Pros: sounds good
Cons: can't transfer money, terrible customer service

After having my credit card number stolen years ago, it took a while to start doing online purchases and even longer to sign up for PayPal. I finally signed up for PayPal, on advice from a friend, when my son who lives in Canada needed money for his ...

Pros: None.
Cons: They are not a bank and are not federally monitored in any way.

Cons: Web site doesn't work, Customer Support hates you.

Pros: Convenient & Easy to Use
Cons: A Little Slow on Start-Up Process

Paypal is a very smart concept! The people who came up with this idea were thinking about all the little people out their that didn't want to pay credit card companies a fee to use their services for small amounts every month.

I've been...

Pros: simple to use, makes auctions a snap
Cons: not enough people are using it yet, but they're getting there!!
