Still unclear why you started this thread on F-D.I started this thread because the API service is free of charge if you take it in use and put a backlink on your site. This is a security related mailing list as well, the API improves your web site's overal security as well.
No, this is full-disclosure... where people disclose security vulnerabilities in software/hardware/services. What you're doing is called "marketing" your service (free or otherwise) which is not appropriate for this list no matter how you want to spin it. What actually would be more appropriate for this list is explaining to people how to get stuff for free by defrauding paypal. So yeah, you're doing it wrong.
Im quite confident also that our recent discussion of online fraud has revealed many interesting facts how paypal earns every day tens of thousands of dollars by charging innocent merchants for reversal fees although they were victims of online fraud.
And I'm quite confident you have no idea what you're talking about. You're making up half your statistics as you go along (tens of thousands of dollars!). Your whole service is predicated on "facts" which are clearly false and statistics which are frankly laughable. Simply put, the plural of anecdote is not data. I'm not saying that payment fraud with PayPal isn't an issue- as far as I know it may be the biggest problem facing online merchants, but clearly your service does not provide a reasonable solution. -- Aaron Turner http://synfin.net/ Twitter: @synfinatic http://tcpreplay.synfin.net/ - Pcap editing and replay tools for Unix & Windows Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. -- Benjamin Franklin "carpe diem quam minimum credula postero" _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
