I know there are issues with paypal as of late, ie phishing, ebay scams and so forth, but other from that.. if the problems happen at least Paypal will at least do something to help out as much as they can. But I hardly use it, but would go with the suggestion that you dont leave a lot of money in the paypal account. Just put in what is needed and pay whatever when the date comes up.

I had paypal account with money in it and never had any problems. Im sure they do not need to cheat anyone as they are millionaires already. If inceidents do happend it could also be a misunderstanding or an accident. I personally never had any problems.

QUOTE I got a business account and all I had issues with Security measures taken by paypal. I was asked for documents and proofs but I feel they are for good sake. I also had a business account with PayPal. Do you know they have one of the worlds most advanced fraud detection systems? I bet half of the people who signed up for PayPal never read the TOS basically they can get your for anything and you cant do jack about it. That is why i don't use PayPal any more and also due to the fact that its support was lousy and the verification process was long and annoying so in the end i just gave up. But i now use 2Checkout which is miles better. |

well I have an account but so far didn't had any problems.
but you have to keep in mind that its an internet paying options so it will always have a little risk.I don't think paypal is a 100% safe payment methode even if so far everything went great.I hate giving my personal info on the net so to be honest I only use paypal when its totally necessary. |

I've never had any problems with PayPal since I guard my information so well. I've purchased from eBay and other sites if you're wondering.
I've heard horror stories of PayPal, but sometimes its the user who started it. Other times they are the victim of a phishing scam that PayPal can't do much about. |

I have a pay pal account operating quite a long time without any problem.
>> It offers plenty of warnings and stories of people that were scammed. I am curious about your opinions and experiences if any. Warnings are for the safety of our money. In my opinion, paypal is the one of the safest and most secured money transfer system for Genuine merchants and buyers who use credit cards for online shopping. Create new paypal account its free: https://www.paypal.com/ Please make sure you are in secured mode 'https': This post has been edited by rvalkass: Sep 15 2007, 07:34 PM |
