Apple, Paypal Talks Over Apple Pay Soured Due to Samsung Deal

Paypal does 1 /6 of all eCommerce transactions. Does anyone do more than that, if so, then I can be corrected.
Just because you do not see a Paypal Logo does not mean they are not executing the transaction. See my other posts. The statistics stand on their own.
We already have NFC payment cards, that cost £0.00 with our bank or credit accounts. Using a bank card is also quicker than fiddling with a damn phone.
It also doesn't show everyone in the world you got a £600 phone. It'll take off a lot faster in the US where NFC and Chip 'n' Pin is still in it's early stages.
Really? So much dramatics.
You'd be all "Apple is great", "Apple is selling its Apple Pay" , "Apple are magical", if this was Apple instead of Samsung. Apple is showing its class right now...
Well Apple's lax security made it easy for someone to change the password to gain access to the account, didn't it? That's why Apple quickly added security measures to prevent it from happening again.
Yea Paypal has absolutely no room to talk here. My paypal has been hacked twice, and I will not under any circumstances give them my bank account info.
So that makes it ok?

I remember an awful lot of Apple defending in that thread.
Whatever. PayPal sucks anyway. I only use them to accept an ebay payment and transfer it to my bank account. I wouldn't use them to make payments out there in the wild.
Because Samsung can supply the functionality they need at the quality level they require for a price that is better than anyone else - all 3 have to happen. Pretty businesslike, actually.
This is why people see Apple as a petulant child. They don't get exclusivity, they kick you out, they cant have their way, they buy a competitor and try to sue you into obliviion.
PayPal has shareholders (today via eBay and tomorrow on their own) they have to hold up to their interests and not Apples. Cry some more about this Apple.
Not a fan of PayPal by any stretch, but get tired of Apples attitude and retaliatory actions like banning tech blogs from access to test devices and access to press announcements IF they reported on the #Bendgate.

Dramatics? If anything I don't go far enough!
I am still highly suspicious of these Tesla elecctric cars because of their founder's early work with PayPal. Time will tell, but right now I'm not won over for that fact alone.
THAT'S how much I hate PayPal. I hope Apple never touches them with a 300 foot pole.
My guess is PayPal was making demands and playing hardball with Apple at the same time they were negotiating a sweetheart deal with Samsung.
Of course, Apple would walk away in this circumstance.

Can't say I'm disappointed in the least...
Only times I actually use my paypal account is when I buy something off eBay or I'm ordering stuff from certain far away countries, but that's only because there's some weird problem with my Visa Electron card whenever I try and ordering from certain east asian countries like Japan (bank says the problem isn't on their end and the store says it's not on their end ether). The really weird part is that the card works just fine when I order from Play Asia, which is based in Hong Kong.

If it's possible for a vendor to take more money out of your PayPal account than what you authorise, it's time to ditch PayPal. It doesn't matter if they got it back for you. That's a massive hole in their system and something that you probably need to be aware of for them to action.
My experience with PayPal is poor. They override credit card security as they provide their own which is far less secure. They would not allow me to close my account until I provided valid identification. I had already given them my drivers license and passport. What a bunch of arrogant, greedy time wasters.
The best advice on here was by the poster who said 'if I see PayPal as the only payment option, I go elsewhere'.
I'm not sure what interpretation of my post makes this reply make sense. It had literally nothing to do with me buying a car or not.
I liked PayPal as a method of payment until I had to use it as an ebay seller. The fees are just ridiculous. I hope they choke on my money. Bloodsuckers.
Along with Samsung, Google, Microsoft, Motorola, HTC, Nokia, LG, WalMart, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, all banks and credit card companies, all cable companies, all insurance companies, etc? Then Apple could fill the void in all those markets too.
