I've had no significant problems whatsoever with PayPal, over a decade of heavy use, buying and selling, business and personal.
That said, I wish I didn't have to pay them a cut, but that's no different than paying a bank to take your Visa or Mastercard chits, so it's a cost of doing business. I use PP enough so that they actually give me a better deal for moving the electrons (which is all they really do!) if I don't extract the money, but zap it around the internets that Al Gore invented instead. And that preferred rate is lower than the bank takes for VISA/MC....
YMMV.
