Why is PayPal not dead? My guess is that it works well enough for most people. Gamble that you won&#x27;t be the one to get your account frozen, and you might be okay. And I guess a lot of companies aren&#x27;t aware of the risk of doing business with PayPal.<p>But PayPal exists primarily because there&#x27;s no reliable international internet payment infrastructure that allows direct payment from one real bank account to the other. We&#x27;ve for a system for that in Netherland, and every Dutch webshop uses it, but works only for payments within the country. We need something like that on an international scale.
