Is Paypal really the best way to accept payments?

[Claraviolet]

To be honest, I am not sure anymore.
I have a Paypal business account and it doesn't accept any gifts at all. As everything is getting linked to our Social security number, while paying taxes I had mention this amount as well. It's just less than 100$ and yet I had to pay extra tax for it and the reason given was, it's a small business and I will have to pay for maintaining it.

So, I have been thinking of this for a while now. Is Paypal the best way to accept payments for individual transactions? What about gift cards like Amazon gift cards? I am not sure whether I can purchase an Amazon.com gift card when I am in India.

Anyway, what do you all think?

 

[Joshua Farrell]

It really depends on what other payment processors are out being used. Example being, Venmo is owned by Paypal. It is essentially a separate service similar to PayPal, that was bought out by PayPal at one point. I don't know enough of other services to make a comparison on capabilities compared to the standard PayPal use features.

I have a PayPal Plus account, which allows me to not have to keep money in it all the time, like the Business Accounts. And since I live in the U.S., I have recently taken advantage of the Business MasterCard Debit Card, and now have Direct Deposit information to use, if I ever want to switch over entirely to online banking.

 

[Deleted member 403]

I have been using PayPal for many years and once you fully verify your account & lift any limitations, it's one of the best payment processors to use. Withdrawals from the balance are usually instant to your bank, & payments are received within a matter of minutes. PayPal offers buyer protection for goods & services purchased which protects us as consumers.

 

[Lämmchen]

I didn't realize our social security account numbers were given to PayPal? I don't recall giving them mine in the past. But then again my PayPal is not business so is that the difference?

Paying taxes on any money you make is part of working a business. In the US you only have to file a tax return if you made a certain amount of income. When I was making money at home I filed every year regardless because I never wanted it to come back to haunt me but that was my husband's fears getting through to me. I probably didn't have to file at all thinking back on it.

Social Security Numbers usually are given for verification to account upgrades. For example, if one wants an active account without funds in it, upgrading to paypal plus requires a social security number and proof of ID and address.

 

[James]

Yes for me PayPal is best option as it comes with lots of option to takes payments, lower fees/no fees sometime, have 24*7 support. They have buyer and seller protection option means it always high chance to have protection against frauds.

I have had PayPal for many years, until today it has worked perfectly for me, but, for just over a year, I have a second chance with Airtm, and it is very good, apart from the fact that you have options to work on that page and earn money , quietly online. I recommend it, here the link in case you are interested. https://app.airtm.com/ivt/ImGKGzSE

 

[greenie]

In all my life I have only used paypal, so I consider paypal is the best for payments.

I try payeer too but it didn't surprise me at all..

 

[Abigael]

For me, PayPal is the best payment processor out there. I have been using it for so long now and I have never regretted. It may be so strict but when you follow their rules and verify your account, you enjoy so many benefits. I use it to receive payment from many online earning sites and I can easily convert it to my local currency. In my country, the money can be easily withdrawn to a mobile wallet account known as Mpesa which makes it so convenient. Moreover, it only takes minutes for you to receive your local money from PayPal to Mpesa.

 

[Kris_Cooper]

PayPal, is the safest way to transfer and accept money. All you have to do is verify it properly and legally and you're good to go.

 

[Anis Boukezzoula]

of course, Paypal is the best wallet ever although the high fees but still special to the others due to the high degree of safety (you can send, receive, shop... with any problem and risk of a hack).

 

[Niftyyem]

Paypal is not available to receive funds in my country, so I would not know how good it is. My best are Cryptos and payeer.

 

[ahmedo24]

I could say it is one of the best payment system I have seen ,this is based on the reviews I have read about the system because it is not available for full usage in my country .

 

[Josemendez]

People like us that are from low tier country. There is no PayPal option for us to receive payment. We can't only send out PayPal to people but can't receive.

 

[ahmedo24]

People like us that are from low tier country. There is no PayPal option for us to receive payment. We can't only send out PayPal to people but can't receive.

It is a technical way to limit us completely because it difficult to send money when you can't receive, how can such account be funded to enable it to send.

