I've used paypal on a couple of occasions several years ago and didn't have a problem but I've read/heard too many stories of them screwing people over to trust them with anything. I opened up a paypal account a few days ago to send a few bucks to someone else for a piece of software since I _really_ wanted it and he only took paypal. I plan to close it again soon.
the ONLY problems I've heard of are related to them holding cash funds in the account when transactions are disputed. My solution has been to keep near-zero balance in my paypal account. I organized a group event a few years ago, had to collect money from about 100 people for camping and tshirts, paypal was invaluable. I've used it to buy many items off ebay, send cash to private parties, etc. I linked my account to a purpose opened checking account that has near $0 balance so I can transfer cash out, and I use an Amex card for all payment transactions, never had a problem.
of course, this is anecdotal evidence of 1 sample point, and therefore meaningless.
