PayPal needs to learn how to save images for web

4 pointsby marcomassaroover 11 years ago
Logged into my PayPal and it showed me a preview message before my account overview.<p>I was appalled at the image quality:<p>http:&#x2F;&#x2F;bit.ly&#x2F;193IJt1<p>Original image file on PayPal&#x27;s servers:<p>https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.paypalobjects.com&#x2F;webstatic&#x2F;mktg&#x2F;clickthru&#x2F;ct_seller_buyer_988x383.jpg<p>Looks like PayPal should stop saving images in MS paint....

Could it perhaps be dynamic? As in maybe they&#x27;re having high traffic at the moment or being DDOS&#x27;d and so are trying to save bandwidth by shrinking down there images until they get the problem under control?
