PayPal works with 3rd party Scammers
Reviewed on 13/10/2024

After closing my PayPal account, I started receiving notices from a fake "Negotiations Department." It seems suspicious that PayPal, or possibly third parties associated with their employees, may be selling or collecting customer data. Be cautious and do your research if you receive scam letters from the "Negotiations Department" or any credit or loan payment departments. Although I have some debt, it's manageable. However, I found it very strange that shortly after closing my PayPal account, I received a letter about my credit debt. The fact that they requested personal details like my birthdate, bank account number, Social Security number, and ID just to close my account raises red flags. PayPal’s practices seem suspicious, and they should be held accountable.
Pros
was!!!! A great product transfer money and accept payments.
Cons
they seem to be part of a data information selling or there employees / 3rd party are collecting data. I suspect its Indians majority of there call centers are Indian and they have a reputation for scamming elderly people. Horrible people who do this.

I have trusted PayPal for over twenty years. It's been easy to use whether online or locally for my book signings or readings. What I like best, is that in all my years of using it, I have never had a problem with my account. I use it to sell products and services and for subscriptions. As a consumer, they have helped me receive a refund when dealing with scammers.
Pros
It's a safe and easy means of doing business concerning payments that has a low commission rate. Also it's easy to transfer money to my bank or use my PayPal debit card. I have used PayPal for over twenty years.
Cons
Currently, to use PayPal at it's highest level, one has to be a programmer or hire a programmer to create professional purchasing buttons and pages PayPal offers. However, users can just create the order buttons easily to place on their websites with HTML code.
