I've had numerous problems with PayPal. I'd be writing pages if I were to go into detail. I'll say this though, PayPal is out to protect the buyer, not the seller. If you're selling something, expect them to make you jump through a lot of hoops, and hold you're money when you're done selling. To top it off, they keep a good chunk of it. I had an instance where a buyer said they had not received the item. Despite, having delivery confirmation and having the package insured, PayPal sided with the dishonest buyer, took the money out of my bank (over $1000), and refunded it to the buyer. I'm confident he received his product. PayPal said get the money from from the Post Office for the product (insured), and the Post Office said get the money from PayPal because it was delivered. When you call to speak with someone, they put you on hold for a very long time, and then give you an attitude. I truly avoid using it if I can. It's more a hassle and not worth the trouble. Maybe if you're one of those guys who have an ebay business, it might be worth it, but if you're a guy who sells occasionally, I recommend avoiding PayPal.
