PayPal

Pros: The fastest way to pay for auctions. Reliable. A blessing for small e-business
Cons: Only protects you to the extent you protect yourself--but that's life

There's been a lot of flap on the web lately about problems with PayPal. The fact is I don't buy it. I have been with PayPal for almost 2 years now. I have sent and received thousands of dollars through them, including a couple of large credit card...

Pros: free, secure, it works!!!
Cons: nothing yet!

I am a very skeptical person. When I recently sold something on Ebay, a friend of mine told me to try PayPal. I thought, "There is no way that this service will work, for free." Guess what? It did work, for free, and I have a new means of...

Pros: Security, ease of use, useful service
Cons: Secure servers are SLOW

Paypal.com is one of a growing number of companies through which you can make payments online. The main purpose is to allow people to only have to give their credit card to one company. It also serves to allow people who normally wouldn't have the...

Pros: Currently the most well known & accepted online payment site
Cons: No longer free

Paypal used to bill itself as "Always Free!" but they seem to have quietly booted that slogan. I had heard the rumblings in the online auction community about new fees, and lately had been noticing that sellers on ebay and Yahoo are beginning...

Pros: cash bonus, simplicity, immediacy
Cons: slow sign up process

Yes, it's true. They pay you for signing up. They pay you for any friend you sign up. No hassles with how much you use it, or some percentages of your friends usage of it. Straight cash. And you get it in your account the second you sign up. The...

Pros: Fast, free secure
Cons: Haven't found any.

As the owner of a growing small business, primarily web-based, I was beginning to realize that I had to be able to accept credit card payments if I wanted to keep up with the market demand. However, since I am operating on a shoe-string budget, I really...

Pros: fast, reliable, easy to use, and secure
Cons: none really

Paypal has been around for a while in terms of online money payments. They are constantly making...

Pros: Customer service responded quickly to my questions, I even got a reply on Christmas Day.
Cons: This is just another company doing anything they can to get your personal identifiable information.

I signed up for PayPal for one reason, that was to get money from Ignifuge. I had no choice if I wanted my money, because Ignifuge would only pay through PayPal. An added bonus of signing up was getting $5, but only if I gave my credit card number, which...

Pros: Smooth transactions, free, makes you money while they save you money
Cons: none at all

Man, ever heard of a credit card processor that will pay you $10/referral? well pay pal will! actually, its down to $5 now...but for all of you auctioneers out there, its an easy, secure, profitable, and FREE way to accept visa and mastercards online....

Pros: Safe, secure, online money transfer. Real plus for auctioneers.
Cons: 2 week wait for check.

X.com's Paypal is probably my online money transfering service of choice. Friends, I have used billpoint, bidpay, and paypal and I must say that for those who are not doing heavy transfering, paypal is best.

I have been a user for almost a...

Pros: Good for people that drag stuff out of the ditch and sell it on eBay.
Cons: Adversarial, poor account security, fees higher than merchant account, divulges sales information to eBay investors.

PayPal works against your business because they treat their merchants in an adversarial "gotcha" way. They judge you guilty for any little thing and pull the rug out from under you without even discussing the matter with you. They even go as far as ...

Pros: quick, easy, free, convenient
Cons: personal accounts are now limited

This review used to be titled "paypal is excellent!" but they have implemented some changes that lessened my enthusiasm for the site. Paypal is still a good service, and I will continue to use it, but I was disappointed about some of their new...

Pros: Fast, Convient, Easy to Use, linked with ebay
Cons: Fees even for non-credit card transactions with premier account

Paypal.com offers an easy and convient way to send and receive money for online transactions, such as Ebay auctions. They are actually owned by Ebay. I have used Paypal for several years and have not had any major problems. The only problem I had once ...

Pros: Easy, secure, full of options
Cons: Kind of slow when logging in

I have found PayPal to be an excellent service for transferring money online. I have used it for auctions and to get money to and from friends.

I decided to use PayPal when I saw a banner for it on a website I was visiting. I needed a...

Pros: Fast, easy, and safe way to send money or pay for an auction on the internet; it's free, they have a referral system
Cons: Initial spending amount isn't that great(can be increased easily though), no other Cons I have been pleased with the service except I only wish everyone on ebay would use Paypal

After bidding on a few auctions on ebay.com I wanted to send funds after winning fast and easy. Paypal was the answer to that. Paypal makes it very easy and fast to send payment to sellers after an auction. Best of all the service is free, I looked at...
