Pros: Easy to use, great for auction payments.

Paypal is an online payment system. You can pay someone for goods, like for auctions, through email.

Pros: seamless, FREE, easy-to-use, practical, convenient, fast
Cons: takes 3-5 days to complete wired transactions, over a week for mailed checks, $500 spending cap
Even thought I have only been a member of PayPal for about 3 days now, I am an enormous fan of this truly revolutionary service. I heard murmurs about it months ago but ignored the invitational e-mail thinking I'd never use it.
Since...

Pros: Simple, broadly usable payment processing service.
Cons: Owned by less-than-reputable Ebay.
I must say - from a developer's viewpoint, PayPal.com is a God-send. I've developed for CPM, DOS, Windows, Linux, Mobile Phones - and I've seen that regardless of what you use, PayPal's money-changing routines are painfully simple to implement. ...

Pros: Quick way to accept credit card payments
Cons: Must register a credit card with PayPal, even if you don't intend to buy anything
Recently, I started collecting sports cards, and online auctions are great places to find them. I wanted a quick and easy way to pay for my cards, and PayPal turned out to be the answer.
For those who don't already know, PayPal allows you to...

Pros: Fast Easy Auction Payments
Cons: Will not return my funds as Promised
Here is a copy of the letter I sent to PayPal:
I hope you are able to help me with a problem I've encountered with PayPal.com. The problem concerns the billing or payment at your bank. .
I had a funds transfer stopped to Zemay Etay...

Pros: Easy, Quick, Fast, Reliable, and Secure.
Cons: None at present.
I discovered this great new way to transport money from point A to point B at Ebay. When I won my first auction the seller introduced me to PayPal.
This is a great new FREE service. When brought to my attention I went to the site and checked...

Pros: free, secure, accepts credit card or bank draft
Cons: none yet
I love to surf auction sites. I admit to being hooked on the anticipation of the last minute bidding war. I love it when the postman rings the bell and drops off those wonderful blue and white priority boxes for me! I love it!
But I don't...

Pros: Easy usage & sign up, speeds up online transactions
Cons: requires a high level of personal information, EBay parents
If you thought being able to sit behind your computer and bid on items at auction sites (i.e. Ebay) you must have was easy, try PayPal and find out that you can even pay for these items without ever leaving your seat! PayPal has added an ...

Pros: Ease of use, fast service, good things to come.
Cons: Small service fee if you opt for the deluxe services.
At present, I am using Bidpay, Billpoint, and PayPal, so I have something of a basis for comparing and recommending online payment services. For my money (yeah, a groaner!) PayPal is the clear winner by comparison, and on its own.
PayPal is...

Pros: free, easy to use, accept credit cards, quick & painless
Cons: site difficult to get used to at first
I started using Paypal about over a month ago when I saw the banner ad on someone's auction site on ebay. I visited their website, read what it was all about and registered. This service is great for sending money and receiving it, especially for...

Pros: Accept payment online without a merchant account.
Cons: Need to register a credit card to get sign-up bonus.
I joined Paypal, which is a free service of X.com, on the recommendation of a friend. He runs a website and recently started using Paypal to generate some money for his business by referrals and for giving the people the opportunity to pay for his gold...

Pros: none that i could see!
Cons: poor customer service--oh yeah, and it doesn't work!
I saw the ad on ebay.com--sign up and receive $10! Sounds great--a secure way to pay for auctions, and a free $10--where do I sign up?
Well, in order to get the $10, you have to register at least one credit card. That's...

Pros: You can receive and send payment s if you buy and sell on Ebay.
Cons: You get charged a fee for every payment you receive from someone.
I have been a member of Ebay for a number of years now and being the sceptic that I am it took me ages to think about and open a Paypal account. Having used this account for about a year. I thought I'd write and tell you of my views on paypal. ...
