Hi guys,
I would like to share my thoughts about paypal..
From what i understand, there are 2 ways to send money through paypal.
First is as goods and services.
Second is as "transfer money to a friend or family"
Transering money as goods and services gives the sender the ability to take back the money with the excuse that the item or service is nos as described. Ideal for scammers..
Transfering money to a friend or family does not give you that option. So why nobody wants to trade like that? Why everytime someone even mentions paypal, he is accused as a scammer?

if paypal provide an option before accepting the money, it may have been safer. lets say i got a money from you and i saw that you send it as a gift from a relative, then i can safely receive it. but if its send in exchange of goods/services, i may have the option to say no. unfortunately they don't offer such.
