Positive & Professional
PayPal has been a reliable and convenient platform for managing online payments. Transactions are fast, and the interface is user-friendly. I especially appreciate the buyer protection feature, which adds an extra layer of security when shopping online. Overall, it’s a trustworthy service for both personal and business use.

Terrible dispute resolution
Seller sent empty box, PayPal sided with them despite photo evidence. Lost $180. Will use credit card chargebacks directly in future.

Holds funds without warning
PayPal froze my account for 21 days with no explanation. Eventually resolved but very stressful. Works fine for normal transactions but be careful with large amounts.
