They should be scared. They are a shitty company that steals and locks accounts for no reason. I haven't seen any attack ads personally but the one listed on that site is weak.

Hopefully Google Wallet and Apple Pay will take away their grasp on online payments and p2p transfers.
They lock accounts because they cannot be certain as to who "owns" certain money in the account due to their charge backs policies. I think this will ultimately lead to the demise of paypal because someone with a balance in their account does not truly know if they will be able to actually spend the money. It is like having a transaction be "unconfirmed" for months while having the possibility of a "double spend" against your account.


Well crafted answer. This hits the nail on the head regarding paypal. While basically describing how the fundamentals of how bitcoin and a new business model is born.

Bitcoin does seem like it has quite a lot of potential to change the world drastically if it can take hold.

True enough this may be apple were talking about and while they compete with bitcoin the fact that were seeing some serious movement in the field because Bitcoin is shaking things up is good for all consumers in the end.
Plus paypal is a beech.

scared? i don't think so but it look like a political election. Don't show how good you are, show how bad the other is. Typical advertising by a company that nothing more to offer than the other one.

never had a problem with paypal. still use it but carefully.

but they are reliable in that you can dispute payments and get refunds, something which still leaves the bitcoin open to scammers...still.

They're running attack ads on Apple's new payment system. COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that Paypal is as hackable as any online system and COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that they often shut down member accounts just so they can keep the money. http://www.wired.com/2014/09/paypals-attack-ad-shows-apples-power-inspire-fear-loathing/?mbid=social_fb
