Take these with a grain of salt... a lot of the reports are from people that are actually having problems with EBay and are expecting PayPal to act on their behalf in a fashion similar to what the Credit Card companies are often willing to do.

As well, a lot of the complaints are from folks that are mostly complaining just to be heard-- they don't actually have a legitimate problem or are expecting PayPal to perform tasks well outside of what should be reasonably expected.

None of this is to say that PayPal is perfect.

There are many thousands of users that are very happy with PayPal -- folks that use PayPal as the payment system for their main source of income (be it software related or an ebay seller). It works very well for a lot of people.

I looked into Kagi recently, but it seems that their pricing structure actively discourages sub $10 payments in that the percentage transaction fee goes up...

(going with PayPal because it can do micropayments relatively well and is a lot easier than amazon)

Well, I was in the middle of filling out Paypal's registration form, and
I thought that before I clicked the "Sign Up" button that I should do a
Google search and see what people are saying about the service first. I
found this:
