I used to have a paypal account until mid-2014. I used to do freelancing, and the wages were normally credited to my Paypal account. However, now I am having a full-time job and don't have any spare time to do freelancing. I haven't logged in to my Paypal account for more than 2 years now, and I think they might have deactivated my account long back.
According to Paypal support: Your PayPal account only becomes inactive if you have not logged in for over a year.
But I am sure if that is the case anymore. Because I haven't logged to my PayPal for more than a year and then when I finally checked it - account was still operational.

It doesn't matter really... I tried to login to my Paypal account, and just realized that I had forgot the password.  Grin

And to recover that password, I need to login to my yahoo email account. And here is the irony... I forgot that password as well.

Now you are not going to believe the next part. I had added my phone number as a recovery option. But that phone number is inactive right now.  Grin

Anyway, I don't care. I don't think that I need that account anymore.

Yes I do have my paypal account even though I already have bitcoin. Because I have some freelance job that pays me through paypal.

And once I get paid, what I am doing is that converting that with the use of virwox so even though I have bitcoin. Paypal is still helpful to me because there are some employers doesn't know bitcoin.

And I am going to keep on working for both of it and going to still accept money in paypal.

I used to have both too. But since I engaged in bitcoin, I think Paypal use to me has slowly faded away. Now, I do not have any money in paypal anymore. All my part time income is now in bitcoin and it works well to me.

Yes before knowing bitcoin, I was active user of Paypal but after getting into bitcon I don't think there is any point in using Paypal, as bitcoin is taking best care of us with minimum fees.

This may differ from an individual. If you were using paypal for online transactions only that is now capable of just using with bitcoin, then it is all good. However, if bitcoin is not still supported and only paypal is, then there is no reason to just eradicate paypal. It is still better to use them both accordingly.

Agree. Not all online store accepts bitcoin as payment method but almost of the online shop accept paypal as payment that is the really advantage of paypal but the bitcoin is it has a fast transaction and low transaction fees on it.

I don't bother creating paypal account anymore because I already have bitcoin that I can use to transact and can even use this as my investment. Paypal require me to verify my account and I do not like that.

I buy more with Paypal than with Bitcoin. As a buyer it is more secure. As a seller Bitcoin is better because transactions cannot be reversed.

This is true, I also do this because its just so safe and you cannot make a wrong payment, with the bitcoin this is already done easily.
I think that paypal right now has a step a head on the bitcoin but most likely this will chance in the future, you already got escrow so..

Yes i have a paypal account and used it more vs bitcoin up to now but paypal has been around longer + fiat has been around longer.  I like to trade in a variety of different ways i dont know why paypal cant just have bitcoin and fiat system to buy things.

Yes I'm having a paypal account because I also love paypal, its an easy payment method and its also fast.
The fact is that with paypal you can get your money back and with the bitcoin this is not the fact at all..
I also love PayPal for the charge back system but for seller its a killer system, the bitcoin is good for trusted payments and its also safe controlled by yourself.
I think that having them both is not a bad thing and that its okay, they both have there positive and negative sides.

Yes, I still have a Paypal account. I used to get paid in Paypal before I have been introduced to Bitcoin and still has some money in it so I still have it. Some services doesn't accept Bitcoin but accepts Paypal. It's one of the advantages of Paypal over Bitcoin. You can always exchange your Bitcoin into Paypal, though, in the currency exchange board.

Yes. That's because i had no idea about bitcoin when i made a paypal account. They are different in many ways anyway. I use paypal mainly for ebay and nothing else. If i will be able to use bitcoin on ebay, then paypal is over for me. That's because it will never happen. Ebay won't let it to happen.

Yes, I have both Paypal and Bitcoin, and also some other online payment processors.
Why?
Well, in many online programs, where I'm member, I can't use Bitcoin to pay for registration or membership fee.
Still a lot more online programs, businesses and merchants accept Paypal than bitcoin.
It's reality guys and it's nothing I can do about it.

The revolution will be monetized!
I have not used it since bitcoin, but I do have an account. Whenever they send me a spam email I ask if they have included bitcoin yet.   Wink

I do not have a paypal account because I am not a online shopper if I want something I would rather go to a a store and see with my eyes what I am getting.
But I do make use of Bitcoin.
