Can I trust PayPal?

Being secure isn't the same thing as being trustworthy. Paypal works well as a service/tool for conducting business but do not mistake it for a bank and leave your money in it. I've seen hundreds of people get their money stolen by paypal and have experience shady behavior from them multiple.


I say this as someone who has a legitimate verified business account for nearly a decade and had my account locked up one day because I earned a little bit more money they expected me to earn. Had to resubmit all documents they already had on file about my nonexistent product supplier and a bunch of other intrusive questions about my business which is 100% legit. Being unable to use PayPal for a week cripple business and it took weeks to recover

So yeah, use it but don't get it twisted. Paypal isn't your friend, neither is any other company in the world. They don't deserve your nor have they earned it.
