i use some ptc and ptr sites to earn some extra money but for payout i need PayPal if i search in the internet i find only bad things about it so i want to know what you think about it and if you had bad experiences with PayPal another thing i want to know is: do they send messages by mail? (cuz my parents shouldnt know) and are there additional costs? (i know i have to pay 1,6% if i receive a payment)

Paypal charges a fee if the company you receive the money from doesn't do a mass payment to all users at once. They do send email notices when you receive money.

It's just the percentage of the payment that's all. Paypal's not bad at all. It is a bit of a bummer that they're going to take money off of what we earn but other than that it's safer to have a middle man dealing with your bank details than the companys themselves. Yeah they do contact you by email, but not by actually post (snail mail). Hope that helps.

Paypal has received a very bad press over the years, but my personal experience has been quite a satisfactory one. You can open a Paypal account without the need to add a credit card etectera, so there is nothing really to be concerned about. As for emails, Paypal will always send an email to notify you that money has been received.
