Weird. I NEVER have a Captcha / Not A Robot screen or button when using
PayPal....

I do not save my password. Have to enter it every time, my choice. Works
for me.

I do not understand the "how far along in the buying process you are"
comment. All the screens on PayPal seem logical to me. And there are not
many when sending money, either on their website only or through a
vendor link to send funds.

So far it works well for me! Both as buyer and sending money to friends.
Even for Tek supplies, to keep it on subject.😉

I don't have particular issues, other than complaints about this

this process easy), and about the quality of their buyer interface

do the "I'm not a robot" dance, and every time the site has responded
with "something went wrong on our end" throwing me back to the "I'm
not a robot" screen, so that I get to do the dance again, and maybe a
third time. That's shoddy UX on PayPal's part, and I haven't got any
patience for that sort of thing. Also there's no indication of how far
along in the buying process you are, so you just have to keep clicking
Continue until suddenly the process is over. That's also shoddy UX).
My only other complaints about PayPal are mere hearsay, but I've heard
too many stories of sellers having their funds frozen over the years
to think that maybe there isn't at least a little bit of fire behind
that smoke.
That said, I understand why people want to use PayPal: they fill a
niche that, even today, has very few players. If you want to accept
payment over the web you just don't have many choices, and the
established choices (credit card merchant accounts) are not well
suited to small players. When PayPal got started they were basically
the only game in town for people who couldn't afford to set up a
merchant account, and that benefit can not be overestimated. Still,
I'm a grumpy sort, and this is one of the things I'm grumpy about.
