I have heard that there have been problems, if so what are they? is there a better way to pay for things online without using your credit/debit catd in uk?

Most of the problems that I hear about are from people who expect that Paypal will do everything for them if there's a problem with a transaction. It is up to you to make sure the seller is reputable and to realize that if a deal is too good to be true there is probably a scam of some kind involved.
Plus, PayPal is hard to talk with if there is a charge-back on your account. A real person is impossible to talk with and you will find that they are very strict about tracking numbers and such.
For all the bad press they get, they are still a good way for small merchants to have credit card capability for low costs.

I use paypal a lot. If you get paid you MUST check your balance on the real paypal site before you send any goods. There are a lot of fake emails doing the rounds.
I always report to paypal when I get a fake - they DO take action.
