ebay still accepts paypal. Paypal is hard to use now a days that is so hard and strict on their policy who sends you money and even you sends to someone, they have so many questions. Why not just let them in and let them out simple as that like coinbase and other online wallet its jusk like to many drama when you use paypal argh.... Angry

Let's be honest, there is a small repulsion from the btc community towards ~~btc~~ paypal because of the refunds,... But, let's be honest a second time, Paypal is just an easy way to pay with online. But I'm having trouble finding some decent markets/sites/services that still accepts paypal.

So yea, my question: where do you guys still use paypal nowadays?

Paypal is just easy to pay with and so many stores accept them which makes it more usefull. Bitcoin still has just a couple of stores that let you pay with Bitcoins but there are coming more and more.

Ebay is the only way I shop with paypal, but there is also a gaming site that I use that pays me in US dollars via paypal. I also fund that account via paypal. That is a way to transfer US dollars pretty easily.

Paypal, eBay are ecosystem of their own. Not possible to dislodge them.

The wildcard here is Amazon with its own payment system that never really got popular.

If Bitcoin community could sway Amazon to accept Bitcoins, then that will be a game changer.

I prefer PayPal for international transactions where there is no other option available for transfer in certain stores which has got tie-up with PayPal as its payment gateway.

I only use Paypal when occasionally buying something from ebay , since I live in a developed EU country I use it often as it saves me time. Still Paypal fees are enormous when compared with bitcoin and I don't like Paypal very much, but is because of its widespread I am using it when buying something online. Unfortunately very few websites like ebay accept bitcoin as a payment method but I am hoping in the future bitcoin becomes more widespread than Paypal.

I partly disagree. The repulsion is not because of the refunds alone. It's also because of paypal's tendency to freeze funds arbitrarily out of constructed AML-concerns. Paypal is an obedient slave to government and spies on its costumers in the worst possible way.

Also the fees are quite high, so transacting via wire transfer or physical cash is often a cheaper alternative.

I really hope that Bitcoin will put an end to the paypal mania. Yes, I'm a passionate paypal hater... Cheesy

May I ask a counter question? where do you find PayPal not being accepted? In fact I have to search where can I spend my bitcoin because PayPal is so widespread

I'm using PayPal for donations only. For buying gift cards I use BTC, on egiftcards24.com for example.

I prefer to pay with my Pay Pal account for online stuff than to reveal my debit card details to the websites as with PayPal I am just giving the merchants an email account and my data is safe. Fortunately my country is in a good standing with PayPal so I haven't had any problems since I opened my first account with them more than 10 years ago. Even though I am doing a great share of my online shopping with Bitcoin PayPal is more convenient than debit cards where Bitcoin isn't accepted.

before bitcoin is famous i purchase things online using paypal, but for now i only used paypal in e-bay and amazon, eventhough in amazon we actually used paypal to purchase the gift card first and then used it, but for me paypal its not too convenient anymore

I agree. Paypal is mostly used for websites that still isn't accepting bitcoin as payment. Amazon, ebay, etc still isn't accepting one. So Paypal is still used for that purpose.

If Bitcoin got used universally for every websites in the world and even real life, then paypal will be bankrupt really fast since bitcoin is much better than paypal (especially the fees)

I'm sure in just a few more months/years, almost every updated site would adopt bitcoins as a form of payment.
The only problem with bitcoins is that the value of each coin changes almost every few minutes. Well, it'll only be a problem if the price of an item is fixed on USD or EUR.

I send a 5dollar payment to a friend of mine (but with goods, as it was a real trade) , and he got 4.5... 10% fee, really??

Yes this have also happened to me in past several times. They are getting richer and richer daily with 10%+ fees and also minimum fee system they have.

Yeah paypal have got a lot greedier, I ended up closing my ebay shop after they raised all the fees (on both ebay and paypal).

For now I'm looking forward to services like Open Bazaar and Bitsquare getting more recognition.

So many people buy stuff with Paypal these days. Paypal is just easy to work with and easy to get. With Paypal you can pay at almost every online webshops that exists today. Even if it is in a another country you can still pay with Paypal.

yeah all Internet users as possible who follow online business or want to shop online. The first selection is certainly paypal as a payment method.
every site that I saw certainly accept paypal as payment. was reasonable because they have a system of protection and very nice. either for the buyer or the seller
