Tried /reddit, /cocacola, and my first name - all taken. Got /sjg, my initials, but now I want to go back and get /rocketships, since that's my domain. Damn! They only let you have one!

#33Deja vu?
For those of us who have been around a while, we might remember this as being PayPal's original purpose in life. I remember paying back friends for lunch using PayPal and feeling like we were living in the future.
Only later did PayPal move into the merchant space more seriously. Maybe my memory is poor and they launched with merchants at the same time but it took a few years for me to ever purchase anything with PayPal, it was all between consumers before.
So ya, welcome back PayPal?

Re: PayPal.Me
#35Sorry about that...PayPal.Me isn't available in your country.
From the FAQ:
> Is PayPal.Me available in my country?
> We’re adding new regions as fast as we can. Check back often to see if it’s available in your country.
That's just seriously bad. "Check back often" -- they won't even provide a list of currently-available countries, let alone a simple "leave your email for updates" box.

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
> If I browse too many pages, the query string gets so long my requests fail Jesus. Is that really true?
It happens with cookies as well. It's especially bad on the developer sandbox. If you ever have trouble using the sandbox it's either because your cookie is too big or it's broken for the 11th time this week.
Please do this, sorting out the sandbox cookies problems should be at the top of their priority..

They need a more complete word list. They specifically disallowed "paypal" and "bitch", while allowing "official", "pay", etc.
Re: PayPal.Me
#39I attempted to sign up with a 50 character 1Password-generated password, and was told that passwords cannot be longer than 20 characters. I can't see any reason for this other than that they're storing them either encrypted or in cleartext. Use with caution.
Or they just have length bounds on every string input that they have (as they should) but the person in charge of deciding the bound for the passwords did a bad job and picked too low of a limit.

That's stupid, how can this kind of thing not be "available" in a country? It's totally isolated from the service
