I have been with them since almost day 1. Never have had a problem,they stand behind me on sales. Read the horror stories from other people but don't have any personal ones.

Ditto that...

I have never had any probs with PayPal, but proceed with caution. I follow through on ALL my auctions and make sure buyers are happy with every item I sell; thus, I have never had a grievance filed, so I've never had to deal with that mess. Depending on an individual's business practices, YMMV.

I have been using them for a few years with no problem. I did get a new credit card with a fairly low limit that I only use for paypal just in case, but no problems, no complaints.

I have never seen the wind but I know that it exists.

You could spend the rest of your life reading about paypal problems, they exist in overwhelming numbers. Run some searches.

For the casual user it is of little concern. Specify payment from a bank account on any transaction large enough to be concerned. Accept no credit card payments for any amount that you are not prepared to lose.

Try this link for some hardcore paypal and ebay users.

Get your own credit card merchant account, Wells Fargo has the best program I've seen.

I used Total Merchant Services because they gave me a $20,000 per transaction limit opposed to WF's $5000.

And there is Cap1suks.com (capitol 1) and Amerexsux.com (american express) and BACSUCKS.com (bank of america) and on and on and on so because there is a web site for Pay Pal it means it's gospel

Hey there is even Mercedes Sucks
