Honestly fuck Paypal, don't bring it back.
Asking as an ignorant person, what's wrong with PayPal?
It's pretty easy for a scammer to get your money from you via paypal with no recourse. Person claiming to be selling an item for x dollars. You purchase item. They get money. They disappear. No item. Paypal: "oh well!"
Well that's how money transaction works. The only way for you to have any recourse in this situation is something that can enforce laws. Or avoiding the situation all together through a reputable escrow.
