I have many years and hundreds and hundreds of Paypal transactions under my belt, and every one of them have gone flawlessly. As a seller, I look forward to Paypal buyers getting the transaction over with quickly, and as a buyer, I skip over many auctions because the sellers do not accept Paypal.
I hear people complain about eBay and Paypal, all I can say is, don't use them. Cancel your account with both, turn off your computer and go ride your bike. For me, ebay has made it possible because of a busy work schedule to enjoy collecting at any time of day. Paypal allows me not to hassle with going to the Post Office and standing in line to buy a money order.
My question is why don't more people take Paypal. Why wouldn't they? Are there really masses of people afraid that eBay or Paypal will steal there money? Give me a break. Every time we whip out our credit card at the grocery store we leave ourselves open to fraud. It really comes down to protecting yourself with changing passwords and pin #'s often.
You can add suck.com to pretty much any major line of whatever and chances are you will come up with some disgruntled customer. A few years ago I typed in schwinnsucks.com and sure enough there was a website. Guess who owned it....one of the other "big 3" in the industry. (it has since been taken down).
My 2 cents worth.
Sorry to Dale to be sooooo far off topic, but I really thought I had to respond.
