lol if you tell a paypal customer service guy you can't wait to see bitcoin destroy their company your account gets suspended for suspicious activity. at least mine did about 10 minutes after i hung up the call.
Hahahaha. That's so professional on Paypal's part! But I can't even imagine how badly it sucks to work in Paypal support. Here you have one representative dealing with a bitcoin incident:  |

Getting any type of response from PayPal is a miracle. Their support is non-existant.

Paypal is one of the most hated companies in America. A few years ago, someone threw a bomb on their doorstep. Unfortunately, it only caused a superficial damage.

I'm very glad that bitcoin is now taking some of their market share. |

Typical Government
You don't get to play the game unless we let you. Oh by the way we only let our friends play the game and you're not important enough to be our friend.
Looks Paypal is trying to be flexible but it's just not worth it to try working with them. We should focus on systems and infrastructure that allow us to function outside of their sandbox. They should be asking us to play our game.

I doubt that PayPal will ever adopt bitcoin, they don't want to promote it as more people will realise thay they can avoid PayPal altogether and not pay a 3% transaction fee. I don't know... People still use AOL, even though it's completely unnecessary. No matter how common bitcoin gets, there will still be many (probably old) people who don't understand it well enough to buy coins direct and will happily use paypal to send bitcoin payments. Also, the word will get out eventually--paypal might as well make a few bucks along the way. It won't earn them any less than doing nothing. |

I suppose Paypal is hiring ex-NSA employees and the like, and outsources work to mental institutions, too.
Luckily there is bitmit.

Paypal have a murky history of saddling up besides 'authorities', so this statement comes as nothing short of standard behaviour expected from this outfit I favor boycotting  |

Guys, stop using PayPal.
Have you ever noticed that simple things are being destroyed or changed by dumb owners?

IMHO, using Paypal for any kind of cryptocurrency related transaction is just too risky. Both the sender's and the receiver's accounts could be locked for up to 180 days simply by attempting a single transaction. I have had a Paypal account for years and it is simply not worth the risk to use it for crypto. My $.02.  |

using paypal for ANYTHING is just bad news. unfortunately, i currently sell on ebay and it is currently my best option.
if i had a choice, i wouldn't use visa/mastercard/paypal. it seems like their business model is to get big, destroy competition (or limit it to an oligopoly), and then charge exorbitant rates.
when i sell something on ebay, i have to subtract the 15% that goes to ebay to calculate whether it's even worth selling at all. that is a ridiculous fee to charge considering what they provide, and that # is only going to get higher and higher.

I am using Craigslist and ebay classifides (Free) and am having great success. I eventually sell everything I list with no comebacks. I do sell autos on ebay motors at which site sellers are allowed to specify things like wire transfers, which is the only way that I will accept payment other than cash in hand. My $.02.  |
