PayPal merchant services may not suit high-volume and high-risk businesses, but many sellers and customers will find PayPal easy and convenient.

PayPal At A Glance

  • PayPal offers businesses a vast commerce ecosystem that combines payment processing with eCommerce and mobile point of sale functionality.
  • Online sellers can use PayPal as their exclusive means of accepting payments or as a supplemental option. This isn’t possible with Square, Stripe, or any other processor.
  • In many instances, online PayPal sellers will pay a fixed fee of $0.49 per transaction in addition to the percentage fee. This fixed fee is higher than that of PayPal’s competitors and hurts small-ticket merchants.

    LONG TIME PAYPAL CUSTOMER UNABLE TO WITHDRAW OR DEPOSIT INTO MY ACCOUNT DUE TO SOME QUESTIONABLE TRANSACTIONS!!! AND EVERY ONE WAS MADE BY ME!!
    After speaking to an agent with PayPal and finally getting the documentation they asked for a week later, they said it t would take 5-7 days before I could get access to my crypto investment or balance in my actual account!… and one of the questionable transactions was a crypto investment!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! Didn’t EVERYBODY start investing when COVID hit America?.. For Christ sake man that transaction wasn’t questionable it was downright smart!! It has tripled since I entered the position and now it’s going back down again!! It’s like watching your girlfriend slowly drive away with your best friend, and you didn’t even know there was ever a problem!!! Friggin blindsided by the sudden limitation! I intend to make good on my statement to the agent in my last message!!! Restore my account or this is the first shitty review of many in the way!! And believe me,.. I got a lot to say!!!!!!!’
