Was PayPal ever a good option in the early days of exchanges in order to buy bitcoin? If someone wanted to buy a ton of bitcoin in early 2010, would PayPal have been the way to go to buy more than 1000 usd worth of bitcoin? Why did PayPal get a bad reputation then?
as others mentioned you have no privacy with paypal
but I think the biggest danger on using it for the person who's receiving is the fact that paypal can chargeback transactions, taking this into account it'd be a fact already to avoid it completely
there are better alternatives in the market nowadays
paypal fees are huge as well
