PayPal

Pros: free
Cons: they would steal your money too!

I bought a $350 product through PayPal (along with about 1,200 other people that got taken in by this scam). I asked
for a refund on the product since it hadn't shipped, and was told they wouldn't give me one, and to file a fraud report with
...

Pros: Free, They Verify Physical Addresses
Cons: Very Very Untrustworthy, and criminal in my experience. Actual name is X.com. Criminal

Paypal's interface is very tricky. Now that I am a victim, I am more careful. When I last used Paypal, I take screenshots of EVERY screen of EVERY transaction. Funds I took out of my Paypal balance, (I had $150 over the amount I was withdrawing), were...

Pros: Do everything you can with an expensive merchant account.
Cons: Now affiliated with ebay, tries to act like bad credit agency.

I first got into ebay about 4 years ago when they were small, fair, and back when you could actually get good deals on things. I noticed alot of people using paypal back then, so I of course joined as well. I absolutely loved the service! I could accept...

Pros: Fast, safe way to spend online money.
Cons: None that I know of!

I hate to say it, but in this case, if it sounds too good to be true, it just might be true! I have had NO problems with Paypal.com at all, and I've used it to both "beam" and "be beamed" money. For me, this is the online auction...

Pros: Save time, money, stamps & envelopes!
Cons: Not everyone belongs YET.

This is a long-winded comment to Rpllingrock's review of PayPal, "My Wife Should be CEO of PayPal":
First of all, I don't really think your wife bought Kermit the Frog canisters, and if she did you have bigger things to worry about than...

Pros: They pay you!
Cons: You can spend it really quickly!

They give you $10. I just love these sites that give you money. It's so honest that they want to buy my patronage. It gets even better than that, they want to buy my friends too! Sure, I'm more than happy to offer up my friends at $10 per referral....

Pros: EASY, Fast, Allows you to take credit cards.
Cons: High fees for incoming money if Premier account.

How I started
I first signed up to get the free $5 they used to offer with initial signup. I figured I would never use the service but it couldn't hurt to sign up. Then I noticed the "Pay Pal" link on an...

Pros: fast and easy
Cons: takes about 10 days to get account activated!

I enrolled in paypal to help my customers save time and money. I hate having to go get a money order to pay for an auction! By using paypal not only do i save money by not having to buy money orders but i save on postage too! By being able to pay with...

Pros: honest, trustable, intuitive user interface
Cons: slow payout, having to give a credit card

Yes, I admit it. I too signed up for PayPal because they offered me a free $5 and I almost never turn down free money. I was a little concerned about giving them my credit card number, but I have a credit card that I use only for on-line shopping and...

Pros: Fast pay for seller, fast ship for buyer
Cons: You must have a credit card

Not too long ago I cleaned out my closets and jewelry boxes and decided to list a few items for sale on Ebay. I didn't want the hassle of taking personal checks for payment, so I signed up for a FREE account at PayPal. I'm still trying to figure out...

Pros: User Friendly, Easy to use, reliable
Cons: n/a

PayPal is a great service for anyone. Especially for those that sell in online auctions and buyers who buy on these auctions. This is the reason I first started using PayPal was beacause I sell online and buy also. It's easier to pay people off with this...

Pros: Fast, Free, Easy,
Cons: None

Paypal is exactly what online auctions needed! I buy and sell on ebay quite often, especially this time of year. As a buyer, I was always frustrated at the amount of time it took to get the item I won. As a seller, I was always frustrated at the time...

Pros: Move money like you send e-mail
Cons: Not a global service

I first got hooked up with X.com and then I got introduced to Paypal.com and then they merged not long after. The service is terrific. I have used Paypal to pay for my purchases at eBay. Works great. You get to move money like you were firing off e-mail....

Pros: Great Service Accurate a new and innovative way to send cash
Cons: None

You've got cash!!! Thats sweetness to my ears, and its all thanks to paypal.com

Paypal.com is a division of X.com financial services. Paypal.com provides money transfers from person to person all via email. Its easy to sign up, and get started...

Pros: Fast, efficient, and friendly.
Cons: Only draw back is the cost to sellers.

I first tried Paypal as a buyer from Ebay. The sign up process was easy and convenient. Paypal does not charge you for sending money to someone. After a month of using Paypal as just my source to pay others I decided I would also accept Paypal as my...
