NO, they do not and it doesnt matter. You get what you pay for. They
offer NO tech support, No phone support and I keep getting the same
emails telling me that I DID something wrong. Then they agree that my
account is verified and that within 2 days, the money will be
deposited. That was 3 days ago. My bank manager has been closely
watching this and has seen this with Paypal in the past. Everyone is
just very surprise that Google would jeopardize their good name by
pulling slick tricks like this to make a fast buck. In the interim, I
still have a complaint with the BBB and next is with the Attorney
General. Perhaps if we can get a class action law suit going, Google
will take their merchants more seriously.
