on-ramp - very serious. They are simply a business supplying a service. They will hold money in limbo, automatically deduct from your account, etc. As a buyer, they are pretty safe but I still refuse to use their service - I'd rather send a MO via western union, or a USPS money order via snail mail. As a seller, they could hold onto your money for a LONG time, remove extra funds from whatever account you have associated with them in case of a payment denial, etc. Check the slashdot article linked above.. flip the comment threshold to 4 or 5 though to weed out the chaff.
