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?

If you're *selling* via PayPal, sure. I haven't heard about any problems with using them to buy stuff as a CC frontend.
I'd guess using them to pay other people and lack of "Peace of mind" means OP thinks they're leaking his info?
"Is that really true?" "I just spent the last hour telling you to think for yourself! Didn't you hear anything I said?"

At this point it is almost crazy to NOT think businesses with large user databases are selling your info.
