I still have a Paypal account and I don't see myself closing it unless Bitcoin is accepted everywhere Paypal is accepted.
Paypal definitely has a leg up on Bitcoin since it's accepted by way more merchants than Bitcoin is. And I don't think this will change soon.

yes I do have a paypal account, even tho I have ever barely used it. I got it just to recieve some payments, nothing big, and also to pay in some places where it would be too annoying to use a transaction or a credit card.
Wait, I actually used it a lot, I remember I have bought a lot of times on ebay, which means I used Paypal every time.

Yep! I used Paypal mainly for online purchases, like when i ordered a case and screen protector for my phone. Paypal is easy to use when buying things on the internet but the withdrawal and some processes take too long as they require strict security for their users , well i can't be angry with that. Paypal also have buyer protection in which people can do refund if their purchased items are in a not good condition. In total, there is also a pros and cons when using paypal , vice versa with bitcoin.
Agree with you. Since there are limited site for online purchases using bitcoin, I'm also using paypal in ordering some stuffs. As of now I find it easier to buy online using paypal but I would love to use bitcoin too in my future purchases. On the other hand, what I love in bitcoin is that it's more convenient in terms of withdrawal, just like what you've noticed. 
After see this topic paypal or bitcoin?, i'm curious who have paypal account these days.

ofc that i have a paypal account, why i would not have it? for just one simply reason, for me is still util, i mean that i can use it on many many merchants, thats exactly what bitcoin does not have ( well at least one of them ) but do not doubt that things will change soon, and if you give me the opportunity, i would use bitcoin instead paypal.

I have a paypal account and still use it for convenience with some online purchases. I haven't bought anything with bitcoin yet, in part because I view it as an investment, and part because I don't want to deal with the tax aspect yet. I just have been buying and stacking bitcoins, and occasionally trading a small amount for a few alts.
how dare you worrying about tax aspect when you use bitcoin which is taxfree rather than paypal ,paypal do get you taxed a ton by using their service,such a silly comparation
I'm reading through the thread and I see a lot of people saying that they haven't used their PayPal in ages. I would be curious to know what you guys use instead for online purchases and to receive money. Do you use your credit/debit cards directly or some other payment gateway? Personally I can't imagine not using my PayPal, buying and selling would be a whole lot less efficient without it.
Yes I have both, simply because of geographical locations,
The only way I can use my bitcoins in local stores is by converting them to PayPal
So I happen to want both coz I use them concurrently.

yeah, I still have my paypal account. I don't like it though.
unfortunately we are not at the mass adoption stage yet and there are still many places and services that don't use bitcoin yet. so we are all forced to use alternative ways for sending or receiving payments from those services.
but as I have said in the other linked topic, I don't like paypal at all, and I would prefer bitcoin over it any day without a hesitation.
i used to have paypal before but after reading paypal's policy against btc i dont use paypal for exchanging bitcoins but use it sometime to buy goods.
The question is , the dollar amount of transaction by Paypal and Bitcoin, which one is greater. For me, paypal is greater.
i am sure if i think real hard or look around i can find my old paypal account and i might even have some money there too, but i stopped using them a long time ago even before i started using bitcoin.

i have paypal account but never use it, the verification ID make me not interesting to use it. i know paypal before bitcoin but im never use it, i choose payeer the less id verification make me comfortable.
I am using both PayPal and Bitcoin. I need PayPal to pay at places that don't yet accept Bitcoin and when I would like to at least keep my debit card info safe by not inputting it directly on checkout at dubious sites. I do have to admit though that PayPal is great for purchasing things but not for selling as there are dishonest buyers who can take advantage of the PayPal dispute system. I just keep enough money on my PayPal account for my daily shopping and that's it.
i never liked paypal to begin with. and about two years ago when i was introduced to bitcoin i started to stop using paypal little by little and now i almost never use it anymore.
I made a paypal account before when i was doing ptc but i didnt verified it. And I dont think I will use paypal since theres a bitcoin right now.
I still have my paypal account incase I need one. I use to receive thousands of USD on my account monthly and then send some to few of my team and withdraw. If it weren't because of the huge transaction fee i wouldn't be looking for alternative. Bought bitcoin thru my paypal back then.

Paypal is like cellphone and identity. You do not want them, but society and government forces you to have one.Do you still have paypal account even though you have bitcoin?
Try to resist any of them and you will understand what I am talking about.
EDIT:
I voted "Yes".
I do. Still use paypal all the time.
I prefer bitcoin, but unfortunately paypal still better in some aspects.
For example, paypal is accepted at almost every online store and bitcoin isn't.
But, when buying foreign produts i always use bitcoin. way cheaper thanks to my country taxes and customs.
