Paypal - do you use it

[BMG Gran]

I have never had a problem using Pay Pal. It is safer than using a CC.

I use it a lot for both purchasing and selling homes school curriculum. The one thing I would suggest is checking your bank account often. I did have mine hacked once. My husband, very irritated, asked me what I had purchased through paypal for almost $200. Yes, there had been a $199 something cents charged to our checking account from paypal. Not a happy day. I contacted paypal right away but the only way things could be resolved right away was to put a stop payment on the charge. That cost over $30 plus the over draft fee it caused and paypal did not cover any of it.

I was advised to change my pass word, which I did and I do now every yr or so.

A few years back I had a similar incident. Someone had purchased a $1,500.00 camera and paid with my PayPal account. I was contacted by the store where the camera was purchased and asked if I had ordered a camera through their online site and was having it shipped to New Hampshire. Well, obviously not so I contacted PayPal and they guided me through the process and I changed my password. Other than that one incident I never had another problem and have used PayPal many times since then.

I've used Paypal for years with no problems. It's just that there are a few sites still out there that don't accept Paypal.

I use it and like it very much. I've never had any problems.

I use PayPal every chance I get and I've had great luck with it. It's when I use my credit card online that I have had trouble.

I have been using PayPal for years without a problem. You have to be careful with emails though, some "look" like they are PayPal, but are not genuine. I never click a PayPal link in my email. I always open a new browser and type in the address.

-- I've been using Paypal since they were originally X.com . . that's about 16+ years . .
I use my Paypal MC - the credit card side - so I get cash back . . but I believe you have to have a business account for the cash back . . the only issue I have ever had ... was on a few international order I only ship via priority with tracking -- I do not ship flat rate international anymore . . I have to have that tracking number . . .

just a suggest -- just keep a close eye on ''all'' your transactions . . especially if your an online seller . .

Love PayPal!! When we had my clothing business online, it was the only way I would take payments. Guaranteed for both buyer and seller and they have the best encryption system on earth - They have to! So happy the M* takes it as well :-) life is so good

If a store takes paypal I use it every time. Love the safety and security of it.

Love it, use it all the time.

HOWEVER, I have had loads and gobs of SPAM/SCAM e-mails lately asking for information. PayPal does NOT do that . . . don't fall for it - you can always check the sender e-mail address if you are suspicious.
