Just follow there terms and condition and you will be good.

That's not always true. There are plenty of people that had their funds frozen while they didn't do anything against their policies. I personally know a few people that used to offer their coding skills to people in return for payments through PayPal. These people had their balance frozen numerous times while they didn't do anything wrong.

The only word that PayPal gave them after un-freezing their balances, was that investigations turned out that nothing illegal or against their policies has happened. No sorry, or whatever. But in the meantime, they couldn't access the money that they needed to pay bills with since coding is a big part of their total income. Ridiculous. Good thing is that they now accept Bitcoin too, but through a payment provider that converts their coins directly to fiat. Either way, they ditched PayPal.

Every monopoly is somekinda scam, you can still safely use paypal but,
never ever go all into it. you cannot know what is going to happen in future.

Ya i also agree with you.Just use it if only necessarry.Don save too much money on paypal.Withdraw it to our bank account when we don wan use that fund.Many seller has complain about paypal because of reversed fund.

I think there will be no problem using paypal when you obey the rules and regulations and you've secured your account with nice, PayPal is a trusted company they will not be a scam

yes! Just read the rules and regulations of paypal in thier terms and condition before saving money on this site. for me, paypal is not a scam. but be careful also, even in other wallets on virtual world, please be careful and be aware. there's no perfect site so i think they just have a bit of glitch on their website.

Paypal is not a scam but they have had a history of horrible customer support. Also, it is not suitable for selling bitcoins for paypal since paypal does not protect the sellers.

that's a long time ago dude. paypal improve their service since that happen. paypal offering to refund your money just report it to them and they will look out on your report. and their security is suite in every ways but i wish that they will ask some 2nd verification life texting the code on your mobile if someone accessing your account for more secure transaction. many paypal accounts is being hack because of those online shopping website which has no best security. but today i don't use paypal like back in the days. i prefer to use bitcoin to send and received money right now

It depends on many things and how you look them. When we are shopping onlune, they offer us money refund service and I am glad with this service but as seller on ebay, paypal is worst thing because sometimes buyer lies and paypal blindly trusts them. On another side, they are often limiting your paypal account with silly reason and most silliest question from them was: Why do you make much more money than last year? And they lockes my account for six month. They aren't scammers because people knows them as most trusted payment company but at the same time I can't understand their actions and so high trust on paypal from people.

I use PayPal for many years and I have never had any problems with him. Despite the disturbing news I continue to use this payment system. I feel so comfortable

This is such a strange topic.
Dude, every site, even the best one has some issues, bugs or errors. You should get used to it, like everyone else.

"Is paypal a scam" <- this is really dumb question. Paypal was started reaaally really early, its not a new website.
So tell me how the fuck would they be still alive, after roughly 14 years of being on market ( 2002 they had IPO )

Save the world jesus...

I agree with you, if we dont really use too much or actively use our funds its really better to transfer it immediately on our bank accounts. Cash back feature of paypal does really have advantages and disadvantages on each transaction. Peoples intentions would really affect the reputation of paypal. Cashback charges could always possible to use to scam someone.

even though the money you've gotten from selling a services had been withdrawn to your bank account,the paypal still can request you to get the money back to the one who just request a chargeback,if you're verifying your credit card with paypal,you'll be automatically charged and if you weren't then your paypal account seems going to be disabled

I understand that paypal has a bad customer service and has some strict rules and regulation but it is not a scam. It is trusted by many companies as a form of payment for many years .If its a scam many of them have gone bankrupt by now.

For these past years I've been hearing a lot of complaints about paypals customer service and I think the reason for it is there are too many users and they can't accommodate all of them.

Better contact their support team if you have any problems .

I agree with you, if they are scam then they are sued now. The sayings is you cannot please everyone so maybe with paypal you are not satisfied with their service but I am pretty sure there are a lot of people who needs their service and they are the satisfied group of people.

Paypal has built its reputation and the reversible transactions are something we cant do anywhere else, paypal does follow regulamentation of each country and in the end who dont know those will end get scammed by a seller or a buyer.

Yes paypal is legit and follow law.The have higher charges since they pay taxes but this charge back that you can reversed the transaction I think is the common complain.I think this is a good feature but it is also abused by the scammer itself.

I used to use PayPal. But now I do not have confidence in the payment system.

If you are going to use paypal to make purchases? I recommend that you use paypal, I bought things on ebay using PayPal for many years., if you want I can show you pictures of the things I buy, have always arrived in my country without problems. I also always received money in my paypal account. I remember that 5 years ago I kept lots of money in my paypal account before transferring to my bank account and never had problems. However. Last year i had problems, since I transferred a very small amount, it was $ 15 and never arrived in my bank account and so I stopped saving money in my paypal account and use other options.

I also heard a lot of people complain that they opened a dispute against PTC ( Paid to click ) sites and many lost the dispute.

So stay away from PTC sites and just use paypal to shop on ebay.

I dont like paypal. I prefer bitcoins in all of my transactions. You need to be verified first in order to unlock some features on it.

I've been using paypal now for about 15 years and never had a problem with them.
In contrary. Every time I had a problem with a delivery they helped me out.
I got my money back each time when there was an issue with a seller that could not be solved with a normal conversation.
So no, paypal is doing a good job, it's not scam.

Maybe because that you are a paypal user for a long time they give you immediately support and help you.

But for others especially for new accounts they aren't fast enough and require sometimes more information that is needed.

Have you submitted any personal information to them like ID, bill address receipt or something similar, I don't say they are scam but require lots of info.
