I can fully understand why people are significantly pissed off with StormPay. It damages my business by proxy because now a lot of the services I use are pulling their heads in. They're setting up their own payment services instead of using services like StormPay, PayPal, eGold and so on.
They're well within their rights to do so, but I'm very cautious about who gets any sort of personal details when it comes to financial data. At the moment, only 3 online companies have my credit card details and through those three, I get by for the most part. One of those being Paypal, which is how I've gotten involved in and paid for most of the autosurf programs I'm using.
StormPay has gotten absolutely nasty. I don't use their service and I'm glad I don't. I went to check their ToS but I cannot see anything there that would make an auto/manual surf program against their ToS. They're just seriously extending their reach beyond their stated terms and if I were the companies that have lost the money, I'd seriously be calling the lawyers about now.
I am not going to sign up with a new escrow service. I use PayPal and as bad as its reputation among some people might be, it allows me to keep my credit card details private but still usable on the web. Its used by most of the places I have ever wanted to buy something from and it allows me to receive money online with minimum of fuss. I know it works, and I trust its security.
I don't trust eGold, I definitely don't trust StormPay. Why on earth would I now trust newer escrow agencies just to continue a business?
So the simple fact of the matter is, I'm going to consider that the money I have placed in to these business that won't use PayPal any longer, because of StormPay's actions, is a write off and no longer an "investment". For those services still alive, I'm just going to continue to compound the funds and see how things go.
Damn you StormPay!
