We're both correct.

Oh and FShoppe, good on you man!

LifeTalk, you may be interested to know that Carrot have been trying to get a merchant account for some time now and are apparently close to getting approved from a local bank in Hong Kong. Better still, fees are lower than Paypal, so with any luck, in October there will be 'Credit Card Pass Through' instead with reduced top-up/pass-through fees.
Correct, except I'm obviously going to stay far, far away from Carrot. I talked to them and they told me they could not pay me the amount owed to me because it was locked in their Paypal account. You'd think someone reputable would pay me the amount owed regardless of their situation since I'm not responsible for what happened to them. But I can either wait for 6 months (this is worse than Paypal - because in Paypal's terms I would have been locked for a reason, etc; here I'm paying the price for their misfortune) or elect to have all my clients refunded (which is frankly a much larger disaster).

I'll be sure to warn everyone to stay away from Carrot. For a company that prides itself on not being like Paypal, they're far worse in fact.
