PayPal

Pros: They assist you in setting up a recurring payments shopping cart.  
Cons: Then they take out the one thing that's needed to make it work.

Pros: Convenience.
Cons: Lack of customer service. Rip-off/Expensive.

PayPal's customer service is a travesty. I called them because they arbitrarily put a hold on funds I received from an eBay auction. They had apparently updated their Terms of Service/Policies (without telling me) to say that they could put a ...

Pros: see above.

Avoid Paypal and sellers that use it. PayPal does not protect you as a consumer. It's better to use a credit card, and only stick to sellers who can take them without going through PayPal. I was ripped off using PayPal. PayPal refused ...

Pros: None worth the risk of using PayPal services.
Cons: No protection under the law. A law onto themselves, answerable to no one.

If you are a merchant, do not trust PayPal to honestly handle your electronic payments. I trusted them for 8 years. Then they put a hold on a payment with no explanation and no reason. They froze my account, preventing any transactions for 2 weeks. ...

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 $.
