Excellent website and application that I have been user for 20 years. I have always used it for websites like ebay, steam and sites like shein that will help prevent fraud as additional measure of the bank support.
Pros
- only one account for all you payments- send and receive money from other accounts and countries- receive donations- process payments- any currency is accepted- easy to use- can be used to buy crypto- notification of payments and payment requests- excellent help from support in case there issue with the product or payment
Cons
- account is linked to a country, difficult to change between countries because of legal reasons- not that welcome outside of usa because of name vs others, ex. mercado pago, or neo banks- cannot retain money, only as a midpoint between bank accounts- somewhat expensive cost to use because of currency conversion and commission to use

Pros
The thing I like the most about PayPal is that, around the world, it's widely accepted and I can send and receive money from companies from different countries (that uses different currencies).
Cons
The thing I think PayPal should definitely do is to standardize money withdraw. Even between SEPA countries it changes. In Czechia, for example, the time to withdraw to a SEPA account (that's not it Czech Crowns) is way higher than if I choose to use a czech bank account, while in Italy, it's faster to any SEPA bank account.

Over all Pay Pal offered my a great easy to use interface and wonderful experience. I am really happy to be the part of the Pay Pal circle. This is widely accepted and recognized.
Pros
Well I am amazed that Pay Pal used the reverse verification process , like in if you register your account than you need to prove your account by depositing a small amount to the parties. BUT in Pay Pal you give them the account details and Pay Pal will credit a very small amount whose last 3 or 4 digits you need to put in for the verification on Pay Pal site. This is the most amazing feature to engage customer without risking my personal bank details on the third party servers.
Cons
I can not able to use my visa based gift cards
