I have been using PayPal for over three and a half years to this date, I have been limited two times but nothing else. If you are using PayPal JUST for Ebay alone, I would highly recommend using it, but if you are a direct seller using PayPal for your website maybe for Membership upgrade or something such as that, you might want to avoid using PayPal. Due to the fact that you can not provide proof if you get limited or they want more information about your transactions, because you are selling "services" or such.

I just got hacked. There was an unauthorized transaction for $20 to a company called tornadocard.com. I know this isn't much, but paypal is linked to my checking account which has a lot of my valuable information. I was also on hold for at least 30 minutes with paypal customer service being bounced around to different departments, and they still couldn't give me a straight answer!

I expected more out of their security and the knowledge of their support reps. Chase bank now has a payment center similar to paypal, I'm going to start using that.

Paypal just limited my account again! They had this coming, I sell on ebay and I even have only 100% positive feedback, my customers love me but yet yesterday my account was limited because "A customer complained that they did not receive their item". I called and told them that all of my customers had already left positive feedback, they told me that they would look into it.

I don't get PayPal, I mean they are cool sometimes because it is easy to get paid through them but they give you headaches! This is the third time they are blocking my account for no just reason. The last time, they foolishly charged my bank account twice for an eBay fee that I had already paid. They make too much mistakes for a company that handles people's money.

This is not a review, i know,
This is a warning to all website's owners with paypal "Buy/Pay button"

There is a failure in your website site script and the "exploit" is very simple!

Just google "Bypass Paypal Payments" and you'll see that is true and working.

That allows peoples to dowload your softwares/ebooks without paying!

This concern websites with simple Pay/Buy buttons.
(and required javascript-enabled-browser)

If you have one of this site, change the checkout method! Or get scammed...

(Now you see why i am checking my paypal account every day...)

Please no vote - Spreads the news to peoples who own such a site -

The sites customer service is awesome and the usefulness of this website is priceless but disputes take over 2 weeks! By then most people have to pay bills and how are they suppose to pay them a dispute takes that long. Also this is not paypal's fault but it includes them, since internet fraud is literally everywhere now most websites switch to only way you can pay is through paypal, and to get a certain amount you NEED a verified paypal account, where you have ALL of your credit card info. And bank account linked, and also almost 100% approval of purchases, would that make you nervous? Well this happened to me, "friend" got mad at me and this friend was pretty close to me so he knew my email and a close friend could nearly guess his own friends likely passwords, so he got into my paypal account and bought useless things that added up to 10 thousand dollars, no matter what paypal does, not even they can stop fraud.

There are a lot of mixed feelings when it comes to this website. I am on the fence about them. PROS - 1. The merchant doesn't get your credit card number/information so you won't get a surprise on your next credit card statement. 2. Paypal will look into resolving any issues with non-receipt items or item not as described (I've gotten back full refunds on a lot of items I was duped into buying mainly fraudulent sites.) 3. You can pay from either credit card or bank card. NOW the CONS - 1. FEES! Conversion rates will always be a bit off because that's one of the ways paypal makes money 2. You have to have $150 or more inorder NOT to be charged a withdrawl fee. 3. The process for determining the winner in a dispute can take upto 1 month maybe 2 so that means you'll have to wait so long to get back your money if you're lucky. All in all Paypal is pretty decent compared to some of the other sites out there and if you're smart you can use their site without being charged too much (just read their policies).

PayPal announced recently that it has over 100 million active accounts. It is well-designed and secure. It supports AES-256 bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption. It will also come up green in the URL bar showing the customer that it supports a very high level of encryption.

To confirm the identity of the page, make sure you type "https://www.paypal.com", then click the green bar and confirm it says "PayPal, Inc. Sane Jose, California, US".

PayPal is basically a digital wallet. PayPal believes that customers are giving up traditional payment methods such as cash and checks and turning to a more modern form of payment. In fact, PayPal believes that by 2015 digital currency will be accepted everywhere in the United States.

Contacted paypal to try and get a refund after shoesmallbaba did not send me my shoes. Paypal replied that they were closing out the dispute because the seller had provided proof of delivery. The scam is that when you order shoes from this company and they receive payment from paypal then they mail you a cheap 25 cent Christmas Winnie the Pooh mouse pad instead of your shoes so when the buyer complains to paypal about not receiving their merchandise these crooks whip out the delivery confirmation for the mouse pad and voila there is their proof. How many times has paypal bought this and still enabled them. I am closing my account with them because they obviously do business with fraudalent companies and aren't willing to make it right. Thank you Paypal!
