Wait the can put your funds on hold? I don't have an account yet but I'm considering making one since I got accepted into a transcribing site. Unfortunately they only pay through Paypal. Would have been nice if I would just send the payment directly to my bitcoin wallet.

Yep, they usually put the payment on hold for verification and validation purposes. Been through all those 15-day shit period in which you won't be able to use your own money because they are 'verifying' the transaction on the other party that paid you the said amount. I understand it's for security reasons, but for 2-3 weeks? That's a pain in the ass for people in the fast lane.

Paypal is a reputable company even with their high fees associated to their service they follow each rules each country does have, soo if you loose money at them its your fault. Paypal is connected to honest merchants as well companies that provides their service, its very hard to see paypal supporting scams or any unrealistic project like hyyip.

i dont see paypal to be a scam thats why so many companies have adopted to use it as its an established brand and trusted payment system

yes i am agree with you, paypal have a good history in the past, we can see that people in out there will use paypal as their payment to buy and sell the product with low fee. and i think its impossible or hard if we see that paypal is scam, unless you use paypal for an illegal activity.

Their service might not be a scam or anything but their policy has flaws. Flaws that are getting abused by a lot of users. Some people might not even a scammer before but have found out about the dispute system and so they dispute their payments and get their money back. Basically Paypal has become a territory of scammers. Even eBay users are complaining about this feature.

If you're a seller, you would understand my point and you would stop accepting Paypal as payment ASAP.

I don't think that paypal is a SCAM , But I've heard some rumors about scam issue but so far I've its working smoothly Cheesy

It's working smoothly only in first world countries. In many countries, it is hell to just have your money back to you after getting it from a different country. I am not saying that it is ridiculous mainly coz what can be used for good, can also be used for something really bad. But the rules for making an account limited should be less negative. Roll Eyes

No matter how much people are complaining about the ridiculous policies of PayPal, they continue to use it while there are enough other alternatives.

It basically means that no matter how many alternatives there are, PayPal does something right/better than its competitors. That's the difference.

I think the fact that people enjoy buyers protection is the main point of people to keep using PayPal while they get annoyed by all the rules set up by PayPal.

Of course paypal is not scam, it have dumb rules but they don't scam

Well PayPal has serviced many users online and it has proven itself over the years. But their current security system that locks your fund if they detect transaction problems is not good due to their poor support system. Just this day a group in Facebook are debating that PayPal is a scam, well I am not sure of that but I have fear that possibly PayPal will just stop without us knowing since bitcoin has negative impacts on their sales.

I used the service a few years ago. The service was not perfect and had some problems like the high fees, but I did not find the problems that many people find today. And if it's as serious as you said, it can be very costly for the users and for the service itself.

Using the strict definition of the word "scam" I personally don't think that Paypal can qualify. However, like most of the online services, there would be people who can have some complaints against the service provider and in this case we are talking about Paypal. As what I experienced, my account was locked by Paypal because of a single transaction they did not like and there was nothing I can do because it is their own right to do so anytime.

Well, good thing we now have Bitcoin and I am sure that Paypal is now feeling the heat of the whole thing as it was forced to spend a lot of money making the Paypal brand smells fresh on Facebook.

I am sure that soon Paypal can be sidelined and may even die because of Bitcoin...or so I wish.

Paypal is not a scam,but the fact is only few are using it right now others switched to bitcoin for fast and easy transaction. They dont like paypal because of its buyer protection once its limited ,you must submit papers to identify that youre the real owner of that paypal account.

i agree with you that Paypal is not scam and paypal users was very high for online transaction buy now a lot of people using bitcoin and bitcoin getting too much popularity and a huge number of people using bitcoin for online shopping because bitcoin is very useful and profitable currency and acceptable in anywhere for online shopping.

I also agree that paypal is not a scam, because its purposes was for online payment transactions thats used particularly online shopping. Some scammers use paypal to scam people not paypal itself is liable of those who act wrong. Paypal is important to buy bitcoin using fiat currency as that is the gateway of fiat and bitcoin exchange online.

There are some points because of where Bitcoin users are not very favor this payment system. The fact that to pay the bills, it is very well suited, as well as shopping in a store, but it is difficult to trade bitcoin.

it's suited well because you just need to link your credit cards to your paypal account to make everything done. you can setting up the paypal to pay the bills by yourself if you'd agreed an automatic payment or renewal
other than that it's really complicated and fortunately that they're exist since many years ago so people already know it. paypal is win on popularity

I agree with you completely. True, I today use another international payment system, but their advantage is obvious. No problem does not occur if the payment or transfer of funds to any wallets or credit cards, in contrast to how these functions are performed by banks.

Well in paypal there are no problems occur. We cant say that paypal is scam because paypal is there for a years and there are no problems with it but sometimes we could say that there are delays of payment but it will be taken an action byy the developers then it will be sent or received immediatly Tongue

I had never found it as a best .
I found many wrost things in PayPal . PayPal can deduce the balance from your connected bank account without permission and without reason instructions . Secondly it is reversible also .
I will prefer to everyone not to use if you have another way of payment .
