Very good customer service and support It also very good for payment when purchasing goods or services > > **Cons**: No rewards like some of the newer backing apps I’d like it to be a bit more like a virtual bank I used another service for my day to day transactions > > I’ve been using PayPal since the early days and mostly for eBay purchases but more for every day online checkout in the last few years ----- ### "Nice Money transfer but slowly fees are going up" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *26 December 2025* | Business Supplies & Equipment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: With a doubt it is one of the greatest app in money transfer world , it really made money travel easy within different currencies. > > **Cons**: The way they now try to make money. The conversion rate the provide is worse and they charge fees on top of that also. If 100 pounds = 125 usd , paypal will give only 115 only . > > Overall it has been an great app but the way they are increasing their fee ans charges it getting expensive , to receive a payment they charge upto 5% of the payment which is quit a bit of share. ----- ### "Great fast safe service for your money" — 5.0/5 > **Niamh** | *16 February 2026* | Telecommunications | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: fast, easy to use, can use of phone or computer. Makes paying for items easier or receiving money for payment. > > **Cons**: Sometimes there are transaction fees. Sometimes it can be hard to access your money if the account is frozen or restricted > > Really good. I used it for being paid from a job and transfer of funds was immediate. I was able to then transfer the money to my bank in seconds. It felt like a safe place to hold my money because sometimes on my bank, subscriptions or debits will come off but i can trust that in paypal it stays at same amount ----- ### "It's good, if you don't have alternatives." — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 February 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's simple enough and a lot of people and places accept it as a form of payment. So it is really useful to make fast transactions. > > **Cons**: Its fees are prohibitive. I stopped using it in Brazil because Pix is a way better alternative, and stopped using it outside of Brazil because everything has to be converted to BRL, with prohibitive fees for currency exchange. > > It's simple, and when it's the only option it is a good platform that works as intended. But nowadays I don't see any reason to use it anymore. ----- Page: 1 / 1053\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/179251/paypal?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/179251/paypal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
