While paying for a purchase on ideeli.com, the following popped up:
Please note: We have eliminated Paypal as a payment option in favor of our own credit card payment system. We’ve done this to improve our members’ experience on ideeli as Paypal rejects a certain number of credit cards and sometimes delays notifying us of payments. Please tell us if you run into any problems.
And they probably get a better rate with their own merchant account.
ideeli.com is a membership-only site that offers authentic luxury items at up to 90% off.

I actually signed up without intent to buy anything, just report on it for my web page, but some of their items are too nice to resist.
Wish I'd gotten some of those Karl Lagerfeld sunglasses a couple weeks ago.
With a company like Ideeli, where you have to push the "I Want It!" button and then pay for it within five minutes, timely payment confirmations are important so they know how much stock they have left. It amazes me that PayPal seemingly cannot get this right.
