You’re better off using your own debit or credit card. In my experience, you get far more buyer protection than with PayPal, which I found offered very little protection when I needed it. There’s also no live person to speak to when something goes wrong—everything is automated, and I found the system unreliable. I used PayPal for many years, but after my experiences with them, I eventually closed my account and will never use PayPal again.

I used to really like this app, but since they have made various "improvements" I find it hard to navigate. It took me ages to find my list of payments after one update. I also don't like their reward points system (if you have chosen to sign up). It's very inconsistent and takes forever to get enough worth redeeming. I think PayPal are trying to hard. They need to stop all the fancy updates and put a person on the end of the phone instead of a useless AI chat bot.

Very hard to find what you are looking for. far to many things all crammed together that are useless to most. The original was so clear & easy to navigate with the 3 lines in the top left showing every option that you needed. Now its become a real pain, friends that are on PayPal say the same. Way to cluttered & not pleasurable to use anymore. PLEASE REVERT BACK.
