PayPal's redesigned their UI two or three times in the past decade or so. None of those redesigns have made it to business accounts yet. I still log in and see the same site I did in the early 2000s. I really, really understand that their business is enormously complex, operating in hundreds of different markets, but... you'd think some of the improvements would trickle down eventually . It's a real challenge for the…

My biggest pain: It is 2016 but we still have to log into PayPal to cancel subscriptions manually when someone requests to downgrade their account. API does not support it because our subscription numbers start with "S-" which seems to happen with old PayPal accounts.
Mechanize and PhantomJS can be really helpful to script things that aren't covered by a public API.

I have no beef with their chargeback handling myself. It's something more ridiculous actually. Those 5 "open cases" are cases I opened against a hosting…
Have you ever worked that has technology lasting more than ten years? There is probably a backlog of 1,000 bugs that all of the developers would love to fix, but they're nasty edge cases in legacy code and would require a major refactor and we have plans on building a full replacement, but product has this new initiative first and...
I wonder if the complaints we see on this thread mean the honeymoon between PayPal and node.js is over.

PayPal won a lot of praise a couple of years ago for rewriting their code in Node.js and the phenomenal productivity improvements that supposedly brought. I wonder if the complaints we see on this thread mean the honeymoon between PayPal and node.js is over.
> Hill Ferguson, a top executive and officer who was SVP of PayPal’s consumer business, has stepped down, he announced in a post on Facebook earlier today. Bill Ready, who was Ferguson’s counterpart for the merchant side of PayPal’s ecosystem, is gaining more control and will now run product and engineering for the entire company, a spokesman said in a statement.
