Is Paypal dangerous?

I visited this site, www.paypalwarning.com and I've read hundreds of testimonies about their experience with Paypal. They say that Paypal can freeze your account for no reason. I'm not here to instill doubt in Paypal users because i'm a paypal user too. I'm just worried. What do you think?

Paypal really suck and freeze the account very easy. Some people lose a lot of cash when they sell physical items with paypal. Paypal also give a lot of support to the US citizen but for my tier 2 country in Europe they don't even offer seller protection. The best thing would be if paypal was like alertpay but still paypal. With alertpay I can block creditcard payments and the support is much better so far (atleast for me). When I tried to contact paypal, they only sent me to their telephone number even if it was a simple question like 2+2. But as long as you do not have any problems with paypal, they are safe. The problem comes when you try to run some kind of business with paypal or if you earn lots of cash.

i havent had any problems with paypal so far.... and i have tried withdrawing money from there and was able to cash it out here with no problems at all. if a user abides by the paypal rules, i dont think that he or she will have any problems with paypal... just follow whats in the tos and everything will be okay. if they have their accounts frozen it can be open again for 90 days i think, so they can still get their money back... never checked the link you posted here though. because im happy with paypal and how it is working for me now.

I've been using Paypal for 3 years now and I never had problems with it. Paypal is the most trusted third party when it comes to making online transactions. But I think, it depends on your location, I believe Paypal really has some problems accomodating other countries and for sure they are working on it, but that doesn't mean it's a dangerous website. Paypal is a totally safe website and it's one of the tools that online earners use in online jobs and businesses.

I have never had any issues with PayPal and actually recommend them for certain transactions that I perform. I wonder what those who had thier accounts "frozen" were actually into?

If you wanto to know my oipinion on this then I would say paypal is one of the safest way to trade online. And taliking about the banning the account there must have been a good reason behind that. Now a quick question why paypal would want te reduce thier earnings.
