paypal is by far the worst payment processing system that I have ever used...

Why?

Terrible site, slow load times, history of poor security. Disenfranchised workers and a bureaucratic nightmare. Along with a history of freezing assets of popular projects for no reason. (wikileaks donations for instance).

I agree that the site isn't great, but I'd still call that above average, especially nowadays. Load times are fine for me (using O12). Poor security? (other than not having two-step authentication)

The rest of the things just comes with it being a huge corporation that pretends it's not a bank I guess. Funny thing if you search for PP here

Didn't they have some "controversial" privacy policy change recently?

Anyway, I still see it as the lesser evil of the widespread totally-not-a-bank payment processors.
