I've used Paypal in the past for online sales and it worked relatively ok. However there were issues I found including:
- Bugs in their API
- Inconsistency in the operation of their forms
- Poor customer support via email
But the speed of setup, relative low cost fees and ability to gather US dollar payments from outside of the US meant it was, at the time, the only viable small scale solution.
In the future for anything larger I'd do more thorough investigations on looking for alternatives. I also wouldn't want to have my business completely depend upon the whims of Paypal based upon their lack of good customer service.
