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) |

My God... something I agree with Miles on. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) eBay is okay... they collect fees. But if you add their Paypal fees on top of that, any little profit that a seller makes can be quickly chewed up. It's definately a money-making machine. If you DO get a PayPal account, open up a second savings or checking account to go with it. Put 25 bucks in there. That way, if you get a bum you're doing business with - they can't complain and have PapPal reverse the charges on you. If you read their fine print, they CAN do that. You can fight a chargeback with your credit card company... if they wipe out your checking account, that's your CASH for living expenses. It's a good thing that our Classifieds are free.
