So quite a lot of people use Amazon Payments when they check out in my shop, but even though it might hurt my sales, I've decided to stop using AP. They have this ridiculous policy where they hold all the money you make for 14 days, and they say it is because they want to guarantee that the customer is satisfied, but I know it's just so they can hold on to YOUR fucking money and make interest from it. That's not cool. Their fees and policies are bad for micro-businesses like mine. Apparently anyone who uses AP has to have what they call a "reserve" amount in the account. It's F*king ridiculous. Paypal works just fine and doesn't hold on to YOUR money for 14 freaking days or forever. I make virtually nothing in my shop, a giant corporation like Amazon.com doesn't deserve a cut of the money I EARN. Customer retention is important to me and my business. I'm not going to cheat my customers. I had a 14 dollar sale 2 weeks ago and that money has been sitting in my AP account this entire time, inaccessible to me. F* that. I'm closing my account as soon as I get my money.
