Customers still want PayPal though :(

Can't wait for Stripe to integrate PayPal as one of the options. Seems unlikely to happen, but I keep my fingers crossed.

I use paypal because their arbitration (buyer protection) has worked very well for me as a buyer when a vendor tries to screw me over (which does happen from time to time). I do otherwise prefer stripe. I've always hyped it to my friends as a well made and reliable service.

The vendor experience with PayPal is appalling though. They'll randomly take money back off you when a customer hasn't even complained, frequently they'll just freeze you out of your account for months at a time. Better not rely on that seasonal income, half the time it'll be delayed by three months ...
