I have had a ton of issues with paypal and it only gets worse. Customer service sucks and they do not care that you are a customer. I have been a customer for 10+ years and get treated like dirt every time I call. It takes hours to get ahold of someone who even knows anything and you're still lucky to get any help. I have talked to 7 people in the last two days and only one seem concerned. I refuse to give paypal any more of my money.

There are alternatives and if you google you will find quite a lot.

 

BUT if you are using ebay then you can't refuse paypal.

 

Also if you want buyers then to be honest paypal is what they want to use.

 

As a buyer myself i would not send money to a stranger without paypal buyer protection.

 

You could try using sites that are for local pickup only and accept cash?

That is BS. This advisor is a rude person and lies like crazy. Everybody who uses paypal is quickly learning what a terrible service it is. I haven't looked for alternatives yet but I'm about to start. This was my first experience with paypal, and it's been 10 days and money isn't in my bank yet. My sister sent me $200 on the 8th, it got here on the 15th. I sent it to my bank on the same day, it still isn't there.

 

This company is really displaying what I believe to be bad business ethics. This is unacceptable in the 21st century. So to be honest, I will never again use a service that requires paypal, including ebay. My paypal account is closing as soon as I get my money, and I'm letting everyone know what a pile of junk this service is.

The alternative to PayPal is a Merchant Account. I been using "E-onlinedata" since mid-Nov 2015 and I like it. Theres no contract. They charge transaction fee: Domestic/Int'l fee 2.9% + $0.30. Whereas PP Domestic is 2.9% + $0.30 & Int'l is 3.9% + $0.30. There CS acts much more professional than PP ever did.

 

I agree. The supervisor I spoke to back in Nov was rude, unprofessional and a complete **bleep**. He didn't care if I was a member for 10 years or made his company thousands of dollars per year. They treated me like another #.

 

Since ebay and PP split last year, ebay has been looking to add new alternative payment systems. The agent I spoke to back in Nov said, there looking to add: Square, Braintree, Apply/Android Pay, Bitcoin and there very own design that will be similar to PP (hopefully not rude cs).
