“fast invoicing”
Pros
PayPal has been really reliable for sending invoices to customers and getting payments quickly. I also use the card reader for fast in-person transactions and the receipts are handy. The PayPal.me link is useful too. Overall, it's been an excellent product.
Cons
There have been times when PayPal has placed holds on funds for certain transactions. That has caused problems for me on occasion since it can take quite a while before the money is finally transferred to my account.

Pros
There's a lot of helpful information available online when you need guidance.

If you run into an issue and can't solve it through online resources, getting in touch with the support team can be difficult and take quite a bit of time.

“pay effortlessly”
Pros
Using PayPal feels really simple. Processing payments is quick and hassle-free and the option to pay in installments has been a huge plus. Absolutely love it.
Cons
I didn't that you either have to pay extra for an instant transfer or wait 2-3 days to get the money.

“simplest platform”
Pros
Really the direct connection with bank apps is a big reason it's one of the platforms I use most every day. It works for everything from paying for an Uber to checking out at my favorite online stores so it ends up being useful all the time.
Cons
There isn't anything about the app that I dislike overall. The support from the developer is excellent so if any issue ever comes up, reporting it and getting help is simple.

“Secure payments done right”
Pros
Everything about PayPal feels very simple to use and each feature is easy to follow. Sending or receiving money whether within the country or across borders, is quick, secure and efficient. It gives you exactly what you need for payments and guides you clearly through each step. After three years of using PayPal, I honestly have no complaints about the experience. Well done, PayPal!
Cons
Nothing negative to point out. The fees on certain transactions feel fair and the customer support has been excellent whenever it's needed. For e-commerce, PayPal really stands out as the best option in my view.

Using this software has been a really positive experience because it's very user-friendly and simple to work with.

Whether I'm in the office or away from it, I can still get everything done without any trouble.
Cons
At this point everything has been working well for me and I honestly don't have any negative feedback to share.

“Easy custom invoices”
Pros
Whether I'm paying on the go or sending money from anywhere, PayPal makes the whole process feel secure and dependable. It also lets me create and customize invoices which is really useful. Remittances are hassle-free and the interface is clean, simple and convenient to use.
Cons
The fees do feel a little higher compared to some other services on the market. Still because the security is stronger than most, that downside is something I can overlook.

“very fast transfers”
Pros
Using this software has been very simple. It comes with a business debit card, transfers to my account are usually pretty quick and it works well as an alternative to using my actual credit or bank card when making purchases.
Cons
One downside is that PayPal charges fees when someone sends you money, unless the payment comes directly from their PayPal account or through their credit card or bank card.

“Payments I can trust”
Pros
Having the PayPal app on my phone has been fantastic. I use it every day for purchases and it gives me real peace of mind knowing my payments are protected and my financial details stay secure from online scams and international fraud. Whenever there's a problem with processing, payments, transactions or trading, the customer support team is friendly, responsive and ready to help. Overall, it's an excellent app.
Cons
One thing PayPal could improve is the fees for payments made outside the PayPal system. It also charges fees when receiving money especially for payments connected to eBay.

“user-friendly app”
Pros
Whether I'm shopping on an eCommerce site or buying tickets for a museum or show, PayPal has been a really solid option. Both the app and the website are user-friendly which makes paying online feel convenient and simple.
Cons
Since mobile use matters so much now, the app could definitely use a refresh because the layout feels a bit outdated. Even with that, it still works very well.

“Safe checkout”
Pros
Having PayPal at checkout has given our customers a lot more flexibility. These days especially with younger shoppers, many people prefer more secure payment options and since adding PayPal to our checkout page, we've seen stronger sales demand and better checkout completion rates.
Cons
One downside is that pending returns through PayPal can sometimes take longer than they do with traditional checkout methods which has led to a small increase in customer inquiries about the status of their returns.

“simple software”
Pros
The platform feels simple to use and sending international payments is very convenient which makes it especially valuable.
Cons
It still isn't the most user-friendly in every part of the experience and larger payments should come with stronger authentication measures.

“Efficient transactions”
Pros
PayPal has been reliable, secure, fast and efficient every time I use it. Sending and receiving money is simple, online payments go through quickly and refunds are processed without any trouble. It really stands out at what it does and I appreciate how much easier it makes everyday transactions especially when I'm paying online. I also feel safe using it and the mobile app makes it convenient to handle payments and transfers wherever I am.
Cons
Honestly I don't have any improvements to point out because PayPal has met all of my needs so far. I'd just want them to keep delivering the same high level of service.

“flexible across devices”
Pros
Whether I'm on an up-to-date browser or using the native Android or iOS app, PayPal works reliably across all of them. The feature I appreciate most is being able to add digital credit cards as a payment source. That makes it really convenient to use something like a $10 virtual card and spend the equivalent amount in EUR on App Store or Play Store credit.
Cons
At this point I honestly haven't run into any missing features or problems. PayPal has consistently handled everything I've needed it to do.

“Convenient money transfers”
Pros
This has been my go-to for every eBay purchase I've made. The whole process is simple and when you're selling too, moving money over to a personal bank account is really convenient. I also had one order from a fraudulent seller and PayPal handled it quickly without any hassle.
Cons
I wouldn't really label this as a downside but as a small crafter using several payment services like PayPal, Square and Venmo, it would be really helpful to have one central hub where everything could be organized and accessed more easily.

“Costly conversions”
Pros
One thing that helps is being able to charge clients in USD even though that is not my local currency.
Cons
Every payment I receive gets converted automatically into my country's currency which I hate. If I need to pay for something in USD afterward, it gets converted all over again. That means I end up losing money four separate times. First on the initial exchange spread, then on PayPal's conversion rate, then again on the second exchange and finally on PayPal's rate for that second conversion.
