Thinking about this.... How reputable is PayPal?

Spambouncer considers Paypal spammers ...

(looking in the mainsleaze filter)
========================

# paypal.com
#
# Updated and domains verified 6/25/02
# Last reported spam: 5/14/02
# Other Relevant Info:
# Subscribed all users to newsletter without their consent, reportedly
# is ignoring remove requests as well. :(
#
# 11/08/01 -- Not reportedly any more. They've kept spamming me despite
# repeated, vociferous complaints directed to various addresses in the
# company, to which they have not given the courtesy of a response yet.
#
# 6/25/02 -- PayPal has gone from putting users on mailing lists they
# can't get off of, to outright spamming, or so it appears to me. :(
# I'm no longer trying to avoid "legitimate" email from these clowns;
# people who dislike spam should simply avoid using PayPal.
# Status: Active Spammer

And there's these, apparently some unhappy people:
