PayPal was definitely a useful thing years ago. Now, online payments are way better than they used to be. Before though, PayPal was a nice layer to send money without checks. I got some of my earliest internet payments via PayPal when it still felt sketchy to receive money online.
That said, PayPal (the product) is much less useful now IMO with Venmo (I know they own it now) and all the digital wallet payment services.
- wsatb 2y agoActually, I use PayPal more now than I ever did in the past. It's a competitor to Apple Pay and Google Pay. Apple Pay only works on Apple devices, and I'm often on Linux, so it's a fantastic alternative to having to type in my payment information to many smaller stores. I actually prefer it over using Apple Pay even if I'm on my Macbook.
