PayPal

Pros: Convenient for auction payments
Cons: Not accepted everywhere

Introduction
I'm an avid collector of early postcards featuring the Oregon coast and consequently, spend a lot of time on eBay and Yahoo Auctions bidding for cards that interest me. I was very happy to find PayPal and have been using it...

Pros: Instant cash payments/receipts, easy to use, nice webpage.
Cons: Long verification process, decreasing perks.

Paypal.com, one of the only true e-commerce solutions for all those pesky payments you need to make or for increased peace of mind on receiving payments owed. Let's go over the basics:

Concept

Paypal is a service webpage...

Pros: Fast, easy and safe way to buy on line
Cons: Customer service is there but extremely slow to react

Updated 22 June 2000: Scroll to the bottom to see the additionial information.

I do a lot of business at Yahoo Auctions, buying additions to my model train collection. When a regular seller told me about Paypal.com, I jumped at the...

Pros: don't have to leave home
Cons: very slow

I love eBay. It is a great way to buy products that would otherwise be hard to find. The major downside to eBay has always been payment and the slow processing of money. In the past, most eBay auctions were paid for by sending a check and waiting it...

Pros: Fast, free, simplifies payments. Allows you to accept credit cards. $5 sign-up bonus
Cons: Takes 3 days (transfer to bank) to 2 weeks (paper check by snail mail) to get money

If you are an online auction addict (or even slightly interested), Paypal will soon be almost a necessity for you. Paypal is a free service that allows individuals to accept credit card payments. I have had an excellent experience with paying for...

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...

Pros: easy to use, great for auction payment and other shopping, secure and safe to use
Cons: must use caution when buying anything online

A lot of controversy has been going on about PayPal lately with a few scam artists who have used their services and made the whole idea look bad. Ever hear the expression “One bad apple spoils the whole bunch”? This is exactly what has happened in this...

Pros: SAFE, SECURE, FREE
Cons: intermittent down time

I joined PayPal close to a year ago. This is the best service available for online payment of this type. We buy and sell beanie babies and other collectibles and have always thought we could sell more if we could offer people to be able to use their...

Pros: great idea that works some of the time
Cons: heavy-handed tactics to obtain credit card number

I like it a lot when money-type issues can be handled with ease. It actually makes me feel as though I have some teeny bit of control in this whirling Blue Marble we live on...

But PayPal has been somewhat like a long marriage for me...
...

Pros: Easy to use and payments are confirmed quickly.
Cons: Have heard that customer service can be slow, but I have not needed it as checks have come quickly.

At first one would be skeptical of a free service that would be the "middle" man between a buyer and a seller in an auction setting. Such was the case with me. I have been selling products on eBay and Yahoo! for over a year and can say that my...

Pros: Extremely efficient
Cons: A little slow on the login

I was surprised to see a fellow epinioner give PayPal a one-star rating today. I use it frequently and it works for me. I think my use of it is varied enough that I can say I've put it to the test.

As with many people, my main use of PayPal...

Pros: Free depending on how one uses the service.
Cons: Poor customer service, reject most credit cards, thus forcing e-check transactions.

When Paypal first came out I was one of the first to jump on the bandwagon and ride. I love to buy online and am a self-described auction addict. Paypal gave me the ability to pay instantly thus giving me great feedback, and I would get my merchandise...

Pros: Fast, Easy, Reliable
Cons: none

I signed up with PayPal when it was still fairly new. PayPal is sort of like an online banking system. I love it and use it all the time for sending and receiving payments for auctions.

It is simple to send money with PayPal. All you...

Pros: Easy way to send money over the internet.
Cons: Security can be a problem for some.

Introduction PayPal can be one of the handiest ways to transfer money over the internet that exists today. Many eBay sellers will only take PayPal payments. Accounts Basically when you create a PayPal account you can send money to ...

Pros: Very fast and efficient
Cons: None so far

I recently signed up for this service as I sell a lot of stuff on eBay and wanted to give my buyers a quicker way to send money. (plus a lot of them asked) And I couldn't be more pleased.

If you sell anything on-line, this tool is very handy...
