Amazon Payments, please kiss my ass.

Dear Amazon Payments,

I signed up for this service to give my customers more options.  I deeply regret that decision. 

I have an art micro-business that brings in tiny amounts of money and only every once in a while.  If my customer buys something for $9.00 I can't withdraw the money unless I purchase an Amazon Gift Card with it.  When a customer buys something over $10.00 Amazon Payments holds my money for weeks, despite the fact that they already take a cut of the sale itself.

Maybe this service works for larger businesses, but for my small home business, it's an outrageous nightmare.  The obvious greed and underhandedness of these policies has aggravated me to no end, and I would like to close my Amazon Payments account immediately.  I have already removed the option from my shop, and I will be making my grievances known publicly.

Thank you for your time, motherfuckers.
