ok this site ain't new but it has the horror stories and the alternatives to paypal its worth a look at least and info how to protect yourself from the fraudsters

Thanks for posting the link Trev, I'm VERY sure it will be useful to freelancers out there who view this forum, in fact I'll pin the post!

Yah thanks trevs. I need a good headsup once in a while

It's your paypal bible.

I never thought that PayPal could be bad *scratched head* hmm.

Well, i have never actually had a problem with paypal. I have had my account investigated twice because of some stupid complaints but they were sorted out within a matter of days. The only bad thing about paypal is the high transaction fee! I lost $150 on a transaction last week

Yeah, I hate the transaction fees I probably would have a lot of money left if they didn't have those fees =\

Well i dont have paypal account but most of my friends do.. btw i saw on paypal that they havemore than 50 million accounts :S.. could all of these have problems with paypal?

I don't think all of them have problems but only a few. I havn't had any problems personally with PayPal yet. I think it's a life saver but I guess the people at paypalsucks.com doesn't think that way.

i have had my fair shares of problems with paypal. It seems they have a bad security problem over there and are in no rush to fix it. They have very little liabilty to deal with and actual make money if someone uses a fraudulent account to buy digital products (they charge a $10 fine per fraudulent sale).

Just be careful, I still like paypal for its ease of use, but have had to drastically step up security on our site rather than relying on paypal's security.
