As a consumer I like PayPal because I am deciding to send someone money rather than them pulling it from a credit card I give them. This means I'll do business with suppliers I don't know without worrying about what they might do with my credit card details.

Are ever concerned about them taking your money and not sending you the item? If they're in a foreign country, or have skipped town, what's your recourse?

That's always a risk however I pay but I can get my money back by filing a dispute with PayPal and not have to worry about where my credit card number has ended up.
