Pros: Allows credit card payments to/from any registered email address.
Cons: WARNING: INTERNATIONAL USERS PLEASE READ! Expensive extra charges, busy phone lines, unresponsive customer service.
I am writing this as a warning to Canadian and International Paypal users. Read the fine print! Paypal is set up for U.S. users. International users pay through the nose.
Allow me to trace through a typical international transaction for $100 US,...

Pros: PayPal will help and protect a con artist if you are one.
Cons: Hollow or non existant protection policies, Atrocious customer service, and Flagrant disregard for members money.
When Paypal first came out I was one of the first to jump on the bandwagon and ride. I love to buy online and am a self-described auction addict. Paypal gave me the ability to pay instantly thus giving me great feedback, and I would get my merchandise...

Pros: easy to use, fast sign up, referral bonuses, quick payments
Cons: some fees, transfer times, not every seller accepts
What could be better than instant money for payments on an auction? Or payments online, in general? PayPal has become my "best friend" as I delve deeper into some of my favorite online auctions and discover the joy of receiving my goods (or...

Pros: Excellent idea, no service charges
Cons: Still looking for 'em!
Every now and then you run into a web site that makes a whole hell of a lot of sense. The idea is simple, ingenious, and convenient. Introducing.... PayPal.com.

Pros: Free!! Quick transactions!
Cons: None, so far.
When I first heard about this service a while back, I was short on cash, and the only thing I used it for was to sign friends up, get $10, and forward it off to my account.
Times have changed, and now they only give you $5 every time you sign...

Pros: Easy to use, assures payment once it is sent.
Cons: Pushing to make bank account numbers a must to sign up.
I know many people have heard of PayPal. More than that, I know that a large number of people are skeptical about joining. "How could they just give me money to sign up?" They insist there must be a gimmick or a hidden hook. Besides that,...

Pros: Fast, Easy, Secure and Free
Cons: None
My last several internet site reviews began to give me the feeling I was losing confidence in the internet. Paypal has been a breath of fresh air, giving me a renewed belief in the net. I came upon Paypal during my hours of searching through the pages...
