PayPal PayPal's got a very mixed reputation on the net. There are many anti-paypal sites. I didn't know about them until my account became limited and 200 euros've been frozen. The reason: For a while I only received payments from my clients (I am a freelancer artist) then on one sunny day I tried to pay with my paypal account (for software) without being verified (the verification happened later, I had to wait for my german bank account, I am from Hungary) then I tried to resolve, but it cannot be for some not understandable reason. Now I wait for 180 days (why?) to hopefully get my 200 euros to my account. You can read other horror stories about PayPal, but I am not here to ruin their reputation, I guess my story is as much my fault as theirs. In my opinion it would be a great service if it would been ran a better way. Maybe that's why some companies fo it otherwise if there are other ways.
I use plimus only, because it's nice to have answers in timely manners. ( a few hours, even on the week end... ). As far as i know only BMT and Plimus offer that quality of service. pat.
I initially accepted payment just through PayPal but moved to Plimus. The day after I removed the PayPal payment link I got three enquiries about paying with PayPal so I've put it back on my info page. I get roughly the same number of sales from both Plimus and PayPal at the moment, so opinion is obviously divided on it. In the US I think people can make PayPal payments without signing up as members, but the option hasn't been made available to UK PayPal users yet. Once that's sorted maybe I'll see a rise in the number of PayPal sales.
