I had a terrible experience with them. Not only are there cheaper options to send my money overseas, but also much safer. Actually, I never was delighted about this payment service, but before there weren’t any alternatives. Glitched, too complicated verification, just had to do it. Still, carry on using paypal, after other e-wallets, like skrill popped up. It changed one day, when I sent my money, like always. And guess what it never delivered to the accepting side. I wonder where this money goes, not a large amount, anyway, money is money. Everything for good, I will never use it again.

Knowing the fact that there are many payment aggregators over there, with much better commission and lags, I think paypal loses this competition. But, the thing that saves them, is the integration with many service providers, as well as ability to send money internationally, better than bank wires, this I gotta admit. I don`t know, but they should work on their prices, to make them great again…

Old but not outdated. Still used universally and helps me out in situations when cards are no way to go. It is a very needed service. Now about frustrations. Paypal is becoming another instrument which is obsessed with collecting private data and acting on this information, for example, freezing peoples’ accounts. and support takes weeks to resolve it. impossible sometimes.

timeless payment solution and it remains to be one of the most secure. i dunno about particular nubmers how many users Paypal has and so on and so forth, but I do not think it's crucial. the main is that paymnts are seamless and instant. the interface is pleasing to the eye and you do not need to spend a lot of time trying to make a transfer. it's really a matter of several minutes and clicks.

Musk's kid... Awesome payment platform. It's noticeable that it was developed specifically with the aim to ease payments for people. I don't really like that they suspend activity in particular countries, one by one, but I am pretty much okay they work in mine one. It's very easy to make payments, transfers and pay for various services. The application doesn't lag, there are no major drawbacks to its work. It's regularly updated which is another highlight. So I want to recommend this payment system.

is convenient for online payments, but the fees can be high, and customer support isn't always helpful. It works well, but there’s room for improvement.

I HAVE GOT CHARGED BY A CANCELLED AUTOMATIC PAYMENT Even though I canceled the automatic payment, I did get charged. AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS SCREEN HARD TO FIND The automatic payments screen is not easy to find! GOOD FOR BUYERS You have 180 days refund policy in case you have problems with your payment. CUSTOMER SERVICE HARD TO CONTACT It´s really challenging to talk or communicate with a human, you always get automatic replies. ACCOUNT RECHARGE NOT WORKING I recharged the account with my bank, two times. Each time I had to wait one week to see the payment bouncing back. Calling customer support, they can´t help and say that there is nothing they can do.

I don't recommend to use PayPal or use it but don't hold too much money in it. It's company that can ban you for nothing, you can try to reach support but in 90% of cases that won't help. If you can, avoid using PayPal, got that from my first experience.

I have my own business and guess which payment system helps me to connect with buyers. Yeah, you are right this is the Paypal system. When I was starting my business I didn’t have a lot of customers and then suddenly people started ordering my goods online and I implemented Paypal for making transactions to my customers. I think this system is a MUST HAVE for all low cap business companies. It was a good decision to choose Paypal as a payment option. Transactions are safer and faster than other usual banking transactions. However, fees for international transactions are quite expensive to be honest.

Paypal is one of the best payment systems in the world and thank god they still exist nowadays, you can believe it or not. I have worked with many payment operators and none of them were not suitable for my requirements. I’m using Netflix, spotify, amazon tv, apple icloud and many other products and all the subscriptions I’m paying through Paypal. If I need to order something from Alibaba, shopify, I’m also using Paypal, I mean with this payment system everybody literally can pay for everything from any corner of the world. Of course, it was a challenge to understand how everything works but it is worth it to learn how to use it.
Helpful
It's fantastic that they have remained one of the biggest financial operators after so many years in the industry. Even though I feel their service is now being surpassed by some competitors who have revolutionized international transfers with new and innovative features, having a PayPal account is still a necessity. It's somehow the gold standard in the neobank industry.

Classical payment solution established by an infamous Ilon Musk. Everything is okay about it. Since I began transferring funds using paypal, I didn't put security of funds at a doubt. Maybe initially I was hesitant a bit, but it was just a temporary feeling. Right after I withdrew money I got for freelancing activity to my bank card, I understood that there was nothing to be scared of. Application works stably, nothing is wrong, if needed, one can easily reach out to customer support. They are reliable and amiable.

Recently downloaded app to my phone because a friend of mine recommended it. And you know, I am grateful to him for such a recommendation. All money transactions are quite fast. And at the same time application has convenient interface. And the most main thing is that everything I need to do I can do directly in smartphone. Interface and functionality of application is excellent!

Paypal is one of the worst companies ever. Never trust anything that these fucking criminals do. Every time I tried to sign in, they would ask me to log in with a mobile number. Now they have locked me out of my account because I have no mobile number. They stole all of the money I had in my Paypal balance. Companies like this need to start being fined and banned for requiring a mobile phone number. They just want users to give them a mobile phone number so they can sell it and spam it with ads.

I still do not understand why people use Paypal, they have such huge commissions, which write off from the recipient, that is, you send one amount, but in fact comes another! Why did they decide to take 6% of the amount?
