I had double charged for tickets I have purchased. Straight away a real person had taken care of it. Secondly, the remaining tickets had to be taken care of as well. Reason is I had never received confirmation from the merchant. Since the charge was still pending a real person, customer service representative deleted the charge. I have been with PayPal since the beginning, and they have never disappointed me.

Great team

★★★★★

They worked really well on creating the platform. I'm able to open up like a online store yet also in person too. love now they work with and torm to the embody of my business making everything straight and narrow. I have always used them for what i was able yet now the reach will be further. teaming up together with new and larger strides than ever before with the business side.

★★★★★

From all the other platforms I've used PayPal is probably the simplest online payment method I've come across.It's easy to set up, they don't care if you don't use for a certain time, it's acceptable just about anywhere online, and customers can use just about any payment to pay you...lt must have for any online business.
