I have been using PayPal off and on since 2012 for 2 main reasons.

1 - Convenience, I didn't have to enter a credit card every time I purchased from a site other than usual trusted sites where I store my payment information, like Amazon, and sending payments to friends/family was simple.
2 - Peace of mind.

I recently found that the assumption of (2) was wrong, so I fired PayPal. I don't want to get into the details. Beyond being therapeutic, it won't really make life better moving forward.

That brings me to the question, since I have fired PayPal, I am sure that someone will want to send me, or more likely, have me send them money. Before I go out and research the providers on my own, I thought I would come here. What do Soylentils suggest for peer to peer payments?

    I fired PayPal. I don't want to get into the details. Beyond being therapeutic, it won't really make life better moving forward.

    Yes it will, because we're now all left to guess as to what serious problem with PayPal you've discovered.

    Don't pretend the details aren't important. They very clearly are, or you wouldn't have based your decision on them.

    Beyond that, how is anyone meant to give you advice if they don't know what your issue with PayPal is? Are you just seeking an exact PayPal clone? No? Then we need specifics.
