Re: PayPal and zero-dollar invoice spam
#3I wonder what the reasoning is that PayPal allows you to 'send' someone $0.00?
I'm not really surprised at how terrible the support via Twitter is. I almost never use chat/email support these days with any large company-because of how useless it has become.

#4Has PayPal just not tried to fix anything or add features other than a CSS refresh in, like, ever?

#5On one hand I hate spammers and their ilk. On the other hand, I have to congratulate them on finding a neat hack around spam filters which is technically not breaking false claimant laws . The simple fix is to disable $0.00 invoices as any actual invoice for services not rendered is fraud.

I've received invoices for $0.00 when receiving promotional items for projects I was a part of. Comes right in the shipping box, and I'm assuming it's an accounting requirement.

Yes, it is. Their inventory changed but they did not gain any revenue from it.

#8Not mentioned in the article, but paypal allows you to send a single invoice to up to 100 different email addresses with a single click.
It also allows a 1-click way to email anyone that "hasn't paid" with an update.

If you're so interested in typing in spam links you might as well search up something like "cheap electronics online" in Google and start clicking around page 10.
