Why PayPal?

[A2Z]

Paypal, the pal you pay.

I absolutely hate them.

Had numerous accounts limited/closed in previous years. One reason why I no longer use eBay, their loss!

Never had an issue, also unless you are new you don't have to use PayPal to recieve payment on ebay.

For making payments there's is zero issue with PayPal. You don't pay any fees. Link it to visa credit/debit card and you get paypal protection and visa protection.

PayPal Gift is just scam-tastic. You have absolutely no come back if you buy something and pay through Gift and they don't send it.

Personally, I use PayPal and will calculate the fees and pay that little bit extra. I then mark the payment as goods, add details of the item, and then get a tracking number from the seller. If there is any dispute, I get PayPal to sort it all out. Much simpler than if there is any issues with a BT, and completely not an option if you use PP Gift.

Having been burnt out of £200 with a PP Git transaction, I'm happy to pay the 2% extra.

Convenience.
Even use it on this site now they offer it. So much easier than typing in card details all the time.

and now I get to use AMEX when buying from here as well

I prefer Paypal, I can never find my card reader to do a BT.

well the item went for £3 (paypal) as opposed to the £4 (BT) I had offered

That's a whole 25% less earnings due to aversion to bank transfer. In a recession and everything

heh

I wasn't aware the recession had anything to do with it.

It's hard to abuse an email address.

Don't you have to have paypal as a payment method regardless and you are not allowed to refuse payment via paypal if that's what the buyer wants to use?

they were only able to setup the direct debit because clarkson said how to find his address ?

Well obviously, you can't rescind a gift once it's gone. Maybe you should consider not trying to cheat past their fees and gain some resolution capabilities in doing so ?

you don't need to tell someone your name for a bank transfer and that website cant find everybody.

there's multiple matchs for most people and unless you know the names of the people they live with there's no way of knowing who is which

Facebook and Google will help in the search.

It pays to be paranoid.
