Is Paypal a scam?

[hajimasan]

I have had an issue with Paypal and while I was trying to look for a solution on the internet, I came across this website (https://www.consumeraffairs.com/online/paypal_02.html) where everybody is complaining about Paypal. Most of the complains were actually similar to the one that I have. I thought Paypal is a credible company but now I have started feeling worried about my funds stuck in the accounts.

In actual PayPal is not scam , most of the times problem take place from our side but sometimes a small bug Result into bad experience for us .
Here most of the times people does two type of mistake . First type is to have proper details of the account hodler , if there is small mistake of the account holder and if in any case he will pay money and in case of any change of the details during payment gateway , they decline the payment or hold that amount of money to stop any type of scam .
And second type of mistake is that the most of the times when people create account then they select business account instead of personal/individual and when they recieve payment then company will ask for the full KYC buisiness verification .
So better to try PayPal with small amount of money in very starting as a demo .

I once sold something to somebody who paid through paypal, and they did a charge back. I won the case, but for some reason I still wasn't supposed to get the money back. But I called, and they actually gave me my money back since it wasn't my fault.

Just weird that a person can do a charge back and you won't get your money even if you win.

Paypal does everything to protect the buyers, so it's not so good for sellers to accept PayPal as a payment method since they can't have enough rights to protect their goods before scammers. No one wants to waste time with some stupid support tickets.

Anyway, Paypal is a good way to send money internationally since the fee is quite cheap.

Well, this had nothing to do with the protecting the buyer. The decision was the buyer's bank's decision, and they determined that he was in the wrong.

Paypal isn't trick and I think the explanation behind that is one can't be absolutely great and furthermore can't be absolutely awful as despite everything they have some favorable position over Bitcoin as in they a help board that control exercises and can take care of issues you have in regard of misrepresentation and the preferences and that has been an or more on their part. On the other hand, I think the issue really begins by not perusing in points of interest the terms and conditions or the guidelines overseeing the utilization of the administration in this way you disrupt a norm unconsciously and the control is the run for a locales with extensive measure of client then they are rapidly to release you on the off chance that you so wish. So it is anything but a trick yet the standards are simply excessively inflexible for a significant number of individuals.

Paypal is not a website that will scam you, but maybe because its a long process will make you think that paypal scam. You must be patient if you want to use paypal because every transaction definitely requires the process.

I think he's just confused about PayPal and probably think it's a new company. Because common sense would tell you that such a huge company would not survive, have customers, if their thing was scamming customers out of money.

They do not actually scam users for their money but there are some serious issues with it. For instance, they are famous for banning accounts without any solid reason. They then hold the payments or completely deny it. There are many shad activities as well like when balance goes to negative, they will send money collectors to your home.

Only reason they are so much popular is that they do not have a good competition.
