by one of the agents that they inadvertently sent me the wrong card and that was the reason the card would not respond to the activation.
