This statement leads me to believe that the issue is on Weebly's end. Why would PayPal need to work with Weebly on something that is a PayPal issue? That makes no sense to me whatsoever. Basically, it appears that PayPal knows they are losing money because of this fiasco and they are trying to help dig Weebly out of this hole, which will in turn help Weebly.
Regardless of WHO is at fault, hundreds of thousands of Weebly store owners are paying Weebly for something they cannot properly use. (As of May 2016 it was reported that Weebly hosts over 30 million sites. I realize that only a fraction of them have eCommerce included, which is why I chose to word the statement the way I did. I am choosing to estimate 1/4 of that using the eCommerce, which is 750,000.) Now...multiply that by a minimum of $300 (the cost of a Weebly 'Business' package) by 750,000. That is a whopping $225,000,000!
Meanwhile, back at the ranch... I have noticed that my Business plan was 'magically' upgraded to the new 'Performance' plan. When comparing the plans, I see that only the Performance plan includes the real-time shipping calculations. WHAT?! Are you freaking kidding me?
The few things that the Performance plan includes that the Business plan does not are: ① real time shipping rates,
② abandoned cart emails, ③ gift cards and ④ email marketing. Quite frankly, I have my email marketing set up elsewhere so this is of no use to me. (Even when included, the fact is that I simply don't trust Weebly to be able to handle my email campaigns efficiently at this point.) So basically, I am going to be expected to pay TWICE what I have been paying for numbers 1, 2 & 3?! Hahahaha! That's a good one! WHY on this green earth would I pay twice as much for something that doesn't work properly????
I sincerely hope that those who run e-commerce sites via this platform look at their plans and see what is included before they get used to something that they will need to pay twice as much for!
This is asinine. Plain and simple. And the fact that people end up stumbling across this crap on their own speaks VOLUMES! Typically, a company would email its clients and let them know exactly what has/is changing, especially when they are paying for a service. Nope, not Weebly! They send email after email directing you to read blogs rather than just tell you what on earth is going on. (And half the time the blogs don't include this pertinent information either.)
PS: In case you couldn't tell, my patience is now gone. This is just flat-out pathetic.
