Topic: Is Paypal a scam? - page 18. (Read 50531 times)
Paypal isnt scam but for me it is really shitty payment processor which gives you so many problems and they are fixnig it so slow or they even not fix it.
I don't like Paypal , after you receive 1,800usd in your account , it will be limited and you must to provide a photo from real card identity + some other stuff about you , like invoice of power electricity , to confirm your identity and your location .
to me i think there is nothing wrong with paypal, the only problem is paypal is not present in all over the world as it is regional and their service is not available in all over the world. while bitcoin is present through out the world. 
I dont think Paypal is a scam, its just that it has a high charges to users. And, many people already used this Paypal globally. Maybe people think its a scam because they find it difficulty to used the service.
YOu're wrong. paypal is the easiest way for the scammer to scam another person through his charge back feature. that's why a lot of people are calling it a scam.

What you are experiencing right now is just a normal verification method used by any profit related sites for security purposes and compliance to the AML and KYL. But that doesnt mean that paypal is trouble free because of the very strict system that if somebody reported you without any evidence the paypal will automatically blocks your account and with their poor support system you cannot retrieve your fund back.

Really? Maybe it is just for security purposes because your having big amount on transaction and they might get in trouble on that like in banking The bank ask the client what is their source of income so they can estimate on how much money can you produce, so in paypal maybe that is their way too.
It is a security process IMO. In our country whatever Payment we receive, we have to inform them from where I am getting that amount. And if the amount is big, they will ask for proof. I didn't that big amount of $1800 till now at a time, so no experience.

I would also recommend that you stay away from Paypal like all the other people on that website is saying. Paypal freezes your funds for 180 days for unknown reasons. You could always exchange your Paypal funds into Bitcoin funds in the Currency exchange board. So, if you don't want somebody disputing their payments to you, or getting your account frozen for 6 months, then go ahead and convert all your Paypal funds into Bitcoin.
i have experienced this thing too,my transaction of worth 500$ got freezed due to some reasons.I think it is some sort of system error and some problems about sending the money through a email.All transaction in paypal maybe disputed but there is a way to avoid it.

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.

I'm sure it's not scammers
I agree to you, it is not scammer, I used that before and it works fine and good, it is just that we have now bitcoin that we use fastly and more securely.
Apart from this, Bitcoin is better than Paypal in term of service, but PayPal is a not a scam for surety.

I mean they just cannot make the payment irreversible because it will give scammers a easy way to scam out. But at the same time that security is being breached too easily by some wrong doers and they are just making that reversible system a advantage to themselves in scamming.

I dont know about others. But with my 10+ years of experience with PayPal I will say that PayPal never actually scam people. Its the people who dont go by the policies/terms/legality/commitment while using PayPal. And thus when there is some sort of issues, then PayPal does the arbitration & whoever provides the proof and which is admissible, PayPal takes care of the decision. I am not taking their side. This is what my experience says.
yes that is right to say, i also do not think that paypal ever scam people, although its service is not available in my country, but still i know some people as they are my friends and the are using paypal for a long long time and i think they are happy with it, to me i personally using bitcoin as its service is available everywhere in the world. and is more reliable and trusted than any other payment system.
