I have nothing bad about PayPal to talk about. They have such a great service, but “Contact us” is freaking me out.</p> <p><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="paypal - chat bot" src="http://blog.10ninox.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/paypal.png" border="0" alt="paypal - chat bot" width="450" height="277" /></p> <p>I just saw Paypal had chat available—great was what I first thought. When I got into it, it was surprisingly fast. Every responses are too fast to be human. Darn, after 2 conversations, I find out that it’s just a bot, but it’s pretty good, too good to be true. I just thought of Terminator kind of thing. Probably it’s closer than you think. Oh no matter how deep I got into technology, but this idea really freaked me out.</p> <p>If I were PayPal, I would pull this off. In case you didn’t have enough people, then don’t have it. I just prefer to talk or chat with real person or wait for replied e-mail from real human or it’s just me.</p> <p>=) I just don’t like it really; you may try talking to <strong>*it*</strong> <a href="https://www.paypal-virtualchat.com/" target="_blank">here</a><br /> <em>ps.
