PayPal Payment Provider reviews (3599)

Somewhat necessary, nearly always useful

Paypal is very easy to use - I mostly use it on ebay. On ebay it's a nigh necessity unless your seller is willing to use a postal order (too expensive and little point). I've had no problem with them and they've refunded money to me when sellers have had issues with their items. Reviewed on: 16th April 2019

Great

Very happy about British Bank !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reviewed on: 11th January 2019

Incredibly flexible payment method.

Paypals flexibility has proven very useful in day to day situations! From paying a friend over a ticket to purchasing goods online and having their protection insurance for any troublesome sellers. Their function to transfer and exchange currencies is also helpful when gifting money to a family member abroad or having them buy some regional items on your behalf! Top notch stuff! Reviewed on: 4th December 2018

Convenient way to pay for things online

With a fully validated account it has been a handy way to send money in USD to family overseas. I usually compare rates with Western Union to pick best option. Main use however has been with buying and selling on ebay and for paying for small items when purchasing online. I've not had to use the buyer protection so will not comment on that part of the service. Reviewed on: 17th June 2018

Relatively easy

Quick and easy to make and receive payments. I would not recommended paypal credit however. Reviewed on: 7th June 2018

Easy to get credit nut hefty late fees and interest

Gives you the credit easily but makes it difficult to pay back due to limited options, high interest and late penalty fees. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Security of Account

I bought a laptop which is £1000 way more than my usual spend and had a phone call from them about the unusual high price purchase the next day and the man was very polite and after having a chat I was glad that my account was flagged and they checked with me the account holder that this was a genuine purchase and not some scammer who had hacked me and was trying to clear my account without my knowledge. I feel safe when I use PayPal for purchases knowing they have my back if the spend is a bit more than usual Keep up the good work as genuine customers will respect your due diligence for the safety of their accounts Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Easy peasy

Been using it for years... so easy... love it. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

Perfect!

Perfect every time. Never any hassle and super straight forward. Reviewed on: 4th April 2018

In Safe Hands

I like using Paypal as I know it is secure especially when you are buying online or sending some money to a friend or buying from an unknown business.I also like the fact that you can have Paypal credit which gives you 4 months interest free for purchases over £150. Reviewed on: 10th February 2018
