PayPal Experience

I would call PayPal safer than other places on internet but not as safe as Bank. I have had problems with them such as reversals, limited account access etc, but now everything is fine. I hope you don't have to face any of them as it is so bad if we can't use even our money.

A friend of mine has regular transactions with eBay since several years and eBay recognises PayPal. She has had absolutely no problems so far.

you wouldnt face any problems with paypal---they would even offer a refund for your if you didnt get hold of the product you paid for---so your money would be safe there.Make sure you shop in good sites---there have been cases where people can be scammed....very much like one lotter who bought a 32 GB pen drive but they have delivered him a stick which shows only 2 GB.great day.

Hello friend So far i have never heard or read that some body lost his/her money in paypal, in my opinion our money is totally safe there like any other trusted bank, so keep accumulating, check www.paypal.com see your amount ther.. Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

yeah darling paypal is safe..as in really safe. i have just experience difficulties when it was my first time because when i tried to withdraw to account I typed my card number instead of account number so i was deducted about $6 dollars for that.. but the second time around until these days, it is better..

i have had my PayPal account for years and never had any problem at all with it in any way. I feel very happy and secure using it.

Overall my experience with paypal has been pretty good. Recently someone tried to access my account however but luckily paypal was able to recognize that it wasn't me trying to access my account and I didn't lose any funds out of there. I think that if you are worried about fraud chances are that paypal will be able to limit your account before whichever hacker is trying to take your funds. Overall it's a pretty good pay site but if you don't like paypal I'm sure you could also try alertpay or libertyreserve. There are plenty of sites out there that pay through all sorts of different payment mediums.

I feel safe using PayPal. All of my experiences have been favourable. I've seen a lot of fraud though. Sometimes I get fraud email that give me a salutation of "Dear customer." The salutation should ALWAYS have your name. If Paypal can't write your name, then it's not Paypal.

In my case, I already use Paypal during several years now and I only had once a minor problem: Paypal refunded the money I recieved from a buyer and the reason they gave me to take this decision, when I asked them, was that the money the buyer used was not his own money. The credit card the buyer used to pay me might be a stolen card, so they made their own investigation. In my case as a seller I was at that time, I didn't want to loose muy money, of course. But on the other way, when you think about that users are not able to do any fraudulant action using Paypal, so yes, Paypal is very safe. That means for example that it is difficult for other users to use your money as it is investigated buy them and your money will be returned to you if another member tries to quit it. So until now your money is save and at the moment, I am really happy with the service Paypal is offering to his members.

hi mrfdg1972. thanks for posting this discussion. i've been reading the responses and am glad that most experiences with paypal are positive. helps to ease my mind since i too am new to online earning.

I have had my Paypal account for more than 6 years now and never faced any problem. You are wrong that there would be nothing you can do about Paypal. When Paypal opens business in any country, they would have to obey that country's laws and regulations. You can either email them or call them.

Me also new to the paypal and i have very little experience in that but i believe that we can feel safe because paypal is ruling the entire world....

I think it's safe just like Alipay from China.I used it for many years.You can just do it according to a correct way.Good luck.

PayPal is safe unless you give your details to someone else, so don't do that! I have never had any problems with PayPal, quite the contrary actually, they always helped me out in many ways.
