PayPal is subject to all US banking regulatory laws. Why spread misinformation that may or may not have been received second or third hand? I have held a PayPal business Debit Card for over 10 years and never had a problem using it for purchases, using it to take $$ out of my account via ATM or making purchases through my email account with PayPal. I was even scammed as a buyer and all my money was returned to me within 24 hours. The fee they take from you is the same fee that Visa/MC/AMEX & Discover charge their merchants. If you are selling something via PayPal, you are the merchant and pay the fee. I bet that people with problems are in the vast minority. Even your CC Companies aren’t perfect.
Problems with Paypal payment?
Hi folks,
I can't seem to get the Paypal method of payment to connect correctly. Is that no longer supported? Has anyone gotten that to work when the list an item for sale in the last day or so?
I haven't sold on here is a while, so the interface is new to me, but when I get to the part where I have to select payment methods, I can select Paypal, but then a popup window opens and nothing happens...
Any advice?

The PayPal fee is 2.9% charged to the seller only. Where did you come up with 6%? https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/paypal-fees |
There are sufficient numbers of PayPal horror stories to make the seller beware. Those who have been burned will gladly share their stories. It is not unheard of the disgruntled buyer can get his money back and not have to return the product. Its wise to check and confirm buyer feedback, and make a personal contact on big $$ sales. It only takes one bad apple. I have a local person who only deals in cash and in person from the welt he endured from PayPal. |
