Pros: Fast and Easy way to send and receive money Cons: New requirements to receive free 5 dollars for signing up and referrals
I have been using PayPal for over a year now. I signed up at first just to receive the five dollars they offer for signing up. I didn't realize how often I would be using PayPal after that. I use it the most for collecting and sending payment for...

Pros: Convenient email payment system, great for auctions Cons: Payments are just like cash, not regulated
If you are a user, or potential user of PayPal, you owe it to your wallet to read this review. PayPal has a loophole in the system for scam artists and you could be the next victim! Although there are over 269 reviews on PayPal in the...

Pros: Works well with Ebay; Accounts pay interest Cons: Verification of funds takes too long
Do you partake in lots of on- line shopping? If so, then there is a good chance you have an account with PayPal, the on- line web service that helps its users transfer and receive funds for buying and selling merchandise on- line. This business ...

Pros: no fees for buyers, seems secure in my experience, easy to use if understood. Cons: hard to contact, even harder to contact a human
PayPal is what can best be described as a bank account on the internet. You can have money put in there, you can withdraw money, and you can have all sorts of monetary transactions completed by using the main PayPal site. In my case, I have used it for ...

Pros: Can transfer funds via email, easy to use, pay bills, recieve and send money. Cons: None that I have found
I have been a member of Pay Pal™ for over 2 years and I really enjoy it. I use it to receive payments from the programs that I participate in to earn money. Most of them use Pay Pal™ to pay me! It's fast, easy and safe to use. They have it set up...

Pros: widely accepted Cons: serious security problems and horrendous customer service
I have read sooooo many reviewers talking about how wonderful Paypal. Let me tell you it isn't all it's cracked up to be. My experience with Paypal has been nothing but problems.... I originally opened the account awhile ago and used it primarily for ...

Pros: Fast, reliable, accurate, convenient service Cons: It charges auctioneers and website marketers a fee, while YahooPay Direct will serve them for free.
443 reviews have been written about PayPal's online payment service, but, as time has passed, the tone of these reviews has changed from "excited" to "angry", even "betrayed."
I chalk it up to semantics. PayPal...

Pros: Very easy site to use. Clean way of doing business. Cons: Nothing worth noting
Many years ago I was actively purchasing Football cards of a favorite NY JET player. I did much of that business through the auction site of E-Bay. At first I was sending checks and money orders and waiting for them to clear before receiving the product. ...

Pros: Convenient and easy to use. Cons: Costs money and PayPal didn't offer me any confidence when things went wrong.
Paypal has to be one of the internet success stories, with millions of transactions going through its books on a daily basis. Although some of Paypals activities generate more than its full share of pathological hatred from its users, the website ...

Pros: easy to use Cons: customer service that doesn't understand customer OR service
Why, you must wonder, do I feel it necessary to review an online service that already has 458 reviews? I've been using PayPal longer than I can remember, and today, I have finally encountered the straw that broke the camel's back. ~&~ The ...

Pros: Can be a convenient way to transfer funds online--eBay payments, etc... Cons: If you need to change address or other info, it's a real pain
Can I USE "shebang" on Epinions? Hunh. We'll find out, I suppose.
I haven't tried to use the admittedly impressive broad number of features that PayPal offers; I've only used it to send and receive eBay payments. Even at this shallowest...

Pros: Easy way to transfer money Cons: Don't let them steal your money!
Ah, the joys of Paypal. Accept credit cards. Pay for stuff fast and easy. That is all true... for most people. However, I think I have discovered how Paypal makes their money... by stealing it from unknowing suckers like myself.
The good....

Pros: **Allows Sellers to Receive Quick Payment**
**Allows Buyers to Make a Quick, Easy Payment** Cons: **Fees are high**
I originally joined Paypal so that when I made a purchase on Ebay I could quickly pay for it. It was quick and easy. And it did not cost me anything to use it. Then, I began selling on Ebay to make a little extra $$$ since I quit my job to stay home with ...

Pros: Everyone has it on EBay making it convenient for sellers/buyers. Cons: Frequent charge backs, buyer scams, no protection, loopholes, no customer service. You'll lose $.
UPDATE - PAYPal again wiggles out of a loop hole in its seller protection program leaving me with a $115 loss on an item. A buyer of an item of mine filed a PAYPal claim against me because he claims he didn't receive a bag he had bought from me worth ...

Pros: It's Free! Easy to use, and makes shopping online fun! Cons: Too many limitations and their server goes down too often
Review of PayPal.com (November 27, 2000)
What a great idea! This is a web-based resource that the "every day" internet surfer may use to make free electronic payments for online purchases or to send payments to others via email. I...
