Paypal - is it still popular?

zell12 · 2025-06-07 19:47:18

Are people still using Paypal for purchases regularly? I have not used Paypal since 2019. With the plethora of payment options now and their lower fees, I thought it would be in decline or disappearing. I cannot see any references about it anywhere, or any Ireland-aimed transaction promotions.

I stopped using ebay to sell goods for exactly this reason. Ebay and Paypal quite a few years ago changed their dispute resolution policies heavily in favour of the buyers regardless of the circumstances.
Too easy to be scammed by buyers claiming item not as described or never being received then opening a dispute.
Paypal is great as others have mentioned for maintaining anonymity during transactions (mostly).
