		<description>PayPal can freeze your account for any reason they deem suspicious! But, I still use them because their around and therefore can complain about them. And other people continue to use them and complain about them! So it all works out. Hopefully!!</description>

		<description>I love PayPal&#039;s customer support. It was terrible 2 years ago. Now, it&#039;s the BEST. They talk to you, they hear what you have to say and they help you. You can even  talk to developers and there is a direct way to alert their engineers of the system issues (which only happens after upgrades).</description>

		<description>I have used Paypal for over 6 years and completed over 1000 transactions through it (both buying and selling) with 0 problems. I think it&#039;s probably true that their customer service is bad but in all this time I&#039;ve never needed to experience it. There is another plus with Paypal. I have a debit card and you get 1.5% back everytime you use it to purchase anything. It&#039;s not a credit card, it&#039;s a regular debit card. Using it for business purchases and getting that 1.5% back helps make their effective rate even lower.

I&#039;ll risk the small amount of money I keep in it for the low fees. I have read of people having their accounts frozen but it was never &quot;for no reason&quot;. It was caused, in the case I read of, by a sudden huge increase in payments received on a newly set up account. And, in that case, their money was not lost, only frozen until it could be looked into, then released. It was a fund someone set up to receive donations for huricane relief. There was a lot of fraud going on with that type of thing at the time.

I would venture to guess that there is probably not a payment processor around that hasn&#039;t made their share of errors and failed in customer support.</description>

		<description>It is unbelievable how much money people will throw away on superstition.  PayPal&#039;s customer service sucks, but I still have yet to see anyone (that I know) get their account frozen for no good reason.  I used a &quot;real&quot; provider for years (Authorize.net) and it just ended up costing me a fortune and customer service was just as bad.</description>
