The only issues I have had with Paypal are the high fees for a transaction.
I do agree with this I did many transactions with PayPal from buying from online shops. And there's no problem that I did experienced from it everything went smoothly. People are just the ones who are making some bad ideas and using this payment processor as a medium of their shady activities with their victims.
Yeah they aren't the ones that has been doing scams with their transactions. They are just a simple payment method where we can simply put and store our dollars that has been sent to us, it's like our dollar wallet. And if we wanted to cash it out using bank transfer they are always been a good service with it. That's why PayPal will never be a scam.
