Thats a really constructive comment.

For a lot of people paypal is just fine and does the job they need it to do.

Its like the mac fan boys who comment on windows being crap. But for 90% of joe public it works and works well allowing them to edit word documents and browse the interweb. Its just the loud mouthed 10% who like to cry their balls off and tell people what they are using is wrong.

Yes, I appreciate it's not constructive. To be honest, they've been fine for me for a long time, it's only recently when I've been scammed and now have to deal with their support team I've realised how much they're not "for the buyer" or "for the seller", they're very much just for themselves. I've had awful customer service from ISP's, mobile phone networks, online retailers and many more - but all of those combined wouldn't add up to equate how terrible the service I've had from PayPal. You know a company is shady when there are dedicated hate websites setup to warn people against using it.

I'll be moving to Google Wallet + Stripe in all of my personal expenses and personal projects where possible.
