Topic: Is Paypal a scam? - page 26. (Read 50580 times)
One just have to order and pay at the front of the hotel and a room used air ticket via paypal. I generally do not even worried that something will not work. All I paid and was even happy with the lack of problems. So it is not possible for me to say something bad against paypal.
Paypal is not a scam. Sometimes they frozen users accounts, because of suspicious payments. It can irritate, when you thinr that they have no reason to do this, but it is for our safety. Bad guys also want to use Paypal, so company that think about its reputation should prevent illegal activities.
In some cases account funds get put on hold for legitimate reasons, I can't say anything about that. But quite often people get annoyed by PayPal that when they get sent a certain amount, it gets put on hold till you can prove the source of this money. In relative decent circumstances the funds get released in a matter of days, but quite often it can take a week or two before people get access to their money. In some cases this money is needed to pay bills and stuff. In this case the paranoid policies of PayPal go to far.
For 3 years that i used paypal way back before,i will say that Its not a scam ,cause i have not encounteted one to say that paypal is a scam. Paypal is the most secure online bank before till i met bitcoin.
If you just send money (probably 99 % of people) it looks as super legit company with good customer protection and it 'just works'. If you get a merchant account you will find out what true PayPal is all about and you will eventually Pay, pal.
My suggestion is stay the hell out of it - the rules are not transparent and are bent all the time and they can do whatever they feel like, with payment processors (processing VISA/Mastercard) you can at least choose from multiple but once you 'hook' your customers on PayPal it's over.
Just my 2 cents - everyone I know had at least once at some point their PayPal account frozen (ofc the merchant account).
This is true, if you use paypal as a payment processor you are going to get a very good impression of paypal, but if you are selling stuff on ebay or something sooner or later your account is going to get frozen even if you are a legitimate business.My suggestion is stay the hell out of it - the rules are not transparent and are bent all the time and they can do whatever they feel like, with payment processors (processing VISA/Mastercard) you can at least choose from multiple but once you 'hook' your customers on PayPal it's over.

Who benefits from slander paypal name. This is the number of users who have this payment system, it says that they have nothing to do with scammers.
Yes, you are right, PayPal is not the scammers. This is a serious company that values its reputation. That is why it does not work with suspicious payments
They are a legit company and offers good service to all of us. Those people that are saying that paypal is a scam are the ones that was victimized by real scammers and they used out paypal for their shady activity and behavior. The bad thing is that the victim thinks that he was scammed by paypal and not by that real scammer guy.

For me paypal is not a scam but it can be used by scammers to scam other people who are using online accounts for buying via internet. Most scammers sells goods offering cheap products that may attract buyers online and transact with peoples who cannot be trusted and then you could be their victim. If already have deal with them that's the time they require your paypal account for the payment and no products or goods are coming out to you and everything has not come out to reality as what have you negotiated with them by deal discussions through e-mail.

Agree, although many complained about paypal, but I'm sure that paypal is not a scam. Most users of paypal on the block because they would abuse the Paypal for the illegal transaction. And besides it's because they don't want to verify credit card that is the main requirement in order for use Paypal.

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.
If that's the case, why don't you stay away from it little by little. Besides, you felt doubtful about it so no need to stay with it. Just follow your thoughts for what you think is right. Although, Paypal has been standing for a several years and many nations using it too, but we cannot blame their other clients about there complaints againts paypal.

Well for me they are a very good and trust able payment processor.
But one issue which i dont like in pp is that the chargeback factor.
I never been chargeback before but there's too much of complain towards paypal when people get chargeback when trading for digital products or digital items.
I've never understand how does the dispute or chargeback works and what the factors or criteria will affect the decision of chargeback

Paypal is not scam. I have been using paypal before for almost a year but i have no major problem with them. Though sometimes, they have a poor services maybe because of the connection.
Before I reached bitcointalk and even before I started to use and earn bitcoin, I was into article writing, and my earnings are sent thru paypal, I have no problem in receiving money thru paypal, been using it for the long time now and it is still good....
This days, paypal is what I use when I am purchasing goods that are not present locally in online stores. I could say that paypal is fine...

I think that, it is not scam, but when exchanging of bitcoin to paypal, there will be a scam. We should know where we will convert or exchange our bitcoins. Paypal users are cannot see whether they are in the scam, or we do not know whether the transaction is scam or not.
