Paypal
Is it safe? Does anyone here use it? I'd like more information on it.
I want to buy an ebook from someone who has it and she said she will only accept paypal. I created my account just recently but i don't understand how it works. What's the difference between paying using your bank account and paying with your credit card?
I am very skeptical when it comes to buying things online so if anyone can ensure me that paypal is safe then please tell me about it.

Paypal is the best way to pay online from what I have experienced, and they do offer their own protection...
I never hesitate to use Paypal that is all I can sayWhat Would Fetus Do?

paypal is easy, fast, and safe. it's just weird that when you debit money into your account it takes 5 days to be available, and if you make a large sale when you're new they may put a hold on the money sometimes till they are assured the customer got the product. safe for buyers and sellers.

Couple questions.. Originally Posted by Little Wing

2) What is the purpose of debiting money into your account when the money just comes straight out of your bank account when using a debit card to buy something?
3) What happens if i get the wrong product after sending my money? Do i contact paypal or what?

I can talk for days about the ebay and paypal problems i've had.
Paypal is good, but far from perfect.Im not a drug dealer, im a street pharmacist!

1) research the seller. two minutes on google will tell you if there are a ton of complaints. Originally Posted by shiznit2169

3) if there's a screw up with an order i try n settle it with the seller if it's an honest mistake before risking sullying their reputation. paypal will help you if that fails. sometimes if the wrong thing is still something you might want you can get the seller to let you keep it and give you credit toward your next purchase. i haven't run into anyone dishonest yet.Last edited by Little Wing; 03-14-2009 at 03:52 PM.

Been using it forever, it's a good service.
I actually prefer using PayPal when shopping because it serves as a middle man. I don't care if someone hacks a database and gets my PayPal e-mail whereas if my CC # was lost it would be far worse.Ron Paul 2012
No gym for home, work out floor with 30, but is it for 20 like 30 lb when you no lift it to be for men, for 30 lbs instead? or half is 10 for 20 pounds?
