I see there are a lot of negative reviews of Paypal and there's no doubt their charges are high and they aren't always too quick to pay out but they are the safest thing out there.

Just think back a few short years and how fraught with worry buying from anyone but the biggest stores online was.

It may not be perfect but it's safe...unless your name's Patrick from New Orleans that is. Ha ha...

If his post get's removed you won't know what I'm talking about here will you so have a look quick...just scroll down. He aint happy. Mind you, it sounds like a load of old cobblers to me, maybe he works for Google Check-out. ;-)

Edit 2020: PayPal is part of the fabric of the online world now!
