354035 2005-05-11 03:59:00 I've had a Paypal account for some 5 years now and haven't had a problem with it. Just beware of being fooled by phishers and scammers trying to entice you into revealing your Paypal account password. :eek: xmojo1 (4630)

It's not all good - they charge a disproportionate amount to process transactions - if you have money held in your account they can take it without your permission depending on whatever whim of the moment they have, and they're owned by Ebay who have enough bad press. And... they take several days to transfer the money to your account. And... there are several pitfalls to be wary of which they'll use to steal your cash.

The only thing to be said for Paypal is that they're less expensive than transferring money via banks.

354037 2005-05-11 09:07:00 I have been using Paypal for atleast 5 years. It is very useful for dealing with overseas transactions. I have never had any issues with their system. Now that it is integrated with Ebay it is even better. AucklandHost (8067)
