| Hi All,
Given another terrible experience with Paypal does anyone use Stripe as the only
payment option and have ditched Paypal?
I appreciate neither is perfect. Trustpilot rates Paypal as 'bad' and
Stripe as 'poor' so not much in it however I have little issue with Stripe
payments and dread when a issue arises with a Paypal transaction as 'seller
protection' is a joke.
Thanks

Paypal sucks trying to get issues resolved. Trying to deal with an actual person
that is. Stripe will let you know based on previous credit transactions whether
the purchase is suspect, or if the customer routinely files chargebacks. Stripe
also is setup to direct deposit to your bank at intervals, but you may wait a
day or three to get your money moving. Paypal is more widely accepted, and can
deal with multiple currencies, including crypto. So you can accept payment in
USD, and shift those into BTC for your own investment strategy. It's a mixed
bag either way you go, but for my money, Paypal is probably more flexible and
more widely used for accepting and making payments.

Quite the opposite here.
Never have had any problem with PayPal.
For various reasons, when I have to call them I've got someone on the phone
immediately.
But we're a registered company with a pro account, so that may be a factor.
Also, as a general behaviour, I don't let situations rotten up to the buyer
has to start a dispute/claim. So very very few here. In short, we're
ultra clean in their files. May have an impact also.
Note PayPal represents here 80% (in amount) of our payments.
We couldn't afford not to have them.
