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?

About six months ago I closed my Paypal account, but it didn't go well. A lot of online firms use Paypal to process their payments, so while you don't have an account you're still using Paypal quite often. However, the real problem comes if you want to sell something on ebay, where accepting Paypal is pretty much essential. It was then that I ended up having to re-open my Paypal account. It's unfortunate, but Paypal is in a sufficiently dominant position that it's hard to avoid their service.
On the upside, Kellogg's aren't as dominant so dumping them will be easy.
