I have done a couple of purchases at Deal Extreme and you can purchase things there using your PayPal account. I just don't know if you have to have a verified PayPayl account before you can actually purchase things online. I have also purchased something from ebay and with high rated sellers, it seems like you have less to worry about..

It depends on the seller if they will provide free shipping or you would shoulder the expenses on shipping. Also, look at their reputation as well as buyers comments about the seller..

I forgot to mention in previous post, always read your return policy for anything you purchase online, for days, whether they do or don't accept returns, such as that.

some sites do not make it easy to find return info. Some companies send postage paid return labels, some have a number for you to call if you want to return an item & then they send you a label with a claim number and some companies may charge a certain % restock fee. So you have to read all the details carefully.

paypal is the absolute best way for online transactions! It is linked to your bank account, or as some said, can be linked to a credit card. I have a paypal credit account. It is not only safe, it is so simple!

I use paypal for all online purchases that accept paypal. And if I have a problem w/the company that I purchased an item from I can always be assured that paypal will help in resolving the problem. Of course it has to be a legitimate claim.
