I've never been used Paypal before and I have stupid question :lol. I have some money that I want to spend there - I want to make a payment for an Internet shop. I won't use a card, but my account there. So, is there a tax for that? I've read about the taxes but they're not very clear to me. Can someone explain pls?

Hi bananamen1, like you I also would like to use Paypal for online payment. I shop at ebay but I've never use Paypal as payment cause there are only few seller who accept Paypal. I ask seller on how to use Paypal as payment but unlucky none of them respond. There is Paypal fee but I don't know if there are other fee aside from the Paypal fee.

No, in the contrary, paypal is the only recommended payment in ebay.

In my country I'm glad that most of the seller preferred electronic cash tru cellphone or bank deposit.

It may depend on your country. There might be some things which are set in your country. Where are you located?
Based on my experience, there were no tax on paypal because tax is already charged on the product that you are buying.

Hello Bananamen!!! you go e bay and search the item of your choice with PayPal payment option, you need not pay any tax to shop through e bay and pay through PayPal, You can opt even for free shipping of the items that you purchased through ebay via paypal payment.

No, you do not need to pay for tax. All you have to pay are the item price and the shipping cost. If it's free shipping, then you only have to pay for the item. I am sure there are other sites other than ebay, but ebay is the only one I use. Ebay is safe and has buyer protection feature and I think it's good.

it depnds if the site accepting paypal or not coz if they accept then once you purchase the item, they will send you an invoice where you can have an option to pay via paypal. if not then try to contact the seller if the seller accept paypal if yes then ask for their paypal address and sent it directly from your paypal by entering their address. the same thing like sending money to other people.