 

[Bookwormlux]

PayPal is reliable and trusted. I do not find it convenient though because there are restrictions on my country and I can only send payment and not receive.

 

[Josemendez]

It is a technical way to limit us completely because it difficult to send money when you can't receive, how can such account be funded to enable it to send.

With respect to this , you can add money with the help of credit cards .

 

[WhiteHouse]

PayPal is still the best, yeah there services may not be fully functional everywhere but places where they are they are really worth it.
PayPal is fast, safe and secured

 

[Nurudeen]

PayPal is still the best company to rely on when it comes to online payment. There are other means though but PayPal is still the best

 

[MizzLala]

Personally, I'm very, very happy with PayPal. I've used it exclusively for YEARS now and have only ever had one complaint in all that time. Because that's all I know, I prefer to stay with it. However, I'm also the type of person who always wants to know what else is out there. As such, lately, I've been poking around and reading up on PayPal alternatives and I keep hearing great things about TransferWise, PerfectMoney and Payoneer. Sometimes we just have to take a leap of faith and try other things on the market.

 

[Kamon c4]

Yes PayPal is the best way to carry out online transactions but you can try out other means

 

[Arwhank]

So far, in my opinion, payment via Paypal is still the best because the transaction is fast and safe

 

[chicnthin]

I only have Paypal as a payment processor, because most of the sites that I'm in uses Paypal. But I've been seeking for other alternatives as well.

 

[Yugocean]

PayPal's fees is the reason we have to find other sources, those who do not pay extra tax can enjoy paypal, but for others this is too much money consuming and have to find alternative. I am also finding alternative.

 

[Braga13]

it's the most common and used paymenet way in the world with no doubt

 

[Elijahekom]

PayPal is the best, many people have used it for years and much complain are not seen, that's all I know about it

 

[Maskyy]

@Claraviolet
PayPal to me is a normal payment gateway.
To talk of the best payment method, I will vote Bitcoin.
Why?? It kept appreciating.
My money with PayPal is like my money in Dominary account in local bank. It may increase with dollar value but it Bitcoin appreciate faster.

 

[Sariana23]

I have also heard very good about payeer, it has a very good review, I even registered and I have it verified although so far I have not used it, many online payment sites accept paypal and payeer.

 

[Lyrrex]

In all my life I have only used paypal, so I consider paypal is the best for payments.

I try payeer too but it didn't surprise me at all..

For me PayPal is one of the safest payment gateways because it offers customers protection. So many online and retail platforms accept PayPal as a means of payment that shows that it's trustworthy

 

[Zihann]

Yeah cause it’s safe to use the service and link your accounts too. This payment system acts as a "middleman" between sender and receiver. It's best way if we are talking about sending and receiving money virtually. Even effective than the bank when foreign transaction come.

 

[Venant]

Paypal is good way of accepting payment but I don't know if it is actually the best since they're other means out there.

 

[Dubai]

To me, Paypal is very reliable and one of the best to receive transactions. It is also well secured. Using it depends on your location. Some payment platforms have some restriction in different region which make payment difficult.

 

[Naz Noshin]

To be honest, I am not sure anymore.
I have a Paypal business account and it doesn't accept any gifts at all. As everything is getting linked to our Social security number, while paying taxes I had mention this amount as well.

Anyway, what do you all think?

I don't think you can purchase gifts l card with PayPal from India but you can ask the support for help.
I like PayPal to receive money from those sites where I work and they only have PayPal as payment method. I didn't face any difficulty because in Italy PayPal is easy to use for all services and sites which accept PayPal

 

[joy101]

For some country, but not the best payment processor in my country. Because my country doesn't feature PayPal money. Cryptocurrency is the best option for me.

 

[Chief]

Thanks for your help with this matter as soon as their second one is a little bit late but it was a little late to the game and I can get it done and I have a few more questions for you can see the whole thing I have is a withdrawal form and I will send the money for the ticket and the other two were the funds to pay the funds for you.

 

[Mika]

paypal is widely used payment processor, however, I think there are other better alternatives for cross boarder transaction. I think while sending money abroad, Transferwise is a better option. The receiver receives funds directly in his bank account. Transferwise does not move funds from one country to another, it has bank accounts in the countries where it operates. Therefore fees are relatively small.

