I've used paypal on a couple of occasions several years ago and

them screwing people over to trust them with anything.
I opened up a paypal account a few days ago to send a few bucks to
someone else for a piece of software since I _really_ wanted it
and he only took paypal. I plan to close it again soon.
the ONLY problems I've heard of are related to them holding cash funds
in the account when transactions are disputed. My solution has been
to keep near-zero balance in my paypal account. I organized a group
event a few years ago, had to collect money from about 100 people for
camping and tshirts, paypal was invaluable. I've used it to buy many
items off ebay, send cash to private parties, etc. I linked my account
to a purpose opened checking account that has near $0 balance so I can
transfer cash out, and I use an Amex card for all payment transactions,
never had a problem.
of course, this is anecdotal evidence of 1 sample point, and therefore
meaningless.
