Is Paypal a scam?

[choppork]

i dont see paypal to be a scam thats why so many companies have adopted to use it as its an established brand and trusted payment system

Their service might not be a scam or anything but their policy has flaws. Flaws that are getting abused by a lot of users. Some people might not even a scammer before but have found out about the dispute system and so they dispute their payments and get their money back. Basically Paypal has become a territory of scammers. Even eBay users are complaining about this feature.

If you're a seller, you would understand my point and you would stop accepting Paypal as payment ASAP.

yes i am agree with you, paypal have a good history in the past, we can see that people in out there will use paypal as their payment to buy and sell the product with low fee. and i think its impossible or hard if we see that paypal is scam, unless you use paypal for an illegal activity.

Paypal is a reputable company even with their high fees associated to their service they follow each rules each country does have, soo if you loose money at them its your fault. Paypal is connected to honest merchants as well companies that provides their service, its very hard to see paypal supporting scams or any unrealistic project like hyyip.

Wait the can put your funds on hold? I don't have an account yet but I'm considering making one since I got accepted into a transcribing site. Unfortunately they only pay through Paypal. Would have been nice if I would just send the payment directly to my bitcoin wallet.

Yep, they usually put the payment on hold for verification and validation purposes. Been through all those 15-day shit period in which you won't be able to use your own money because they are 'verifying' the transaction on the other party that paid you the said amount. I understand it's for security reasons, but for 2-3 weeks? That's a pain in the ass for people in the fast lane.

I really heat any kind of bank whether it was PayPal or any other virtual bank , they are so easy to hack so there is no safety using it , i got my PayPal hacked a while ago and i tried to contact their service and they didn't even respond , luckly for me i didn't have a lot on that account because i exchanged all my funds into bitcoin.

paypal is the most trusted payment system on online industry and I'm proud because paypal has a secured in all aspects. ive been using this for a long time for my transaction online and it didn't be a scam . when I'm applying for a paypal account they need to verify it so ive put my credit card on it . after that my account has been verified its so easy i think it takes 1 day before my account get verified.

I don't think that paypal is a SCAM , But I've heard some rumors about scam issue but so far I've its working smoothly   

It's working smoothly only in first world countries. In many countries, it is hell to just have your money back to you after getting it from a different country. I am not saying that it is ridiculous mainly coz what can be used for good, can also be used for something really bad. But the rules for making an account limited should be less negative. 

I am hearing for the first time that paypal discriminate people according to developed and developing countries i think the rules are same for everyone and people in America do get their accounts frozen so does people from third world countries if they think something is fishy.

This might not be the case, though not on the basis of developed versus developing countries. As I know it, PayPal operating in some country is required to follow local laws, and these laws obviously differ between jurisdictions. Therefore, some actions which are considered illegal in one state or country, for example, selling weed, may be considered as perfectly legit in other countries.

Frankly, it was your carelessness that has got your account hacked. Maybe your password wasn't secure, you used the same password as your password in other website, your pc or mobile phone has virus or keylogger in it, etc. Regardless of what was the reason, it was your fault and not the website's fault.

If Paypal accounts are easy to hack because the website's database is easy to access, then people should've stopped using Paypal already. People should be ranting all around social media and forum sites. But right now, I'm not seeing any except you.

He has wrong to contact the paypal he can call them into phone that actually you talk with their customer support..
Honestly i am halving problem also in their service but it is not the case because they are contacting me after posting a question and email them..  they can fix a soon as possible.. there is  mistake from people who are using paypal that they are also using the password to register in other website that can easily hack our paypal..

Of course paypal is not scam, it have dumb rules but they don't scam

Well PayPal has serviced many users online and it has proven itself over the years. But their current security system that locks your fund if they detect transaction problems is not good due to their poor support system. Just this day a group in Facebook are debating that PayPal is a scam, well I am not sure of that but I have fear that possibly PayPal will just stop without us knowing since bitcoin has negative impacts on their sales.

Yes, PayPal is good and effective in many cases and serviced many users. But their is complications in their system. Many fraud cases occured, and they are not 100% successful  in solving those cases. Also their are many regulations by Country, so they are not fully funtional and hassle free for some countries. They are not scam, But it has some serious issues as well as benefits.

There is actually no scam the problem is the issue or someone are not enough of giving a real proof if someone are starting a case for refund.
They are just securing people to deal to someone that is why we have resolution case,
But even they are almost very secure  they can be still experience of wrong decision..

i do not think that Paypal is scamming because paypal is very popular and great service for online shopping and i think that there is people against of paypal and they want to spread wrong news about paypal.

Yikes. That would really suck if you're receiving your salary via Paypal (ex. online only jobs). I guess this is why employers should start paying more in Bitcoins. Then we'd only use Paypal for shopping.

If employers paying their employees' salary with bitcoin then they must overcome the volatility. The only effective way for them is to exchange the fiat to bitcoin at the same time when they're going send it to their employees. But, unfortunately, if they have so many employees this thing can't be done just in few hours which is really a problem if they're going to pay their employees with bitcoin

paypal certainly will not do scamming. they are a very large company. maybe they could harm you like freeze your account or something. You just need to make contact with cs
and if your money is missing from paypal account. it could have you paypal account has been hacked, because paypal has a fairly poor security
