I've never used paypal in the hobby, and I think it would be a mistake to use it with someone you've never seen before, but what about using it with established clients/providers?
Would that make the hobby safer, or would it result in more people being ripped off?
They will freeze your account, tell you they are gonna review it for 90 days or some ridiculous amount of time, so they can leave you sweating for all the time, then hopefully; if they feel like it they will mail you a check for the balance of your account less some service charge!
NEVER use paypal in the hobby! They are NOT hobby friendly. NEVER use paypal!
I agree dont ever use paypal in the hobby. As another user mention eGold is fine, bu most hobbyists dont have such accounts unless they are outside the US.
For me, the PayPal option is flawless. I use it with a couple of regulars, and I see them more often because of it. It's just too easy. I've got money automatically deposited from some things I'm involved in, and the ability to pay that way is the best ever. No ATM trips, no envelope, no headaches. The money never cycles into my "regular" accounts...so it's like playing for free, or with found money.
Of course, there are many pitfalls to be avoided so it's not for everyone. Some folks who can't handle cleaning their history and cookies shouldn't even consider it. But if you know how the process works and what to avoid...it's the best option ever!!
