Unfortunately, a lot of the time that I have seen, when Paypal/Ebay are misused is when there's typically a problem, and a lot of these are caused by other people (disputes about products on EBAY seems to be a big issue). Tom, I'm not saying your friends may not have had legitimate complaints about Paypal, but anytime you involve products from EBAY or you are ordering products from a person instead of an actual company, you run the risk of being ripped off. That's not a flaw in Paypal neccessarily.
You can also run into problems if you unknowingly enter into a recurring payment that's automatically deducted without your knowledge.
Personally I've used Paypal for over 8 years and have never had an issue (and I've processed numerous transactions). Your mileage may vary, of course.
