As the experience from the past couple of years has shown, the fact that a company goes public means little and certainly is at best tenuously related to the viability of the business model. It just means that current management wants to get rich quick... PayPal is a good concept, but I also second Pascal's frustration. I have tried twice to register with them and each time the process failed due to their apparent inability to process a non-US Visa card. So my own conclusion is that PayPal is a fine service for people based in the U.S. but they should not represent themselves as providing an international service when in fact they do it only in theory. And no, there was nothing wrong with my card, I followed their procedures exactly, and I have used this same card to buy stuff from US-based merchants many times without any problems. Hence the problem is with PayPal, not with me or my bank.
