Pay Pal Online Reviews

Paypal, an online payment system, has always been great for me. I have been using it for about six years and have gotten payments for freelance writing jobs and surveys. Although I've never done it, people can also make payments with it. There may be a small charge for using the service, but the convenience makes it worthwhile. They notify you by email if you are paid, and you can use different email addresses. I've been paid by people from other countries which eliminates the hassle of being paid by check and converting currency.

Once you receive payment, you can direct deposit the money into...

Paypal can be fast easy and very convenient to use.  In fact if you're a buyer or seller on ebay you almost have to use them. But if you do use them just be prepared to be burned because it will happen sooner or later.  Their customer service if you have a problem is awful!  All the answers to your emails are automated and their customer service phone number is very hard to find on their website.  Chargebacks can take months to be solved and their buyer seller protection is a joke!  Believe me if they can find a loophole out of taking any responsibility they will.  I've only had problems...

 I got shafted by an Ebay buyer and then by PAYPAL- the buyer returned a perfectly functional camera he bought from me in an Ebay auction that clearly stated "all sales final."  2 months later the buyer returns it, claims I sold him a faulty camera, and Paypal doesn't ask to see any proof - just buys the guy's story and racks up the total under my account and freezes my account.

Paypal is an excellent service owned by Ebay. So I believe they have Ebay's best interest at heart and not necessarily yours. They will try and encourage you to use a draft from you bank account. they toot how safe and protected you are when doing so.

I say use a credit card thru Paypal. I trust my credit cards ability to refund me for non=delivered items quickly. With paypal I have seen it take months to arbitrate before finally getting a refund.

Best of all, it's completely free to sign up!

i recently purchased a product through a seller using pay pal.  i ordered two items from the seller and paid through pay pal.  when i received my order i only received one item.  i tried contacting the seller to no avail and then tried filing a dispute with pay pal.  they said they couldn't help.  i was amazed.  how could they say they couldn't help me.  i thought the whole purpose of pay pal was to help buyers and sellers. 

my advice.

don't buy anything using the pay pal service.  they won't help you if something goes wrong. they wont put out any effort.  but.  they will send you a customer...
