PayPal

Pros: Fast, easy, automatic deposit, referral bonus
Cons: None that I can think of now

The 21st century has finally arrived! It wasn't until I discovered PayPal that I had tangible evidence of how amazing technology has become. As soon as I'd completed my first PayPal transaction, I realized that the service I'd been waiting for had...

Pros: Quick, Easy
Cons: None as of Yet

I really just looked into PayPal about a month ago, after buying something on Ebay from a seller who accepts it as a form of payment.

She explained it to me the best she could and also directed me to the FAQ(Frequently Asked Questions) section...

Pros: Bonus Sign up fee, and its FREE!!
Cons: not available for people outside of the US, or people without credit cards

At first I was very skeptical about PayPal, I was like ok what's the catch, they are giving me money to start an account...why? I created an account despite my initial thoughts, and have been addicted to PayPal ever since. I not only frequent buying...

Pros: Very convenient for paying for items over the internet.
Cons: All transactions are final! You cannot cancel a transaction. Terrible customer service!

Here is my horror story.


Paypal ties up your money and has bad customer care! now mind you, all of this is happening right now, right before Christmas.


I ordered a skate board on November 30th, using a paypal Virtual...

Pros: Free, Fast, Reliable and Secure
Cons: Paper Checks Take To Long to Receive

Paypal.Com is a credit card clearing house that has a product you can't beat. I started using Paypal.Com after way too many eBay customers asked if I'd accept credit cards. Paypal leaped out as by far the best service for credit card transactions.

Pros: Extremely easy payment system, quick deposits
Cons: Sometimes the site is slow

I've been a user of Paypal since February of 2000. I hadn't even heard of the service, and used Billpay once to pay for an item. Paying $5 for mere convenience seemed outrageous, and definitely was not a savings over sending a money order. (The seller...

Pros: Used to be good.
Cons: Something changed - took 2 weeks to send money.

I started using PayPal when they first came out - I thought they were great. It was really easy to beam people money, anywhere, anytime. For auction services like Ebay, it made the whole system instantaneous. I could win an auction, pay somebody in 10...

Pros: Credit card acceptance
Cons: Over-zealous security, unfair referral system, slow withdrawal of funds

PayPal is a great idea whose time has come. This is demonstrated by the large number of sign-ups that PayPal has generated. I was among those lucky enough to be paid $10 upon joining + $10 for each referral, prior to PayPal being bought by X.com. Even...

Pros: Fast, secure method of making payments online, $5 bonus
Cons: Occasional site problems

My introduction to the ease of PayPal resulted from my addiction to a particular dinnerware pattern. I was high bidder in an auction, and the seller accepted PayPal. I'd always hated the wait for checks to clear! This was an opportunity to get my items...

Pros: Fast money transactions!
Cons: none

I am the type that really enjoys bidding on auctions,winning,and paying for my winnings with Paypal. I ran into paypal 4 months ago while one of the auctions I won had a PayPal banner on the page. I registered with PayPal and they put $5.00 in my new...

Pros: Use the $5 for a F R E E lunch!
Cons: Cost!

I've decided after two years to re-write my review of the PayPal service. Initially, I had completed maybe 20 or 30 transactions using PayPal and I was happy with the service. In the original e-pinion, I mentioned that it was cheap and free. I said that...

Pros: Simplifies sending money to people.
Cons: You have to HOPE that your information is really secure!

Several months ago, I read on Epinions about a site called PayPal. Everyone seemed to be raving about this service, so with much hesitation I signed up too.

To do so, you must enter lots of personal information, which made me pretty nervous....

Pros: I have money waiting for me that maybe some day I can receive
Cons: No customer service, no reasonable time frame, basically everything

I started using PayPal because my friend owed me money and was out of checks. He sent me a message that said he'd dropped the money in an account for me. Now all I had to do was go, start up an account, add a credit card, and then I could get the...

Pros: ideal for online auctioners, indispensable for us 'foreigners' dealing with the US
Cons: previously had a 'chequered' reputation, only deals in US $

Right this is for all of you who buy and sell in Internet auctions - or take part in any of the Web rewards programs - Pay to Surf, read email etc etc. Paypal is a MUST !

You must have seen the logo while you have been browsing an Auction...

Pros: Very easy when it works
Cons: Quite expensive, and "policy updates" happen almost bimonthly

I initially opened an account to pay an auction. and forgot about it. In November I received an email from Paypal telling me that "Today, users can instantly and securely send money to any email user in the U.S. or to select countries internationally....
