PayPal????

iamthepringlesguy: PayPal????
I am unsure whether to use PayPal for eBay and would like to but i have heard that they can be unreliable, doing things such as freezing accounts, withdrawing money without your permission, etc. Is any of this true? Would you recommend using PayPal?

I have heard some of the same things however I can only say that my experience using them was fine. I did not have any problem with them and did find it an easy way to do business when paying for my purchases. If I were to purchase items on eBay I would probably use them however it is always a good idea to keep track of the charges on your credit card. I used a card strictly for online purchases that way I was able to easily confirm the correctness of any payments.

There is always good and bad to using anything. The problems you are talking about are encountered because people don’t read in detail how it works, so when it comes to getting the money they run into the snags. Otherwise, PayPal is terrific. PayPal is huge and they are going to do everything to the best of their ability. I would totally trust them. Good luck in your decision.

i had a paypal account for 3 years, no they don’t freeze accounts, no they do not withdraw money without permission, but pay pal account can be hacked into, when opening up a e-bay and pay pal account, you need to have e-bay under a different account name,e-mail address and password than paypal, do not link the two together

I’ve used it for 6 years and never had an issue. Most eBay users use it and most never had a problem.

I have an Ebay side business, and have been using Paypal for a long time. I’ve never had a problem, and wouldn’t think of using anything else.
