No fee, no surcharge for using Paypal. Whether purchasing online or send money to someone, Paypal can ensure your money reaches intended recipient. Instant notification from PayPal to let me know where my dollars went or receive by whom.

PayPal customer support is top of the lines, and they are very helpful, knowledgeable people to help resolve any issues I may have. Fraudsters and scammers are everywhere where, one can easily become victim for a lifetime before he even realizes it. That is why I am using Paypal. > > **Cons**: PayPal is a well rounded developed, so far , I don’t have any issues.

I've had a lot of peers that have gotten random charges on their cards, and this has never happened to me. Furthermore, PayPal also offered buyer protection and their customer support is great at responding if there was any issues with your purchases. It's also very fast \& convenient, you can just pay with an email and password and no need to repeatedly enter card information. Furthermore, i love it's ability to automate payments, whenever I was sublease an apartment I could just automate it for the start of the month without having to manual remember and pay. > > **Cons**: There are very few drawback to PayPal, however, the fees can add up, especially for international transactions. They have a 5% fee and sometimes a currency conversion fee, so I found other platforms like my bank, the Bank of America, to do this conversions for more less. > > Overall, my experience with PayPal has been positive, it's a dependable platform for online payments, invoicing and sending/receiving money. Compared to other first choice payments like Zelle, Square or Venmo I find it to have more options especially with international transactions, however, it does have added fees. Despite this, it's adds an added level of security that not a lot of other plat forms can provide. ----- ### "A Convenient and Trustworthy Payment Solution" — 5.0/5 > **Susana** | *13 February 2026* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about PayPal is how easy and secure it makes online transactions.
