I've been using Paypal for years and years and although i have had issues overall it's been a very good website to help me monitor spending and keep my purchases and transactions safe.
Pros
Ease of use. Paypal can be used to pay at just about everywhere now. Its great for keeping track of who you have paid and for what. If there are any issues or you are not given the product you are promised Paypal helps you fox it with ease. Sending payments to other is extremely easy as they save the information on who you sent to.
Cons
It is extremely easy for you to be overcharged on Paypal. Cuatomer service is ok but its not always easy to speak to an actual human on the other side. I have also had issues with adding certain debit or credit cards to be used.

Overall Paypal is a wonderful product that makes collecting payments, buying business supplies, and working on disputes a total breeze. However, getting a loan from them is like pulling a hen's teeth! Not even worth trying!
Pros
I like how easy it is to make my business purchases without having to go digging for a credit card or what have you.
Cons
They use Equifax to determine loan eligibility. For some reason, Equifax has us at a low credit score and won't show us why. So we are unable to get funding through Paypal due to this and have no clue why since our Experian credit score is nice and high! Makes zero sense!

PayPal worked well for a time and was easy to implement. The biggest reason we moved on from PayPal is because of the higher cost per transaction compared to its competitors.
Pros
We could make customized invoices so our customers could pay online. We could also type in payments that we received over the phone.
Cons
Our cost of each transaction was higher than other products. It takes longer to receive our money than some other products.

My experience with PayPal is very good so far. I see their wallet option available with sites that allows credit card payment. Sometimes, it's critical to enable users to pay on credit card to assess their credit line and understand returning customer.
Pros
1) The adoption of PayPal is global, I can use it internationally to send and receive money or gifts.
2) Easy checkout via wallet from websites (if logged in already, it's even easier).
3) They send you summary of your wallet, like bank statement, which helps me keep track of usage.
4) Good for small and new business to enable payments on social media pages also via quick pay link.
Cons
No cons as such, but if UPI was available in India, it would be cherry on top.
Like it's really competitive to have one.

I started using PayPal with my eBay account several years ago. As I noticed it becoming more common on more websites, I started using it for a wider variety of payments and transfers.
Pros
My favorite aspect of PayPal is that it is now so widely accepted. Over the years, it has shown up as a method of payment on most of the websites that I use, and I have never had any problems with any of my transfers.
Cons
One downside of using PayPal is that you will receive many emails and messages trying to get you to sign up for PayPal credit cards.

My experience with PayPal has been mostly positive. It’s convenient for online shopping, sending money, and receiving payments. The user interface is simple, and transactions are generally fast and secure, which I appreciate. However, the high fees, especially with currency conversion or business transactions, can be a downside. Additionally, the occasional hold on funds can be frustrating when I need quick access to money. Despite these issues, PayPal remains a reliable option for online payments.
Pros
PayPal is very user friendly. I like how PayPal makes online payments so simple and secure. It’s convenient for both personal transactions and business, with the ability to link bank accounts or cards and pay without exposing financial information. The buyer protection is a nice safety net too, and it integrates with tons of websites and apps.
Cons
What I like least about PayPal is the high fees, especially when converting currencies or handling business transactions. It also holds funds sometimes for extended periods, which can be frustrating if you need quick access to your money.

Cons
PayPal’s fees for certain transactions can be high, especially for international transfers. Additionally, account holds or disputes can be frustrating and take time to resolve.

Overall I really like PayPal and am nit-picking to find things I like least. Overall it's been great both personally and professionally.
Pros
I like having a debit card specific to this, because that's where I store our businesses funds like a checking account. I like the ability to create and accept payments for invoices. I also like that I can use PayPal for personal transactions just like Venmo or Zelle.
Cons
I wish their UI were better. Certain features seem challenging to find or access. Specifically the add a payment or add money feature. I wish they'd use intelligence to learn what I use most and bring that to the front of the dashboard.

Paypal places many barriers between the customer and vital information making my overall experience very frustrating. This is made even more inconvenient by the lack of online support making it difficult to reach the right people when a problem arises. Paypal has caused numerous disruptions in my financial well being due to these issues.
Pros
Paypal is widely accepted as a payment option for online transactions, making it a convenient payment option when shopping online.
Cons
Lack of account transparency such as the ability to view declined transactions. Additionally, the lack of easily accessible online support like many other payment providers offer as their digital experience. There does not seem to be any explanation as to why users are unable to view declined transactions and where the charge is coming from. This is extremely inconvenient and is potentially a security risk as monitoring all transactions towards any funding account is essential for monitoring unusual activity.

I love Paypal, I always have problems paying on many sites, but with Paypal I was able to use a safe way to pay both through sites, and personal with my friends and in selling items online. The fact of being able to register multiple cards is very useful and allows me to pay with any of the options that I have available at the moment so that I do not always have to register all the data but through fast and easy access with email and password.
Pros
Security, simplicity and speed in payments. The history of movements and the possibility of paying both as friends and with protected transactions. It is also very nice to be able to insert messages that are easily found in transactions
Cons
There is nothing that has caused me any problems using Paypal! I forget my password sometimes but that's my problem! :)

PayPal has been a reliable and convenient tool for handling both personal and business transactions. While the fees can add up in some cases, its security features and ease of use make it a top choice for online payments.
Pros
Convenience and extensive acceptance. PayPal allows me to make purchases, send money, and receive payments quickly, both domestically and internationally. Its buyer and seller protection policies offer a sense of security, especially for online transactions. The platform’s integration with various websites and apps is seamless, making it easy to use almost anywhere.
Cons
Fees associated with certain types of transactions, especially for currency conversion and receiving business payments. Additionally, the customer service experience can sometimes be slow or challenging to navigate if there are account or payment issues.

I think overall PayPal is okay, but many of the issues I've had, had the potential to turn into a lot bigger issues. I would say it's probably no longer the best option for payment processing.
Pros
They have one of the shorter wait times for payouts/balance transfers compared to other platforms I've used. Many people are familiar with them and many companies/organizations still use them which often lends itself to an easier check out process. I like that it has pay later options for my clients.
Cons
Paypal was once one of the most trusted and secure payment processors, but there have been many points of failure over the years and I am not as confident about it as I once was. I have previously had some issues with fraudulent purchases made using my account. In my experience their customer service has not been the best often because of language barriers leading to my concerns not being understood/addressed. I don't like how difficult it is to change the settings so that non-PayPal users can make payments using PayPal. The buyer-protection is not great either, I purchased a product that was misrepresented in the photos and description and even when I couldn't get a hold of the company to go through with returning it, PayPal would not grant me a refund. The same thing happened when a company that was going out of business kept recurring charges going even though they were no longer providing me the service and hadn't for months, I sent PayPal all requested documentation and they didn't refund me or remedy the issue at all.
