PayPal Payments reviews (3855)

Environmentally friendly card

The fast, flexible and very secure payment system that's accepted everywhere on the Internet and avoids the use of plastic. You can attach your debit and credit cards whilst also keeping them secret from the payee or you can use the credit facility of Paypal itself. Reviewed on: 25th December 2019

A new company leaping ahead in the financial industry.

Most banks charge high interest rates, but for a one off small charge on business loans and a no fuss application form, which is based upon your work history, even the self employed soul trader is welcome. Reviewed on: 11th December 2019

Great quick alternative method to pay online

Always straight forward payment method. It’s very popular as most companies allow you to make payments via PayPal. Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Cash

I needed a bit bit of quick cash and this has helped a lot Reviewed on: 13th September 2019

Simple & easy

My expectations that I should be able to do everything on my phone are always met by PayPal. Their interest free credit offering is great as well. Reviewed on: 10th June 2019

Easy to use, straightforward and extends Paypal credit

I took out a Paypal credit loan and found the repayment terms very fair - a percentage of my sales were taken by Paypal each time someone bought something. Reviewed on: 21st May 2019

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
