PayPal have 60+% market share of the ecommerce transactions. Stripe is distant second with 16%. Crypto doesnt make it to 1%. So nope, PayPal isnt going anywhere anytime soon.I don't get refunds from Payoneer and Transferwise. I never had one yet. I don't really get refunds from Paypal either. In my 7 years online I only had 1 very bad case of chargeback on Paypal, and a few baby ones scammers. I never really get legit chargebacks because if there's an issue and we talk with the customer and they have a valid reason to get their money back, I'll issue a refund. But it rarely comes to that too because I'll just offer other services and bonuses and usually people go for it.
You have no guarantees with Paypal that you will get your money back.
Two months ago I happen to have an issue on Paypal and Payoneer at the same time, 2 payments I made, identical cases. I raise a dispute on Paypal with their "process," and I contact Payoneer about it too (they don't have an in-built way to do a dispute, so I had to contact them). The result? Paypal lets the scammer keep my money, Payoneer refunds me.
The vast majority of buyers may agree with you, but given time and experience with Paypal they won't. Payoneer has a much better record.
Ultimately Paypal's days are numbered, with the appearance of more and more payment processors with smaller fees and the rise of cryptos, together with paypals increased fees and destruction of businesses and lives (crypto, adult, and the list goes on) left and right, paypal's days are numbered. Fuck em, good riddance.
