I do some work with a non-profit. We use paypal to collect fees/dues from our about 400 members. It works fine. In the 7 years we've been using them we've yet to experience any problems. We aren't high volume. I think the internet echo chamber makes Paypal seem out to be really bad, when the truth is all payment processors have their bad days. People have heard of paypal and trust them. We had a few questions about it when we started (Do you really get the money if I use paypal).

Yeah, I use them all the time without problems. The trick to that is being sure I can probably trust the person on the other end. I reduce risk where possible, esp with reputation tools.

  Of course not everybody has problems with PayPal. If they did, PayPal would have been dead by now. But there have been way too many cases where PayPal clearly took money that wasn't theirs, and thereby endangered business and customer interests. Even one such case should be enough to disqualify them as payment provider. It is not their money. They should just enable the transaction.
