On: Paypal Redesigned

[potatolicious]

... and nothing has changed once you login. As a PayPal user I'd rather have my dashboard/account views redesigned rather than an overhaul of a landing page I will never look at for more than half a second...

While I'm in complete agreement; as a PayPal user, I'd rather have my dashboard/account views actually load in a reasonable amount of time... never mind a redesign. I've redesigned client workflows (from shipping through PayPal) and changed credit processors simply because looking up a transaction (or _anything_) is like pulling teeth in PayPal. Even when using their API.

Seriously, doing a transaction search results in a "please wait" message that reads: "This may take up to 30 seconds".

But any time PayPal redesigns the internal pages, every single tutorial on how to actually accomplish something in PayPal becomes useless.

that shouldn't stop a company of that size to take their product to the next level.
