<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hi all,<br><br></div><div>I successfully created a Stripe account and added our business
information and linked the bank account. Contrary to PayPal they also
understand that Euro accounts do exist in Switzerland. All was easy and
straight forward. They also knew about Swiss business setups (CHE-numbers), IBAN/SWIFT and peoples IDs (AHV-Nr) they could immediately verify. Looks more
professional than PayPal, so far. PayPal - until just recently didn't even accept IBAN account numbers for linking bank accounts. IBAN has been introduced in Europe many years ago.<br><br></div>Now the next step is to

Hi QGIS PSC,<br>
<br>
This is to let you know that our PayPal account is still blocked.<br>
<br>
PayPal is the worst company on this planet - I can tell you.<br>
<br>
They don't respond to e-mails, they send you the same standard e-mails<br>
again and again, without reading at all what you respond to them.<br>
<br>
They tell you to upload documents you already sent them and you are<br>
not able to upload them again, because the document upload button says<br>
document already uploaded, pending review.<br>
<br>
I had five phone calls with them until I was able to upload all<br>
necessary documents. When you have someone on the phone after many<br>
minutes of waiting in the line, you have to tell the same story again<br>
and again, because there is a different person each time you call<br>
them.<br>
<br>
After this issue is solved and money withdrawn, I will definitely<br>
close the PayPal account for good and move everything to Stripe. I do<br>
hope that Stripe has better customer support and less payment and<br>
transfer and conversion fees. Over all PayPal earned many thousand<br>
Euros from <a href="http://QGIS.ORG" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">QGIS.ORG</a> [1] - despite their lousy support.<br>
<br>
The worst thing is that PayPal does not understand that there are<br>
organizations besides for profit companies and that things work a bit<br>
different for such organizations.<br>
<br>
Sorry about my rant. This is to let you know that I am working on it,<br>
but I am soon loosing my patience ...<br>
