Yeah it really depends on the individual. Someone might have a negative experience using them, others seems have a good experience using paypal. Personally, I don't have one so I don't think they are scam. Maybe paypal are just too strict in their implementation of its services that's why people are seeing them as scam.

I had paypal and it never failed to do any transaction, i had heard there are many people said that paypal froze their account without any notice, I think there always are reason why paypal did that and paypal is a big company and very trusted to do million dollar of transaction every year, so I dont believe paypal is a scammed

Some people have had a pretty good experience using the escrow service Escrow My Bits, but the chance of them being selective scammers can be rounded up to 100%.

PayPal aren't just strict, they freeze people's accounts with little notice. No financial service should be allowed to withhold their users' own money - the only reason PayPal can get away with it is by regarding it as their money after the user has given it to them.

I don't think that PayPal is a scam. Just because there are cases that caused you discomfort, doesn't mean that they are doing nothing about it. (I'm not here to side with PayPal) It's just that I have used PayPal with no problems at all, and I think it's credible because they have been operating for a long time and they want to maintain it that way.

The opinion varies from person to person. Those who do not have any bad experience with paypal and do not want to change to bitcoins will always favor paypal and will never switch to bitcoins.

If your opinion is stick to Paypal then you making bitcoin here in the forum. Then I think you have not heard about Paypal email scams or direct scams. Don't stuck with the Paypal which consumes higher fees than bitcoin. Bitcoin high potential than paypal and it will be act as payment and payment mode as well.

paypal is a company under USA regulation and saying paypal scam without obvious proof simply reflect the intelligence of the speaker, some people just too dumb to realize this

Its not right if you follow all rules and regulations they will never take your money, Until now, paypal payment system worked without any failures and there were no negative points at service users, Some are accusing paypal to be a scam because they might have lost their money as they have the tendency to freeze the account if they find high amount of activity

this is strange because they freeze the money even for a lower amount, especially with ebay, i had my $20 or so freezed because they were not sure that the item were delivered and they asked me for a feedback, when previously i made tons of transaction on ebay and nothing happen

ebay + paypal is the worst shit ever, i'm starting to use openbazar and get rid of their crappy policy, which only make you in trouble for nothing

All my transactions with paypal were completed, i just lost some money using them because my account werent verified and i couldnt moove the money from it into payza or any other account. But paypal is legit companie if you have been scammed with their policy that protectes the buyer, its another question, but they are in the market and top payment processor using fiat.

Yes, PayPal is a legitimate company. There is no doubt that this is a popular and reliable payment system. I often use the services of this service. I never had a problem with PayPal

paypal is recommended company that allow us to send and receive money and paypal give the proof that they are not a scam. paypal has been make many people satisfied with their service and although the fee is high, there is still many people use paypal to make transactions and its only a few people that give their complain to paypal itself. but all in all, paypal is still a good company.

to me although i never use paypal but still i will like to say that paypal may not be a scam, because paypal is working for such a long time and most of the online shopping mall are accepting paypal for payment, although there service is still not available everywhere but still more people where the facilities of bitcoin are available are using it.

I dont think so.
There have been many errors with their service and I have seen many complaints about it.
It is not perfect. Hell! There is none that is perfect, there will be errors at the system anytime.
They just created a deeper trust with their customers that is why it gets stronger.
This company established it all with their long time of serving people.

I don't say the system is perfect but very confidently can say that they are not a scam and they are the best to buy online things from known persons without any worry. Until now, no other online payment systems has become so much popular. To keep the system safe, they do have some terms which users need to follow. If you follow them, your account will be safe, and you will never face any issues. I'm using them for many years, and they are best for me to buy things online.

Paypal is really not a scam from what I see Paypal is really one of the best choices when it comes to online payments. The only way you can get scammed by using Paypal is through the system, by system it means that the seller or buyer is the one the can trick you from non accomplishment of contract. Paypal only acts as a middleman and is not really responsible for the lost of your money if you got fooled by the seller.

Yes as long as the user is following the rules of paypal then there is no chance for them to be 'scam' by paypal because even though i didn't use paypal, i think they are doing a good progress on their company because there is still a lot of people using it and all of my friends, they didn't encounter any problem. Paypal is a company that serves the people by their online service in terms of doing transaction online and they are not scammers as long as you will follow the rules and not do illegal things.

It is the best and the legitimate transaction support service provider who has clients all over the world. This is the one who made cross border transaction with much ease and cent percent trustworthy programs. If it is a scam this might have got bypassed by several other such services that are existing.

I have had an issue with Paypal and while I was trying to look for a solution on the internet, I came across this website (https://www.consumeraffairs.com/online/paypal_02.html) where everybody is complaining about Paypal. Most of the complains were actually similar to the one that I have. I thought Paypal is a credible company but now I have started feeling worried about my funds stuck in the accounts.

Paypal isn't a scam but it's definitely not the best service to use either.

There are a lot of complaints about paypal limiting accounts, etc.

It's just really inconvenient to use.

Also they probably operate on fractional reserve which is definitely a bad thing. Use bitcoin if you can, because it is safe and easy to use.

Need some spare btc for a new PC

One of the biggest companies of that sort, that half of this world uses is doubted to be a scam? Let's be realistic, they wouldn't be there where they are now if they were scammers. I'm not using them personally tho, because we don't have all features available here but I seriously doubt they're scam.. I mean cmon.. :|

to me i personally have no idea about paypal, because i never use paypal in my life time and the reason can be that bitcoin is totally banned in my country and therefore their service is not available in our country.

I do not know why paypal does not accept access from certain countries. And they do not accept users from that country. Whereas if they are the best online payment method. They should be able to accept users from all countries
