paypal experiences

You don't actually have to have a paypal account to pay with paypal. You can just pay through them using your regular credit card, and it's just like any other cc transaction at any store. And you'll have the advantage of having the protections afforded by using your credit card.
To pay without having a paypal account, you just need to go to the paypal.com home page and click on "send money." You'll be given the option to pay with a credit card, or pay with a paypal account.
Paypal, in addition to their regular account services, is one of the largest merchant services providers (credit card gateways) around. Many companies, large and small use them for their credit card handling. If you're shopping at a web store and have a choice between using paypal or a credit card, lots of times your transaction will go through paypal either way.

I've been a PayPal client for about 9 years. There are two categories: BUSINESS and Personal. You will need to have a checking account at a Bank/Credit union. Or you may connect PayPal to a Credit card. I've never had any problems. It is important to make sure your payments are marked "Personal" so that you do not pay fees.
I have experienced PayPal as a secure and safe way to send and receive payments.

Just like with credit card transactions. They are not "free" either.

Because otherwise he'd be pocketing the cc fee he's already built in to his selling price.
Or maybe you pay with a debit card. Talk about high fees.

Whether or not I get a discount from my local merchant is of no importance. I would far rather support my local small business than to give pp money (which the merchant may pay first but who do you think ultimately pays????)

I have had a great experience over the years with Paypal. I use it to get paid for things I have sold on ebay and to pay for things here, ebay, etsy, etc. If ever I want to buy something and don't have enough money in the Paypal account, it is set to my personal checking so just draws from there. Or if I want to spend the money in Paypal somewhere that doesn't take it, I just transfer the money there into my personal checking account and use my debit card or write a check.
