Do you guys like the new paypal?
In my opinion it is great. I usually don't like change because that means I have to learn something new or the change is bad when something is already fine the way it is. But this new Paypal set up is quite nice looking. It is also very professional looking and I feel has a nice flow to it. I would definitely want to learn how to use this before going back to the other one. It does not seem like there is much to learn because all the tools are right there in front of you. Which brings me to my point that they give us the right tools I will need as a seller right on the front page without having to go through other windows.
Also I have a quick question did the old Paypal have "customers" section because I never saw it and I feel It could help me find certain people instead of going through pages of Paypal to find a payment a customer has a question about.
I also love the charts and graphs they look very fresh and nice , book keeping and activity which tracks all your sales / money right there !

I prefer the old version and I'm rarely bothered by this type of (almost) needless cosmetic change.
While I like that you can see the payment details from the summary page without having to a different page I wish one could see at a glance the gross payment amount instead of the net amount.
I rarely look at my PayPal account so it's not a big deal for me either way.

I prefer the old version as well and I've had to go back to the classic version a few times to find what I wanted to see.

Don't like that they don't display the country under "Shipped to" with the buyers address. Why on earth would they remove the country?
I go through the paypal payments and cut and paste the address to make a label. In some cases now I don't even know the country to be bale to add it myself without changing back to classic. Why can't I just make it stay on classic all the time with that being an option to click all the time.

Ugh!! It is the MOST horrible format, not easy to read! I prefer the old one!!

Not displaying is really stupid!!!! So I hate the new format on that basis alone.

Hi Video! Actually I'm with you, the last time they offered the beta view, I immediately "went classic" as I just have too much to do and learning the new layout was getting in my way.
This time I made myself look around a wee bit and while it is taking some time to find the stuff I used to know right where it was, so far I have been able to do everything I need to do.
In addition to that, there is some awesome extra information. In my current record-keeping I do not have a way to identify country of origin of my buyers in my reporting, so I've been guessing as to my distribution of customers. The new customer information very nicely provides that, someday when I have more time, I will link that information back to my loss-rate etc which will help that be more meaningful and accurate.
So I'd have to say I'm also on the side of "I like the new PAYPAL".....
