“positive user experience”
Pros
PayPal gives users on my platform a safe way to pay and the money reaches me instantly. That definitely improves the overall user experience.
Cons
The transaction fees are the part I struggle with. PayPal's fee structure is pretty high and that can make a business think twice before including it in its payment setup.

“Meets my expectations”
Pros
This software does exactly what I need for managing my online payments and wallet. It also works really well as a mobile solution.
Cons
At times the interface looks a little dated but it seems like they're gradually improving the UI. It's been getting better on a regular basis.

“Customer support team is always available”
Pros
We find it easy to use. The customer support team is available and willing to help whenever something comes up. It also makes invoicing simple to handle and the expense management features are really impressive.
Cons
I don't like the high transaction fee it charges. I'm also not happy with the bugs and similar issues that come up from time to time so it definitely needs some improvement.

“Quick and simple”
Pros
Using it feels really quick and simple. Whether I'm paying for purchases, sending money securely or creating an invoice, it handles everything well.
Cons
finding the invoices section on the mobile site can be frustrating. I've managed to work around it by searching for "PayPal invoices."

“ensures safety”
Pros
Its so easy to handle and the level of security gives me a lot of confidence. When it comes to handling payments, safety matters a ton to me and this still feels like the gold standard.
Cons
The app is starting to feel a bit outdated, almost like something from the Stone Age, while most people seem to use Venmo now which is owned by PayPal. A lot of people already have PayPal accounts and do not even realize it.

“Handles multi-currency payments”
Pros
PayPal handles payments in multiple currencies and is accepted almost everywhere, whether it's online stores, marketplaces and more. The interface is clean and simple to use.
Cons
Transaction fees can get pretty expensive on international marketplaces like eBay UK and the currency conversion charges are high as well.

“useful transaction history”
Pros
Using it for both work payments and personal spending has been really convenient. The transfer process is simple and the transaction history helps me stay on top of everything I spend. I've never had to reach out to customer support since I haven't run into any account problems.
Cons
The only frustrating part was the identity verification. I mostly use it to split bills with friends and family so it felt unnecessary that those transactions ended up triggering a verification check.

I've been happy with everything about it and haven't had any problems with it. It has been a very solid service for me every single time I've used it.

“considerate support staff”
Pros
PayPal has been a really reliable option for us and the customer support has been outstanding. We ran into a couple of hiccups with payments processing and when we reached out, the support team was not only helpful but also very professional. The platform is also extremely user friendly which makes day-to-day use simple. On top of that, the transfer fees are quite competitive.
Cons
I really have not run into any downsides. Even when an issue came up, the support team handled my concerns quickly and made sure everything was resolved in a timely manner.

“No major issues”
Pros
Its so convenient to use. One thing I especially appreciate is how simple it is to manage my PayPal credit card for online purchases while also getting a high cashback rate on what I buy.
Cons
I really don't have any major issues with PayPal. If I had one wish, it would be to see more promotional deals and discount offers.

“fast payouts and low fees”
Pros
it has been simple, payouts arrive quickly and I can use it to pay on several platforms. For international payments, the fees are low which is a big plus.
Cons
It would be better if there were a card available to use in stores. Not every business accepts PayPal payments so wider coverage is still needed.

“account flagging risks funds”
Pros
Transactions go through quickly and reliably and it remains one of the most widely used online payment platforms worldwide. It works well for receiving payments from freelancing sites.
Cons
Accounts can get flagged pretty easily at times and the chances of getting them restored feel 50/50 which can end up causing lost funds. Even the AI-based automated customer support is not very helpful when situations like this happen.

“Useful deals help small businesses”
Pros
A lot of companies accept it and it does a good job of keeping personal information secure. The cash back offers and deals are also useful especially for small businesses trying to save where they can.
Cons
The pricing can be inconsistent when dealing with other countries internationally and there's a pretty high risk of running into scams or fake businesses. It's also frustrating when a mistake happens and the money is not returned quickly especially with the lack of customer service follow-up.

“Links with eBay, Poshmark”
Pros
Back when I first started shopping online, this was the first electronic payment option I really knew about and it made buying and selling on e-commerce sites much more convenient. It was also linked with eBay, Poshmark and other online platforms which made it even more useful.
Cons
The downside was the fees. When I was selling items, the turnaround was already lower than I hoped so having extra charges taken out on top of that was pretty discouraging.
