What's better than PayPal / what issues does PayPal have? I don't know any better alternative…

[-] badcommandorfilename@lemmy.world 35 points 2 months ago

I assume just normal credit card payments online? PayPal started because people were scared to use their card online, but now you get all the same buyer protections and insurance.

How do you send money to friends or businesses with credit card? Is there a paypal card which has your login information printed on it?

[-] 0laura@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

just send them money to their bank account. it's a lot more common in Europe.

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 5 points 2 months ago

I just use a bank transfer

[-] Sc00ter@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

Venmo usually, but many banks have built in cash payment apps too.

I'm 35 and never had a PayPal account and have never felt the need for one

[-] woodgen@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

Obviously you can do a SEPA transfer as well, but it's not instant and you have to type a long number and don't have a consistently good user experience. Bank apps lack good UX. Stuff like "send this friend 5 bucks again, this is his profile picture" and are a pain to log into.

I don't say I like paypal or banks, i actually dont like either. But paypal is just more convenient.

Venmo is, afaik, owned by PayPal, although they do a good job to not let on that it's a PayPal service.

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

PayPal stole my money and I'm far from the only case. Venmo is much better, but still provides fundamentally the same service

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 12 points 2 months ago

Which is weird because PayPal has owned Venmo for over a decade

[-] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Yep. Dunno what the difference is, but it works much better. Probably the underlying software is just better.

[-] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

For a merchant; PayPal fees are quite high, their merchant support is abysmal and you have to be a decent size SME before you get a dedicated account manager.

And dont even get me started on their so called "merchant protection" offer for disputes.

[-] MissJinx@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

yeah I like paypal and use it a lot
