PayPal doesn’t suck?
I had previous issues with paypal and it usually took them few weeks up to a month to review them and always the decision was not in my favour 
And off course everyone heard all the horror stories about paypal and credit card chargebacks, some of them are here
But! .. recently i had another small and unpleasant issue with paypal and they froze my account temporary. I needed to remove paypal payment option from my site since it violated one of their various terms. So i did it, within about 2 hours.
And as usually I was mentally preparing myself to waiting at least 2-3 weeks till someone from paypal’s lazy stuff takes a look at my account and enable it back again. I was even going to open a new account… but then suddenly i entered my account and it was up again! 
I still can’t believe it took them just several hours to restore my account.
Actally I can only find two possible explanations:
1. I was very very very lucky - nah i don’t believe in lotery
2. it was automated
Anyway I’m quite impressed, hopefully googlepay will pose a bigger threat to paypal and paypal will finally have to improve their service

Its universal truth — Paypal sucks.
But it may be an exceptional case for you. :p

Well, I like Paypal
- It’s a nice way to pay instant. However, more competition is always great.

I agree with mong. I don’t use them anymore. But I have yet to see any real competitor of Paypal

I don’t think that is right to say they suck, as the only reason that they limit an account is to prevent stealing your money
I got limited too before some time - when some freak was trying to hack my account - so I’ve sent them the papers they wanted, and got my account back in two days, which is ok to me.
The real bad thing is that still there is no competitor out there, so they can really do whatever they want. Hope this will change in the future.
