Goodbye paypal!

Been using Paypal forever, 10 years maybe? They have incredibly good service, security, and reliability. Perhaps the error here is RTFM. 

I am glad you have not had any problems with paypal, but I get much better service with my cc companies.

Agree with operator here, PayPal has burned me twice. My credit card was the saving grace and able to get my money back.  

Plus, when things go south with PayPal, they put hold on your funds whereas credit card companies issue a temporary credit until matter is resolved. 

Indeed, PayPal isn't without it's problems. Although it does depend if you're unfortunate to deal with a moron.

Paypal isn't perfect and if it has means to strip you off it will and BIG.
They're big and invincible and not honest so the precautions MUST be taken. 

NEVER provide paypal with personal banking info or major credit cards. Use prepaid cards and it's credentials to verify your account. If the prepaid card has zero balance they won't be able to hold your funds

ALWAYS move funds away ASAP and NEVER roll large funds active on paypal. It will trigger them to hold it for reason or no reason. One of my accounts has indefinite hold of $93. 

Have few paypal accounts to manipulate funds in-out and 'turn on' one that is available and 'working' to receive funds if sold something
