I use PayPal, not as heavily as I have in the past, but I have been scammed by about a dozen sellers, and in all cases, PayPal refunded my money. I've never heard of PayPal screwing over customers, only that it being owned by eBay is annoying because eBay gets two sets of fees on payments for sellers.

I don't care enough to find the biggest stories over the last 15+ years but here are two articles from January 2022 referencing a class action lawsuit over freezing of funds without explanation: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/01/paypal-stole-users-money-after-freezing-seizing-funds-lawsuit-alleges/ https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/01/paypal-stole-use... https://www.engadget.com/paypal-lawsuit-freezing-customer-accounts-funds-073128563.html https://www.engadget.com/paypal-lawsuit-freezing-customer-ac... And to be clear, this is not an isolated event.

Paypal is entirely reasonable as buyer. But I would never ever use it to receive money. Or hold balance there.
