Answer :

Paypal is an eBay company. While they are convenient and nice for certain things, like you said their policies are a bit up and down. They can actually hold your funds in some situations for a long time 6–12 months. If you are a business operating and using Paypal, I wouldn’t advise it. Especially not in this economy.