 

[Sotherefore]

To me I prefer to withdraw my earning or my mode of payment to be in cryptocurrency as this is easier for me as I can convert the cryptocurrency anytime any day to my own local currency, I do not personally interested in withdrawing my earning or to be paid through PayPal as there is limitation for PayPal withdrawal in my country,but to be very serious I think it actually depends on what business the person is doing there are some business that require paypal and there are some that require physical cash or cryptocurrency

 

[Kinglegend01]

I think PayPal is very much okay as a wallet for accepting and receiving money aside from it been the most recognized and widely used wallet
PayPal, is the safest way to transfer and accept money. All you have to do is verify it properly and legally and you're good t

 

[MastetG]

I've used it exclusively for YEARS now and have only ever had one complaint in all that time. Because that's all I know, I prefer to stay with it. However, I'm also the type of person who always wants to know what else is out there.

Withdrawals from the balance are usually instant to your bank, & payments are received within a matter of minutes. PayPal offers buyer protection for goods & services purchased which protects us as consumers.

One thing that makes me like PayPal even if I don't use it, is the buyer protection of goods and services. It commands refund when the depositor feels the recipient didn't worth the funds transfered. Paypal initiate instant funds refund if they find genuine claims by the depositor.

 

[Patrik]

You could say so, it has lot of benefits that no other payment processor has, but the issue is that it's not worldwide as it's banned in some countries, so you aren't able to deal with people from those countries unfortunately

 

[Alexandoy]

I have been using Paypal when I started working online. It was fortunate that I have a credit card because that is one requirement for verification of the account. For a personal account the only issue is the fee that is charged on my earnings. But for a personal account to send money to another personal account there is no fee to be paid. Paypal is very rich now not only with the fees that they charge but also with the money that are in our account balance. They can use that money for their own purposes.

[Ralphjoe]

Paypal is a good payment processor no doubt but it's not available in my country, there are so many restrictions on it, well I find solace in the use of cryptocurrencies as my payment receipt gateway and it's been absolutely wonderful so far.

 

[Hammad1245]

Yes it is the best method. Almost all the websites accept this method and the transactions do not take time. Some websites give withdrawal only through PayPal showing that this is the best method. Moreover it is the most widely used payment method in the world.

 

[Ridorz]

PayPal is the best way of receiving and sending money to me because I am being using it since many years ago and did not have any problem with it. So, I can say PayPal is the best and trusted that I can recommend for someone to be use.

 

[btaliat]

Yes according to reviews. It is hardly you lost money or get your money hooked with PayPal. Also.the time of payment is faster compare to payoneer. It is a pity it is not acceptable in my country.

 

[Holluwaphemmy]

PayPal is one of the best payment method but not the best. I have paypal account and it's really functioning well but presently I prefer bitcoin wallet because it has the tendency to increase the amount you put in there it is really good payment method

 

[tuna89]

Paypal seem to be the best only because there seem to be no competitors for mode of payments on different websites. Rarely do I find payoneer or stripe or skrill etc as modes of payments on various job websites, the only problem I have with PayPal are the charges but still It helps.

 

[Kaindio Agnes Wanja]

In my case i find paypal being the best payment processor and its my favourite whereby have been using it for so long and have never had any problem with that.
The good thing with it is that it doesnt charge fee in it withdrawal and you can receive your money within a short period of time

 

[Trexxxy]

PayPal is the best out there however PayPal doesn't work in all countries, so for me it doesn't qualify as the best. There are other payment processors you could use fast and reliable depending on your country or region.

 

[Mary]

To me, paypal is one of the best means of payment but not the best for me. I prefer using crypto currencies wallet as a means of payment because it is more reliable and the charges are also more affordable to PayPal

 

[Chumzy]

Today I can say that there are various payment agencies out there. PayPal is still one of the best, but as an African, I can't say it is. A company that blocks out Nigeria because of the crime of a few Nigerians, I don't know what to call that. For me, it is not the best. Payoneer holds more promise.

