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?

There are several methods that I, and your parents and grandparents, use to send money to other people. Perhaps the best method I can think of is to send checks through the mail. If it's more time-sensitive, FedEx or some other courier service can be used. Otherwise, Western Union is a time-tested service for sending money anywhere in the world. Many banks can also do the same thing...it's called a wire transfer, and it's nearly instantaneous.
If you're both in the same place at the same time, you could always use cash.
Why overthink things?
Sorry folks...the world is bigger and more varied than you want it to be. Deal with it.
