Paypal is not a scam but they have had a history of horrible customer support. Also, it is not suitable for selling bitcoins for paypal since paypal does not protect the sellers.
that's a long time ago dude. paypal improve their service since that happen. paypal offering to refund your money just report it to them and they will look out on your report. and their security is suite in every ways but i wish that they will ask some 2nd verification life texting the code on your mobile if someone accessing your account for more secure transaction. many paypal accounts is being hack because of those online shopping website which has no best security. but today i don't use paypal like back in the days. i prefer to use bitcoin to send and received money right now Smiley

Every monopoly is somekinda scam, you can still safely use paypal but,
never ever go all into it. you cannot know what is going to happen in future.

Ya i also agree with you.Just use it if only necessarry.Don save too much money on paypal.Withdraw it to our bank account when we don wan use that fund.Many seller has complain about paypal because of reversed fund.
I think there will be no problem using paypal when you obey the rules and regulations and you've secured your account with nice, PayPal is a trusted company they will not be a scam

yes! Just read the rules and regulations of paypal in thier terms and condition before saving money on this site. for me, paypal is not a scam. but be careful also, even in other wallets on virtual world, please be careful and be aware. there's no perfect site so i think they just have a bit of glitch on their website.

That's not always true. There are plenty of people that had their funds frozen while they didn't do anything against their policies. I personally know a few people that used to offer their coding skills to people in return for payments through PayPal. These people had their balance frozen numerous times while they didn't do anything wrong.

The only word that PayPal gave them after un-freezing their balances, was that investigations turned out that nothing illegal or against their policies has happened. No sorry, or whatever. But in the meantime, they couldn't access the money that they needed to pay bills with since coding is a big part of their total income. Ridiculous. Good thing is that they now accept Bitcoin too, but through a payment provider that converts their coins directly to fiat. Either way, they ditched PayPal.

Then I guess you were either lucky or you were just transacting with people that have a good reputation to maintain. People gets scammed a lot when using Paypal because that was the intention of the person they were dealing with in the first place. But who knows, they do have 180 days to dispute their payments so I'd say it's still early to celebrate. It's very easy to claim that their account was hacked and they didn't do that transaction nor did they receive anything from you.

I think paypal is not scam. Maybe thre are some cases of funds that being froze, msybe there are some rules in paypal that theh hsd violate. I am using paypal so many years from now but all of my transactions was pretty fine with them. I had buy a lot of things using paypal. Using paypal is a big help to me. And before i knew bitcoins i am using paypal on my investment.

You are lucky you live in a PayPal supported country. Lots of people do not live in such countries (like me for instance), and that is why bitcoin seems like a very good alternative.

absolutely right, I think paypal is not a scam. well, i also use paypal, just use the paypal payment is more complicated than others. I think because paypal has been recognized as the best online bank, so I think the fair when its use is very complicated and very many rules that must be fulfilled.

I use PayPal for many years and I have never had any problems with him. Despite the disturbing news I continue to use this payment system. I feel so comfortable

You are lucky if you have never had any problem with Paypal for all this time you have been with them. Sometimes it just happens that the person that you are dealing with on the other end is not honest. The moment he raises a complain with Paypal in regard to your transaction, that will be the start of your problems with them. Pray that you deal with honest people only.

I have used paypal for around 6 months to sell over 100 eBay products, overall paypal are not bad, but the worst thing about them is that they can freeze your account at any time.
The only problem I had with them that one time someone had made a chargeback against me and they just accepted it without asking for any proof so I ended up staying without both the item and the money.

This is the first time i see something against paypal reputation, something they are its honest, they follow each rule from each country, that make them the example to follow, even with huge fees, paypal has build their image, sure the chargeback and frozen funds they sometimes does makes the most panic but as long you dont break the rules you will be fine.

You are right I also believe they are not scam they need to follow rules and they are not going to hurt you its just because of all regulation policies in different countries they have very good history and they are still doing some very good work right now

Paypal and bitcoin are both useful and they are not scam at all.Otherwise people will not support and use it.

Once again, questions about scams in payment systems. I wonder who needs such a thought in the minds of users. What are the objectives and who pursues them. It seems that there is a malicious intent.

The lack of dynamics and reduced trading volumes even more remarkable because it comes at a time when commodity markets, especially oil, under pressure. In many ways, the fact that the amount of Bitcoins known and limited, it can be attributed to goods

of course, PayPal is not scam until now still people using PayPal to buy games or something else. But for now PayPal like disappear because much people move to find bitcoin which the price is growing up and have some benefits. it is only my opinion.
