I hate writing checks so much that I would rather pay the paypal fee than write a check. I've been using paypal for several years now and I've never had a problem that was due to paypal... Only my own ignorance.

I used to only use it for credit card transactions on ebay. Then I started to pay with a bank account. I didn't want it to be my checking account so I used a savings account with a small balance. Well I found out the hard way that you are limited to only a few free transactions per month when transferring money from a savings account. I was lucky that my bank refunded the fees. They totaled almost twice as much as the actual payments.

Now I transfer an amount from my checking account when my paypal balance is getting low. Saves me the time of having to enter each transaction in my checkbook.

I say Vive le Paypal!!!!
