I avoid PayPal completely. I've had experience with them charging twice and pretending it didn't happen (never got a refund), being charged secret "fees", exchange rates 2x the market rate (which I only found out after completing the purchase). All sorts of actions which we'd usually call "scams" but legal department has probably signed off that they can defend in court.
Additionally, *a lot* of scams operate exclusively with PayPal, because PayPal doesn't care as long as it's profitable for them. There's no risk of a bad reputation because you can't have a reputation worse than PayPal anyway.
Oh, and PayPal has also many times banned activists because of simply disagreeing with their cause. Not because required by law or any similar obligation, simply their own will.
We really need decent payment providers; it's sad how many have to rely on this kind of business because they don't realistically have a choice.
