I hope that PayPal will restore its reputation and will work as early as in the near future. It is a pity that they have lost a lot of customers. Nobody wants to risk their money

they don't lost a lot customers,even they do,they will always get a bunch of new customers,as i've seen that paypal verification service are now growing up and getting used widely among many people,it's a clue that paypal still become a need for those who transacting in online world

even their policies are sucks and painful,you can't avoid that they're the most used service compared to other

Most users are unaware of those policies anyway until they encounter someone disputing payments. I can only imagine people making thousands of money by depositing 1,000$ in Paypal, buying something worth 1000$, then dispute the payment after you got the item. I'm pretty sure somebody's abusing this Buyer Protection Policy so much while seller's can't do anything about it.

That kind of action would et shut down real fast. It's not in paypal's interest to allow people to get away with such abuse and it's not in their customers interest to tolerate a business that doesn't shut down scammers hard. PayPal is a payment middleman, and those in that business are ripe for disruption by middleman-less technologies, so they understand very clearly the need to operate fairly for all parties.

I agree with you that paypal service is still used nowadays because people get used too it regarding on making online transactions , their policies really sucks and its a pain but i could really say that their clients or users are decreased because of bitcoins existence and im assure of that, for those people who are not aware on bitcoins existence theyll surely use paypal still.

Yeah, and there are a lot of them. In fact it's 188 million users in 2016. I don't think all of them don't aware of the Bitcoin existence, it's just impossible or very incovenient to use Bitcoins in some cases so that's why they are using PayPal.

I have yet to see any big online store accepting bitcoins, barring game stores like Steam. As far as I know, stores like Amazon, BestBuy, iHerb, etc are not accepting bitcoins directly. And it seems that all of them are accepting payments made through PayPal, though. Why would they use it if it was a scam?

Indeed mate. Some people are very abusive and think that they can manipulate the system.. Paypal transactions are made online so that's why some people may have legit disputes and some are not. Some abusive users just want to try and take advantage of the policy.

Indeed, people would really make some actions regarding on this because they saw this as an opportunity for them to make money from other people thats why they use these feature of paypal because they know they could able to scam people with this. These thing could really make some bad image to paypal thats why there are people saying that its a scam.

Some? You should know how severe the problem of scammers charging back on innocent sellers is.

I understand that people see the buyers protection feature as a great tool in case they need it, but it by far doesn't outweigh the negative aspect due to all the scammers.

That's why I think the victims of this, and other people, will more and more prefer Bitcoin as a currency tool/payment platform in order to complete all their transactions.

Bitcoin guarantees them that all transactions are final. That should give everyone enough confidence and will to give Bitcoin a chance.

what is in your mind that you say paypal scam ?. possible regulations that restrict paypal. because now a lot of scams that use paypal as a payment

I think someone trick him thats why his telling that paypal is scam i use paypal since i started business with internet and i never encountered in problem with paypal i use also paypal to pay online as payment this is number payment method in the online shops. lmao and then accusing paypal is scam.

There are some transactions they get disputed between seller and buyer, usually paypal follow the law and refund accordingly those, but there are some bad people using and abusing those system, damaging others with paypal rules. Paypal has and its a trusted companie that co-works with in the general only trusted websites, you dont see hyip with paypal, if you see such be sure its a scam attempt nothing else.

Some users really do that get the dispute and report it to the paypal and they can refund the amount they send is they applicable in sending of friends and family? i think this is for services only? And if this can be use then some bad people can really make this advantage to scam more people who don't really uses paypal that good.

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.

Yes Bro I Also Think That Paypal Is A Scam Because It Freezes Your Funds For No Reason And Also Not For A Small Period They Freezes Them For 180 Days But If You Had An Issue Its Better To Contact The Support Now Otherwise Leave Using Paypal....

Paypal has never frozen funds for no reason. There is always a reason, even if people disagree with the interpretation of actions that preceded the freezing of the account. Usually, it's usually people using Paypal against the TOS that gets their accounts or funds frozen. People who have funds frozen and claiming it was for "no reason" are not being truthful about the illicit activities they are involved in that got their accounts frozen, or their attempts to use Paypal improperly themselves.

definitely,sometimes people just don't believe if they're actually doing someting wrong which is against paypal's TOS and keep bullshitting around if paypal banned their account without reason whilst actually reason is exist but they just don't accept it because they will feel losing,a big company won't blatantly banning their users without any reason,it will make their reputation getting bad

PayPal is a big pain in the ass first it has country restriction second it takes your money for every transaction and it takes a long ass time to process any payment.

That is the truth, they are pain in the ass. They have ridiculous fees, but they are not scam. Many sites and services have country restrictions. We have luck that bitcoin doesn't have such restrictions, thou some bitcoin sites have restrictions for example. That restrictions depends from country laws, nkt from the service ot site as I know.

Many of us don't have choice but to use paypal for the online stores and merchants are using them and they don't have other option for their payment processor. Paypal is not scam, but it is really hurting us with the fees that we are needed to pay forcely. And every time they have update or increase, we can't do something about it.

Well I asked for a limit lift on my paypal account, everything went smooth and after a few months they freezed my account due to a fact that I received 2000$ in my paypal account, but I didn't received any payment higher than 200$. I contacted their support and they said that due to a possible fraudulent activity they had to block my account, but all the money received was from etoro. I kept spamming them with emails, but they just ignored me. I lost my account with 2$ in it Grin

, I'll never trust paypal again in my life, just a bunch of idiots.

Paypal isn't a scam but most scammers use Paypal for there business

i agree with you that Paypal is not scam and i think paypal is trusted so do not worry about to use paypal but i see that paypal is can not be use in some country for business so we can not blame to Paypal.

PayPal isn't bad overall, and it can be incredibly useful and, well, efficient, for what it does. The only real difference is that PayPal is still a private entity, and as such, can freeze your funds whenever it wants. You just gotta hope they don't every so often.

Correct. This is so true and it is getting to be a pain in the butt. Why do they do that if you are already verified. They want some more verification even if you already sent them most of it. There is this connection in the bank also with them and as if we can make an account in the bank without our personal information. Simple as that and yet they still want some more. Huh
