Folks,
To all of you who believe Paypal is a rip-off I say this to you.
All forms of payment work well when both parties are trustworthy and without
a hidden agenda that includes ripping off the other person.
Paypal is the best method that can be used to transact a sale of
goods/services when the parties can not meet face-to-face to complete the
deal. AND Paypal does offer some forms of security for both buyer and
seller. Other methods of payment offer no form of security, i.e. paper
instruments such as checks offer no security if the check, money order or
cashier's check is bad. Cash offers no security if it is counterfeit. The
only form of payment that is somewhat secure is bank transfers of funds.
Once payment is in your account, the other party can not unilaterally have
it returned for any reason.
And to keep this post on topic I will just say that I have used Paypal for
many years, to sell tower parts and other ham related items and have never
had an issue with their policies. Not only that, but once a few years ago,
their protection policies help be regain my funds back from a seller with
unscrupulous intentions.
So if a deal went bad and Paypal was used as the method of payment; chances
are it would have gone bad if any other method of payment was used.
JMHO,
Jim

>Paypal and ebay are related businesses.
In our business, we initially had everyone mail us a check. Then we added
paypal. Then paypal added the ability for customers to use credit cards
without having to have a paypal account. Worked great. Still does.
Then we added a regular credit card merchant account through our bank. The
fees were beyond ridiculous so after a few years we dumped it and went back
to using paypal exclusively. We process over $20,000 per month through
paypal and have had no problems for the decade we've been using paypal. Our
overall experience with paypal has been quite good.