 

[GIFTMICHAEL]

PayPal account is convenient and reliable because it guarantee security of funds. PayPal account ensure adequate protection against fraud as it is linked to social security number. You can use PayPal to send money but you may not receive in some country thereby making it difficult for defrauders.

 

[Hasan Raza]

Definitely paypal is the best and secure source for money receiving from any business.Yes for me PayPal is best option as it comes with lots of option to takes payments, lower fees/no fees sometime, have 24*7 support. They have buyer and seller protection option means it always high chance to have protection against frauds.

 

[Ojonuyo]

No it is not the best place to receive payment. Because their rules and regulations are numerous. Their charge rate is very high. And their terms and conditions are unfair. Coupled with the restrictions that comes with it to certain region. Not all region can use PayPal so even if you choose to use it ensure your region is not restricted.

 

[Kennysplash]

To be honest, I am not sure anymore.
I have a Paypal business account and it doesn't accept any gifts at all. As everything is getting linked to our Social security number, while paying taxes I had mention this amount as well. It's just less than 100$ and yet I had to pay extra tax for it and the reason given was, it's a small business and I will have to pay for maintaining it.

So, I have been thinking of this for a while now. Is Paypal the best way to accept payments for individual transactions? What about gift cards like Amazon gift cards? I am not sure whether I can purchase an Amazon.com gift card when I am in India.

Anyway, what do you all think?

PayPal is still undisputed. It's the best payment platform right now. It is also very secured. But it doesn't have much for Africans. So I think it is Africans thta are having problems with it. In other regions it works very fine.

 

[Ltherman]

Paypal has its comparative advantage over some other wallets, its internationally renowned and its been playing in that space for a long time. But direct bank transfers or mastercard or visa card does it for me when it comes to fiat transactions.

 

[Presido]

There are many option from online payment and exchange but I have been using PayPal for about 3 years now and I believe it is the best when it comes to online payments. Reliable and Charges affordable

PayPal is great and payments come in very quickly. I've used it and its fees are low and most people use it. It's great whenever you have to withdraw money. I think. And all my friends use it and whenever they have to withdraw their payment, they withdraw from it. This is very good PayPal.

 

[Heatman]

As far as I'm concerned, PayPal is the best payment processor for any sort of transaction. I have been using it since 2017 and I have never had any problems whatsoever.

Yes, I'm aware they can be really annoying with their upgrades in policies but I believe it's to secure their users funds against any kind of fraud or criminal activities.

 

[Monarehman]

May be it is the best way to accept payment for job or business, but in our country it doesn't work that's why we prefer easypaisa or jazz cash and bank account as well.

 

[Donkiz]

PayPal is a good payment platform but sometimes the charges can be very discouraging, if you are no longer comfortable with their mode of operation, there are other good payment platforms to move to. For the gift cards, you can exchange them at Paxful or any other platform that accepts them.

 

[Aniwhyte]

PayPal is great, it is one of the best if not the best payment method, some few years ago paypal restricted Nigerians from using their gateway for receiving money. I'm really not sure if the restriction has been lifted yet.

 

[Kelvin7656]

PayPal is a favorite tool for sending and receiving money online. It's been around as a public company since 2002, with a robust history of satisfied customers.


But regardless of how long PayPay has been in business, the more important concern is security. So how safe is PayPal?


For the most part, it’s safe to use the service and link your accounts to PayPal. The level of risk depends on what you use the service for.

• Buyers will find that PayPal is an easy and secure way to make purchases.
• Sellers can also benefit from using PayPal, but there are risks to be aware of. Those risks aren’t unique to PayPal, but some sellers are unaware of potential problems.

Money transfers make their way to their destination safely, but the question is whether or not you know who you’re sending money to.

Anyway, what do you all think?

I don't think so. PayPal has been managed well over time but not the best for me. Other payment option are way ahead of PayPal whose strict policies and transaction charges aren't friendly.

 

[Asad Ali]

Yes, PayPal is a good company And I've been using it for a year now. It is very easy to deposit and it is working easily in many countries. Unfortunately not registered in Pakistan but I got an account from a friend.And I transact easily abroad.I have to use Payoneer account for deposit and withdrawal.

