Has anyone else noticed that PayPal is really starting to push its Premier and
Business Accounts?

Here are some of the upcoming policy changes:

10/09/2000 No more referral bonuses to personal accounts
10/09/2000 New account holders only get $5 signup bonus with $50 bank transfer
10/09/2000 Reduced initial spending limit for new accounts
10/16/2000 $500 credit card receiving limit every 6 months on Personal Accounts

And what we've all been waiting for:

10/31/2000 International support to 26 countries - free - Yeah!

I suppose PayPal is saying that anyone who takes in more than $500 every 6
months should be considered a business.  Ouch.

Have any of you tried any of the competing services?  What are your
impressions?

Transact well,

(...) Considering that credit card transactions cost money this is reasonable. Ask how many stores don't pay fees every time you use a credit card there (this is one reason many merchants have a minimum charge for credit card purchases - though I (...)
