I've had a PayPal account for over 20 yrs. I initially set it up for buying and selling on EBAY but since have used it for purchases with many online vendors. I've also used it for rent payments from tenants and other person to person transactions. I've kept an account balance largely created by online selling but also have credit card and bank account links. Never had a problem. Lately, I've learned they will even do bitcoin transactions. You don't have to buy a $90,000 bitcoin but you can purchase a $10 item with a fraction of a bitcoin that PayPal obtains from a third party using your dollar funds. I came across a vendor that wants payment in bitcoin. Not sure if I want to deal with that vendor for other reasons but cryptocurrency will likely be part of the future and PayPal offers what seems to be a safe and easy way to dip one's toe in the cryptocurrency waters.
