How do people use paypal so much? Really, what is the reason? They are f-ing people over constantly. Both with their fees (try to convert currencies as a merchant) and account frezing..
Because PayPal is basically a monopoly and people done have much of a choice, while there are other payments systems, PayPal is without a doubt the most used.

Well paypal hasnt a monopoly but the most people do trust paypla because you can dispute anytime any transaction with the seller or the buyer, the thing is they have a great service as well high fees.
Out of there great service well they are charging reasonable fees but for me, that is not really going to make their service to become used by more people. Maybe they are already got their investment since it was created, I think they should lessen the fees that they are charging when someone is going to have transaction.
If they are already awared that their customers or users are gradually decreasing because of bitcoin then for sure they would intend to lessen their fees soon.
If they would continue to implement high fees then for sure they would make their customers would go to bitcoin.

eBay and paypal are well known for their high fees.
This is also one of the reasons that Prices on eBay are pretty high compared to other online shops, the sellers pay a lot of fees to eBay, and because of that they need to increase their selling price so they can get their desired amount.
Don't use paypal unless you really need to, you can always use bitcoin and convert the funds to real world fiat pretty easy, you don't need to pay PayPal those huge fees.

Maybe this is the reason why they got hacked last night, just like netflix and amazon did too.Disgrunted customers who got ripped off from all the fees that they charged them on their own money.

When bitcoin doesnt exist on previous years before, paypal services is one of the most famous service provider regarding on online transactions which most people before have already experience with it thats why when bitcoin is launched and could they already said about its differences. You cant blame people hence they would definitely use the most famous thing where everybody was using before.

Like a person said already he sold something for 4000 dollars, and the total fees taked from those were 25% soo those websites had stoled those person, but in the end its about trust and people do trust into those two companies, and them take advantages of the reputation they have.
I know PayPal charges very steep fees, but I can't believe they charge someone 25% in fees for a normal transaction.That would be beyond insane as that would equal $1000 in fees regarding that $4000 transaction.
I don't believe PayPal is doing that to its customers. It just doesn't make sense.

Right about that its all about the trust and due to that they can abuse their power over people to ask such ridiculous fee's pretty insane if you are asking me.
These fees are funny, but i think you don't get feels like that anymore, at least i didn't get large ones when i sold some games figures month ago
The fees are absolutely ridiculous, in fact it will make a lot more sense that they charged you for listing your product there since in fact that is the service they are offering the opportunity to list your product on their website.
There are many thread and talks about paypal fees and scam attempts. Here we are discussing about ebay fees as well. If anyone do not like services of paypal and ebay. Just step out from those services and go for the minimum fee services like bitcoin.

This is something that is certainly true. Because paypal is now providing services that are very sensitive so it can interfere with any transactions or activities that occur. So indeed I now and most of the users of the bitcoin waiting places or stores that want to accept bitcoin as payment instruments and certainly gives a very reasonable price

You need to remember. paypal is a company, BTC is a currency system.
Paypal is simply facilitating fiat money transfer.
I run a ebay store and my last invoice was $900AUD, for around $4k gross sales.
I only made around $1000 profit, so, my fees were equal to the same amount of my profit.
Literally half my money.
And i guess that's why a lot of people are needed for changing their perception about comparing the bitcoin with PayPal and change into comparing the bitcoin wallet service with PayPal and that is could be a more reliable thread.Paypal is simply facilitating fiat money transfer.

I do remember some brazilian person which has made an exchange with me some years ago from paypal to payza, where he offered 15 dollars for 10 dollars into his paypal, i got around 13 dollars as im a Euporean citizen, when i made the opost i got scared with the print, those person with the same ammount got a fee of 40% or something like that, i dont remember well. Soo if you do join paypal and amazon your potencial profit will be left into those two companies.
Well that is making them more rich and got more profit because of those high charging and unexpected fees. That is why I don't use paypal anymore and when upon searching something at ebay. It looks interesting but upon knowing their true identity that they are the same as paypal and other payment processor, I didn't tried to visit them anymore.
Well its business and they would definitely get profits from those insane fees thats why some people would tend to switch to other things because of their ridiculous fees. As you mentioned too im not using anymore their service especially when i already knew about bitcoin. Its much more better.
Thats how ebay and paypal really works if you are using their services just expect that your profits on a particular thing or trade out would be left on those companies thats why its really frustrating sometimes because of these high fees. Bitcoin is really better compare to them as you said too.

I hate both these services and that's why I don't use them either. Sometimes I have to use paypal because bitcoin is not accepting in every online store and paypal somewhat is.
But then I see the paypal fees and just get angry at all the money they take.
Yes i also hate paypal high fees and all rediculous reason they give to block accounts, i have find a good solution of using bitcoin debit card in paypal card payment while paying so that it will be paying like in POS with your visa card. I feel safe this way rather than keeping my funds in paypal. But then I see the paypal fees and just get angry at all the money they take.
