i use it for my ebay account and havent had a problem. I dont know how to use it for anything else tho
Its really easy to use. I use to buy and sell stuff over at archery talk and havent had a problem with it. When receiving moneythey take like 3 % out of the amount paid to you as their fee.(no big deal) Now as long as you dont pay as a gift to someone you are protected through paypal and if something goes wrong you can file a claim and get your money back. Now if you pay as a gift that option is not available. By paying that way the person reviceing the money doesnt have to pay the paypal fee, I would only suggest doing it that way with someone you know and trust. Hope this helps and makes sense.
ive been using it for over a decade and im only 26. Youre fine, just uh be careful of scams and always cover your ***. There are ways of buyers to get their money back, if you don't have any proof on your end you may lose the money
This^^^^ I've been using PayPal for over 6 years. I've never had any issues at all with them. Its a great service just be careful about scammers and like Oly said, don't pay as a gift with anyone you don't trust.
PayPal is the safest way to spend money online period. I've used it since before I could drive and have never had an issue. 4 times I've had to file claims over getting screwed by sellers, each time my money was refunded no questions asked by PayPal. I often won't buy from a website if they are asking for my card directly and won't accept PayPal.
Everyone summarized it perfectly. Ebay and online places= great. Using the gift option you have to be careful. Good luck.
I use as well, it's easy - and like everyone else said; make sure your trust who you are buying from. Paypal itself is fine!
