After allowing for everything said here - and the PayPal back peddling on this specific issue. If you are serious about taking money for goods, services or worthy causes - do not use PayPal.

After all, what does Paypal say about you that is positive? Nothing! Keywords are "Cheap" "Amateur" etc..

Solely taking paypal is a business risk, I'll give you that.

But damn, as a consumer, it's far far easier than getting my credit card out every time.

We just need more competitors for PayPal. Perhaps one from credit card company, one from Google, one from Facebook, and a couple from successful, less evil (for now) startups.
