PayPal

Pros: Its easy ... (too easy)
Cons: READ EVERYTHING AND UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING BEFORE PROCEEDING~!~

I just started a transaction , and used my checking account to pay for an auction. I started the payment process ....
then decided to send a money order , because it was quicker!

Soooooo , I logged on to PayPal and hit the 'cancel'...

Pros: Easy, simple, and they pay you to sign up
Cons: They used to give you $10 to sign up

2 parts to this review:

1). I love free money so I sign up for every free money offer I can find and paypal has one of the best deals going. They will give you $5 just to open an account and then give you an additional $5 to...

Pros: send money anywhere, speeds up the process
Cons: the site is slow, takes 3-5 days for the money to actually show up in your account.

I first started using this FREE service a few months ago. It has been a blessing. PayPal is an a website that assists you in sending money to anyone with an email address.

When you sign up for this service, you give an email address, pick a...

Pros: Free, easy to transfer cash, you get paid!
Cons: none

I just signed up for paypal, and i have to say it's the most convenient thing about. I signed up for it to pay for an auction. You get $5 simply for signing on, and can get referral credits.

Its terrific, what can i say. Money is...

Pros: Very easy to use, FREE, great service
Cons: Not everyone is using it yet.

I've begun buying and selling items on Ebay, and I must say it wouldn't be the same without PayPal. PayPal is a free service not actually affiliated with Ebay, but it works great when completing transactions in a very short amount of time. To sign up...

Pros: $5 to sign up and $5 for signing other up and otherwise service is free and easy!
Cons: WARNING: SPAM effect!!!

Well we have just about everything online these days. If you need something then you can bet you would be better off trying to find it online. Take for example buying items online at eBay.com. If you are looking for a hard to find item then you can skip...

Pros: great service if you're not traveling
Cons: account "restricted" when you travel, nearly impossible to re-enable

I'm a US citizen who had been a happy PayPal user for a while, so I'm not thrilled that I'm now writing a negative review for what I'd otherwise consider to be a great service.

I travel often, and I use all of my online services when I'm...

Pros: Once in a while, it actually works
Cons: Horribly dysfunctional site - total hit or miss - customer service nonexistent.

Seems like a no-brainer concept - simple, quick card payments for auction/online purchases. Also supported by an aggressive, pyramid-scheme-like program offering discount incentives for referring new users. One problem though -- the site is horribly...

Pros: easy to use, great for auctions
Cons: slow time in actual hand on your money

In my opinion paypal is one of the best things to happen to auctions. I do auctions as a living being a stay at home mom of 4. And this is a great, fast, easy and free way to get paid for auctions and quickly. Paypal allows me to receive an immediate...

Pros: Free credit card transactions, direct deposited to my bank account
Cons: customer service isn't too great

Paypal is a life saver! I am a power seller on Ebay and for the longest time I was debating to open up a merchant account to accept credit cards. Every time I looked into getting a merchant account, I noticed you had to pay fees for every transaction,...

Pros: Everybody is using it on eBay.
Cons: Poor Customer Service. Bad business practices.

Like most customers of PayPal, I was impressed with the service and ease of use when I first signed up. In fact, I was encouraging people to use PayPal. I thought that concept was a much needed feature of an auction site.

I have used PayPal...

Pros: convienient, easy to use
Cons: fees for sellers/businesses, less "community oriented" than before

When I first came across someone recommending PayPal, I thought this was the coolest thing that had ever occured. I was big into the online collectibles community, and it provided a very quick and easy way for me to pay for my purchases, and for me to be...

Pros: Ease of use as applies to online payments
Cons: Pretty much everything else; particularly security and ease with which you can be ripped off

I have used PayPal off and on for several years now, mainly for making payments on eBay purchases. Over time I have noted a number of what I would consider critical failings in their service. As many have already pointed out, their customer service ...

Pros: They used to be good.
Cons: They will keep your money for 180 days and you are HELPLESS

I would like to tell you, if you are considering a paypal; account RUN as fast as you can. I have used them since they started, I have a personal user account and a business account I have over 2200 verified transactions with them. They froze my ...

Pros: Easy to use
Cons: Little slow on confirmation

I first started using paypal when I was buying something off of ebay.com.
I saw the little banner on the page and thought I'd check it out. It is a great way to buy and sell items on the online auctions. Paypal starts you out with a 500 dollar limit...
