PayPal

Do you like or dislike PayPal? Have you ever experienced a problem, (as a buyer or seller). PayPal is a online payment services company, allowing you to quickly make or a receive a payment. PayPal offers a protection service, and by agreeing to become a member of the site they have the power to withdraw funds from your account without your consent. Has this ever happen to you? Have you ever had a problem with a seller, and needed PayPal's help to get your money back? Many times PayPal charges fee's for an investigation, and is not always reliable in helping you. I have had my fair share of problems, and lost hundreds of dollars in the process!!! (Paypal is too powerful)
