Since the demand fir eBay has got higher they have pushed u into using them so everyone uses them and that's the only real way you can send money quick. It does take the Piss! Wish there was sumthin else! I refuse to use paypal and do bank transfer instead! Little longer but it's free

Yeah, one of the supposed reason to use paypal is for thier "protection", but its worth shite, ive sent money for things in the past but never recieved the items, tried to claim my money back and never got a penny back, even though paypal found in my favour!!

Have they changed thier policies recently? I used to get charged to transfer the money from my paypal account to my bank account (which I though took the piss big time), but they dont appear to do that now, I think they just charge you more for the privellege (if you can call it that!!!) for using paypal!

Think im gonna close my paypal account, and just go the old fashioned way of taking payment by cheque, cash or bank transfer.

Paypal is a con (http://paypalsucks.com)

Old fashioned methods work best, thats why they are still around.

Wish Ebay would allow GooglePay, but they won't for obvious reasons

any company that opens up and becomes paypals competition, gets paid by them to close down, hence why paypal dominate this sector of business.

its unlikely that there will be anything better after paypal, because ebay also own paypal.
