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 was about to recommend Dwolla, I had heard good things about them and the price per transaction is only 0.30USD. However I reread their Wikipedia page and they were investigated for inadequate security practices.
Money orders?

Dwolla pivoted. They only do the backend stuff now, probably because of the issues you mentioned. To do transfers between people, you need to use one of their white-label customers or sign up to one of their business accounts.
