I love feeling confident shopping online with Paypal, not worrying about disclosing my bank details constantly.
Though as a casual seller on Ebay, the service fees can be a bit daunting sometimes on small auctions.
Overall, it makes my life better.

I have used PayPal both as a buyer as well as a seller, over the past 4 or so years and on regular occassions. Frankly, I find their commissions rate expensive, their foreign exchange rates are less for the AUD (you pay more than you should for items in US$ and UK pounds). As a buyer I resent paying to use my debit card, but PayPal charge for that. They also have "e-cheque" as a payment type sometimes when debiting my bank account, meaning delays in the seller receiving the cleared funds and therefore the delivery of the purchase.
On the aspect of security, I am reasonably relaxed, however, I have received hoax emails from con artists purporting to be PayPal. When I have reported this to PayPal, they do not do anything other than confirm it is a hoax email. No attempt to trace and prosecute the offenders seems to occur, as further emails from the same mob often arrive subsequently.
In short, I avoid PayPal whenever possible, but sometimes it can't be avoided.

I've used paypal for several years now and find it great for use. Initially I got it to use with ebay and have since appreciated the online businesses that also use paypal. Helpful service when I've had questions and the cost of transactions in $US was a lot better than I was getting with a debit card. I like the security, flexibility and ease of use.

This is so easy to set up and use. I pay for everything I buy on eBay with this and I always feel confident about their security rather than having things linked up to our bank account.

Free to sign up & join. When I make a sale on eBay the money goes straight to my PayPal account & I can transfer my money straight to my account, and it appears in 2-3 working days. Great for ebay

While it is probably the safest method to pay for purchased goods on Ebay, they will not, absolutely will not look outside the box to offer a remedy or assist in a helpful manner with solving your problem.

I purchased 2 new Jackets on Ebay, however received 2 used Jackets, smelly, damaged & old. I immediately contacted the seller who took did not reply, I submitted a complaint & was advised by Ebay to return the goods (which I did).

Even though the goods were returned via registered post & I was able to obtain a copy of the register the seller signed when collecting the item from the Post Office, the seller denied receiving the item & Paypal would not accept the copy of the register. I then provided the staff members name & 13 contact number, Post Office branch number & trading hours, Paypal refused to contact the Post Office & confirm the register was legitimate.

So I was out of pocket for paying for the Jackets & postage to return the Jackets, and of course I didn't have the Jackets.

Each time I called the staff simply read the Policy word for word & could not / would not offer any other assistance, not happy.

As I believe it is not fair that you have to offer Paypal as a form of payment when listing items to sell.

However problem now rectified, I don't use Paypal.

I've been a member of PayPal for over 10 years and I've never had a problem. I find it the safest and most secure way to pay online. It is also great for businesses large and small to accept payments.

I've had fraudulent transactions from credit cards in the past and Paypal gives you that piece of mind you really want when shopping online. The also offer buyers protect. Not everywhere will offer you a guarantee with your purchase like Paypal does!

For anyone who is not yet a Paypal member I can highly recommend it, try it for yourself!

Being new to internet purchasing I feel confident and safe using Paypal. Their email receipts are a great confirmation of my purchases and help to my budgeting records. A great service.

Paypal is one the best and safest ways to pay for items on the net. I have used Paypal for years and never had any problems.
Very Happy with Paypal it makes shopping so much easier and faster for me.