 

[Goodday]

I think PayPal is the most secured payment processor but to me it is not the best payment processor for receiving payments. This is because your account might be limited by PayPal if you are receiving payments from sites that PayPal do not recognize.

 

[Ojonuyo]

As far we the third nations are concerned PayPal remains the least among other payment method. It is not flexible, and so many third country are restricted from using their account. This restrictions has caused so many lost of opportunities for us the third nations. I wish there could adjust it.

 

[Ebuka Stephen]

As for me PayPal is one of the best form of online payment if not the best , their services are really good , it pays faster than others , when you withdraw it goes straight to your bank account. I think it is really good tho

 

[JamoPosh]

Upto my own descretion while using PayPal for a long while now. I think PayPal should be the best, even big company really trusted the services. They requirements to start receiving payment isn't that difficult to provide and still it very safe as well, their security system integration is well equipped. They're just the best payment gateway for now.

 

[Bilal0087]

Anyway, what do you all think?

I will surely give my review about Paypal but unfortunately it is illegal in Pakistan so we cannot use PayPal.
I have experience with other crypto wallets for transactions and trading, I found Payeer and probit, the most reliable and Secure for worldwide transections. you can use these wallets for safe, secure and fast transactions.

 

[Eyiteepraise]

I think Paypal is still the best means of payment at the moment, the charges are affordable with a low-interest rate, then, you can also consider crypto currencies as another option, it is a good one, you can use wallets like luno, blockchain etc

 

[GIFTMICHAEL]

One thing that makes me like PayPal even if I don't use it, is the buyer protection of goods and services. It commands refund when the depositor feels the recipient didn't worth the funds transfered. Paypal initiate instant funds refund if they find genuine claims by the depositor.

Yes when I go through PayPal I was pleased to know that is a secure way to receive payment.
They have a charge back provision or a way of getting what was stolen as soon you report or complain about a wrong transaction.

 

[adazeez1995]

Well, we don't receive payments through PayPal in Nigeria. I wonder why PayPal restricts the Nigerian population. Maybe need,Nigeria money to boost their economy, they are not interested in money coming back to Nigeria. Hahaha.

 

[Chizfab]

Yes, it was then but l am not sure of now. Too many payment issues about PayPal. Secondly, it works with few selected countries and doesn't support smooth transaction, there are too many protocols to follow for a successful transaction.

 

[Adeyoola7]

PayPal has a reputation for safety and security, which makes them the first choice for many ecommerce businesses who need to have a way to accept online payments. Unfortunately, fraud and criminal activities do still occur on PayPal

 

[mjss10]

Yeah, i think it is one of the best payment methods to have. Paypal is pretty famous all over the world and I've been hearing many stuff about it since I was a kid so they've been here for so long. Since they're that famous, i think it's best to have an account in paypal because it's accepted by most. Also, it is easy to access and their app make it more convenient and easy to use. Verification is also not that hard to accomplish, so all in all, I think paypal is one of the best payment methods.

 

[jimmann247]

why did you see a lot of country fighting to be accepted by paypal? from all my personal experience and all indications, paypal is a safe and great medium to accept money. they have a good policy that makes it impossible for you to be scam through paypal account. come to their charges, they have a moderate charges. paypal is good if you are in a country approve to send and receive money by them.

 

[Eodine]

There are many options for payout but personally I prefer Skrill or crypto wallet because getting a verified PayPal in this part of the world is not so easy So I just stick to the one that is easy for me. I would like to try PayPal someday though.

 

[Afeefah]

From other people I've heard that PayPal is great but personally I don't use it anymore since PayPal doesn't work in third tier countries.
I did have an account with PayPal but the only thing I could do with it was online transactions. I couldn't withdraw so I stopped using it.

 

[Abibatabosede]

I have used PayPal a few times and it is the best means of receiving payment I've used but if you think it's not working for you there is no harm in trying other ones to decide which is best for you to choose among others.

 

[Cybersec]

I could say it is one of the best payment system I have seen ,this is based on the reviews I have read about the system because it is not available for full usage in my country.

