Quick, easy and affordable

I would highly recommend PayPal for the ease of use, does what it says no hidden agenda. Just follow the link at checkout and choose how you would like to pay. You even get reminders so you don't forget your bill is due to be paid. Reviewed on: 2nd June 2023

Just never link to your bank

2
Never spend more than you have in your bank or have lots of pay in 3 payments, as PayPal don't check affordability or have spending limits. Reviewed on: 31st May 2023

No regards to customers

PayPal does not treat its customers properly. Its dispute process is unfit for purpose! Reviewed on: 28th February 2023

A wonderful service

5
Paypal makes me feel safe when paying for services and transactions. They verify my identity and that is reassuring in this day and age, when there is so much fraud. Also the cost of some purchases can be spread over 3 monthly payments which is very useful for people like myself. I am a pensioner so on low income. Reviewed on: 23rd September 2022
