Paypal buys IZettle for 2.2 billion ??, page-3

My only thoughts are as an ex PayPal merchant, I would look for any alternative not to use PayPal again in the future.

A google search reveals numerous complaints over many years from numerous countries and recently.  The delays and lack of real-time processing for the merchant are costly as are the fees particularly when dealing with international currencies.  Plus your PayPal account funds were not yours - you often had to wait 5 working/business days to clear before you could access them/transfer them to yourself.

That was my experience of using it in 2015/16.  The experience is not always better for the customer and it is interesting the South Africa respondent is in the link as South Africa had banned PayPal.  I couldn't receive payments from SA and vice versa.

I certainly cannot imagine PayPal being a threat to ISX.  I could imagine PayPal having to consider that maybe one day they should develop and evolve technologically.  I wonder if they might consider ISX a prime candidate as a buy-out in the future in order to secure the technology.

Not a fan of PayPal at all.  Many aren't.  Customers like PayPal but I doubt whether too many merchants do.

Here are the list of iZettle complaints courtesy of a google search.  Many sound as similarly frustrating as PayPal.  Ignore the ratings as they are often self-rated.
