Stop laughing at me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
So what is it, is it safe, and where do I sign up for it? And are there different paypals for different transactions, like for Ebay versus private transactions? I know, I know - I don't even have a cell phone yet...... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Think of PAYPAL as a bank that holds your funds to help pay for different transactions, whether it be ebay or a private sale. They do charge for facilitating these transcations. But if you know what you are doing you can offset those costs.
It is much easier than going to hte bank or post office and getting a MO or cashiers check and having to send that. I have used it since its inseption and I reccomend it to anyone who is going to be selling or buying items on the internet. Be careful. If you sign up and have a PAYPAL account, neve rgive out any information, such as your private id or codes or acct names or numbers to anyone asking for them. There are scams that will email you and they use the PAYPAL logo and it looks legit, but it is not. If you want more info PM me. CCLINPAYPALMONEY |
