PayPal is not a scam, you have issues with them and just because of that they put some ban on your account. Others are using it without any problems.
PayPal is company and their services are used by many people, it's same with other big companies, there is always someone to complain for something. Nothing can work perfectly good for everyone apparently. Today there are critics for anything, I think OP will solve his problem soon if he didn't do anything wrong.
Nah indeed PayPal is no scam, they have proven themselves over the year, they are just sometimes very annoying but nothing more than that.
I really think that PayPal is a okay pay method..
