Why Do Tutoring Sites Not Use PayPal?

Why Do Tutoring Sites Not Use PayPal?I have been paying attention to the many tutoring sites that do not use PayPal for payment and have been trying to figure out why this is. Does this mean I am getting screwed?Of course, if you go to any PayPal site and log in, you will see it all. No PayPal, no credit card, no orders or shipping information, and all transactions that way. It would appear that the major tutoring websites do not use PayPal. What does this mean for me?Well, my question is, if tutoring sites that do not use PayPal do not have payment methods, how can I find a good provider? The only way to do this is to investigate various tutoring sites yourself and compare prices. PayPal takes a cut off the final price for each purchase and that is where the savings come from. So, even if they do not use PayPal, if the cost of shipping is less than the full price of the item, then I am saving money.If they have additional charges for hours spent, times are worked, or other such char ges, then I can save a little money too. The thing is, if you have a problem with credit card fraud, these extra charges should not apply to you, because if you pay by check, then all of your purchases are final. Any time your PayPal or credit card processor gets billing information that is not your own, it is an illegal transaction.Then there is the problem of ordering from a PayPal site, because if you get caught in a false identity scandal, then the large tutoring companies will cease to be legitimate tutoring institutions and you could end up losing your certification, credit rating, and employment as well. The PayPal websites are less important for a few reasons.First, PayPal is not very user friendly. It is not intuitive, it does not allow you to purchase items without having a credit card number, it does not allow you to make purchases online, and of course, if you pay online, there is an extra fee, so if you are looking to buy stuff and pay online, PayPal is not your best be t. Besides, there are other options that do not require that you provide any kind of information. PayPal's privacy policy is horrible, so I am not going to waste my time with them.That leaves PayPal, which is a great service to use when you want to pay someone in person. But if you are looking for a big tutoring organization, PayPal is not a good choice, and as you can see, it costs nothing for me to avoid paying any extra charges.
