From my experience PayPal sucks for paying anything as (at least for me) it constantly triggers fraud alerts and then blocks whole account for days. Currently

  paypal can be problematic for receiving money, but i have no problem with paypal to pay my hosting and i used it for airbnb from my debit-card/bank account. the only time i had a problem was when i received money, and paypal wanted to see a bank statement to verify my identity i think. where is your money coming from? and where is it going?

    Boss in company had setup following chain: company bank account -> PayPal debit card -> Digi Key order. Worked once, payment refused ever since. Randomly locked and needed to call support to unlock it, so it can be locked again after few days. Similar problem with all other eshops for ordering parts/material. After an argument with the boss, I have forced using of virtual debit card directly from a bank account, never had any problem since. From experience which I got, I don't even understand how anybody can take PayPal seriously.

      part of paypals problem is that it seems so inconsistent, and difficult to understand why it works when it does and why it fails. i would not be using paypal if i had another option, so i am glad my usecase works. i am definitely not happy having to use and support a company that treats its customers arbitrarily like that.
