Paypal is very flawed, besides the fact that you can get accounts with almost no verification, and that tech support won't give you reasonable answers to valid questions, I've been trying to pay for stuff for a long time now. I keep getting an "insufficient funds" warning, while i have plenty of money on the account to cover 3 times what i'm paying for. I've talked to them twice and they keep saying that the system is going through malfunction. It's been like over three weeks now. So yeah it's not a good system, but what are the alternatives?
Google Checkout is a good alternative. We clear almost as much money through Google as we do through PayPal and they strictly concentrate on processing payments... unlike PayPal which tries to do more than that.
But, it is only available in a few countries so it may not be available to you.