 

[Ibrahim]

As for me I will say yes because it's also upgrading everyday but not mush safe because they also use it for scam and so many things happening but I no soon they will change and also it's very fast and reliable

 

[Blessedsam60]

But what about we living in countries where PayPal has been banned? Will we be happy about this? So definitely Paypal isn't the best way to accept payments in Nigeria and some other countries banned from using this medium.

 

[Milz]

I wouldn't say it is the best, all i can say is that it is one of the best i have seen so far. Although, if it doesn't favor you, There are so many other platforms which you can use in place of PayPal

 

[Ayokex]

Among many payment gateway online PayPal still remains the best with all the features it offers. Despite it's strictness on the users, many still prefer to use it because of it's reliability. Some of the reasons why many people prefer PayPal to other payments gateway is because of its flexibility and ease of use. There's hardly any business organization online that doesn't accept payment. It's found to be the easiest payment medium online.

 

[Yewande]

I am not really familiar with how PayPal works. But I know it's credible and a lot of persons use it for transaction online. Howbeit, other means of transaction has come up which include payoneer, payeer and crypto wallets.

 

[Nabeel119]

There are different methods to with drawl money. Paypal is best and most famous payment system. It is approved and easy to attempt. Because for many people the flexibility and simplicity PayPal offers is too good not to consider. Although it may not be right for everyone, it's an inexpensive, effective tool for many.

 

[Kelly5]

Anyway, what do you all think?

PayPal in my own opinion cannot always be the best form of making payments or accepting payments. There are other better forms of accepting payment online you have payoneer. you also have my perfect money and other better first to receive payments also

 

[marky]

Actually, I'm incredibly, content with PayPal. I've utilized it solely throughout recent years and have just ever had one protest in all that time. Since that is all I know, I like to remain with it. Nonetheless, I'm likewise the sort of individual who consistently needs to know what else is out there. In that capacity, of late, I've been looking around and finding out about PayPal options and I continue to hear incredible things about TransferWise,

 

[iamgroot]

For me yes, because here in our country where many also work online working from home, usually call center agents, through paypal they are paid by the company they work for and the transaction is fast and flawless. their wages arrive immediately without delay.

To be honest, I am not sure anymore.
I have a Paypal business account and it doesn't accept any gifts at all. As everything is getting linked to our Social security number, while paying taxes I had mention this amount as well. It's just less than 100$ and yet I had to pay extra tax for it and the reason given was, it's a small business and I will have to pay for maintaining it.

So, I have been thinking of this for a while now. Is Paypal the best way to accept payments for individual transactions? What about gift cards like Amazon gift cards? I am not sure whether I can purchase an Amazon.com gift card when I am in India.

Anyway, what do you all think?

PayPal has a reputation for safety and security, which makes them the first choice for many ecommerce businesses who need to have a way to accept online payments.

Unfortunately, fraud and criminal activities do still occur on PayPal. Any merchant who regularly transacts business over PayPal should be aware of these five common scams.

Paypal is generally the best and the most acceptable means of online payment and transactions. It is very easy to run, charges affordable and fast to making payments. It doesn't require much personal details to register.

I think PayPal is way too overrated, i have a PayPal account but I rarely use it. Although it is easy to use, sending and receiving goes smoothly but my only turnoff is how they limit accounts for little or no tangible reasons.
There are other good payment gateways but I prefer cryptocurrency and that is one of the reasons I live bizdustry.

PayPal, is the safest way to transfer and accept money. All you have to do is verify it properly and legally and you're good to go. I have been using it for so long now and I have never regretted. It may be so strict but when you follow their rules and verify your account, you enjoy so many benefits. I use it to receive payment from many online earning sites and I can easily convert it to my local currency.

PayPal is limited and we cannot get income or we cannot submit our money in PayPal from every country so I don't think PayPal is the best option for transactions if PayPal facilitate people all of the work then it will be good because people have less feeses than others.

PayPal is a very good and lovely path to receive payments, gifts and other means of payment. The only thing about PayPal is that some areas have been blacklisted, so, they cat receive money because of this.

I think it is best way for payment but sorry to say it is not available in Pakistan so we can't use it for getting payment.
