Cons: It charges auctioneers and website marketers a fee, while YahooPay Direct will serve them for free.

I chalk it up to semantics. PayPal...

Pros: Convenient email payment system, great for auctions
Cons: Payments are just like cash, not regulated

Pros: Fast and Easy way to send and receive money
Cons: New requirements to receive free 5 dollars for signing up and referrals

Cons: PayPal will protect crooks before they protect honest people.

This past Tuesday morning, as I was getting ready to leave home for my Dad's burial service, I check my e-mail and find that PayPal has made a payment from MY account to a thief. Not a small payment -- nearly $1,000.

Not to mention that I...

Pros: fast, safe money transfers (when things are going well!)
Cons: does not accept all credit cards, site can be unpredictable, inept customer service

I was introduced to Paypal.com after I joined the ill-fated X.com Bank. I tried X.com because they were giving a lot of incentives for opening an account, such as debit cards and referral bonuses. X.com became an instant hit and, soon after X.com's...

Pros: So darn easy to use and addictive too...

Cons: None that I have found

I have been a member of Pay Pal™ for over 2 years and I really enjoy it. I use it to receive payments from the programs that I participate in to earn money. Most of them use Pay Pal™ to pay me! It's fast, easy and safe to use. They have it set up...

Pros: no fees for buyers, seems secure in my experience, easy to use if understood.
Cons: hard to contact, even harder to contact a human

Cons: PayPal is not an escrow service

Pros: Very easy site to use. Clean way of doing business.
Cons: Nothing worth noting

Many years ago I was actively purchasing Football cards of a favorite NY JET player. I did much of that business through the auction site of E-Bay. At first I was sending checks and money orders and waiting for them to clear before receiving the product. ...
