Can anyone tell me how to use paypal? I knew that paypal was one of the options to be paid through myLot, but I only now just realized it was the only way to get paid. Everything else I am a member of will also send cash. Many of them do use paypal though, so maybe its worth it to get it. I only have about a dollar in earnings so I know I won't be receiving any money anytime soon, but should I bother to get a paypal account? What is it, just a method of receiving money? What is the benefit of getting paypal, besides being able to get my money from here of course. I'm a little identity theft paranoid so I don't like giving out certain information on the internet, so anything I sign up for that asks for more than my name and address I'm very wary of.

My husband does a lot of buying and selling on Ebay so we've been using Paypal for a couple of years now. It's very secure and it offers buyer's protection, which has come in handy once in awhile. In order to be paid by Mylot you have to sign up for Paypal and attach it to your bank account. Mylot will deposit your payment into your paypal account and you can use it to purchase items online or you can transfer the money into your bank account and have it available to you there.

Hello, spalladino, i haven't used paypal too, but i've applied one to earn here in mylot. Do we pay the bank if we withdraw money or if mylot deposit money on paypal. I'm interested in online selling, but i've no idea what i should sell. Several days ago i spent a lot of time surfing the net and trying to find a desirable product, and i'm gradually lost my confindence.

Paypal is an a payment processing site. I have been using it for 5 years now and never had a problem. You can add your bank account to the site and then when mylot sends your money to your paypal account you can then have it transferred into your bank account it is a great way to manage your money.

PayPal is like internet wallet. You can deposit money through your visa card or various different methods and then pay stuff in the internet. MyLot uses this too, so they can pay you in the internet easily. After you get your first 10$ into your PayPal account, you can withdraw it to your real bank account. This is really safe way and you don't need to be scared depositing if you need to. Millions use PayPal everyday to do their shoppings in the internet. For example. Ebay the auction house site uses lot of PayPal when someone buys/sells something. It is easy way to do things.

Paypal accounts are very handy and accepted almost everywhere on the internet. It is a safe way to pay without giving away your bank or credit card information. I use it all the time and it is great. Paypal is a trusted site, because I have my bank and credit card on their and it doesn't give it to anyone when I pay.

I have a paypal account for couple of years now. I registered when I started earning money online a couple of years ago. I never had problem with them. You can get Paypal Debit card and use it in your purchases not only online but anywhere that accept Mastercard. If you don't plan to use it in purchasing something online, you can forward your money from Paypal to your Bank account.

It's free to sign up for a PayPal account or to send money to friends and family. You can also transfer funds from your bank accounts to your PayPal account at no charge.
Benefits of having a paypal account:
You can securely send and receive online payments. Here are other ways to use PayPal:
* Pay for online purchases.
* Accept credit cards.
* Send and request money worldwide.
* Track your online spending.

Paypal is very good & trusted site for receiving payment. You have said that your dad has used it, so you can also use it. You are doing so much work on net, you must join Paypal. You can use it also for ebay or online purchasing.
