Never had a problem using paypal here too. But unfortunately like every other company mistakes do happen, hence those websites. It's a very small minority of users that ever have problems

I've never had a problem with paypal. I know that it has happened, but much worse things have happened with normal credit cards IMO...

I never had a problem using paypal. I find that for some online merchants, it really is the only way.

I have my paypal account linked to my credit card. I imagine if anything 'wrong' was put through,I could dispute it.

Some cards are geared towards the online shopper with extra protection, including but not limited too disposible one time use card #'s.

We use PayPal as our payment processor at vBadvanced and really haven't had any problems. The only complaint I have is that they don't offer seller protection unless you are selling physical goods and can show them a shipping receipt.

Been using paypal for several years and I too have no seriouscomplaints. I also use 2CheckOut for straight CC processing, but wouldrather use paypal. 2CheckOut takes a nice commision and they seem to dothings without out consulting me first. Things like giving refundswithout my knowledge, or sending out emails to my customers that haveno regards to what my customers purchased.
